Chapter 21

Dinner at the Rossi table is one of pomp and circumstance. My father’s place is in the grandiose upholstered chair fit for a king at the head of the table, keeping a watchful eye on everyone. Keane takes the seat next to him, the one that used to belong to Kellan.

Keane regards me with an almost apologetic look before sitting. Jax plops down next to me and casually bumps my leg under the table. I can’t tell if it’s deliberate or not. Several of my father’s men stand against the wall or near the entryways. They won’t be eating with us. They are here to stand guard.

Since the attack on Kellan’s cabin, the house has been crawling with soldiers and made men. Which means, everything I do and every move I make will be monitored or noticed. The only upside to that is it will also help protect me from my father.

The booming voice of my great-uncle announces his arrival before the man himself walks in.

“Where is my little faro?” he says, and I can’t stop my smile.

Uncle Dom gave me that nickname when I was born. Faro means lighthouse in Italian. The fabled lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt is considered to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. I say considered because there is no physical evidence or historical remains that prove it actually existed.

I stand up to meet my great-uncle’s outstretched arms. He’s a large man like my father, but completely bald. He has similar facial features to the British actor, Mark Strong. A straight, regal nose, thin eyebrows, and angled jaw. It’s been years since I last saw Uncle Domenico, because like the rest of the Rossi family, I was completely forgotten as soon as I left with my mother. I’m sure my father had a lot to do with that. It’s water under the bridge. Uncle Dom was always nice to me, and I really need some allies here. I’m already struggling with being in the same room as my father for more than three minutes.

“Hey, Uncle Dom,” I greet him kindly.

He engulfs me in a warm hug. He smells like Cuban cigars and peppermint. I relax in his embrace, enjoying whatever affection I can get. My cousin just dropped a major shock on me with her happy nuptial news, and I’m still reeling from that blow to the heart.

Rafe and Rita are getting married. I shouldn’t care. It shouldn’t make me feel anything. I told him that I hated him. But I would be lying. Because it does hurt. And I don’t hate him. Well, yeah, maybe I do. Especially now. I’m probably madder at myself than anything.

Apparently, Rafe doesn’t care that he’s engaged. He seems to be planting his dick in anyone within breathing distance. First, there was that blonde at the bar, and then what happened between us yesterday. It makes me sick to think that his fingers, which so easily took me to heaven in the pantry, his lips that kissed me like the world was ending, have also been in and on my cousin.
