EVELYN

Swaths of dark red blanket my vision as I open my eyes with a well-rested yawn and stretch my body. It feels like I slept under a weighted blanket when I swing my feet over the edge of the bed. The first step on the platform is wide and not as warm as the floor itself, but it reminds me of where I am.

Alessandro let me fall asleep in the playroom after bringing me to several orgasms. A cum coma has me ready to face the day. I'm not sure where Lorenzo is, but I put the T-shirt back on and take the elevator straight up to my room. My phone's still on the nightstand, but I can see there are a few missed calls.

Missed calls before nine in the morning are never a good sign. The first voicemail plays from about forty-five minutes ago.

Ev, can you come today? I just need to see a friendly face.

The next message that plays is from my mother.

Evelyn, where are you? Shana says she needs to see you. You know what your sister is going through. You’ve got it made living it up in the lap of luxury, but your sister is in that dreadful place. The least you can do is pick up the phone for her. Don’t be the spoiled brat. Oh, and come for dinner tonight since yesterday got shot to shit, literally. Love you.

A groan and a plume of exhaustion push out of my nose as I push the next message:

Mio dolce. Rest, sleep, relax, take as much time as you need. If you have to go anywhere, take Lorenzo or Jenkins with you. I’m meeting a client and then have to go speak to Pop. I’ll see you tonight.

The sound of his voice is soothing, far more than I ever realized. I can feel the warmth and strength of his embrace. I don’t want to lose Alessandro. Going back to being Don Matteo Rossi’s spoiled daughter is out of the question in my mind.

Keeping this marriage intact is added to my list of things to do as I get ready for the day. By the time I’m dressed, Jenkins is outside waiting beside the car for me. I don’t see Lorenzo anywhere, but I guess he has other duties than babysitting me all day.

Jenkins is quiet with his black eye prominent and his attitude about it blatantly obvious.

“How are you feeling?” I ask him.

“Like yesterday shouldn’t have happened. I should have never took you to see Anita, and you should have never been at that bastard’s house.”

“Jenkins, you have to follow orders. Being vocal with Dad isn’t the same as raising concerns at a job you can’t stand.”

“He used to listen to me more, but he’s so excited about this merger between his organization and Oscar that he’s willing to put too many people in danger. I’m sorry, Evelyn. I shouldn’t talk to you about this. How are you holding up? Is the kid De Luca treating you well?” he asks, looking to me in the rearview mirror.
