CHAPTER TEN

MARCO

“Renovations look good.”

I’m watching the men working on the new security system I insisted we set up at Rapture after River finally told me about the mysterious letters.

Skittles.

I know who they’re not from, considering the usual suspect is dead and buried somewhere not even wild dogs could find him. The cold sweat that ran down my spine when I read the notes was enough to keep me up all night worrying, which is a new reality for me. My entire life has been about finding my enemies and crushing them. The monsters in my world are always visible, as eager for bloodshed as we are. But this? This isn’t the same thing.

I don’t fucking know who’s stalking my wife. Again. The Ambrosios clearly have it out for her, but I can’t imagine they had the kind of intel about what went down between Nate and River to pull this stunt. I mean, how the fuck would they know his nickname for her?

“A compliment, that’s two in a month. Should I be afraid you’re catching feelings?” My tone is rather playful—this is Enzo, after all—but those words in my mouth are like acid melting my brain with the horrid visual of any man trying to steal her away.

“Reel it in, Cujo. Don’t be fucking ridiculous.” Jesus fucking Christ, I must be tired if I’m letting anyone speak to me this way, even Enzo. He’s dedicated his entire life to our family. Hell, I’d say he is family, but then that would be awkward for Lina and whatever relationship they’re brewing. “All I’m saying is that she placed her money well.”

“She did, and I had to break a fucking sweat for her to accept some help.” When she renovated Rapture, she wanted to get a loan for a few extra costs she had envisioned.

“I’m sure that conversation went over well.” Enzo chuckles beside me, probably thinking about how fucking stubborn River can be when it comes to her independence. I think, somewhere in the back of her mind, she believes she’ll end up alone again, which means she doesn’t want to be dependent upon anyone or anything. I gave her my word that I wouldn’t go anywhere without her, ever, but we both know that in my world, that’s a dangerous promise to make.

“Who said it was a conversation?” I start to walk away after that, Enzo’s knowing chuckle following me as we make our way across the main floor, eyes scanning the camera angles and making sure the employee doors have new badge scanners.

I grin at the memory of me fucking my wife into submission with her legs wrapped around my neck, her work heels digging into my shoulder blades while her deliciously filthy mouth screamed every obscenity into the space around us.

I let her come only once she agreed to take my money and forget about using a fucking bank.

“Your sister would have my balls if I tried half the shit you do with River.” I stop, turn to face him, and scowl.
