I lay out in the sun next to the pool, ignoring the dark presence of the man a few feet away from me.

“Let me guess, you’re here so I can stop wreaking havoc?”

“Something like that,” Giovanni replies.

I roll my eyes and try to enjoy soaking up the sun’s rays after a swim, but now all I’m able to think about is Romeo and Azriel. Did my dancing get him in serious trouble? Or worse, killed?

“Please tell me Romeo is still alive.”

He’s silent. Too silent.

Whipping around in my lounger, I spear him with a concerned glance. “Tell me he’s still alive, Giovanni.”

He sighs. “He’s still alive. A little bruised up, but alive.”

“Bruised up? Are you kidding? I thought Azriel and Romeo were friends.”

He shrugs. “Sure, you can call them that. But you don’t dance with another man’s wife, and you don’t laugh with another man’s wife. Especially not the boss’s.”

I scoff. “Jesus. You say that like I’m his property.”

“You are.”

I think about Azriel’s words, about me begging him, and I grow disgusted.

“I am not his property. And I never will be.”

“Are you done?” Giovanni chides like I’m a child.

“You know what, no, I’m not. I want to speak to my father.”

His eyes flash to mine. “No.”

“Why not?”

“Because Azriel is not here, and he needs to give you the okay.”

“Let me get this straight, I need an okay to speak to my own father?”

“Yes.”

“I guess that also means I need permission for a new cell phone, correct? Do I need permission to use the internet? What about when I need to use the restroom, should I ask permission for that, too?” I seethe, wholly consumed by the red swell of anger firing through my veins.

“Are you expecting an answer?” he replies in a droll tone.

A frustrated growl rips past my lips as I stalk inside. Azriel mentioned he wasn’t like my papa and he didn’t want this place to feel like a gilded cage, but it sure as hell feels like one.
