Fresh out of the shower, I pull on a new silky nightgown. It’s in my favorite minty color. My life used to feel so busy, but now it’s as if I have nothing but time. I wake, eat, chat up anyone who enters my humble abode, and then pace around. After pacing, I stare at the ceiling, think of my mother, and am bored out of my mind. I usually wait as long as I can, at least until after dinner, to shower. A person can only make their bed and sit in water so many times before that becomes boring as well.

I’ve searched this room from top to bottom…for what? Who knows, but there’s nothing interesting, or that will help me flee. Not that escaping is looking promising anyhow. There seems to always be someone lurking. I can hear noises, though I’m not sure if they ever hear me. Whenever I call out, nothing happens. There’s never a reply. Another thing, what If I left and it was the middle of the night out in a field or something? I have to figure a way out of this room to at least scope my surroundings.

The door opens, garnering my attention. It seems like hours since Margo was here, though I doubt my timeline is accurate. Cristiano enters, wearing a fitted polo shirt and dark jeans. He’s gorgeous, his body muscular, and no doubt knows the effect he has on the women he comes across. I shouldn’t stare so unabashedly, yet I can’t seem to look away. He’s captivating in that sense, and I’m utterly drawn to his compelling presence.

“You’ve changed,” I mumble absently, not meaning to speak my thoughts aloud.

His brow hikes, drawing my gaze to his perfectly sinful face. The man is granite to the outside, yet when his stony façade cracks, he’s a kaleidoscope of beauty. “Si? How so?”

“Y-you’ve grown. You’re so tall now, and you have muscles.” I bite my lip, blushing with the embellishment. How did I not pay attention to this before? I was so wrapped up in my emotions, I wasn’t looking at him with open eyes. I wasn’t beholding him like a woman does a man—and not just any man.

His lips quirk into an enticing grin, flashing a sneaky peek at his bright white teeth. Everything about the Vendettis is alluring, even the fact they’re ridiculously dangerous. I feel for any woman getting tied up with them, as we’re all put through some sort of hell, no doubt.

“Mmm. The better to hold you with, to protect you.” He winks roguishly.

I roll my eyes, catching on to his Red Riding Hood response. “To protect me from yourself?”

He scowls, reminding me of Matteo. His brother wears the look like it’s a permanent feature. “There’s no need. You’re mine. I protect you from anyone else.”

I can’t help but pick at him, wanting to snatch that cocky confidence out of his grip for a moment. “Like Valentino?”

He saunters closer, coming to a stop directly in front of me.
