DeLuca

Her words enraged me, then fucking broke me. I don’t break for anyone or anything, but with her, I snap, crumble, and dissolve at her feet. How dare she say she would rather be back with Ferro, or any man for that matter?

Doesn’t she know who I am?

Doesn’t she know what those words do to me?

But then I remember—no. She doesn’t know. She doesn’t know what’s going on or who the hell I am aside from the man who kidnapped her.

I slam my office door and walk to my desk. When I step up to it, the rage boils over, and I swipe everything off my desk, glass breaking and papers flying before settling in a mess on the floor. Slamming my fist down, I curse. “Fuck!”

I’m supposed to hold all the fucking cards here, yet she’s playing with a full hand. I’m losing. She’s making me unstable, mentally and emotionally. She’s right. I could have anyone, and anyone would be easy to tame and control but Arabella. No, she can’t be. And truth be told, I don’t want to control her outside of what she wants. I know she desires for me to control her in the bedroom and obsess over her outside of it, but when it comes to her heart—that, she wants to give of her own free will. So why don’t I just fucking give her that?

I ponder this question for what seems like hours. The conclusion I come to isn’t a good one, but it’s the only one that’s right. The one man who can assist me in protecting her and help me gain her trust needs to be called. I realize the risk, but the reward—Arabella’s heart—is much fucking greater.

Pulling my phone from my pocket, I order Maxwell in when he answers on the first ring.

“Office. Now,” I bark, irritated that I have to do this.

Not even a minute later, he’s standing in front of my desk, questioning me for the first time ever. “Sir, you know they could be tailing him and that you are at risk of being taken out as well. He won’t care that you kept her alive.”

“Don’t question me. Give me his number.” With one last look of doubt, he finally concedes and does a few things on his phone. Then he turns the cell to me, and I see the digits needed. Typing them into a burner phone I pull from my desk, I wait for the ringing.

“Who is this?” the man answers roughly, and I turn my chair.

I look out over the courtyard and up the length of the tower where my principessa is locked away, angry and hating me more than she did when I put her in my car.

“I know where your daughter is. Meet me in the alleyway next to her apartment at 4:00 p.m. sharp. No henchmen. If you have one when I get there, I will make sure you never see her again.”

He curses through the phone, but I hang up.

This will be the deadliest game I’ve played yet.
