Monday, two weeks ago, I learned who put me through such terror, and I hated him for it.

Since then, the fine line between hate and love is blurring slowly, fading like the darkness at sunrise, giving way to the first colors of daylight.

Things are quite different today.

For starters, we’re in Rome. The change of scenery has made a world of difference to my mood. I’ve been getting antsy at the Sicily compound, feeling bored and out of place, reminded daily of who he is and what he’s done.

We arrived here on Saturday after he dragged me to a helicopter without notice. We’ve taken up residence in Mateo’s beautiful and, of course, highly secured villa on the outskirts of the city.

The past two days have been wonderful. Whenever possible, Gualtiero took me sightseeing, and because he’s a walking history book, he could tell me all the facts of wherever we visited and lots of entertaining tidbits as well. He’s, without doubt, the best tour-guide a girl could wish for.

Island Tiero was back, and we laughed together, even held hands, and flirted. It reminded me of our good days… minus the sex. And that’s getting near impossible to resist.

I stopped lying to myself that I don’t want him because I do… a lot.

But whenever I consider crossing that line again, something is holding me back.

If I go down that path, it’d be like waving my capitulation flag, my agreement to be his eternal consort in this criminal world of his. And I can’t do that.

I haven’t given up hope that I’ll find a way out, but in the last few days, I haven’t tried very hard to spot that loophole, and it irks me.

I’m annoyed that I’m getting used to this new life of mine with all its perks and limitations. I mustn’t lose sight of pursuing my freedom!

This evening, Tiero is dragging me to a nightclub where he’s set to meet with a business partner.

I hate nightclubs and begged to stay at the mansion, but he wouldn’t have a bar of it. I had to listen to his standard decree of “You go where I go.”

Our procession of cars comes to a stop in a back alley. Everything is eerily dark and quiet. Tiero takes my hand and plants an absent-minded kiss on top of it. He seems slightly on edge.

“No talking to strangers, princess,” he says, his gaze zeroing in on me. “Do you understand me?”

I roll my eyes. I don’t need a reminder of what happened last time.

“Yes, dear,” I say sarcastically.

He raises his hand to my face and holds my chin in a tight grip in warning. “I mean it. Do not talk to anybody unless I introduce you. And no wandering off either. You will behave tonight or you won’t like the consequences.”

He looks expectantly at me, and I give a tight nod in acknowledgment that I’ve heard him.

What’s crawled up his bum?

He’s Mafia-boss Gualtiero tonight with no sign of the softer island Tiero of the last two days.
