"Almost there," he says, squeezing my hand.

I look through the window of the limo we've been riding to his father's estate. Three weeks have passed since he killed Ugo.

I’ve been busy, in between secretive phone calls with my mom about my brother's improvement, developing a business plan for my mobile charity massage idea, and also fucking my husband. That has happened a lot.

We've even done anal a few more times, and I've enjoyed it.

My time with Massimo means living inside a bubble and knowing it'll burst one day. What would he do if he knew Alonzo was making strides with his treatment in New York? How will that dynamic change? Will he be more upset at me hiding the truth from him or my brother possibly taking over the family business?

Massimo married me to fulfill a duty—the need no longer exists if my brother is well. I'd like to say that my mom will still honor the deal, but I know her better than that. She looks for any loophole to her advantage, and sometimes, she doesn’t have to look very far.

Will Massimo want to divorce me? I quiver. Will he want to… hurt me? Peg me as a traitor? I want to be optimistic, but in Massimo's world, traitors pay for their sins. I haven't kept the truth from him for a day or two. It's been almost a month.

Damn it. Our marriage is on the line, and he doesn't know it. Fuck. I hate this secrecy.

"You said your parents are attending?" he asks, interrupting my thoughts.

"Yes."

My mom made sure she'd be in town for this. Aldo Gallo's birthday bash is a big event, and she wants to show her loyalty to the family.

"Do you think I look okay?" I ask. I am wearing a black, one-shoulder, mermaid-style dress. I thought I looked good when I saw my reflection in the mirror before we left; my hair styled wavy to the side, and the makeup on point, thanks to the artist who came over and did it for me. But I'm always on edge whenever I attend these social events with Massimo. I've only been to a few of them, but they were enough to get the idea.

Navigating a room with him is hard. Most women look at him, drawn to him, no doubt still surprised he's now off the market. And when he walks, there's an awareness around him, and people take notice. I always wonder if the people he shakes hands with are business partners or potential enemies. The energy of deference to Massimo is the same.

He always looks so damn good—like right now, with the double-breasted vest suit that only he has the shoulders to pull off. The man is delicious.

"You're stunning. I'll show you later."

I run my finger down his nose. "I bet you will."

He catches my finger with his mouth and nips it. "Always good to have something to look forward to at the end of the night, rat."

Anthony stops at the entrance, and Massimo steps out of the car, stretching his hand toward me to help me out.
