I lay in Nino’s arms, overwhelmed by his confession, our breathing ragged
from…making love? We’d made love. Nino had told me he loved me, really
loved me, no fake emotion, nothing false, just love.
Nino raised my hand and pressed a kiss to my wrist. “Your pulse picked
up again,” he said, regarding me closely. “Are you okay?”
I smiled, couldn’t help it. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my
chest, as if everything I hadn’t even dared to dream, much less hope for,
was suddenly in my reach.
“I’m just happy. For a while I thought it was something about me,
something inherently wrong with me, why I couldn’t be happy, why bad
things kept happening to me.”
Nino swiped his thumb over my pulse point. “Life doesn’t work like
that. Bad things are not fate, or punishment of an almighty power.
Sometimes bad things just happen.”
I shrugged. “I know that now, or I think I do. But when I was a young
girl, Father always blamed me or Mother when something went wrong, and
so did my brothers even when they had messed up, and I believed them. If
you’re told something often enough, you just take it for the truth. When
Father hit me, I thought I deserved it.”
Nino’s body became tighter, his gray eyes sharper. “Your father got
what he deserved. Luca didn’t give him an easy death.”
I pushed myself up onto my elbow. That was news to me. Felix and
Egidia always told me Father had been killed by a bullet to the head. “Luca
tortured him?”
Nino’s dark brows pulled together, his fingers on my wrist tightening
once more. “You didn’t know?”
I shook my head. Nobody had bothered telling me the details. I wasn’t
sure if it was to protect me, or because they thought I had no right to know
as a mere girl. I bet my brothers knew. “I thought Luca shot him.”
Nino’s mouth twitched, something dark and eager flashing in his
expression. “He shot him in the end, yes, but before then Luca did what he
does best.”
I wasn’t sure how I felt with the knowledge. My father hadn’t been a
good father, or a good man. He’d hit me and made me feel like I was worth
nothing, had shot my mother, but other than Durant, who’d destroyed my
innocence, I never wished for him to suffer. “You respect Luca for it.”
Nino looked at me in surprise. “Of course. Luca destroyed an entire MC
chapter by himself, chopped them to pieces, skinned them.
He loves the
personal kill, the close kill, and doesn’t mind getting his hands bloody. It’s
easy to give a kill order or shoot someone from afar, but killing them when
you feel their terrified breathing, when you smell their cold sweat, see the
terror in their eyes, that’s something entirely different. Luca crushed his
