It was difficult for Beatrice to pinpoint the exact moment when everything
fell apart. As she looked into the vacant eyes of her husband, who was
bleeding onto the hotel floor, the memories leading up to that point blurred.
She should have felt something. Maybe happiness? The motherfucker
was dead after years of abuse. She should at least feel relieved. The old her
would have been giddy over justice being served.
The more realistic person she had become wondered how long it would
take for the Albanians to kill her now. She wasn’t even in her city, where
she could run back to her father. Not that he’d have taken her back. She’d
already tried that during the first year of her marriage.
Business was most important to those in La Cosa Nostra. Santino
Lucchese held to that truth more strictly than most.
It was almost fitting that she would die in an upscale Vegas hotel room
with no one in the family anywhere near. She’d almost died in a hotel room
once before. Her wrists twisted at the reminder, letting the bangles her
husband had bought her shift over the scars, a reminder of her lowest point.
Even with nothing to lose, she’d been too afraid to slit her wrists. She’d
only managed to make hesitation marks with the razor by the time her
husband had found her. His brown eyes had lost all warmth as he finished
what she had started.
Not that his eyes had ever been warm. She’d known they never would be
the first time she’d stared into them, during her wedding to the wrong man
—not the man she had lovingly given herself to, but a stranger whose
presence her father had decided would strengthen the family more.
Her Albanian mother-in-law was the one who hadn’t let her bleed out.
Not because she cared for her. No, the dragon of a woman hadn’t wanted
her to escape that easily.
Spilled coffee dripped onto the carpet, the muffled splat breaking into the
quiet of the room. She hadn’t noticed the way the tipped cup had spread.
Dark brown mixed with the red of blood. And those goddamn eyes that had
always seemed dead when she’d looked into them continued to stare at
nothing.
Eye contact had been important to her husband. He wanted her to stare
deep into his eyes as he fucked her raw. It was the moments she looked
away that made things worse. That was when she was slapped or choked or
beaten bloody. She’d known better than to look away.
But moments before, when he’d torn her underwear so he could shove his
cock into her, it had hurt, as always. He’d meant for it to hurt her, and she
hadn’t wanted to give him the satisfaction of seeing the pain in her eyes.
Beatrice had really tried that night. She’d dressed appropriately, in a
modestly cut dress, long-sleeved, of course, to hide her scars, but with
enough of a glitter to hint at her husband’s wealth and status. She’d served
him and his guests and remained quiet, the perfect little wife.
