“I am a big man, just ask Lily. I’m sure she remembers.” He smirks at Giovanna as he rubs himself.
How could I have ever loved him? I dreamed about having a family with this narcissistic asshole. Giovanna stares at him. I’m pretty sure the looks on our faces match.
“Now. You’re going to tell me what made you write this book.”
I stare at him and frown.
“What are you talking about? What book?”
“Don’t play stupid with me. This book.” He says as he throws a book at me.
It’s the most recent book that I wrote for Carter James. How the fuck does he even know I wrote it? The contracts authors and I sign says I can’t tell anyone that I’ve written the book. And I’m not about to break that now.
“You realize I’ve kept tabs on you since I left right?”
“Why would you do that? You just told me that I bored you. Why would you need to keep tabs on me?”
“Why not? I knew there would be a day I would need company and you’ve always been good for that. Just a warm body to fuck. And you’re stupid enough to believe that I loved you. So I knew you’d let me back in.”
Again. How the fuck did I ever love him?
“But then you wrote this book. And I knew then that you needed to be gone. You can’t write a story about me and get away with it.”
Holy fuck. Does he really think that book was about him? I’m so confused right now.
“Wait. You took us because in your twisted mind you think that this book is about you?” Giovanna asks.
“Of course it’s about me. You dumb bitch. Who else would it be about?”
“A fake person maybe?” Giovanna rolls her eyes.
“Again, why do you think I wrote that? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t play stupid. You know how I know.”
I give him the blankest stare I can muster up.
“Wow. You really are that fucking stupid.”
“Actually, I thinkyou’rethat fucking stupid. You keep saying things like Lily should just know. Either tell us of shut the fuck up.”
“I bet you get put in your place a lot. I know mafia families. And your mouth must used a lot.”
“I can’t wait for you to meet my papà.” Giovanna smiles.
“Me too. He’s going to thank me for teaching you this lesson.” He says as he slaps Giovanna.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I scream at him.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to leave you out.” He says as he punches me in the face.
I can feel blood dripping down my mouth. Just as I’m about to stand up, he pulls a gun out.
“Sit the fuck down. We’re not done talking yet.”
I look at Giovanna and I can see the hate in her eyes. I know for a fact that no one in her family would ever lay a hand on her. Carson calls in the other guy and he takes Giovanna out with him. I scream at them to leave her alone.
“My papà and my brothers are going to love meeting you both.” She snarls at them.
