Description
Alessandro
Being the heir of the Don of the Valentino Crime Family comes with its perks.
Money, power, everything I’ve ever wanted I’ve gotten.
And the girl who’s currently chugging down a beer from a red solo cup isn’t going to be any different.
I want her. Which means she’s already mine. Her fate has been decided.
Her eyes hold a sadness I want to drown in. And I have an even stronger need to find out what caused that look on her face, so I can be the one to erase it completely.
Cassidy
I’m okay. I’m fine. I’m good.
All words I keep repeating to anyone who asks how I’m doing. How I’m coping.
All lies.
The truth is I’m not okay. I’m not fine and I don’t think I’ll ever be “good” again.
The only thing I feel other than grief right now is the buzz from the alcohol I continue to force down my throat.
But I know that’s going to fade too. And all that will be left is the big black hole of despair that has me in a chokehold.
Nothing can make me feel anything anymore. Not even those dark eyes glaring at me from across the room.
