Authors POVHe has seen those eyes before; he could swear on it. Soft blue, the color of a calm sea, they watched his every mood change, fearful and stunned. Behind that fear was calculation.Or maybe he was just overthinking it. the Mafia's security forces having him suspect every damn thing, including a girl in a white towel who had lost her memory.He pushed back, his right-hand flexing when he raked his fingers through his hair. "Trust me, Contessa," he said, shaking his head slowly as if regretfully, "You aren't my type. You shouldn't fear.He saw a little anger in her eyes, and when he turned his hard gaze on hers, she immediately melted.He pointed to the bed and said, "Do not wear whatever that is outside of your room; there are men out here. It won't be my fault if they don't control themselves."The blood was working its way around her body again."And Contessa?' He turned, saying, "No more words about you leaving the manor.

Zayne's POV.I wasn't supposed to be here, driving her downtown to get new outfits, but then here we were, and she had her face out the window, her Auburn splashing in all directions. Good thing I had my glasses on, for right now I was being a creep.She smiled at me, and though I didn't smile back, I had this tug in my chest; it felt like I was dripping down like goo.She was a whole lot more character than she was the night before, though I hadn't told her anything because she didn't remember anything that went on.I wonder how mad she'd go if I told her she had asked me if I'd kiss her.The lust was a mutual thing, then. The liquor had helped her spill, and getting her drunk again had its appeal. Too bad. I made that bet.I looked toward her again, and this time she had her hands out of the window, her eyes closed, loving the feel of the breeze on her fingers.She looked shocked when I told her we were going to get her clothes, and even more shocked when I borrowed her one of my po

Author POV "How did you find out?" Zayne clenched his fists against his side. "Happened that today I was ready to kill; didn't take his soldier time to start talking, but that was the only thing he was saying, nothing else," Matteo answered me. "Why do I feel like you are hiding something?" Zayne's jaws were beginning to work up. Matteo knew how much he hated being kept in the dark. Matteo noticed the tone immediately: "Are you done with her?" Zayne turned to the boutique to see her and Nora coming out of it with countless bags in their hands; she was now in jean trousers and a white shirt, one of the clothes she had chosen. "Yeah, we are; I'll be there in an hour," He felt her behind him. ******** "I'll be there in an hour," she heard him say, and she stopped, standing behind him, wondering whom he was talking to, and with the tension on his shoulders, she wasn't so sure it was good. He turned to look at her, sizing her up, and that got her mesmerized by how his eyes changed
You Can Run But... The Idea
She felt like throwing up looking at a face hell-bent on destroying her; even without knowing her secret, she wondered what would happen now that he knew who she was."For someone who lies so much, you really have a way of showing your feelings on that face." Matteo dug his hands into his pocket. "You dance very well too; your father had to hide the fact that he had another daughter."That was his only restraint from pulling her by the hair—a cartel in the manor, who the hell ever heard of that?"What's your aim, Gia? Why are you here, all around the Don?"She shook her head in fear as it began to eat up her voice box. "It's not what you think, I swear to you...""Your father stooped so low sending his last daughter....""No, my father didn't send me," another of these damn tears was pouring from her face, "my father is dead.""More lies?""No damnit!" Sobbing profusely, what did she have to lose? Capo Bastone already knew that in a few minutes Zayne would be walking through that door

It was pretty, but it was an engagement ring, and it was getting me confused.That stone on it was worth enough to get me out of Rome and live life to the fullest for a whole year, and it felt so heavy on my finger.but not as heavy as the thoughts in my head."So you're saying I'll have to pretend I'm Don's fiancee because..."Capo Bastone groaned, dragging one hand through his hair. "I can't believe we're going over this again. Now listen here. I won't be explaining myself again."I nodded, wondering why Don hadn't come himself; instead, he had sent his friend or assistant. And even though this would be the third time he's explained it to me, I just couldn't wrap my head around it."Zayne decided not to leave you here. He's taking you to Calabria for a family gathering, which outsiders do not partake in." He crossed his arms. "Now there are a few tips I'll give you so you can survive in

He had a fiery expression, and I was beginning to fear he was going to whisk me out of Zayne's hand."Zayne "I fucking asked a question here!""Milo," their mother held his shoulder, "There has to be a reason."It was taking a whole lot of strength not to make a run for the car I had just left, locking myself up in the booth and staying there until the celebration was over.The woman, who surprisingly was successful in calming Milo down, turned to face Zayne, who seemed to be staring at his brother in amusement like he wasn't just about to be jumped on."Zayne, you knew Nico was going to be in the manor; why did you bring her?"
