EMILIO’S POV
Death has been following me for as long as I could remember. You would think death would claim me, but it never has.
Death has claimed everyone I’ve ever loved. It’s like I’m cursed or something.
Amina has no idea the kind of life I live, and the kind of life I have lived. She’s too pure and innocent to understand.
The first time I saw her after she started working at my casino, I was smitten. So smitten that I dug into her past, uncovering secrets she didn’t know I knew.
She lived a hard life for a young girl, but she would still never understand what it takes to be Emilio Carrillo.
My selfishness seems to get the best of me.
I told myself I would stay away from her, even if I was super drawn to her. There was no way that I was gonna drag her into this life.
