ALMA
As I stared at the woman before us, all I could feel for her was pity. There were many overzealous detectives like her that had disappeared in the course of trying to convict Mafia bosses. Whenever they were getting close to finding answers, they just disappeared and were never to be found.
And I feared the woman right here would suffer the same fate.
“Good luck, detective,” was all Lazzaro said before winding up the glass.
“Move,” he told the driver since the policeman had already cleared him.
When we got to the manor’s garage and the driver parked the car, I made to open the door, but he placed his hand over mine, stopping me immediately.
I flicked my gaze at him, but before I said anything, he groaned.
“James, leave us.”
“Yes, boss,” James quickly said before jumping out of the car.
I swallowed against my throat, my breath hitching as I stared at him.
“Don’t ever try such with me again,” he groaned, his eyes dark as they bore into mine.
I swallowed again and nodded. “Okay.”
Suddenly, he leaned even closer, and I could feel his hot breath on my neck as he sniffed. My body heated up at this close proximity, desire gushing through my blood.
Before I could stop myself, my hands were already wrapped around his neck while I breathed heavily.
Damn, I hated that I wanted this man.
His warm lips met my neck, sending a jolt of electricity through my body. A moan escaped my lips before I could even stop it, and I pushed my body into his.
“f**k!” he suddenly groaned and pulled away from me. He had a feral look in his eyes before suddenly jumping out of the car.
My chest heaved up and down as I tried to process what had just happened. He aroused me, only to leave me hanging. f**k, why was I even aroused by this devil?
After collecting myself, I finally got down from the car and found my way into the manor. As I walked through the corridor, trying to locate the room which was now mine, the girl that challenged me the last time concerned me. What was her name? Tania?
Ignoring her, I tried to sidestep her, but she grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
“Come back here!” she spat.
“I have had a very long day. Please, I do not have time for this,” I gritted in annoyance as I made to move away. But...
“I also do not have your time,” she groaned, grabbing a fistful of my hair.
“You b***h!” I snapped and pulled her arm closer to my mouth, biting it hard until she released her grip on my hair. Then I angrily pushed her until her butt collided with the floor.
Without uttering another word, I turned around to walk away, only to freeze when I saw Lazzaro standing a few feet away. He had a hard frown on his face.
“What did I do to you?” Tania suddenly screeched from behind.
I turned around to see her crying, tears pouring freely down her face.
My eyes narrowed. What?
“I only wanted to offer my condolences, but you got jealous because...”
“You liar!” I groaned.
She flicked her gaze at Lazzaro, who was already walking towards us. “She bit me and pushed me down,” she lifted her arm to show him the bite mark.
I turned around to look at him, hoping he wouldn’t believe her stinking lies.
“It’s a lie. She pulled my hair, that was why I...” I trailed off when he walked past me without even sparing me a glance.
The dark and cold look on his face gave me an answer.
He believed her over me.
My heart twisted in my chest at his reaction. God, I hated that he made me feel this way.
I watched as he offered his hand, and after she took it, he pulled her up.
“Meet me in my room,” he told her before walking away from her.
A mocking smile curled on Tania’s lips before promptly following him. I froze in place, feeling betrayed. He was getting married to me. Was he not supposed to support and protect me?
But here he was, choosing his mistress over me.
My heart rate accelerated as unwanted emotions consumed my entire being—rage, jealousy, and the feeling of betrayal.
He had zero respect for me. He insisted on bringing me back here only to cheat on me before my eyes. With no shame whatsoever. He should have just f*****g left me with my family, and I wouldn’t have known about his cheating escapades.
He disgusted me.

LAZZARO
It took every self-control within me to stop myself from taking that woman in the car. She was f*****g sexy and tempting.
I couldn’t get my mind off her, the only thing my mind was screaming was to turn around and go back to her. Her moans wouldn’t stop ringing in my ear. I’d give anything to hear that again. The way her arms wrapped around my neck, urging me to continue, made me almost lose control of myself.
Why did I f*****g stop? I wanted her. I wanted my hands on every inch of her body.
Fuck it. Before I could stop myself, I was already turning around and moving in long strides to meet up with her. I stopped in my tracks when I saw Tania on the floor, her eyes raging like a tigress. Then my eyes shifted to Alma, and I noticed how disheveled her hair was.
I knew instantly that that was Tania’s doing, and she had provoked Alma into shoving her to the floor. Alma might be my revenge tool, but she was not to be messed with. I had to warn Tania about this.
Walking straight to her, I offered her my hand, and she took it.
“Meet me in my room,” I told her before walking away from her.
On my way, Mario suddenly approached me, worries edged in his features.
“Don, there’s a problem,” he said tensely.
