my last breath.”
He grins. “Challenge accepted.”
“I assume you’ll feed our guests,” I say thoughtfully. “All that cutlery just lying around.”
“You’ll stab a mafia king in front of his people.” He laughs again.
“Listen to you,” I say, shaking my head. “Your first mistake is not being humble. Donini is just a name. You earn respect and build your name. Without respect, it is still just your name.”
“Did daddy teach you that?” he asks, catching my ankle and pulling me towards him. When I’m close enough, he grabs my wrist and drags me from the bed into his arms. He turns me away from him and holds my arms by side.
“No,” I snap. I throw my head back and hear his nose crunch as my head hits it. “I’m just fucking clever.”
He releases me, shoving me back to the bed hard. “I’m going to enjoy breaking you,” he spits.
I smile. “I think I just broke a part of you.”

My father sucks in a breath and releases it slowly. “I knew Ricardo was hungry, but he’s causing too much bad blood,” he mutters.
“I love this girl. Gianna is mine and I’ll kill Ricardo before I let him take her.”
“What are you proposing?” he asks.
“Let me take my name back. Let me marry her and make her a Rossi. Our family names will be the tie that the organisation needs and I can bring you into London with the Kings on your side. No more bloodshed.”
“I don’t know if the families will accept it. Everything is set. They are happy with their decision. You’ve been away too long, Azure,” he says. I nod, placing my glass on the table. “What does it mean for us, if I get them to agree?” he adds.
“I don’t know,” I admit. “But it’s a start to us repairing the damage that was done.”
“I miss them,” he mutters.
I ball my fists. “I can’t,” I begin. “I’m not ready to talk about them. But if you loved Mum like you said, then you’ll know how I feel about Gia. I will rip the organisation apart if anything happens to her,” I say firmly.
“I’ll call you when I’ve spoken with them.”
“One more thing,” I add. “They took a cop. Alice. She’s part of my family. Part of Molly’s life. She could be useful for the organisation.”
“Where the hell were you?” yells Vinn, getting in my face the minute I step into the club.
“Ric plans to marry Gia,” I say. “You need to leave here and go somewhere safe,” I add. “He’ll kill you next.”
Riggs comes towards me. “How do you know this?”
“Call church,” I mutter, heading for the room.
Once everyone is seated, I take a breath. “I met with my father tonight. He’s high up in the organisation in Italy. He’s well respected.”
“You’re mafia?” growls Rock. Seems not everyone had worked it out like Riggs and Vinn.
“Old news,” I say. “They want you gone,” I say to Vinn. “They think you’re a risk to them taking over London and not bringing them in on it.”
“I am a risk,” he snaps. “They’ve turned against me!”
“Ric marries Gia, kills you, and takes over anyway. The Kings lose to Cobra and you lose to the firm. I’ve made an offer.”
Vinn hauls me from my seat and rams me against the wall. I wince as pain rips through my shoulder. “You made a fucking deal behind our backs?”
“There wasn’t time to discuss it. Ricardo is marrying Gia tomorrow. He’s told the families you’ll be dead by morning.”
“But as you can see, I’m still fucking alive!” yells Vinn.
“I’ve asked for my name back. I’ll become a Rossi again and marry Gia. Our families join, giving access to the organisation. We continue to work with the Kings and get rid of Cobra. It’s a win-win,” I say.
He slams me against the wall again, causing another burning pain in my shoulder. “Win-win for you, you fucking snake.”
I grab his jacket and shove him against the opposite wall. “You have no fucking idea what I’ve done tonight. What I’m going to do to save all our asses!” I yell. “I hate the mafia and everything about it and I’m going back there to save your ass and Gia’s and the Kings. So don’t tell me it’s a damn win-win situation for me. I win nothing but your sister and fuck knows if she’ll even agree.”
“He’s right,” mutters Riggs. “We have no choice.”
“We have a fucking choice,” growls Vinn. “We kill them all.”
I shake my head. “You’re grieving for your
