As
Capo of the Camorra he rules with a brutal hand over his territory – a
territory the Chicago Outfit breached.
Now
Remo is out for retribution.
A wedding is sacred, stealing a bride
sacrilegious.
Serafina
is the niece of the Boss of the Outfit, and her hand has been promised in
marriage for years, but kidnapped in her wedding dress on her way to church by
Remo, Serafina quickly realizes that she can’t hope for saving. Yet, even in
the hands of the cruelest man she knows, she is determined to cling to her
pride, and Remo soon understands that the woman at his mercy might not be as
easy to break as he thought.
A
ruthless man on a quest to destroy the Outfit by breaking someone they are
supposed to protect.
A woman intent on bringing a monster to
his knees.
Before he left the room, he glanced over his shoulder
at me. “Don’t try to run, angel. There are more men like Simeone
waiting to get their hands on you. I’d hate having so send them after you and
hurt you.”
As if anyone could hurt me worse than Remo would.
I forced a smile. “We both know you’re lying. You
won’t let anyone hurt me.”
Remo cocked one dark eyebrow. “I won’t?”
“You won’t because you want to be the one to break me,
to make me scream.”
Remo’s mouth pulled into a smile that raised the
little hairs on my skin.
A smile that would haunt me forever.
“Oh, I will make you scream, angel. That I
swear.”
Suppressing a shudder, I dug my nails into my palms,
forcing out more words from my tight throat. “Don’t waste your time. Kill me
now.”
“We all have to let part of ourselves die to rise up
stronger. Now sleep tight. I’ll return later for a proper video message for
your family.”
“Why did you even save me from Simeone? Why not let
him start the torture you have in mind for me? Why bring me here to your
mansion?”
Remo regarded me as if he too was wondering the same
thing, and his silence told me that my guess had been right; this was indeed
the Falcone mansion. It surprised me that he would risk bringing me into his
family’s home.
“Like you said I will be the one to make you scream
and no one else,” he said eventually before he shut the door.
I closed my eyes, and pulled the covers tighter around
myself.
A power play. A twisted game of chess.
I wasn’t going to be a pawn or a queen, and Remo
wouldn’t be the king.
