“Oh, wow,” I breathe.
“You see it too? You and Rico were destined to be together. Promise me you won’t let the past get in the way.”
“I won’t. Do you mind if I give you a hug?”
“Oh, of course. I wanted to pull you into my arms from the time I saw you.”
I laugh and lean in to pull her into my embrace. She smells nice. Giving me a tight squeeze, she then kisses my cheek.
“Now to get your mother to calm down enough for us to plan a wedding. You’re going to make such a beautiful bride.”
“Good luck with that.”
“You leave Brenda to me,” she says with a warm smile.
CHAPTER 35
Time to Relax
Oni
“She’s here.”
I nod as the words come over the comm in my ear. I’ve been waiting for this day. This outlet will help me to deal with all the current stress in my life.
“We’re ready,” Rico replies.
Emilio and my mother have come to an agreement of sorts. The two can be in a room without breaking into an argument, at least—that’s been an improvement. I think my mother finally understands I’m getting married to Rico no matter what.
However, I haven’t had time to go back and forth with her over that. I have more important things to handle. Like an entitled Mafia princess who thought it wise to fuck with me and my man.
When Emilio gave the green light to take out Abato and his bitch daughter Juliana, I was happy to accept the job. Rico wanted to play it quick and easy. Get it over with and be done.
Me, not so much. I’ve spent the last two months making her life hell. I’ve fucked with Juliana in ways that make me question my own sanity.
Rico can only laugh and call me petty. I have this bitch so paranoid she sleeps with her eyes open. I’ve broken into her car and moved it from where she parked it so many times, I know she’s on the verge of committing herself.
First, I would only move it out of the driveway onto the street. Then I started to change her rows at the mall or her spot on the street. When she set up the cams at her place and in the car, I switched it up.
For two weeks straight, I had nails placed at the base of her driveway. Every single day, she ended up with a flat. That bitch has had so many flats, even if she has tire insurance, I’m sure they didn’t cover all those incidents.
With those five-hundred-dollar tires, I’m fucking with her pockets too. Pockets that have been light because while I fuck with her, Rico and Emilio have effectively fucked with her father’s business.
Daddy doesn’t have it to spoil her ass anymore. Abato is running out of moves. He’s going to need to cut loose some dead weight. Juliana or the Sullivans are at the top of my wish list.
“Thank you so much, Anton. You have no idea how much I needed this,” Juliana’s annoying voice fills the suite Rico and I are waiting in.
Why, after three years, haven’t I let this go? She tried to have me raped. I took my first body because of her stupid ass. She had Rico and his family ambushed, then I was shot.
I’d say what I’m about to do to her isn’t good enough. I wanted to drag this out for at least four more months. If Rico hadn’t said enough, I would have.
“You’re welcome. Everything is on me. Make yourself comfortable and relax. You don’t have to worry about a thing while you’re here.”
“I’m so exhausted. When I get my life back on track, I owe you one. Please don’t tell anyone about all of this. It’s so embarrassing.”
“Shit happens. You’ll bounce back. Your pop will figure his shit out. Besides, it’s nobody’s business. Your secret is safe with me.”
I have to stifle my laughter. Rico’s buddy is laying it on thick. He doesn’t give a shit about her. He’s doing us a favor by getting her here to one of Emilio’s hotels.
“I’m so glad you reached out when you did. I thought I was losing my mind. No one would listen to me.
“You’re such a lifesaver. You have to let me pay you back somehow. I mean, in any way I can,” Juliana purrs.
I roll my eyes as the sound of her and Anton making out reaches my ears. I guess he better get it while it’s hot, she’s about to be a cold, dead bitch. I just hope they don’t take this too far while we’re waiting.
“Listen, I need to go. You’ll find a little something-something in the room waiting for you,” Anton says.
Relief washes over me when the sound of the heavy door of the suite clicks shut. A few moments go by, and Juliana makes a call. This bitch makes my butt itch.
