My father was late.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise—it was yet another way for him to try to assert his power in every situation by subtly disrespecting Matteo, even though he needed this alliance just as much as my husband did.

Angelo, Romeo, and Domenico were stationed around the restaurant, and even more men were in the back and surrounding the perimeter. The worst the Pakhan could do was humiliate me, but I trusted my husband to not pay attention to whatever vitriol my father spouted about me.

I fidgeted with my new diamond bracelet. Matching earrings swung lightly against my skin. They were beautiful, but my favorite was still the delicate locket Matteo had given me. It was warm as it rested against my neck. The jewels were armor against the Bratva women I knew would be in attendance.
