I’ve gone back: back to the place where it all started, where somebody else had the final say. I did it out of love for my family. I’m trying to rebuild my life, to stay standing, even though my legs hurt like hell. I’m concentrating on myself, on my career. I’m ready to tear everything apart to try and keep it all together. To hate without feeling guilty for it, because hating others is the only way I know how to keep myself — the person I am — going; and I was doing it. I was strong. I was untouchable. I was invincible. Actually, I was deluded. I didn’t consider everything.

I ruthlessly forced her into marriage, and what’s mine…I keep. As the brutal head of a powerful Irish mafia family, I cannot afford to show any sign of weakness, especially not love.

But with each clash against her family, my hold on her is tested. And with every hesitant glance, every traitorous whisper, every stolen kiss…I question her loyalty.

A year ago, she begged me to stay. A year later, it’s my turn to beg her not to go. My obsession. My downfall. I tried to resist, to keep her at a distance. I tried to save myself.

Until that night, the night I made the worst decision of my life. And I’m still paying the price for it. We both are. But the time has come to take back control of the situation, to risk it all, to convince her to let me in, because she can’t be anything other than mine.
