Romeo
This is supposed to be an easy job. Get in, get information, get out.
But how long is it going to take these bloodhounds wearing expensive suits and painted-on smiles to sniff out the truth?
I’m not one of them.
Don’t belong in their den of depravity.
The enemy.
Long enough to make it through the night? Probably not. If that’s the case, putting my life on the line better be worth it.
I’m not walking out of here without something to show for it. Not for the Don, either. Something for me.
It might be her. The radiant beauty across the room with golden locks cascading...

It might be her. The radiant beauty across the room with golden locks cascading down her shoulders and an innocent smile that stretches out for miles.
Jess Mayfair. My last pillar of light in this nightmarish pit.
Who am I kidding? It is her. Jess Mayfair. The daughter of the man I’m spying on.

I wouldn’t guess it by the way he walks, talks, and acts. Fearless, vicious, and intense.
He’s a monster of ridiculous, exquisite proportions.
It’s hard to believe he’s human. That his skin can break, and his veins pump the same red goo as the rest of us.
So, I won’t.
Romeo Valesca will never be a man to me.
He will forever be my Beast of Burden. Carrying the weight of this world on his gigantic shoulders and making it burn with a snap of his fingers.
And God help the way I ache for him.
