"Nic..." she sobs over the somewhat static line.

"Sweetheart..." I breathe out as my voice breaks a little with a softness unfamiliar to me since she's been gone.

"Nic..." her voice cracks with sobs, "...how could you? I thought... I thought you loved me and wanted..." She cuts herself off with quiet sobs filling the silence as the few pieces of my heart that her absence left behind break further.

"Ari baby, please... tell me what you're talking about. Where are you? I need to get you," I plead with desperation as my heart beats wildly in my chest. Her end becomes silent again until I hear the saddest scoff, she's ever made from those sweet pouty lips of hers.

"I know Dominic," she quietly croaked.

"But l'm already hurt." I breathed down his neck. My cheeks touching his. He sighed down my neck as I continued feeling his soft skin with my face. My eyes closed, feeling his hands grip my frame. My lips trembled with fear and tears streamed down my cheeks "When it comes to fighting me, you never give up, you find more strength than you think you have. And I really .... He kisses down my neck and lightly bites my earlobe ......really enjoy breaking down your little attempts for salvation. And I'm going to break every single thing inside of you until I please. I'm not done robbing you of your innocence. You're mine." As he slowly spoke into my ear, blood rushed from the top to the bottom of my body. My heart ached and my chest ached.

I dreamed of him again last night. He came to me in his riveting form, dressed in the liturgical signature black attire. His dark hair slicked back, accentuating the alluring frame of his chiseled jaw, with the figure of a sculpted deity, just as I'd remembered him. His invigorating smile was seducing me, taunting me, reigniting the sparks that had been scuffled by the lingering absence of his affinity. His daunting eyes consumed me, staring, burning with the intensity of a thousand flames. His beguiling features were enticing, drawing me in, and I was falling deeper, further into his arms until he was drifting and faded away in the shadows. Mornings after were imbued with feverish yearning that waned throughout the day, leaving me to a dreadful emptiness, a void that failed to dissipate during the two years apart. It had been the longest winter without him. All Adriana wanted was to be free. But it came with a cost, one that she hadn't expected to so deeply regret. The very life that she had once tremendously despised was now what she craved the most. But things are different after being away, for she is no longer the helpless, vulnerable girl taken nearly two years ago by the man who now holds her heart on a thread. The man who made a promise. A promise that he couldn't keep. She remembers everything from the moment she was rescued from the claws of one evil to the nightmarish events that transpired in the hands of another. As her dark past collides with the present and her love for the ruthless Mob Boss is put to a test, Adriana has to confront the demons that were responsible for her ruin and make an irreversible decision that will seal her ultimate fate. This is the second book to Il Paradosso Mafia Series. #1 omerta #2 crimefiction
