She separates the two cookies.
“First, you have to lick the frosting off.”
“Just give me the damn cookie.” I snatch it from her and shove it into my mouth.

Natalia is teaching me there’s more to life than being the head of the Marchetti family.
I am a father, a son, and soon, a husband.
And an Oreo fan, goddammit.

I bow my head to kiss the top of hers.
She holds an Oreo out for me.
I shake my head.
“Have you ever had an Oreo, Cristian?”
I glare at her.
“Seriously?! Were you deprived of tears and Oreos growing up? Now, I understand why you’re so damn cranky all the time.”
“I doubt the lack of Oreos affected my childhood much.”
“It definitely did.”

“Want to watch a movie with me?”
I’m quiet.
“Friday night movie night.”
Movie night? I’ve never had a movie night in my life. Not even with my children when they were younger.
“Please,” she says in a begging voice. A begging voice that nearly kills me.
“I’ll grab some snacks and popcorn. It’ll be fun.”

“What will happen after you kill him? Do we divorce?”
“Divorces don’t happen in this family.”
“Don’t you make the rules?”
“I do make the rules. But that’s not a rule I’ll break, There hasn’t been a divorce in our family in ninety years. I won’t be the man to break that streak.”
“To clarify, divorce isn’t an option once we get married?”
I nod. “Till death do we part.”

Ch24 made me feel so warm inside

“Thank God your dad jumped on top of me. I guess he does have a little humanity behind that evil exterior.” “He what?”
“He saved me.”
“What do you mean, saved you?”
“He tackled me to the ground until the shooting stopped.”
“He wasn’t supposed to do that.”
“What do you mean?”
“We shoot back at the enemy first. Then, we worry about others. It’s the Marchetti way.”
“Oh…”

He downs the whiskey before violently shaking his head, as if wanting to throw any emotions off his face.
“I shouldn’t be worried about you dying, you’re making me break my rules, Natalia. Making me do things I normally don’t.”

-THEN HE METICULOUSLY CHECKS HER BODY FOR INJURIES AND KISSES EVERY SCRATCH!!!!😩😩😩

I can sense gunshots from miles away.
But today, my guard was down.
All my thoughts were on Natalia as I watched her walk to the car.
How is one woman consuming me?
Making me cause scenes at lunches to prove no one disrespects her?

“Say something like that about my future wife again, and I’ll slit your fucking throat and watch you bleed out.”
I push the glass harder into his neck.
“I won’t leave until every ounce of your blood is gone from your lifeless body.”

Iwill end up killing this pain-in-the-ass woman before we even make it to the altar. Natalia irritates every single one of my goddamn nerves.
Hell, even nerves I never knew existed. And that’s saying a lot, coming from a man like me.
But I won’t kill her. At least, not right here.
Under us is a one-of-a-kind rug imported from Italy. Even the best dry cleaner in the world can’t clean blood from wool.
