PROLOGUE
Jessica pov
Dante has my heart, he soothed my soul and brought me peace.
He reminded my soul that I am a good person.
One not full of hate and jealousy.
One who enjoyed the beautiful world we lived in.
I appreciated it.
I loved simple pleasures, was fully content, and never really bored.
Antonio has my soul, he brought out the willful enraged side of me.
Nothing could save you if you fucked around with me and I came back for you.
In one moment of breath, I could take you out.
That was all it took.
People who liked to fuck with my head deserved to die.
All three of us swirled and surrounded each other protectively and provocatively.
I was lucky to be the center of gravity.
Who knew I would've been lucky to be that loved by two people?
Rocco Balzano pov
My sons were lucky,
I began keeping an eye on Lorenzo.
I followed him and had him watch like a hawk.
I wasn't going to let this bastard child ruin the one good thing my other two boys had going for them.
That woman of theirs was worth more than words could ever say.
She is Dante's beautiful little dove.
But with a fearsome soul of the Phoenix.
Antonio's Phoenix.
Her heart and soul captured so beautifully both my boys.
A true queen to our empire.
Wished she had come along sooner but beyond grateful she is with us now.
God loves my wife, she would've been accepting but she would've been terrified and jealous of her.
Yet totally loved her at the same time
Hell, I certainly did.
Dante pov
Do you know why I was in love with this woman so much?
Because she was absolutely convinced by what she saw :
I was a God.
The walking sculpted sculpture of Adonis
Had the endurance of a trojan horse.
A mortal with all the things that dreams, myths, fairytales, and legends were made of.
A formidable gangster.
One with control and intelligence far superior to the original gangsters.
She had the most eloquent timeless way of saying it.
She made me huff with pride.
She pumped and stroked my ego to the point I was seeing stars.
She electrified, tingled, and sent shivering sensations every time we touched.
I am completely intoxicated by her.
Antonio pov
She learned.
She accepted.
She wanted me
She became compelled.
She started to drive.
We became dangerously entangled.
We were passionate and dangerous with each other.
Our arguments were unbelievably psychotic.
We loved every minute of it.
Everyone became even more terrified of me.
Everyone became terrified of her.
Everyone became irrevocably petrified witnessing us together.
She found a spot amongst my men with tactical training and leadership.
She is our wife you never saw coming.
