to the Don’s side.
    He placed an arm around her and
pulled her to his bare chest. “You take orders from me ONLY, not some puttana . Capito ?”
    “ S ì , I understand, mi dispiace ,” the soldier apologized.
    The Don’s angry gaze moved to Camila.
“You overstepped your boundaries, so get the fuck out of here
before I change my mind about our engagement.”
    “ But, Frano, she’s playing you. I was
informed she’s only known you for a week, yet she’s claiming to
care for you.”
    “ It’s been much longer than
that,” Rita spoke up. “I first met Frano seven years ago.”
    “ What?” Camila said, lowering her hand, her
expression surprised. Blood dripped from her nose, reddening her
lips.
    “ My birth name is Sophia
Salvi.”
    Camila wiped the blood with her
hand. “That
girl is dead, my uncles…” she stopped talking.
    “ Your uncles, what?” Frano
said.
    “ We’ve all heard the rumor about
the Padre ,” she replied, looking worried.
    “ That he killed her? S ì ,
but it doesn’t make sense, because Rita claims she was raped by
him.”
    “ I told you she was a liar.
There’s no way my uncle would’ve raped her; women repulse
him.”
    “ Which is why I’m assuming
Christo did it. They looked identical back then, and you mentioned
uncles, not uncle earlier. Do you know anything about what happened
to her? Because I’m starting to wonder whether they both played a
part in her attack.”
    “ I ’ve only heard the rumors.”
    “ Are you sure?” he said, looking
like he didn’t believe her.
    “ Absolutely. I avoid those two
at all cost. They’re both psychotic. I really don’t know which one
of them is
the lesser of two evils . One likes to rape males while the other takes
pleasure in slaughtering and torturing his victims. They should’ve
been dealt with a long time ago.”
    “ Fine, I believe you, but you
still need to get the fuck out of my room. Go sort out your
sisters’ release.”
    “ But, Frano, you need to do
that.”
    “ Not if you want to be my
wife . I
don’t want a woman who claims to be useful, then comes running to
me, insisting I hold her hand. Otherwise, our arrangement will be
pointless.”
    “ I am quite capable of doing
things on my own; the problem is the Santini are prejudiced against
my famiglia . I already told you how rude Alessandro was to
me.”
    “ Everyone is prejudiced against
your famiglia , and for valid reasons. They terrorized this island for far
too long. So, find a means that will make the Santini listen. Also,
update me with your progress.”
    She exhaled loudly. “Okay, but what can I
barter with?”
    “ Ten puttane , no more.” His gaze shifted to Camila’s
soldier. “Make sure Alessandro understands this trade is sanctioned
by me, but if my fiancée compromises my famiglia , cut the negotiations
short.”
    He nodded.
    “ Now, everyone, except for Rita,
is dismissed.”
    The soldiers directed me and Camila out of
the room. “I’ll take up guard outside his window,” my soldier said
before heading off. Camila’s soldier indicated for us to move
forward, while the third one remained behind to guard the Don’s
door.
    I walked alongside Camila,
whose back was ramrod straight. As we headed down the staircase,
she started mumbling about evil FBI agents, then stopped at the
bottom step, her gaze freezing me in place. “I need you to help me
get my sisters back. That Santini asshole downstairs obviously
thinks I’m a joke, but he seems to have taken an interest in
you . So, I
will speak to him through you.”
    My face fell. “I can’t go near
him; you saw what he did to me.”
    “ You will have protection this
time.” She focused on the soldier. “Instead of me, you will be
protecting Honey during the negotiations.”
    “ I will get you another
soldier to
do that as I cannot leave your side,” the man said without
expression.
    “ Fine.” She shifted her focus
back to me. “Now, you heard what Frano said. You are to
