Please don't say you're his wife. Please don't say you're his wife. Please don't say you're his wife.
"Meet Lucia, my wife," Colombo grabs the girl and aggressively pulls him closer. "Lucia, this is Zara, Alejandro's fiancée."
Ah, shit.
"Nice to meet you, Zara," her voice is soft and almost... broken.
"Nice to meet you too, Lucia," my throat tightens staring at the poor girl. I know for a fact she's younger than I'd like her to be.
Maybe I'm overthinking, maybe she just looks younger than she actually is and she's actually treated very wellâ€"
My eyes rest on her arm, where I can see a fresh, purple bruise marking her skin. She notices me staring and quickly pulls her sleeve down further.
"Isn't she just perfect? Every man's dream is in my arms and in my bed," Colombo's disrespectful remarks make my skin crawl.
"Yes, she's perfect for you," Mr. Bonanno comments. "Just the right amount of ripeness."
