I have no other choice if I want to keep the Tuscan Rose, but it’s a heavy price to pay. Hades is a spiteful man, and I know making me his wife is his form of revenge. When he asked me to marry him before, I said no—and he’s never accepted that answer. He wants to make me his—and remind me of his ownership every single day.

I know what his endgame is—to make me fall in love with him. He wants me wrapped around his finger. Pinned under his thumb. Wants me to melt every time he calls me sweetheart. He’s determined to make me feel the way he did before I broke his heart.

But I watched my father destroy my mother with his affairs. She says she doesn’t care, but she has no other choice but not to care. I’m used to seeing men with their mistresses at the Tuscan Rose, used to seeing my father’s associates out at restaurants with women that aren’t their wives. I refuse to give any man my heart…and watch him break it. But then he tells me what I want to hear. “I finally have the woman I want. You think someone else could ever turn my head? I’m sorry that your father betrayed your mother, but when I promised you my fidelity, I meant it. I’m your husband—now trust me.”

“How can I trust you when you only married me to hurt me?”

He stares with that powerful intensity, dark eyes boring into mine with ruthless ownership. Then there’s a glimmer of softness, so slight it was nearly impossible to see. “That’s not the only reason.”
