Chapter 164
Karolos started laughing, a deep resounding sound which, she couldn’t lie, sounded sexy as fuck. She gave him a grin, “you find this funny
“Where did Lozano find you?”
“Internet, I auctioned off my virginity and he bought it for
a
cool mill.”
“No shit.” He nodded, “you love him?”
“Not yet. We’re working on it. It’s only been a couple weeks since we’ve been back together. These things take time. We’re both far too practical to say things we don’t mean.”
“I respect that. So, you aren’t really looking for a way to escape his nefarious clutches?”
“No.”
“You should have told me this,” he turned his head to Mercurio.
“If I’d known, maybe I would have. She refused to talk to us, so we were going on our observations.”
“I don’t talk to them Mr. Pavlidis because they stood by while my father beat me and disowned me, all five of them. I owe them nothing. My husband agreed to help them with business matters and the way they repaid him was to force me at gunpoint. You messaged me the other night, Mercurio, and I told you point blank I wasn’t interested in seeing you. I don’t think you grasp the seriousness. You all hurt me. You all abandoned me. Whether you say it was for my own good or otherwise, you broke my heart and threw me on the streets pregnant and relied on other families to take care of me. I don’t owe you anything. least of all familial loyalty.”
“Alcee,” Tito’s voice called from behind her, “come here.”
She looked over her shoulder and noted he had a firearm pointed right at Mercurio. All the men in the room responded by pulling their own weapons and she found it curious how Karolos waved his own men to put their weapons down.
She started to walk towards Tito and Mercurio hissed at her..
Tito cocked his head, “dude, I don’t see a problem shooting you in the head to protect my Donna and unlike you who learned to shoot from your father who couldn’t aim his piss into a toilet, I’m an expert marksman. Fucking try me. Alcee, Donna, come here.”
“Gladly,” she walked up to him and grabbed his arm. “Got an extra gun? I can’t shoot either but I’m willing to let bullets fly all over the place.”
He laughed and pushed her behind him. “You ready to go home?“,
“No. I need to go back to work.”
“We have things to discuss, Alcee. You have an inheritance from Dad.”
“His debt? I’m not part of it. You do what you want with it.” She nodded at Karolos, “it was alliance with anyone but the father of my son.”

“Alcee,” her mother called out worriedly, “please, just stay and talk.”
“You brought a stranger, Mom.” She waved to the man sitting at the same table her mother was sat next to, “and you want to have a family conversation?”
“They are selling their family to me.” Karolos spoke up.
“Interesting. I don’t give a fuck,”
“You curse a lot.”
“Not as a rule, no, but the Mariani family seems to bring the worst out in me.”

Tito scoff,
“Did you not hear me say she is the Donna? You heard bits and pieces of what happened at dinner the other night, Mercurio, but what you all failed to hear is how Torq made it truly clear to everyone there, she is his wife and her decisions overrule his.

“Interesting.”
“She is the only one he trusts in his bed, Mr. Pavlidis,” Tito said respectfully, “even I don’t get such a level of trust from the Don.” He lifted his phone to his ear, “boss, I got her. We’re going to be coming back with an escort. It seems Mr. Pavlidis was misinformed about Alcee’s state, and he would very much like to make an apology in person. He will provide our transport back to the offices.”
“Fuck, I’m halfway there,” Torq grunted. “I’ll turn back but if he’s not mother looks lovely in her pretty blue sunhat.”

“I understand, Mr. Lozano. We will see you shortly.”
Alcee noted the look he shot her brother was withering and Mercurio covered his mouth nervously.
“Mr. Pavlidis,” Mercurio started but Lefteris Pavlidis, the quiet man who’d been standing behind his brother walked up to him and punched him hard in the stomach and made him double over.
“You fucking idiot, you’ve just pissed off the Don of the Lozano family and my brother all in one go. I would suggest you begin figuring out how you’re going to make it up to our family, to the Donna of the Lozano family and to her husband. I’m starting to understand why your family is a failure.”
Alcee shot a kiss over her shoulder at her brother, “bye!” as she was escorted out of the deli.
