“Everything in this document is designed to guide you.” Grandfather runs a finger over the top of the page. “I assure you this is all coming from a place of love.”
I don’t know how he thinks that makes sense. It doesn’t. This is an assertion of his dominance over me. A big fuck you to everything the guys and I have done and a reminder of how things work—his way or no way.
“That’s it? There’s no compromise?” My eyes lock with his.
“No. There is none.”
Which means if I don’t think of a way to get what I want, I’m fucked.
There’s no way I’m going to lose everything to Lorenzo.
So I have to find an Evelina.
A woman who will firstly marry me and second, stay married to me for three years.
Fuck.
