Chapter 2

Algo me dice en italiano, pero yo no le entiendo y le explico que solo hablo en inglés y español. Uno de sus hombres hace de traductor todo el tiempo, me exigen que le entregue al bebé que tengo en mis brazos y que les explique qué hago yo con él, sin previo aviso el hombre se acerca a mí y trata de arrebatarme al pequeño de mis brazos, pero yo me aferro a él como si mi vida dependiera de ello.

—Por favor, no le haga daño. ¡Él es inocente! —le pido mientras más lágrimas brotan de mis ojos. Entonces su hombre le traduce lo que le he dicho y me responde.

—Dice mi jefe que por favor nos entregue al bebé; él es el padre del pequeño y hemos estado buscándolo desde que nos enteramos del accidente —me sorprende que diga esto, pero aun así no puedo fiarme de su palabra.

—¿Cómo puedo saber si no me está mintiendo? No puedo entregárselo hasta que me demuestre que él es su padre —después de hablar con su jefe y este gritar exasperado, me jala del brazo y, me muestra una foto en su móvil del pequeño y en efecto, puedo notar que es él mismo bebé que tengo en mis brazos y se ve bastante feliz en los brazos de su padre.

—Está bien, se los entregaré —jalo mi brazo y por fin este hombre me suelta, pero me ha agarrado tan fuerte que estoy segura de que mañana tendré un moretón donde me estuvo apretando, levanto un poco la chamarra y estoy a punto de entregárselo cuando me doy cuenta de que el pequeño tiene su mano enganchada tan fuerte en mi suéter que me es imposible abrir su manita, ahora puedo ver que se parece al cavernícola de su padre—. Por favor, señor, ¿puede extender uno de sus dedos? —cuando le informan lo que acabo de pedir, me mira con mala cara e ignora lo que acabo de decir.

»Vamos que no le voy a morder el dedo, es solo para que el pequeño pueda tomar su dedo y dejé mi suéter —digo exasperada por la actitud de este hombre, termino de decirle eso y acto seguido extiende su mano, la tomo y poco a poco acerco su enorme dedo a la manita del bebé que duerme plácidamente en mis brazos, después de un rato toma el dedo de su padre y me suelta, ya cuando lo tiene en sus brazos me mira con ojos como platos y algo les grita a sus hombres, sigo la dirección de su mirada y me doy cuenta de que mira mi suéter beige manchado de sangre.

—El bebé no está herido; es la sangre de su madre. Ya lo revisé y él está bien. Será mejor que no lo destape, ya que está dormido y hace mucho frío en este momento. Puede provocarle un resfriado —se lo explico para que deje de alarmar a sus hombres.

Mientras tanto, saco mi suéter por la cabeza —debido a que no deseo andar por las calles con una mancha de sangre, eso sería aterrador— y al momento me arrepiento, porque solo traigo una blusa muy fina y ajustada, tomo el suéter y lo tiro a un bote de basura que se encuentra cerca, en todo momento sus hombres y él no me quitan la vista de encima, temiendo que traiga una bomba debajo del suéter, tomo de mi mochila una cuellera y la pongo sobre mi cuerpo para cubrirme un poco del aire helado.

I threw a latte on the most dangerous man in New York and lived to tell about it. Dante Vitiello. The Capo dei Capi. A man rumored to cut out tongues for interrupting his dinner. Instead of a bullet to the brain, he handed me a black card and a terrifying ultimatum. "I need a fiancée," he told me, his eyes dead cold. To save my failing journalism career and my life, I signed a contract with the devil. I had to wear his massive diamond ring, smile for the cameras, and pretend to be the love of his life to stop a political mafia marriage. The rules were clear: Absolute obedience. Total exclusivity. And absolutely no feelings. But the performance started to feel dangerous. When a rival Don insulted me at a gala, Dante didn't just play the part—he threatened to butcher him in front of three hundred people. When I saw the jagged scars on his chest in the dead of night, I didn't see a monster; I saw a lonely protector. My investigation was supposed to expose him, but I was the one getting stripped bare. Then his cousin Rocco stormed in, calling me a disposable whore and a temporary pawn. I stood my ground, defending not just myself, but Dante too. Dante looked at me then, not as an asset, but as a woman he wanted to devour. He stepped closer, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through my bones. "I think we are going to have a problem with the clause about 'no feelings'."
