“But you’re still visiting places I’ve onlyheardabout… and I’ve lived here my entire life.”

I felt a little guilty.

As restricted as my life was, it was a hell of a lot freer than hers.

And…

If I’m going to be honest…

I felt guilty that I was supposed to be marrying her in less than two weeks.

And while she was here, trapped in a prison…

I was free, out there having sex with Cat.

I didn’twantto marry Isabella…

But I definitely felt sorry for her.

I promised myself that when I had the opportunity, I would make sure she got to experience the outside world she so badly wanted to see.

Dinner was uneventful.

The only thing Don Vicari said to me the whole time was, “You learning a lot from Rocco?”

“Yeah,” I said. “Yeah, definitely.”

Mostly what a stupid prick he is.

But I kept that part to myself.

Ithought about Cat all evening.

She was the last thing on my mind when I fell asleep –

And the first thing I thought about when I woke up.

With morning wood, I might add.

I didn’t do anything about it, though.

I was planning on saving all my energy for her.

I took the ten grand Cat had given me, stuffed it in my pocket, and went down to breakfast.

Paolo didn’t show up until I was finished.

When he did, he looked pissed off.

Too bad.

“Where’re we going today?” I asked.

“Ragusa,” he said grumpily.

“How far away is that?”
