Waiting for my Queen — Georgia Cates

Emilia --
All I've ever wanted was to marry for love.
But girls like me don't have that luxury.
We are used as pawns in a game we can't control.
The game? It's called Mafia.
I was foolish enough to try to change the rules… and I lost.

Luca --
She was promised to me years ago.
And he dared to take her from me.
Dared to touch what was mine.
I put an end to that.
I hope he's enjoying the view from his dirt room.

Emilia --
My beloved's killer placed a ruby ring on my finger and called me his queen.
But that red gem symbolizes something different for me.
It represents the blood shed by those I love most.
Hell was empty the day we wed.
Because the devil was standing before me and said “I do.”

Luca --
I saw her as a possession.
A shiny toy I didn't want other boys to play with.
But she's so much more.
Beautiful and brave and strong and broken all at once.
She tastes like everything I've ever wanted.

Emilia --
Hidden and patient.
I wait for the perfect time to seek my revenge.
But slowly, I feel him possessing me.
His heart is full of darkness… and I still want every inch of him.
Hard as I try, I can't escape loving this beautiful monster.

Luca --
I'm waiting patiently because I already know that she's mine.
Mine in a way that no one will ever understand.
Even if she hasn't yet realized it.
For love, I'd do anything.
For her, I'd do everything.
