AlessandroBeing the heir of the Don of the Valentino Crime Family comes with its perks.Money, power, everything I've ever wanted I've gotten.And the girl who's currently chugging down a beer from a red solo cup isn't going to be any different.I want her. Which means she's already mine. Her fate has been decided.Her eyes hold a sadness I want to drown in. And I have an even stronger need to find out what caused that look on her face, so I can be the one to erase it completely.CassidyI'm okay. I'm fine. I'm good.All words I keep repeating to anyone who asks how I'm doing. How I'm coping.All lies.The truth is I'm not okay. I'm not fine and I don't think I'll ever be "good" again.The only thing I feel other than grief right now is the buzz from the alcohol I continue to force down my throat.But I know that's going to fade too. And all that will be left is the big black hole of despair that has me in a chokehold.Nothing can make me feel anything anymore. Not even those dark eyes glaring at me from across the room.
