21 " Great,” I say. “But who’s going to protect me from my betrothed? That girl is a wild animal. Can you imagine her as a politician’s wife? I doubt she even knows how to walk in heels.” “Then you’ll teach her,” my mother says. “I don’t know how to walk in heels, either,” I say sarcastically. “How exactly am I supposed to teach her to be a lady, mother? "

22 " When he has a temper. When he’s angry. When he wants to kill somebody. That’s when I understand him. That’s when we finally have common ground. "
23 " Riona got her law degree, mostly to prove she could, I think. "
24 " Have you ever done that before?” Another long pause, in which I think he won’t answer. Then, finally, he says, “Not like that. "
25 " I’m glad he made sure she was comfy before he tried to burn her alive. "
26 " You like that?” he growls, his voice lower and rougher than ever. "
27 " Capisco. Si. Sarò lì presto.” She hangs up the call, turning to face me. "
28 " You’re going to marry Callum Griffin in two weeks,” Papa says. "
29 " Actually . . .” I say slowly. “I do. I do love him. "
30 " The great Callum Griffin. He’s their JFK, and I’m supposed to be their Jackie Kennedy. I’d rather be Lee Harvey Oswald. "
31 " I love you, Aida,” I say. "
32 " Our relationship has proceeded in such a funny, backward way. Marriage first. Then sex. Then getting to know each other. And finally...whatever it is. A feeling of warmth and desire and affection and connection spreads through my chest, a feeling that burns and grows stronger by the moment, especially when I glance over at the man sitting next to me.I can't believe it.I think I'm falling in love. "
33 " His season is ruined. Possibly the rest of his career. God, he might not even walk right after this.And it’s all my fault.The guilt is like a shroud, wrapping around and around and around my head.Each glance at Sebastian, each memory of my idiocy, is like another layer wrapping around my face. Soon it will smother me. "
34 " And I'll use what I learn to destroy him. "
35 " The truth is, I do feel abandoned. "
36 " Aida's watching me with her cool gray eyes. I don't like this new quiet Aida. It makes me nervous, wondering what she's up to. I like it better when she blurts out whatever she's thinking as soon as it comes to her head. Even if it really pisses me off in the moment. "
37 " When he has a temper. When he's angry. When he want to kill somebody. That's when I understand him. That's when we finally have a common ground. "
38 " That's what I admire about her. She's wild and sh's fierce. "
39 " Isn't that the same with her ? She loves passion of any kind. She loves to be angry, stubborn, joyful, or mischievous. The only thing she doesn't like is a lack of feeling. Unfortunately, that's what I am. Cold. Restrained. Lacking in pleasure. Until I'm around her. "
40 " I want to stay on her side forever. "
