44 " God created her and then shattered the mold afterward, for the world could not handle two of her. "
45 " May we forever be rulers, may our enemies tremble at our feet, may we never forget our great love that is the family. Which we will rule with an iron fist.” “May we be ruthless and have no regrets,” she added gripping onto my back. “May we take what we want, when we want it, with the world at our feet. "
46 " I'm done doubting Melody. It's unhealthy to be proven wrong so many times. "
47 " May God have mercy on all our souls when Mel finds out. "
48 " If I do my job, you will be, too.” He smirked. “So just stop fighting this once and let me have you, wife. "
49 " I loved every moment of it. But I would not let him win. I would not bow down to him. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. "
50 " Declan didn’t understand. Olivia didn’t understand. No one understood what I felt. How deep the guilt had embedded into my soul. Father had told me repeatedly that family was everything. That we lived and died for family, but then Liam happened and I swear Sedric knew what I had done. He looked me dead in the eye and waited for me to confess my sin, but I couldn’t speak. "

54 " Put Officer Pope and his family on the list. "
55 " This isn't jail. You don't even get a last pray. "
56 " Stepping toward the man, I looked him over. "You're Irish." "Yes, Mr. Callahan." "Who the fuck forgot to recruit you? "

"Anger issues," I said to him reaching for my gun. "
58 " Remember how close you came today to having me in this office,” I said, pressing the opener just a little bit harder into his neck. “Then remember you do not own Chicago. We own Chicago, which you forgot in the heat of your roaring. We! Next time you forget, I will cut you from the tip of your pretty chin to your heart. Now off. "
59 " Fuck, Mel. Why must you always try to piss me off?” His eyes narrowed before he finally let me go.“The American Royal Couple, remember? That means I embody freedom of fucking speech. "
