MILLIE
My eyes darted toward my bed. This was a horrible reminder of what would happen soon.
"There's something else. Are you taking the pill?"
Color drained from my face as I stared at him. "Of course not."
Gio scrutinized me with unsettling calm. "Your mother could have made you start it in preparation for the wedding."
I was pretty sure I was going to have a nervous breakdown any moment. "My mother would never do that. She won't even talk to me about these things."
Gio raised one eyebrow. "But you do know what happens between a man and a woman on a wedding night?" He was mocking me, the bastard.
"I do know what happens between normal couples. In our case, I think the word you're looking for is rape."
Gio's eyes flashed with emotion. "I want you to start taking the pill." He handed me a small packet. It was birth control.
"Do I need to see a doctor before I start taking birth control?"
"We have a doctor who's been working for the Familia for decades. This is from him. You need to start taking the pill immediately. It takes 48 hours for them to start working."
I couldn't believe him. He seemed really eager to sleep with me. My stomach tightened. "And what if I don't?"
Gio shrugged. "Then I'll use a condom. Either way, on our wedding night, you are mine."
He opened the door and gestured for me to move. As if in a trance, I walked into the living area of the suite. I hadn't meant to make him angry, but now it was too late. It probably wasn't the last time anyway.
Enrique stood beside Harper and Sienna, looking annoyed. He frowned at Gio. "What are you doing here?"
"You should pay better attention in the future and keep your breaks to a minimum," Gio told him.
"I was gone for only a few minutes, and there were guards in front of the other doors."
Harper smirked. Sebastian's eyes were locked on her. "What are you looking at?" she snapped.
Sebastian leaned forward. "At your hot body."
"Then keep looking." She gave a one-shoulder shrug. "Because that's all you ever get to do with my hot body."
"Stop it," Enrique warned.
I wasn't looking at him but at Sebastian, who had a calculating expression on his face.
"Dario will take over the watch duty until the wedding," Gio said. Enrique opened his mouth, but Gio raised a hand. "It's done." He turned to Dario, who straightened at once. They walked a few steps away from us.
Harper pressed up to me. "What does he mean?"
"Dario is my new bodyguard."
"He just wants to control you."
"Shh." I was watching Gio and Dario. After a moment, Dario glanced at Sienna, then nodded and said something.
