"No one will ever fucking touch what’s mine and not pay for it.”

"You need to stop questioning me. I’m the one with the dick, and the sooner you realise that, the easier this will be. Trust me baby, you’ll start to like it that way."

Nero

MADE MAN

I SEE FOUR MADE MEN STANDING, I SHALL NOT TELL.

THE BOSS.

THE TERRIFYING.

THE SCARY.

THE PARANOID.

I SEE THREE MADE MEN STANDING, I SHALL NOT TELL.

THE BOSS.

THE TERRIFYING.

THE SCARY.

I SHALL NOT EVER TELL.

Elle swallowed as she sat up in the bed and held the covers around her breasts. She stared up at him, and for the first time, she believed she saw Nero for who he really was.

A made man.

Nero held Elle’s eyes, making her see.

- I will fight. I will torture. And I will kill in my line of work.

I knew I would join the mob ever since I could remember, and you have to accept that because I am not giving you an option.

It’s a part of me, just how you’re a part of me, but nothing—nothing—will ever come before you.

No one will ever fucking touch what’s mine and not pay for it. That’s why she had to be dealt with.

Nero raised his hand when Elle looked like she was about to cry again.

- I did not fucking kill her, but I promise you she wishes she was dead.

However, I am not going to find you lying on the bathroom floor again, so the next person will not be so lucky.

If anyone ever lays a hand on you, I will fucking kill them, and no amount of begging or crying will stop me. If you pull that shit again, I will torture the fucker twice as long.

Do you understand me?
