The Castillos decided to make a grand entrance at my event and I was not pleased about it.
I was in the middle of talking to a business associate when I sighted them from the corner of my eye.
Don Castillo ca in with his son and of course his daughter with an unusual amount of security.
He knew his entry would raise questions to the press about my relation with him, further fueling their speculations about my businesses. He was doing this to spite and make an easy target for the authorities. I could see through his bullshit and I was not falling for it.
I could already sense the murmuring and feel the suspicions from the clean businessn.
I wondered who added the Castillos to the guest list for the event.
Other mafia families here ca in with one or two security who were lowkey with their weapons but this old man ca in with fully kitted n, unsettling my guests.
My jaw was clenched. I was pissed as he approached. The last thing I needed was an open gun fight at a public event of this magnitude so I was going to try and keep my cool.
"Don Romano," he smirked evilly.
I nodded in acknowledgnt, my lips pursed in a thin line. "Nice to see you Don Castillo. I wasn’t expecting you."
"I received an invite and I thought it would be disrespectful to turn down the invitation of a man that would have been my son in law."
I gave a curt nod to acknowledge what he said, ignoring his subtle jab.
"Congratulations on your wedding."
"Thank you."
"Well where’s the Mrs?" He asked, casually looking around like he would know her if he saw her.
"She’s around here sowhere." I replied.
"I better go find my seat. An old man needs to rest." He chuckled and left to go sit next to my mother who got on her feet to acknowledge him.
My eyes t my mom’s. There was still worry in them. I looked away just as his daughter started to approach.
I nearly groaned as she sashayed towards . She looked like a seductress as usual. I was almost tempted to rember all the tis we were tangled under the sheets.
Caterina was a stallion in bed. I shut my eyes, fighting off the mories of her twerking on my cock. She was wild and that was exactly what I liked. She even had the massive curves to go with it. But I could not let myself marry her for so reasons.
"Hello stranger," she grinned sultrily.
"Caterina. Nice to see you," I said.
I certainly did not an that. I looked around until my eyes t Tomas. He understood my signal as soon as he saw the problem in front of .
"I wish I could say the sa. You ssed us up Jace. We have so much to talk about."
"I don’t think we have anything to discuss, Cat." I said plainly.
She chuckled humorlessly and tried to get closer to . I imdiately took a step back. Thankfully Tomas had brought Mira. I possessively placed my hand around my wife’s hip imdiately.
"Caterina, this is my wife, Mrs Mirabel Romano."
Calling her full na out sounded sexy to . I looked down at her gorgeous little self. Maybe I would do sothing about that tonight if I was not too tired.
Caterina spoke up, bring back to reality, "So the rumors are true. You broke off our engagent and got married to this?"
I knew the look in her eyes too well. She was trying to belittle my wife. I would not stand for it.
"If by ’this’ you an my wife, yes I broke off our engagent and got married to this beautiful woman by my side."
She scoffed. "I know you’re trying to spite . Have your way with her if that’s what you want so bad. But you know where ho is and I know you’ll co back to ."
She was overly confident and I hated that I could not caution her the way I typically would. I was still in public and I did not want to cause her scene.
Her father had given her wings I needed to clip.
"You can leave now." I said through gritted teeth.
I was fighting hard to not cause a scene and I could see she wanted to push .
"Jace-"
"I will not repeat myself Caterina Castillo. Tomas, escort her to her table." I said.
Taking Mira’s hand, I walked with her to introduce her to other guests as my wife. If Caterina thought I was playing gas, I was going to prove to her that I wasn’t.
I noticed that Mira had beco cold after that interaction. She barely gave polite smiles as I took her around and introduced her to both legal and illegal associates.
For my associates that belonged to the mafia and knew my family quite well, so of them nodded in approval seeing the family heirloom on her finger. Even I was surprised when my mother agreed to give her the ring tonight. I thought it would take more ti.
I led Mira back to the table after a while. She seed uncomfortable.
I could tell she wanted to return ho but could not say it out loud. We were almost done here. The point of this gathering was to subtly introduce my new bride into the society I belonged to and it was a success so far except for the unwelco interruption of the Castillos.
"Let’s go." I said, getting on my feet only a few minutes after sitting for the first ti in hours.
Once again, the drive ho was quiet. Now it was extra quiet because Mira seed deeply upset.
A part of wanted to know what exactly was getting her so upset but, I did not want her to see that I cared. She would assu I was weaker than I let on.

We got to the mansion near midnight. Mira got out of the car first.
I took my ti, coming down from the back, wishing I had driven instead because I felt slight car sickness.
"Jace?"
I turned and faced my mom as soon she called out to . She had just arrived too.
"We need to talk."
I sighed. "If this is about the Castillos, I know what I’m doing."
She frowned. "Are you sure? They are vicious and you should not have ended your engagent to Caterina the way you did."
"How else would I have ended it?"
She went quiet.
"Yeah. I thought so." I stated and walked off.
