When we first got married, I bought him a shirt that cost a few hundred dollars. He tried to return it three times.
Now, barely five years later, he could ask me for three hundred thousand without blinking.
I curled my lips into something that wasn't quite a smile. "I deposit a million dollars into the family account every year. Since Carina was born, that's five million. You've spent it all?"
Dante didn't so much as flinch. "Getting Carina into that academy cost a fortune in connections. You know how it is. The tutors there are all well-connected people. Families with ties to every Capo on the Eastern Seaboard. You can't afford to offend a single one of them."
"Including Serafina Conti?"
His expression seized up. Before he could respond, Carina piped up out of nowhere. "Well, duh! Carina's mommy is pretty and amazing, so obviously she gets the biggest presents."
She raised her little pinky finger and pointed it straight at my nose, chin tilted high like she was scolding a disobedient dog.
