Mafia Kings: Adriano: Chapter 78
After that, we drove back to the Valentino store.
Adriano created something of a stir when he walked in, dressed to the nines –
But I’d like to think I created an equal stir as I walked out of the dressing room in the red dress.
The saleswoman clasped her hands and exclaimed, “You two are stunning!”
Adriano stared at me like he was seeing me for the first time.
He took my hand and held it over my head, slowly twirling me around. “You’re absolutely breathtaking…”
“You clean up pretty well yourself.”
He grinned.
Then the saleswoman said, “Now we just need a purse.”
It was true – I did need something to carry my lipstick and makeup in.
She turned to a drawer set into the wall and pulled out a tiny clutch bag. It was covered in black sequins and glittered like obsidian.
“Wonderful,” I said.
It was small, sleek, and exactly the size I needed for just a couple of items…
And I could make Adriano carry it. Ha.
Adriano handed the woman an American Express Black Card. She smiled politely and disappeared from the room.
I took Adriano’s hands in mine. “Thank you. For everything.”
“You realize that all of this is nothing compared with what you’re doing for my family, right?” he asked quietly.

“No. You’re putting your life at risk. This… it’s only money. It is literally nothing compared with what you’re doing.”
“Well, it means a lot to me,” I whispered. “It’s like a dream come true.”
“Good,” he murmured. “That alone makes it worth it.”
And then we kissed.
