DRAGO

   There is only one punishment for spies and liars,
A slow and painful death.
And my sweet, angelic wife,
Who bewitched everyone in my home,
From my men - even to my dogs,
Is the worst traitor of all.

   But it seems I have fallen under her spell as well,
With every smile, every ridiculous outfit,
I'm struggling,
And failing.

   I want to hate her,
But instead, I'm yearning to hear,
Every silent lie that leaves her irresistible lips.


SIENNA

   Only show them what I want them to see,
Never let them in.
That's how I handle things.

   I may have agreed to this marriage,
But I'll never be his,
Never let him see beneath my mask.

   But with every passing day,
It's getting harder to fulfill my task,
I'm struggling,
And failing.

   I am falling in love,
With the man I vowed to betray.

Yes, her sole reason for coming into my home was to spy on me. Yes, she went as far as snooping on my phone to read my messages. And yes, I’m still angry as hell.

But I’m not spending a night without her in my bed. Not a single night. I lower her onto the bed, then lie down behind her and wrap my arms around her sleeping form. She might be a sneaky, scheming little spy, but she’s my spy.

“If I may ask, what happened with the emeralds?”

“Oh? Would she like them used for a beautiful bracelet? I have an amazing new designer back in Paris, I’m sure we can come up with a magnificent custom piece—”

“They weren’t for her jewelry. She needed them for her aquarium.”

"It was a pleasure meeting you, Sienna DeVille, he says, and my eyes flare in surprise. "Call your don. Tell him Drago said yes."
