Louis’ eyes narrowed, his face flushed with barely controlled fury. “You disgraced me, Alexandra,” he spat. “In front of the entire family. You think flirting with Sebastian makes you look clever? It makes you look weak. Disrespectful. And you’ve disrespected me, the entire mafia.”
I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head in disbelief. “I disrespected you? You’ve got to be kidding me, Louis. You stand there, acting like you’re the victim, but what about you parading around with Jane? What about the fact that you spend more time with her than with me?”
“Jane is family,” he snapped, his voice low and dangerous. “You know that.”
“And I’m your wife!” I shot back, my voice rising. “I’m the one who’s supposed to be by your side, not her. But every time I turn around, she’s there, and you’re right beside her, ignoring me like I don’t even exist. Don’t talk to me about disrespect when you’ve been doing the same damn thing for months.”
He opened his mouth to argue, but I could see the flicker of doubt in his eyes. He knew I was right, and that realization only made his anger burn hotter.
