Harper’s POV
“What’s your condition?” Marco asked, and I could tell right away it wasn’t going to be something we could agree with.
Sure enough, my stepfather gave a small smile and wrapped his arm around my mother’s waist. “My condition is that you return to the Moretti family, give up your plan. You reunite interest groups around the world, turn our business into a part of their interests and marry the person I’ve chosen for you.”
He wasn’t in a rush. In fact, he even found a comfortable spot to sit, making it clear that he was giving us time to think it over.
"I know what you're doing. You think you can break the web of interests that politicians, big money and the Mafia have interwoven for so many years? If you let go now, you're still vested, or you'll lose everything, including Harper."
What worried me most, though, was that Marco actually hesitated.
“Marco!” I called out to him, trying to pull him back to his senses.
