GIOVANNI
Something isn’t right.
The thought filters through my head as I struggle to pull in a breath.
I’m halfway up the stairs and it feels like my heart is going to explode right
out of my chest. After swiping a hand across my sweaty brow, I lay my
palm against the wall above the railing and try not to panic.
For several moments, I don’t move and just listen to the rapid drumming in
my ears. Yeah, something is definitely wrong with me, and I have a feeling
it’s not good.

Lately, any little thing I do takes a herculean effort. And it’s beginning to
worry me. However, I’ve been doing my best to ignore the odd symptoms
popping up. Like how my thirty-one-year-old ass can’t walk up a flight of
steps without getting winded. Or, how I’m always tired all the time no
matter how much sleep I get. Which, of course, only makes me more
grumpy than usual.
I keep telling myself I’m young and it’s nothing serious. No need to worry.
There’s also the ridiculous amount of stress I’m under, too, and that would
be enough to make anyone not feel well. My father is looking to me to take
over the family business so he can retire soon. Matteo Marino knows how
to apply the pressure and pour on the guilt to get his way.
Maybe any other eldest son would be excited and chomping at the bit to
take over a billion-dollar empire. My father has certainly prepared me for it.
But, lately, the honest to God truth is I don’t want it. Any of it. Not the
multi-million-dollar corporations, not the shady underground dealings and
certainly not the weight of his legacy. It’s suffocating.
Which probably wouldn’t make sense to most people. But do I really want
to be remembered like he will be? As a ruthless man who would choose
money over his own family? A father who disinherited his daughters
because they married rivals? A grandfather who chose not to meet his
grandchildren because he couldn’t come to terms with the fact that his
daughters fell in love with men from the O’Shea family? Same with his son.
My younger brother Luca recently wed Finley O’Shea. And what started
out as a contract eventually turned into something real and beautiful.
The reality is my father’s billion-dollar empire was built on selfish
decisions, eliminating rivals and dirty dealings. The whole thing makes me
a little sick. But he keeps looking at me, expecting me to be excited about
stepping into his shoes. And I’m not. I haven’t been feeling well for weeks
now and, even though I’m trying not to worry about my deteriorating
health, I can’t help it. The symptoms are getting to be too much to ignore.
Though I’m still trying my damndest to pretend like I’m healthy as a horse.
Even though I can’t walk up a goddamn flight of stairs.
This is ridiculous, Gio. Get your shit together. You’re fine.
