Her Crimson Reign
Page 11
Watching my childhood home go up in smoke is bittersweet. While I’ll miss all of the memories it holds of my father, I had much better times with him outside of that house. Most of my misery came from within those walls and the secrets they held.
Knowing we’ve rid the world of two more monsters brings a smile to my face. I finally feel like a weight has been lifted off of my soul. Don’t get it twisted though. My soul is still black and I’ll always have my demons. They’ll help keep me warm at night.
Epilogue
Six months later
Giovanni
It’s been a wild six months. After Six blew up her parent’s house with her mom and Ricardo inside, she wanted to clear the land and build a new house, one that could be made into the home it never was before. It took a lot of convincing, but I managed to somehow get included as a permanent fixture there. Not just in the house, but in her heart. Who knew my Doll could make any room in there for someone else? I did. But Kat says I don’t count.
I’m so proud of my baby. She’s killing it as the Bratva Boss for the Russians and knocking them dead as the Crimson Queen. Not only is she my queen, but tomorrow she’ll become Mrs. Moretti. Well, Mrs. Petrova-Moretti. Yeah. My girl hyphenates. It’s kind of necessary when you’re running not one, but two mafias.
Tonight we’re celebrating at Reign. We decided on one big party instead of separate bachelor and bachelorette parties. When your fiancé owns a strip club it's a win-win for everyone. We’re standing in the Throne Room having drinks when I come back from the bathroom and can’t find Six. “Do you know where Six went?” I ask Chance.
He shakes his head back and forth then asks, “Have you seen Kat?”
As I go to tell him no, we see Kat walk out onto the stage with a microphone. “Please welcome to the stage your very own Queen of Reign.”
The crowd applauds as Six takes the stage and begins performing the same routine she did the first time she danced for me. This time she's dancing to “Psycho Killer” by RAINNE and I can’t help the cocky grin that spreads across my face
This woman. She’s my brand of fucking crazy. My beautiful nightmare. She's the queen to my king and I can't wait for her crimson reign.
The End.
Acknowledgments
I learned so many lessons while writing this book and have developed a profound new respect for authors and their teams and everything that goes into making something so complex seem so flawless.
There were so many things going on over the past year or so in life that had me retreating to my safe little bubble that I like to call my happy place. I had never been a fan of books. I know! GASP! But I came across an author by the name of L.J. Shen in my quest to find a book I could really dive into and get lost for the first time in my life. I stumbled upon the Sinners of Saint Series and so began my book addiction. Books were there for me when I needed the escape and I hope if you need to get lost for a while, maybe someday mine can be there for you.
Holy shit! I honestly can't believe my husband put up with me while I wrote this book. He tried to keep me on schedule to make my deadline and I kept insisting I was fine, only to drive myself insane while getting off track a million times. Thank you to him for tolerating me and buying me wine to help me write some fucked up shit.
My son. My biggest fan. Thank you so much for telling me every day how much you love my book even though you're too young to read it and hopefully never will. Mama loves you more than you know!
To my mom. Thank you for believing in me even when I found it hard to believe in myself. Love you!
