Chapter 113

• Eris’ funeral was a small and somber affair. It wasn’t as lavish as Conrad’s had been, but that was because Dominic hadn’t opened his funeral to anyone not living in his house. As Bianca had settled in, it seemed that Austin had taken a special liking to her. He kept hovering and watching her, so Dominic had to wonder if something else was going on between them.
• Rafaella had also immediately taken Bianca under her wing, even though Bianca was a year older than her. Bianca was quiet and reserved mostly, but her eyes lit up whenever Austin walked into a room. Dominic had noticed it during her first week with them. She hadn’t complained about anything or asked for anything, but Dominic had made sure that she had everything she needed. She was a Vittori, meaning she would be looked after like a Vittori.
• “Is Austin fucking Bianca?” Dominic asked Rafaella one night as they retired after dinner with the family.
