The Cambridge Bet — Damien's Little Bird

The most dangerous man in New York has kept me for 10 years, from 18 to 28. Everyone called me Damien Moretti's little bird. And three days from now, the man who owns me is marrying the Rossi family's daughter for the sake of his family. Three days ago, for the first time, I told him I wanted to go back to school.

I wanted to apply to Cambridge. bridge. Damien was picking out cuff clicks for his wedding. He barely looked at me when I said it. After you're married, let me go to England to study. That's the only thing I'm asking for. Fine. As long as you stay where you belong, you can study wherever

want. I thought maybe, for once, he'd actually listened. Until tonight. I'm standing outside a private club when I hear Luca bring me up. Damien, you're getting married.
