He hung up and quickened his pace to catch up with Chris.
“Sir, the heir of the Lucano family is actually named Sebastian Giovanni, known as Mr. Giovanni.”

Stephanie felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.
“What red wine tastes like this?” She knew that most red wines had a strong aftertaste, but this one was

She couldn't smell or taste alcohol at all.
Sebastian playfully tweaked her nose, his affectionate smile tinged with a hint of helplessness.
He had been right; the wine's aftereffect was indeed strong.
