Envy

DANTE AGOSSA

We couldn’t both be in charge just like we both couldn’t have her. When she made her choice, I settled for power, and let my twin brother have the woman who chose him over me. But the time had come to have both power and her.

ENZO AGOSSA

I got the woman but none of the power. At the time, it seemed like a fair trade-off, but not anymore. Brother ran the city, throwing me a bone every now and again, thinking it kept me content. It didn’t. I had the girl and wanted to add the power.

BELLA ROBUSTELLI

Ten years ago I made a choice. I took Enzo over Dante. Ten years later, I realized the error in my ways. Enzo’s envy of his brother’s power pushed me away, and that’s all it took for me to find Dante’s bed. Now, the war has started and I’m not sure any of us will survive.
