Bound By Love Quotes

Bound By Love by Cora Reilly

"Love is a weakness, Luca. It has brought the strongest men to their knees."
"Being born into our world means being born with blood on our hands. With every breath we take sin is engraved deeper into our skin."
"There are few good things in our world, Luca, and if you find one, you cling to it with all your might. You are one of those good things in my life."
"Maybe love is a risk, but it's a risk I'm willing to take and as you said, it's not a choice."

"It doesn’t matter if there were one hundred or one thousand before you, because now there’s only you."
"You are a mafia princess, Aria. You were brought up to brave men like me. You can stand up to a wretched whore like Grace."
"Because I don’t want to be. I want that part of my life to be good, pure. The rest of my life will always be filled with violence and death."
"Before you I ever only fucked, Aria. I didn’t care about any of those women."

"I'll love you in your darkest hour, I'll love you even when you are weak."
"You don’t know, that’s the fucking problem. I’ve burnt and beaten and cut. I’ve strangled and drowned people. I have done every horrendous thing you only have nightmares about, Aria."
"The thing that scares me most is that you won’t trust me again, that I ruined the best thing in my life, that I hurt the person I love the most."

"Why would I want anyone else, Aria? There’s no one else I want."
"I will always be at your side, Aria—that I can promise you."
"Oh Gianna, I was so scared for you. I’m so glad you’re here."
"Next time my blade will split your fucking skull if you don’t keep your mouth shut."

"I hope he’d do the same if Valentina ever fell into his hands, which she won’t."
"Don’t ever return to Chicago, Aria. This once I’m doing this, but next time I will do what’s necessary to ensure the Outfit wins this war."
"I wasn’t sure what had him looking that way, but I knew only one thing that had the power to bring him to his knees, only one thing that could destroy Luca, that could make him snap once and for all."
"Love!" He glared. "You might be okay with Gianna fucking around behind your back, but I can’t…I can’t fucking bear the thought of Aria…"
"Gianna hadn’t fucked around, but it was futile to argue with Luca, and I definitely wouldn’t let him ignite my own anger."
"For me to stop Luca, I’d have to disable him and for me to succeed, I’d have to kill him. And that’s not something you can ask of me, Gianna."
"Luca wouldn’t kill Aria because he was a possessive asshole. He’d kill her because she’d made him love and trust her, and had fucking betrayed him, had broken his fucking heart."
"That I ever loved you was my biggest mistake. I won’t make it again."
"I might be willing to die for Gianna and even for Luca, but not for Aria, not when she might have cheated on my brother."
"Yeah, well, now we’ll all have a fucking marvelous Christmas, thanks to you."
"The screams and their blood felt like fucking paradise,"
"You bring shame to our name. Son of a whore. My father should have never welcomed you into our home."
"Don’t cry," Gianna ordered. "He’ll think it’s because of him. Don’t give him that power."
"You won’t ruin this Christmas for all of us, will you?"
"Oh, Aria. I will burn down the world for you and our child."
"Forgive me," he got out. My eyes widened. He had never said those words before.
"Of course, I forgive you, if you forgive me too."
"I love you." He bent down and kissed me softly.
"What are you doing to me?" I whispered affectionately.
"I’m sorry. I forgot to take the pill when everything was a mess."
"Luca," I said, tightening my hold on his ass. "You can’t. Trust me."
"You are the sexiest and most beautiful woman in the world, Aria, bump or not."
"Principessa, we should let the Doc take a look at you."
"Some things can’t be changed, Luca. Pregnancy isn’t something you can influence. You have to trust in my body."
"I need a shower but I’m worried I’ll faint," Aria said.
"I love you too much. It’s fucking painful. It’s killing me every second I’m not with you, every second of having to pretend that I don’t love you."
"We’re going to that Dr. Max now. I want to have a word with him."
"I can still walk," she said with a smile, but I carried her back into the bedroom and set her down on the bench in front of our bed.
"We will. I will be there for you every step of the way from now on, I swear."
"I’m being emotional because of the hormones, Luca, that’s all."
"How could I not be happy about a small version of you?"
"Promise me we won’t ever fight again for so long. I don’t think I can survive it again."
"As long as I am Capo, there won’t be peace with Dante Cavallaro."
"Nothing will happen to you or our baby, trust me."
"Our daughter will be strong. She won’t bow down to a husband. She won’t ever have to fear a man, that I swear."
"If he’s busy killing his father, he won’t cause troubles elsewhere, I presume."
"He held himself with a certain air of self-assurance and barely restrained violence."
"I will consider doing something about the Camorra, but for now I don’t want to give them more reason to work with the Outfit."
"Looking for alliance. I’m going to kill my father and all his men and take over Vegas, and you can either be my ally or my enemy—it’s up to you."
"The only bulge I’ll ever have is in my pants, and you will keep your hands off it."
"I almost wish you’d gained weight, then I wouldn’t feel quite so ginormous."
