“Gualtiero, this is madness! You’ve destroyed my entire life in two days,” I yell at him. “Do you honestly think I willeverforgive you for what you’ve done?!”
He’s truly insane. He really is!
My head is spinning with everything. I’m on information overload.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop the sudden lightbulb moment going off in my mind. I really don’t need more to process! I ask anyway.
“Did you have anything to do with Zoe and Rhia leaving early?”
He says nothing but holds my gaze steady, and in this moment I know it’s true.
Fuck!
“Is this business deal you lured Rhia away with even real?!” I start pacing again.
“Of course, it’s real. What do you take me for?”
“Trust me, you don’t want me to answer that,” I say through clenched teeth.
“I called in a favor from a friend who owns a new hotel chain and needs a solid public relations campaign. Your friend is talented from what I saw. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
“Oh my God, I can’t believe this!!!” I cry out, shaking all over now. “Why did you go to these lengths?!”
I’m sure the answer is obvious to him, but I seem to have lost the ability to think and make sense of anything.
“Because I wanted to spend time with you alone. I don’t like sharing.” I raise an eyebrow at him.
Is he serious?!
He’s jealous of Rhia?! We’re talking about my girlfriend here, not some guy interfering with his supposed treasured ‘possession’.
I sink back into the chair, suddenly too tired to stand up any longer… or is this resignation?
How am I going to get myself out of this?
Gualtiero crouches before me again, his face only inches away, but I cover mine with my hands. Hiding away from him, I take a deep breath, trying to create a bubble of serenity, even if only for a second.
“I arranged for them to leave, because I wanted to see if I was right,” he says, seductively.
I splay my fingers and peek at him through the gaps. “Right about what?” I whisper, his closeness unnerving me.
“Right about us and what we could be together,” he breathes, moving my hands from my face and holding them in his.
I swallow hard.
“And I was right. We create magic together. We’re meant to be, angel,” he coos.
“Have you never asked yourself why you were there to save me that day? Our paths were destined to cross.”
I’d like to argue with him about it, but it had occurred to me, too.
On top of it, he’s always felt so familiar… like I’ve known him forever.
But this here shows I know nothing about him… or the things he’s prepared to do to get what he wants.
And the raven… moments before we met. Wasn’t it warning me that something was about to happen?
What if it really is my destiny to be with him?
