Now I know Enzo’s true feelings for me, I don’t want anything to get in the way of that. I won’t let it. We deserve this chance to see where it goes.
If Angelo is too stubborn and pigheaded to see that, then it’ll be his loss.
It worries me that if given the opportunity to choose, Enzo may not choose me.
There is a lot to lose for him if this goes south; his friendship with Angelo, for one. As well as his business, his job, his entire reputation… not that I think Angelo would take these things from him, but the dynamics have changed.
I just hope that no matter what happens, Angelo gives us a chance.
I don’t know why I get that feeling that things are doomed before they even begin, but a bad feeling wells up inside me like it has done before.
I’m just being stupid.
Nothing bad is going to happen.
The only thing that could make me more scared of anything in the world is losing Enzo.
But he’s mine now.
I don’t care what Angelo says or does.
It’s done.
Finito.
I can’t wait to see him tonight and throw my arms around him and tell him how much I love him for real.
Our time is now.
Nothing will get in my way.

Rocco knows his knots,I’ll give him that.
I don’t like to see a woman tied up and in distress, not like this, though I remind myself that she is potentially behind bribing me and threatening Valentina.
I push my anger down and keep my calm.
Angelo removes his jacket—never a good sign—and rolls his sleeves to his elbows.
Rocco stands behind the chair, but it isn’t as if she’s going anywhere.
She isn’t gagged, but she has wide eyes and her bottom lip trembles.
I glance up and Marco stands beside Angelo, in practically the same rigid stance. Neither of them looks pleased about what’s about to take place.
“Georgie,” Marco says with an eerily quiet tone. “Now is the time to come clean, do you understand? You’re in a lot of trouble.”
Just in case she didn’t notice, with her hands tied behind her.
Her knees literally wobble.
I don’t think this line of interrogation is going to get us anywhere. She looks like she’s about to pee herself and possibly fucking faint.
I crouch down onto my haunches as her terrified eyes flick to mine. “Did Rocco explain why you’re here?”
