Chapter 8

Jane

I cast Bianca a hesitant look. She simply offered me an assuring smile before walking out. I took hesitant steps towards his hunched form and stopped mere inches from him.

"What is it , Ferr..."

My words ended in a gasp when Ferracco suddenly hugged my waist. His entire body began to shudder with sobs. This awkward situation frightened me.

I knew Ferracco to be a hard and ruthless billionaire in his dealings and takeovers. Never in my wildest dreams have l imagined him to break down in tears in my presence.

The sobs which tore from him were full of pain and suffering. For a moment l forgot my hatred for him and embraced him. I smoothed his back whilst murmuring consoling words to him.

" Jane! ...Jane!..," he whispered between sobs.

Pain ripped through me at seeing his suffering. I hugged him tighter and patted his head. After some time, his sobs subsided. Ferracco unwrapped his strong arms from my waist and staggered towards the table.
