[Gio]
How can a woman be both my salvation and damnation? She came to hurt my family and she gutted me with betrayal. Now, she’s back and she won’t know what’s coming for her. I hold grudges and I intend to return the scars she left—only this time, I’ll make sure she’ll bleed to death.

[Lia]
He was the bane of my existence. The man I knew who would ruin me. And yet I let him. I did it to save my mother, but I ended up destroying myself in the process. He was the only man I swore would be the reason for my breathing…and yet on the last day I laid eyes on him, I swore I’d never see him again—even until my very last breath.

Giovanni’s Black Heart: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance

She reaches for my arm, holding it like she usually does. She's not feeling me up—not at all. It's like a need for her, like a reminder that she's in the present and not alone. As confident as this woman is, she has deep and dark trauma that she has a hard time coming out of.

Our occasional hook ups aside, she's the only female friend I have outside the women in my family. I reach and ruffle her hair, giving her a genuine smile. "Of course. Happy birthday."

Tears well up in her eyes but she blinks fast and they're gone. "I didn't know you remembered."

"Dad should have something delivered to your doorstep today."

Her chin wobbles a little but like earlier, she brushes it off. Then she narrows her eyes at me. "Are you seeing someone? You're acting strange."

That's it. I shoo her, open the door and push her out. "You've overstayed your welcome. Now, kindly fuck off."
