[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

"Do you mind if I respond first?" I say, but I'm already texting Gio back.

[ Me: Yes, I'm home at the moment. I won't have a phone after this text, so I won't be able to receive calls or texts or respond to them. I don't know when I'm getting a new one. I'll be with my mom at the hospital tonight, so I'll just see you tomorrow at work. ]

I don't wait for his response and turn off the device. I remove my sim and memory cards before handing the phone over to him. "Thanks for letting me use it."

Bryce grips it in his hands. "I'm really sorry, Mal." He looks like he has something else to say but he purses his lips and turns around to leave.

A resigned chuckle comes out of him as he pauses for a second, his back still to me. "Yeah, I deserved it. Goodbye, Malia. Take care."
