[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

[ Song: Darkside – Oshins, Hael ]

I can tell how shocked he is by this information with how his entire body stiffens and his breath catches. And I swear I can hear the small, almost inaudible "no" coming from his lips.

I throw my arms around him and bury my face in his chest. "Please, Gio. Give me a chance to explain." I pause for a second but then decide I don't want to wait for his response, so I keep talking. "I didn't know what I was in for when he told me to work at The Manor. I was desperate to save my mom. I didn't know what else to do. Please—"

"Shut up." His voice is just above a whisper.

"Gio…" I sob, clinging onto him and tightening my arms. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Shut up. Get off me," he says, but he doesn't attempt to push me away or even touch me. It breaks my heart.
