"You say a word and I'll step back. Tell me not to touch you," Louis murmured, his own control slipping as he admitted to his profound yearning for her touch.

"Get away from me," she managed to whisper.

"Mean it, Verena," he persisted, the insistence in his voice urging her to make a definitive choice. 

His hand advanced, inching closer to her neck, his touch lingering there momentarily before retreating, a delicate dance of desire.

For a second, silence hung heavy in the air, pregnant with unspoken tension. Then, as if her inner turmoil had reached its peak, the words spilled from her lips. "I fucking hate you," she spat out.

Without further hesitation, Verena surged forward, her hand finding its way to the back of his neck. In an instant, her lips crashed against his.

Ruins Of The Glory

The soft glow of the bedside lamp filled the room as Louis gently pushed Verena's wheelchair through the doorway.

He carefully guided her towards the bed, his hands steady and supportive. With a tender smile, he assisted her in sitting down on the edge of the mattress, making sure she was comfortable.

"Thank you." Verena said and reached for her phone and began typing a message to Marcello, her fingers moving swiftly across the screen.

A smile played on her lips as she hit send, knowing that Marcello would be delighted to hear from her.

While Verena was occupied with her phone, Louis quietly excused himself to change into more comfortable clothes.

As he emerged from the bathroom, clad in a simple t-shirt and pyjama bottoms, he found Verena near the bed, ready to change herself.

Louis grinned mischievously as he saw Verena. "Need any help there?" he teased, raising an eyebrow playfully. "I'm quite skilled at assisting damsels in distress."
