CHAPTER 55

MANUEL'S POV

I left home without seeing Bianca because I had a very important meeting to attend. When I got to the office, Julia was already there, and she let me know that Francesca had already been here earlier. It sounded really weird to me because I thought she'd never show face around me anymore, considering the way things had ended the last time she was here. Couldn't she just get the point that we could no longer be together? I had been so worried when Bianca had walked in on us the other day. I didn't know why, but I just wanted to thoroughly assure her that nothing went on between Francesca and I. I was so relieved when she had accepted my explanation and further went on to give me great pleasure. It was at that moment I realized I wasn't ready to ever let go of her. She was mine.
