Victoria
"Hey." He said before rounding me and coming to stand in front of me before tilting my head upwards to look at him.
"I would never do anything to hurt you or betray my brother. I won't do anything you don't want to do,"
"I'm sorry."
I cried.
I cried for how horrible my life had become. I cried for the forbidden romance I desperately craved with Valentino.
I cried because one night of passion with an incredibly handsome man who had power and sex appeal had ended up ruining my entire life completely.
I did this to myself.
I cried because all my life I have never met a man who treated me with so much warmth and care and gentleness like Valentino had done in the past week I've known him.
"Don't cry, baby. Don't cry." He said before wiping my tears with his thumb and engulfing my sobbing form into a hug.
He placed his chin upon my head and held me tight against himself as I held onto him like I was holding onto my life force.
