I was reborn into the year Lorenzo was most captivated by me.
It was also the year he first betrayed me.
I dragged my feverish body and burst into the underground club he frequented.
The man, who was usually impeccably dressed in a suit, now had his bronzed chest bare.
A seductive woman was entwined in his arms.
“I bet your sweet little appraiser has never seen you like this, has she, Lorenzo?”
His fingers tightened around her throat. “Don't test my patience. If you dare show your face in front of her, I'll make you disappear forever.”
The woman hooked a finger under the lace garter on her thigh.
“Is this what you want to make disappear?”
Watching the lust ignite in Lorenzo's eyes, I dialed my father's number.
“I agree to marry into the Rossi family.”
