“Stupid Bibiana, what does she know?” Gianna glared at me “Look at her, the way she cowers in front of that fat fool How she lets hiers I’d rather die than lie under a man like that”

“Do you think I can make Luca love me?”

Gianna shook her head “Maybe you can make him respect you I don’t think men like him have a heart to be capable of love”

“Even the most cold hearted bastards have a heart”

“Well, then it’s as black as tar Don’t waste your time on love, Aria You won’t find it in our world”

She was right of course, but I couldn’t help hoping

“Pro Promise me you won’t let him treat you like a whore You are his wife”

“Is there a difference?”

“Yeah, whores at least get to sleep with other e They are better off”

I snorted “You are impossible”

Gianna shrugged “It made you smile” She turned and her expression darkened “Luca sent his lapdog Maybe he orried you’d run”

I followed her gaze to find Ro the bay and the dock

“We should have taken that yacht and run away”

“Where could I run? He’d follow olden watch around my wrist I didn’t know Luca, but I knew ed to the cake will be presented soon”

We put our shoes back on and walked back toward the noise I ignored Romero but Gianna scowled at hi? Or can he at least take a piss on his own?”

“Luca is the groouests,” Romero said simply, but of course it was a reprimand in my direction

Luca’s eyes settled on uests were already drunk, and so a swied the distance between us and took it “Where were you?”
