So when their arranged engagement was announced, no one was surprised.
At least, that’s what I thought.
But lately, something felt off. Wherever I went, Matteo was there—lurking in the dark, concealed in the shadows, even in broad daylight, always watching.
I didn’t know what I’d done to capture his attention. I didn’t want it. Yet, I couldn’t stop my heart from trembling, like a bare soul caught in the icy grip of winter, whenever he came near. Nor could I ignore my body’s traitorous response to his voice, low and laced with wicked intent.
I fought to resist him. I truly did. But it was useless.
He knew it. And so did I.
So I ran.
But here’s the thing about the Vitales: they always give chase.
