Chapter 31

Mariana’s eyes stayed on the piano as tears fell down her eyes. She didn’t want to look at Marco.

She knew that by the end of her story, he wouldn’t want her anymore, and it hurt deeply. Seriously, it really hurt.

It hurt that all her life and hopes will always be shattered due to her history with Valente.

A finger trailed along her naked shoulder, making her shiver which pulled her out of her thought.

She turned her head to the side and caught sight of Marco standing behind her.

“You’re precious as a pearl,” he said, and her eyes closed automatically.

His words pulled a string from her heart.

He trailed his finger slowly along the scar that started from her shoulder and ended a few inches above her butt, his touch sending a shiver down her spine.

It aroused him having her naked body in front of him like this made his hands itch to worship every inch of her.

It made goosebumps rise on
