Chapter 33

Isabella

I felt my heart thud against my chest as violently as possible. No matter how hard I tried to get the vital organ to return to its normal pace, it just wouldn’t budge. Instead, the more I tried, the worse it became—and I knew why.

I slumped onto my bed as a string of sighs slid past my lips. Up until a moment ago, I was sure I wanted to do it. I was sure I wanted to get revenge on Alessandro for hurting Leo, but was that really the right thing?

Two wrongs don’t always make a right.
