*Elio*
‘Well, at least I was able to overcome one problem,’ I thought tiredly to myself.
I hated fighting with Caterina. I knew, deep down, that her heart was always in the right place, even when the two of us would fall into an argument. She hated secrets, and being kept in the dark on matters that would ultimately affect her… and rightfully so.
I knew for a fact that a part of her would still never truly forgive me for lying about her father and my family’s past. It had been months since Cat found out the truth, months since she became entrusted in the mess that was my family business.
That awful night between Alessandro and Antonio was still burning in the back of my mind. I was well aware of the nightmares that Cat suffered from as a result. All that time she spent in the hospital looking after her mom never failed to remind me how close we came to losing everything that night. Had Matilde died from that gunshot, I knew that Cat would have never recovered from the loss.
