Chapter 84 Liliana

• My feet felt like lead as I walked through the hallways of college. It just did not feel the same anymore. The excitement I had once had for this place had all but gone. The anticipation for the course I was doing... gone. It had been everything I had wanted, to follow in my Mami's footsteps. But now, I was beginning to doubt if I was even capable of it all. All because of that man. All because I now knew his secret.
• Yet, I knew that this was my own doing. This was nobody's fault but my own. I had been swept off my feet by the charms of his handsomeness... his way with words... despite the fact I knew I should never have gone near a tutor. Maybe the forbiddenness of it all was part of the appeal. I just wish now that I had been stronger and had resisted. But instead, I had been a fool. I could only imagine my Papi’s words if he knew… after he had broken Lukas’s legs, of course. He would be sure to punish any man that had hurt his daughter... and damaging her heart was some of the worst pain possible...
• The worst thing was I had to act like everything was fine with my family. I had never wanted them to know, because I knew they would never have agreed to it. So, they had no clue I had been seeing him. They didn’t even know I had a boyfriend. Mami may have been more understanding of that, but Papi was certainly more protective, and had told both me and my younger sister, Isabella, we were better to stay away from guys, and wait for our fated mates. Like he had done the same thing and waited for his fated mate when he was our age… I don’t think so.
