Chapter 28 The Library

• (Leonardo POV)
• Two days of silence after the argument. Two days of Isabella avoiding the dining room, taking meals in her quarters, leaving me alone with my jealousy and the knowledge that I'd pushed too hard.
• Rico had been right. Possession wasn't protection. And burning Vescari's letters had only proven to Isabella that I was exactly what she'd accused me of being. A man too terrified of loss to allow freedom.
