Chapter 15

• Amelia's POV
• My night went from one hundred to zero in a matter of seconds. I was high on the adrenaline, and my mind was still occupied with the moment Alessandro and I had shared back in the pool room. I knew I was supposed to avoid Alessandro; otherwise, the spark I had felt between us was going to explode. I went to look for Salvatore in the VVIP lounge, and my heart dropped in my stomach the moment I walked in, and I immediately regretted my decision. My eyes landed on Giuseppe. I stopped in my tracks and stared. His own gaze had moved to me, and that creepy, familiar smile appeared on his face.
• “Mrs. Conti,” his gruff voice sounded through the room and all I wanted to do was run to the opposite side of the building, far away from him as possible.
