Chapter 41 Shaken Love

• GIULLIA SANTORI'S POV
• When I enter the house, I don't see Vittorio around. I go up to the room and scan the space, noticing it's quiet and empty. I head to the balcony, and he is, smoking a cigarette and sipping on a glass of whiskey. Vittorio hears my footsteps, looks back, and I stop where I am. We gazed at each other for a while.
• After a sigh, I go to the balcony railing, resting my hands there and observing the tranquility. I know Vittorio's gaze is on me, watching me attentively.
