Chapter 49 Valentino Martinez

• River’s POV
• Secured firmly in his grip, I couldn’t stop him, no matter how much I resisted. He’d managed to pick me up from where I’d been hunched on the floor, trembling after hearing everything.
• I had woken up earlier, bored with the quiet, uneventful atmosphere of the house since the incident. Angel had sympathized with me when she found out but had kept her distance, likely because of the brooding presence that seemed permanently stationed in any room I occupied. It was no secret she didn’t like Rico, not one bit.
