Chapter 21

• Ava’s POV
• "My back hurts," I said, keeping it brief because I didn't want to start a fight or cause any chaos between these two lunatic brothers.
• Fabio put me in the back of his car. He stared at me so intently that it made it difficult to focus on my back pain or his dangerously piercing eyes, which felt like they could steal my soul at any moment. I bit my lower lip and narrowed my eyes as I stared back at him. He then placed his finger on my lower lip and said, "That's why it's bleeding—you keep biting it so hard. Stop biting your lower lip, Ava."
