Chapter 32 Painful to say the least

• Vanessa’s pov,
• I did not hear from duke for 2 days and I was so angry at myself that I had been at a loss for words when I last saw him. I could have told him about my plan to take Don Lorenzo down from the inside, but I just stood there like an idiot.
• When he finally texted, me saying I should meet him at the gate again, I just dropped everything and ran outside. Duke was already waiting for me, and I sighed relieved when I saw he looked at me with kindness again instead of disgust.
