Chapter 33 Dealing with a broken heart

• Vanessa’s pov,
• Tomasso found me hours later still laying there in the rain. I was trembling from the cold and did not even hear what he was saying to me. I saw the worry in his eyes, but nothing seemed to register. He picked me up in his arms and carried me all the way back to the mansion. Lianna was waiting in my room and both of them tried to talk to me, but I just curled up in bed and started crying again. Lianna slept with me that night cuddling and comforting me until I fell asleep.
• I stayed in bed for days after that, Tomasso and Lianna checked on me every once in a while and tried to talk to me. They told Don Lorenzo that I was sick so luckily everyone else left me alone. On the 5th day, Lianna pulled the blankets off me and spoke to me strictly, “Look, Vanessa. It’s okay that you don’t want to talk about it, but you need to get on your feet again. You set something in motion, and we need you to complete the plan.”
