Chapter 13 Marianna

I can't believe that asshole. After kissing me the way he did, he had the nerve to spend the night with his whore while I spent all night tossing and turning wondering why he did that. For a second there I thought it was because he felt... I don't want to say sorry because that's worse. I think maybe he felt something for me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kissed me like... God, I don't even know how to explain it. The few times I've been kissed, the men didn't care. They were after my body not to make me feel anything. And up until yesterday, I didn't know a man with a reputation like De Luca's could kiss like that. Fuck, I would have gotten on my knees if he'd asked me to.
Now I see how stupid I was. He's doing the same thing Padre sent me here to do. And if I hadn't seen him with that slut I would have fallen for it. Damn, I need to be alert or De Luca will turn the tables on me.
"You look disappointed Mari. Do you like him?" Simona asks
