Chapter 117

• Luca stared into her eyes, he hated himself for making her cry, he came back because he couldn’t do it, he couldn’t let her leave and think he didn’t care about her, so he came back to tell her. he had gotten out of the jet and felt his heart explode in pain, the sight of her crying, broke his heart but the thought that after today, he might not see her again made it all worse, he couldn’t take any step further, couldn’t bring himself to leave. He loved her so much and didn’t want to let her go back home without knowing, he still had plans to send her back home but now he wanted to let her know he would be back for her. She was good for him, the one purpose he needed to carry on after he took out Claudia and he didn’t want to lose that purpose.
• “Luca,”
• She whispered his name, sniffing back tears, and her hold on him tightened, he had been a fool to think he could walk away from her, he felt like the worst person on earth for making her cry, for making her even think for a moment that he didn’t care about her. he cared about her more than he let on. After he lost all his family, he thought no one would ever love him or care about him but Nora came into his life and changed that, straight up found a place for herself in his heart and also made him open his heart to her. he should have known it would happen, the moment he had seen her at the hospital and she had looked so beautiful and he had been drawn to her. wait, it wasn’t even the hospital, no, it was the moment he had seen her photo that day at his penthouse. And then he couldn’t keep his hands to himself around her; then he couldn’t keep his heart either.
