“You look gorgeous, Gianna. The pissed-off look goes really well with your dress.”
He was annoying and arrogant and never knew when to shut up. He’s like you.
“I can’t fucking believe you got more action than me on my own fucking wedding night,” Luca muttered.
Made Men would always kill, always cheat, always ruin anything they touched.
He was marrying me to prove a point: that he got whatever he wanted,
Lily must have managed to get over her anxiety around Romero at some point. Puppy love turned you blind.
why was I suddenly missing the things I’d despised?
sometimes I almost forgot that I wasn’t who I pretended to be.
Nobody had ever looked at me like that, like I was the only source of water in a time of drought.
this playful side? That scared me because he seemed likeable, even loveable.
He looked like this was the easiest thing in the world for him, being buried deep inside of me, and having a chat.
I hated that he wasn’t acting like a total asshole, hated that hating him wasn’t as easy as I’d thought.
I tried to slap him but he caught my wrist and actually kissed my palm with a self-satisfied grin.
Your sister has warmed his cold heart. You Scuderi women have a talent for it.”
“You are such a romantic, Gianna. Your words always warm my heart.” “Oh shut up,” she muttered.
His touch was so gentle, it made me want to nuzzle my face against his neck and have a good cry.
Maybe admitting that I liked her red hair was already enough to make her want to stay a brunette forever.

Love means seeing someone at their worst and still seeing the good in them, love means someone is perfect for you despite their imperfections.”
“I’d do it for you. You are my wife and I want to make you happy.”
I was too selfish and possessive. I didn’t want to lose her, even if that was what was best for her.
“You can’t compare Aria to Gianna. They are like two different species. And I trust Aria absolutely. She caught a fucking bullet for me.” “Must be nice,” I muttered. “Gianna would probably applaud my shooter.”
I should hate him. I should hate what he was and what it meant for me. I should that he couldn’t give me up no matter how often I pushed him away. Why couldn’t he give up?
“I don’t want to love you,” I whispered as I jerked to a halt, clenching my eyes shut. But I did. I did love Matteo.
I wasn’t going to open my fucking heart to her and risk her stomping on it. I knew what I was feeling, had known it for a long time but I’d never said it to her.
“I love you, Gianna. I’ve fucking loved you for a long time.”
It had taken a long time but I realized I could feel free, be free, even when I was bound to Matteo.
