CHAPTER 26

JULIETTA

I stare into his eyes.

Rafael Lencioni’s soulless, perfect, brown eyes.

They’re the kind of eyes you never forget. Not for a single second of your life. His fingers are curled around my arm, his mouth is millimeters from mine, and his breath is hitting my cheek in short, hard bursts. It’s been days since I ran from him, and if I didn’t know better, I’d say the comfort I feel from standing here in front of him is real.

But we both know it isn’t.

His lies are breaking my heart. He’s tearing it into a thousand tiny pieces because I have to do something I honestly believed I’d never have to do. There was one rule I shouldn’t have broken—he was never meant to mean anything to me.

My own brown eyes don’t disconnect from his. Instead, we just stare at one another, so much passing between us, the main thing being a sense of desperation.

A desperation to change a life we have no say over.

“Why, Julietta?” he rasps, his voice low, deep and husky.

I love the way he says my name like he means it, like it’ll be the only name he ever murmurs for the rest of his life.

“Answer me,” he demands, carefully, precisely, with an order you can’t shy away from, even though he’s not raising his voice.

His hand gently moves from my arm up my neck and there he cups my jaw, bringing my face closer to his, as if he’s going to kiss me. But he’s not. He won’t. Not here. Not in public. That would break all the rules and Rafael does not break rules. That’s the problem.

That’s always been the problem.

“Let me go, Raf,” I breathe, trying to move away from those intense brown eyes.

“Not until you tell me why.”

Why I’m here.

Why I ran from him.

Why I’ve avoided him.

Because I had to. I have to. I can't take it anymore. The lies, yes, but mostly, the pain. The intense, desperate pain. The agony of needing someone you can't have. It leaves me only one choice. I'm going to do the one thing I know will make him turn his back on me. The one thing I know will make him run in the opposite direction. The one thing I'm certain will ensure he doesn't come back.

The thought of never again touching him, kissing him, laughing with him makes my heart twist and an agonizing ache forms in the pit of my stomach, but I have to do it. I have to. For him. For me. For us.

So, I part my lips and say the words that'll take him from my world forever. "I'm in love with you."

I see it before my words are finished leaving my lips. I see the way his eyes flash. I see the way his body stiffens and he straightens, looking broken, looking confused, looking furious. His hand slides from my jaw and everything inside me screams to reach out and grab it back, but I don’t. I let it fall, taking my heart along with it.
