After My Father Was Murdered, I Thought He Was My Savior Chapter 11
Suddenly, warmth pressed against me fromÂ
behind.Â
The familiar scent of cologne surrounded me.Â
Rinaldo hugged me tightly, as if he wanted toÂ
press me into his bones.Â
He seemed afraid that the moment he loosenedÂ
his grip, I would disappear forever.Â
His choked voice was full of despair.Â
“Valentina, wasn’t that our beginning? Give me one more chance. Let me spend the rest of my life.Â
making it up to you. Whatever you want, I’ll give itÂ
to you. I only ask that you let me stay by yourÂ
side.”Â
Hot tears fell onto the back of my cold hand.Â
They burned like fire.Â
I sighed softly, my voice cold as ice.Â
“Rinaldo, the only thing I want is for you to disappear from my world.”Â
I pushed out of his arms and walked down theÂ
steps without looking back, disappearing intoÂ
Milan’s winding streets.Â
No one knew how long Rinaldo stood there.Â
After a long time, his hoarse voice echoed throughÂ
the empty church.Â
“I understand, Valentina.”
