I couldnt help but smile , which made his eyebrows furrow in confusion . This was obvious , wasnt it ? That she would return , that she would threaten us . Its the consequence of her escape that day at the abandoned building . I ran my fingers along his jawline , feeling the tension there . But theres something else … What ? The way she wrote this letter . The specific mentions of you , the focus on our marriage rather than just me … I shifted in his lap to face him fully . I think her hatred for you runs deeper than her obsession with destroying me . This isnt just about me anymore its about you too . Maybe even more about you than me .

The name Camilla DeLuca meant nothing to me until she entered your life . Even now , with all my resources , I cant find any link betwee us before that day . But she clearly thinks youve wronged her somehow . I pressed my paln against his chest , feeling his heartbeat . The way she spat those words at you … This is for everything you stole from me . What could she have meant ? I wish I knew , cara . His hand covered mine . It would make eliminating this threat much simpler if I understood her motivation . I took a deep breath , my fingers still tracing patterns on his chest . Lorenzo … theres something Ive wanted to ask you for months now , but I kep putting it off . We were so happy , and I didnt want to disturb that peace . His hand stilled over mine . What is it ?
