*Elio*
I let out a disgruntled groan from my chest when I heard the continuous buzz of my phone going off. The room was pitch black as Cat remained curled up beside me with her face buried in the bed covers.
My sight was barely visible as I struggled to find my phone on the bedside table in the dark. And my head was still aching from the anger and stress of seeing Alexi waiting outside of the building yesterday.
I hated how easily he was able to trigger my anger while he managed to remain so calm and collected.
‘That smug bastard,’ I had snarled to myself. ‘Who the fuck does he think he is?’
I was so angry I could barely see straight, even after he had left. Did he seriously believe that I didn’t care about Caterina’s safety? The man went out of his way to see Cat and tried to steal a moment alone with her, more than once.
Why?
I didn’t miss the stolen glance he’d shot in her direction right before he headed to his own car. It felt like a block of lead in my stomach.
