Noah's POV:

Tonight's events kept replaying in my mind.
they kept haunting me.
I kept drinking.
It wasn't helping.

With every sip of alcohol, I had hoped my mind would drift away, I had hoped I'd stop thinking about Adriana, about how Luca proposed to her. And it's all Leonardo's fault, it's all my fault.

I can't let this marriage happen, unless Adriana agrees, then I have no power to do anything, to change anything.

Luca is doing her wrong, all for business. Leo was clear, for this deal to happen, he wanted a bigger name for Luca, and if he married a Lockwood, this would make his name bigger, it would hit every news headline, every tv gossip show,the wedding of the year, Lockwood plus Di Vaio. Only then, only if Adriana agrees, the business deal is on.

It could have been me, it could have been me proposing, but it was too late, I couldn't f*cking do anything

I almost told her I love her

But now, I still can. I don't give a damn about that business deal if the price is Adriana and her future. If the price is her. She won't be happy, I know Luca, his devious ways, he knew about this all along, this is why that bastard took her away in the first place, planning all along, to make her fall for him then use her, use her name for business.

She deserves better, she's a f*cking diamond, too precious, too unique, she deserves the world. And Luca won't give it to her

She doesn't deserve me either, I treated her like an object, I hurt her, I caused her pain, and that is something I won't ever forgive myself for. I was a devil, a monster, and she was an angel with broken wings, ones that I had broken

Maybe it's too late, maybe she already said yes and now, right now they're together celebrating, making love, doing whatever the f*ck they want, while I'm here drowning my sorrow with alcohol

My grip on the glass tightened as I thought more about them

Anger, rage, jealousy.

I was blinded by jealousy and anger that I banned Adriana from ever coming here, I was determined not to ever see her face here, if she agrees to marry Luca. I was simply hurt. A feeling I wasn't used to

That was completely idiotic, this is why I need to talk to her, I want to know her decision

I threw the glass, it flew across the room then hit the wall and it shattered into thousands of tiny pieces

The door suddenly flung open, catching my attention, I looked up and fire ignited within me, rage took all over me

I got up from my seat, surprised I could still stand still after chugging three vodka bottles

"F*cking hell, what are you doing here" I said in a low threatening tone, looking at him straight in the eyes, with so much hatred and disgust

"Such a warm greeting hermano, I'm here to talk" he simply said, a smug smile forming on his lips, his eyes then fell to the floor, to where the shards of glass were sprawled and he looked back up at me

"Pretty aggressive"

"Shut the f*ck up, and start talking Luca, I'm not in the mood for your childish acts, quit stalling and get to the point"

"Hah, sure. But first.." He said then he opened the door again and shouted "SOMEONE COME CLEAN THIS MESS HERE" then he turned back to me

I rolled my eyes at him and plopped back down on my seat
