To him, she was nothing more than a pawn. A piece to move, a weakness to exploit, something he could break before she ever became a problem. Azzurra refused to become the pawn he expected.

"Tell me you don't mean that." She just looks at me with no emotion behind her eyes while a tear rolls down her cheek. "Julie..." My voice cracks around her name.
