"Ava, are you ok," Angelo said once we got in the car, knowing I wasn't. How could I be after what I just found out? I will never forgive him.
"I am fine."
Angelo grabbed my face, gently making me look at him and said: "How many times have I said you can't lie to me, kitten?"
Before I could, I answer, Angelo kissed me, making me forget about everything and anything.
God, I am so fucked.
