Excerpt:
"Bella, you don't see your beauty, do you?" He says into my neck. "What beauty? I'm plain, average, nothing noticeable." "Don't you dare say anything like that." I felt his hands pull me closer to him. "But, it's the truth. I can't fathom what you see in me, Signore." "I see pure beauty, bella. Carina, you're beautiful to me and that's all that matters."
