"Nic..." she sobs over the somewhat static line.
"Sweetheart..." I breathe out as my voice breaks a little with a softness unfamiliar to me since she's been gone.
"Nic..." her voice cracks with sobs, "...how could you? I thought... I thought you loved me and wanted..." She cuts herself off with quiet sobs filling the silence as the few pieces of my heart that her absence left behind break further.
"Ari baby, please... tell me what you're talking about. Where are you? I need to get you," I plead with desperation as my heart beats wildly in my chest. Her end becomes silent again until I hear the saddest scoff, she's ever made from those sweet pouty lips of hers.
"I know Dominic," she quietly croaked.

🔥A Love Worth burning For🔥
This Story Mostly Told from Dante & Aurelia's POV " I wasn't looking for love. Not after Annalisa. Not after what she turned me into. On the outside, I'm still Dante De Luca, cold, controlled, from one of Rome's wealthiest families. But inside? I'm barely holding together the pieces she didn't break. Then came Aurelia. Her laugh. Her eyes. The way she says my name like it means something. She's Annalisa's Best friend. And Worse... she's taken. But when I'm with her... I feel like me again. Not the version everyone expects. Just Dan.. the name only she calls me. She should stay away I should walk away But I can't Because when she looks at me like that I'd set the whole world on fire just to hold her once more. This isn't the kind of love people forgive. It's the kind that burns. But some things... are worth burning for.Complete
