"I wish I never met you." The words slip from my lips with sharp finality as I look him dead in the eyes. He pulled me into this chaotic, twisted world of his-I was better off alone before he ever came along.

He doesn't even flinch. Instead, a smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. "And yet, here you are, amore mio. You won't leave. You're too tied to me. Too wrapped up in this to walk away. So don't waste your breath saying things that even you don't believe-it won't change a thing." His voice is calm, his eyes burning with something far stronger than defiance.

I hate that he's right. I hate how much I feel for him, how deep this has sunk into my soul.

"I hate you," I spit, my voice trembling, hoping-praying-for some reaction that shows I've managed to get under his skin.

But his lips curve into a lazy smile, the kind that makes my chest ache. "I love you too, baby."

Of course he says that. Of course.
