"If I keep you close, you'll become like me. If I let you go, they'll tear you apart. Either way, you bleed. So tell me, 𝘮𝘪𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢-what's worth bleeding for?" He asked, gaze piercing through me.
"Then let me bleed, see if I'd survive. I can handle myself just fine, Enzo. I'm not a child." I protested. "I've bled once and I'll bleed again if it means living stronger after."
"You... Are an insufferable woman, Isabel."

But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat.
