Chapter 28.

Should I take it? This is what I wanted for a long time right? Freedom.

The only problem I have is money because Ernesto froze my accounts and right now an opportunity is staring at me, why am I hesitating?

" Take it" Alessio forces the card in my hands but I am finding it hard to accept it. The look in his eyes says it all. He doesn't want me to. Alessio wants me to trust him and stay.

No matter what decision I make, I know I can't change the fact that I love him, and he is probably feeling something for me too. So with a shaky breath, I take the card and place it back in his wallet. I am a lot of things but I can't bear the thought of hurting him.

I will give this one more chance and if it doesn't work, then I will look for a way out and that is without his money nor help.

" I don't want your money Alessio, I want something else" I murmur and his brows furrow in confusion.

" What is it" he whispers squeezing my waist and I sigh leaning forward.

" I want your heart"
