"I think you broke him," Vee said.
Luca's lips curved slowly into a crooked smirk. "It is what I do."
The smugness in his tone was completely unapologetic.
Veronica narrowed her eyes at him. "Oh, don't look so smug about that."
Luca's smirk deepened, the mischievous glint in his eyes returning. "Why not?" he said, one brow lifting with theatrical pride. "I broke your ex boyfriend? Tell me what other achievement beats that."
Veronica burst out laughing.
"God, I missed that," Luca exhaled heavily.
His teasing expression softened as he looked at her like she was the most extraordinary thing in the world.
And to him… she was.
"You have no idea what you do to me, Bambola," he said quietly. "You make me feel like I am carrying my heart in my hands."
Veronica's laughter faded slowly.
He looked dangerously sincere like she truly held some invisible power over him.
