“As long as you never betray me, then yes. Forever.”
Back then, he had held her tightly, his voice thick with emotion.

Chapter 13
“I would never hurt you, Eve. You have to stay with me forever. Promise me.”
But at some point, something had changed.
Had it started with Rebecca’s pleading? With her tear–streaked face, her pitiful sobs?
Little by little, he had taken Evelyn’s presence for granted.

He had started thinking about the woman who once abandoned him. And that woman just so happened to be broken and just so
happened to need him.
He had been arrogant.
He had thought he could control everything.
But he had forgotten.
Evelyn wasn’t the type to beg for love.
She had no one else in the world, but she would rather disappear than live in torment.
And Evelyn knew him too well.
She knew that he would have stopped her if he had even the slightest clue she was leaving.
He would have done anything to keep her by his side.
So, she had erased every single trace of herself. She had made sure that he could never find her.
The realization sent a violent shudder through him.
But then, Matteo shoved down his despair.
No.
He clenched his fists.
“Eve, no way in hell am I letting you go.”
He repeated her name like a chant, his eyes filled with longing.
“Eve, I was wrong. I never should have treated you like that because of another woman. Do whatever you want to me. Yell at me,
hit me. I don’t care. Just don’t leave me.”
He had never begged for anything in his life.
Now, he was willing to drop to his knees if it meant bringing her back.
But she wasn’t here to hear him.
No matter how many times he apologized, it was useless. Evelyn was gone, and that was unacceptable.

Chapter 13
“Evelyn, I will find you. No matter where you run, no matter how far, our paths will cross again.”
Matteo’s eyes darkened.
He would never let go.
He would grovel. He would atone. He would force her to forgive him.
Evelyn would be his.
His entire body trembled as he pulled out his phone.
With reverence, he stared at her photo.
Then, as if it were the only thing keeping him alive, he pressed his lips against the screen.
