Chapter１９

Nicola

Fury coursed through my body like a river. It was only natural for Mathew to look for me. If my closest friend had been in charge, she never would have let me run away from my family. Even though he was aware of how much I detested it, I was conscious of the fact that it had been very self-centered of me to leave him in that torment.

Although he would never publicly confess it, he had the same feelings of animosity for our mafia way of life that I did. I had known him for a sufficient amount of time to be able to see that his icy demeanor served as a barrier between him and his more unstable feelings. The rough aspects of his personality masked a grief that was buried so deeply that he would never reveal it in public, maybe not even to himself.

Even while I couldn't bring myself to hate him, I could become quite angry at him for preventing me from escaping.
