When morning came, and the sun rose to greet the new day, I was not willing to get out of bed. I stared anxiously at my phone, still nude under my covers as I tried my best not to freak out.
At first, I thought the voice I had heard last night when Giovani left was just a trick of my mind, but the moment I woke up with a text message on my phone, I knew it wasn’t.
‘Alessandro caught me leaving last night. I told him I was fixing the sink, but Hhe suspects the truth.’ That was all Giovani wrote to me, but it was more than enough to send panic bells ringing in my head.
He knew.
Fuck.
I groaned, throwing my hands over my face as I buried myself into the blankets. I didn’t want to get up today. I didn’t want to have to face Alessandro and try to pretend he didn’t know I was fucking his cousin.
If I could be anyone but me just for today, that would be great.
“Livi!” I heard the loud voice of Tallon from somewhere downstairs. “Breakfast is ready!”
