/Riccardo's POV/
She is dropping her idea of revenge! I can't believe it. I thought she would never stop but, here she is, telling her friend that she would rather have a safe life with me. She chose me!
I can't even express how happy I am. I mean, I know this means a lot to her. She has been waiting for this for eight years and dropping it would be so much for her. But I'm glad she chose us.
It was a moment of sheer relief for both of us. The weight of vengeance that had consumed her for so long was finally lifted, and in its place, a newfound sense of peace and contentment settled upon us. As I looked into her eyes, I could see the transformation taking place within her. The fire that once burned so fiercely with the desire for retribution was now replaced with a gentle warmth, a flicker of hope for a brighter future.
