**Chapter 263 p>
Savannah reclined slowly, her body shifting until she lay on her side. Her voice, once vibrant, now emerged as a mere whisper, frayed and delicate. “I meant what I said. I’m going to Italy p>
I frowned, positioning myself beside her, the weight of her words settling heavily in the air. “Sav, you shouldn’t even be concerned about Chloe. Why would you risk everything for a trip like that, especially for her p>
She hesitated, her gaze drifting away momentarily, as if searching for the right words. Then, with a softening expression, she turned back to me. “Because she’s still my sister, Roman. And mostly because my mom mentioned her just the other day when I was showing her my ring.” Her voice quivered, breaking slightly as she continued. “It… it made me resent Chloe a little more at first. It’s like no matter what I achieve, I’ll always be in second place. There’s always a larger space for Chloe in everyone’s heart p>
Her words struck me harder than I anticipated, like a sudden gust of wind that leaves you breathless. I watched as she averted her gaze, blinking rapidly to stave off the tears that threatened to spill. “But then I realized how selfish that sounded. Mom’s been through enough with the cancer. No mother should have to face death without knowing where her child is. So I have to go. Even if it kills me p>
I rolled toward her, inching closer until our foreheads nearly brushed. “You’re not going anywhere alone,” I murmured softly, my resolve firm. “If you’re going to Italy, then I’m going too p>
Her breath caught in her throat, and a single tear traced a path down her cheek. “Roman, you don’t have to p>
“I do.” I gently wiped the tear away with my thumb, the warmth of her skin igniting a fierce protectiveness within me. “Because if this man is responsible for what happened to Chloe, I want to be there when he pays for it. And if she’s alive…” I let out a heavy sigh, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on me. “If she’s alive, then you’ll need someone there to keep you from losing yourself p>
She looked up at me then, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, her mouth trembling as if struggling to find the right words. “You’d really do that for me p>
“I’d do anything for you,” I replied, my voice low and earnest. “You should know that already p>
Her lip quivered, and this time the tears fell freely, a silent cascade that spoke volumes. She pressed her palm against my chest, burying her face there, shaking silently as I held her close.
I wrapped my arms around her, drawing her in until I could feel the rhythm of her heartbeat syncing with mine. “Don’t cry,” I murmured into her hair, inhaling the familiar scent of her. “There might be room for Chloe in everyone else’s heart, but not in mine. Never in mine p>
She sniffled, glancing up at me through her damp lashes, vulnerability etched across her features.
“My heart belongs to you, Savannah,” I whispered, brushing my thumb gently over her cheek, savoring the moment. “It always has. It always will. You’ve completely ruined me for anyone else p>
A weak laugh, half sob and half breath, escaped her lips. “You really mean that p>
I smiled faintly, the corners of my mouth lifting in a way that felt genuine. “You think I’d say something that dramatic at two in the morning if I didn’t p>
Her small chuckle was a balm to my soul, and she wiped her face with the back of her hand, the tension in the air easing just a fraction. I pressed a soft kiss to her hairline, breathing her in, feeling as if I could lose myself in her presence.
Her arms tightened around me once more, a silent plea for reassurance. “Thank you,” she whispered. “For loving me the way you do. No one’s ever loved me this way p>
“Don’t thank me.” I pressed a gentle kiss to her temple, my heart swelling with affection. “Just don’t ever doubt it p>
For a while, we lay in a peaceful silence, the only sound being her uneven breaths. My hand rested on her back, tracing small, soothing circles as I stared up at the ceiling, my mind racing with thoughts that refused to settle.
Capri.
Zane Rubio had fled across the globe. That kind of move wasn’t spontaneous; it was calculated. Designed to appear spontaneous while hiding a deeper truth. He was concealing something, or perhaps someone. And if Chloe was alive and tangled in this web… then the game we thought we were playing had shifted dramatically.
Savannah shifted closer, her small hand seeking mine beneath the sheets, her warmth a comforting presence.
“You think he really did it?” she asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper. “You think he hurt her p>
I hesitated, weighing my words carefully. “I think,” I said slowly, “that people like Zane don’t run unless they have a loud mouth they can’t trust to stay quiet. Press the right buttons, and he’ll sing like a fucking canary p>
She fell silent for a moment, the determination in her eyes growing stronger. Then, with a fierce whisper, she declared, “Then I’ll find him. No matter what it takes p>
There was a chilling resolve in her tone, the kind that could push someone past the limits of reason.
I kissed her forehead once more, closing my eyes and letting the warmth of her presence wash over me. “Then we’ll find him together p>
But even as I spoke, I couldn’t shake the unease gnawing at me—was it the man hiding in Italy that troubled me more, or the fierce fire igniting within the woman beside me?
Because when Savannah set her heart on revenge, there was no turning back. That was the very path that had led us to this moment. When Savannah sought vengeance, she would stop at nothing to achieve it.
And God help anyone who dared to stand in her way.
As the weight of Savannah’s determination settled between us, I felt a profound shift in the air, a promise forged in the fires of shared pain and unyielding loyalty. The emotional arc of our journey had brought us to this pivotal moment, where love intertwined with vengeance, and the stakes had never been higher. Savannah’s vulnerability, laid bare in her tears, had transformed into an unbreakable resolve. I could see the flicker of a fierce spirit igniting within her, a force that would not only propel her forward but also challenge the very fabric of our reality. We were no longer just two souls intertwined by affection; we were partners bound by a shared mission, ready to confront the darkness that loomed ahead.
Together, we stood on the precipice of the unknown, our hearts beating in sync as we prepared to face whatever awaited us in Italy. The journey ahead would be fraught with danger, but it was a path we would navigate side by side. I felt an overwhelming sense of purpose swell within me, knowing that my love for Savannah would guide us through the shadows. As we embarked on this quest for truth and justice, I realized that our bond had transcended mere romance; it was a fierce alliance forged in the crucible of adversity. With each passing moment, I knew that no matter the outcome, we would emerge from this journey irrevocably changed, our hearts forever intertwined in a tapestry of love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of redemption.
