Regret

Alessandro’s POV The moment the car drove off, I instantly regretted not making sure he got into the car with me. I should have forced him, even though he hates that. I couldn’t care less. As long as I was sure he would be safe, that was all that mattered. All through work I kept checking my phone, checking the time, calling Roberta countless times to know if he was back home, but he wasn’t. And he wasn’t taking my calls either. Every unanswered ring tightened something sharp in my chest. I told myself it was only concern. Practical concern, nothing else. But that was a blatant lie. By the time the car finally pulled up in front of the house, I sprinted out before the driver had fully stopped, pushing the doors open hard enough that they swung wide and hit the walls. My eyes scanned the foyer, the hallway, every shadow for any sign of him. “Good evening, Mr. De Luca,” Roberta said cheerfully, walking out of the kitchen with a dish towel in her hands. “Is he home yet?” I asked

“That doesn’t prove anything, Bianca. You’re just being delusional.”I said it flatly, already walking back to the couch. The last thing I wanted was for this conversation to drag on. For me to accept, even for a second, that she might be right. I dropped onto the cushions with more force than necessary and pulled the laptop back onto my thighs, as if the glowing screen could somehow shield me from whatever truth she was about to unload.“Oh, I’m not the one who’s delusional, Ale. You are.” Bianca’s voice followed me, light but sharp. “Because despite everything that just transpired—especially with the way you were all up in his face, that didn’t come from a man who just wants to protect someone. That came from a man who was jealous about not seeing his lover for a couple of hours.”“He’s not my lover, Bee,” I interrupted quickly, the words scraping out between gritted teeth.She chuckled and settled down beside me on the couch, close enough that her shoulder brushed mine. Her eyes gl

“Okay, now you’re sounding just like Bianca, little one.”He scoffed, already standing, but I grabbed his wrist, tugging him back gently.“Listen to me. I’m not trying to lecture you or anything like that. I’m just trying to make you see that the world as you see it isn’t all that. Nobody wants to be owed. Nobody wants to be treated like a piece of furniture. People want to be heard, to be respected, and to be treated like they matter. And trust me when I say no one, not even someone who loves you, will stick around for so long, especially when they’re being treated like garbage.”He turned back to look at me, then a slow grin played across his lips. “So are you saying you’re in love with me?”I bit my lower lip, avoiding his eyes. “That’s not the point. You’re deviating.”“Oh yeah?” he said slowly, tilting my jaw to meet his eyes. “So what exactly is the point, Nicholas? What exactly are you saying?”Staring into those stormy, piercing blue eyes, heat crept up my cheeks. Although I t

I was still in shock. The text from Jake sat heavy in my heart and I couldn’t dislodge it no matter how many times I read it. I had no idea what would have warranted him acting this way, but I knew if I needed answers, I needed to see him—and I was going to do that before heading to school. Not after. Not later. Now.I gave Leo his address and instructed him to take me to his apartment. He obeyed without any objection, as the car slid through the early morning streets with practiced ease. By the time we pulled up outside the familiar building, my hands were already on the door handle.I dashed upstairs like I was being chased, my pulse thundering in my ears. By the time I reached his floor, I steadied myself, drew a slow breath, then knocked.There was no response the first time. So I knocked again. Firmer. “Jake, I know you’re in there. Please let me in. We need to talk.”“Go away, Nick. I have nothing to say to you. Just leave me alone.” His voice came a few minutes later—cold, and
