Chapter 158
LIVIA-
I heard the commotion before I saw it.
Raised voices in the lobby. A manager saying sir like he was trying to calm someone down.
I walked over and stopped cold.
Roman.
Security had him by both arms. He was still in Titans gear, one hand swelling like he had put it through something hard.
“What room is Luca Vescari in?” He demanded of them. “Tell me the number. Now.”
I gasped the second I realized what was happening and immediately ran forward to stop it from getting
worse.
“Let him go. It’s a misunderstanding. Please. He’s with me.”
The taller guard did not loosen his grip. “He has to calm down first. He keeps shouting for Mr. Vescari’s
room number.”
“I know that, I am the one he’s looking for.” I tried to inform him.
Roman raised both hands, jaw locked, the image of a man who had not calmed down at all and was only pretending. “I’m okay now. Just let me go.”
They let him go slowly like they expected him to start running for the elevator.
I grabbed his arm and pulled him toward a side corridor, away from the front desk, away from phones. Away from people.
His muscle was tensed under my fingers. This was the same body that had had me against a locker hours ago. I shivered at the reminder.
“What on earth are you doing?” My voice shook.
Panic and anger took over.
“You could have gotten yourself in a lot of trouble.” I snapped. “Do you know if anyone recognized you and took videos?”
He narrowed his eyes. “Where the fuck is Luca?
Carry me to him.”
I gaped at him. “Roman-”
“I want his room number. Now.”

“Can you please calm down.”
did not He started examining my body instead. Eyes down my arms, my throat, my legs, everywhere that he could see. His swollen hand hovered like he might turn me around and look some more. His expression was furious and hungry at once. It made my stomach flip.
“Did he touch you? Did he hurt you? Force himself onto you?”
“Nothing like that happened. Can you please relax. There was another woman in the room with us. His best friend. All he did was ask me if I wanted something to eat. That was all.”
My words seemed to anger him more. He stepped in. The corridor shrank as I suddenly found it hard to breathe.
“Do you expect me to believe he didn’t try to touch you with that reputation that he has?”
I shrugged, even though my pulse was a mess. “It’s the truth. He told me I was the first girl he’s felt-”
I probably should not have been telling him this.
“What? Finish it. What did he tell you?”
The hall was too narrow for the look on his face. I could smell him. It made my knees feel weak.
I gave in.
“He said he couldn’t stop thinking about me. That I was the first girl he’s actually considering having something serious with.”
