The Billionaire's Daughter novel Chapter 32

Romano

Taking care of Saphira was my lifelong desire even if she hated me. She is still hot with fever and I am concerned that she might have gotten an infection due to her head wounds. When we arrive at Morocco, I will take her to the hospital, but for now, we have to rest.

I was so tired that I slept right away but my military training helped me keep alert even in a state of rest. Having slept for only few hours, it is nearly 1 am and I heard something shuffle behind me.

“Romano. Put your gun away. It’s me.”

I will always recognize that voice.

“Trey?”

When I saw my comrade whom I treated as a brother, we hugged just like old times.

I felt relief and fear all at the same time. Relieved that it was him who found me but fear that he will take Saphira away from me. Knowing Trey, he is always on the good side. He will never allow me to keep Saphira.

“Hellow brother. How have you been? You know why I am here right?”

“Trey. I can’t give her back. She’s all I have.”

“That is not true. You have me. You always have me. You still have your family. Why did you keep us away?”

“The pain. It’s too much. Remembering all the things from the past is too much for me. I need a new life. Saphira will be my new life.”

“Romano. I know how much you have suffered, I was there, and I was with you. Please help me save you from this. I know you want to be happy but you will never be happy when you use force and violence to achieve your desires.”

“I tried. I tried to be good. To prove to her that I love her but she doesn’t see me. Just like Carina she doesn’t want me.”

“Carina is not worthy of your love Romano. Even this Saphira. If she doesn’t see the good person that you are, both of them are not worthy. So please, give up and start a new life. Perhaps there is someone more deserving than the two of them. “
