NovelUSAMafia Kings: Valentino: Chapter 97 So I went.
Like the stupid, pathetic fool I was...
I went.
Right after I talked to Alessandra, I packed and checked out. Then I hailed a taxi.

And then, the next day at 11:30, I walked through the town towards the chapel, with Alessandra's words echoing in my ears: You should go see him tomorrow... even if it's only to say goodbye.
I made my decision.
If he would run away with me, then everything would be perfect.
It would be a fairy tale ctrue.
But that wasn't what I thought would happen.
Though it madesick to my stomach, I promised myself that he if refused to leave with me...
That if he was actually going to go through with marrying her...
Then this would be the last tI saw him.
I would leave Sicily and probably die of a broken heart...
But I would end it.

My entire body was trembling - From desire or fear, I didn't know which.
Then he said my n- "Caterina?" And it was the most beautiful music I'd ever heard - Because he said it.
I walked up the steps and paused, my heart beating wildly in my chest.
He turned. All I could see of him was a silhouette in the red and golden light of a stained glass window - But I would have known that profile anywhere.
"Val," I whispered, my heart both breaking and full of love.
