The apartment fell into complete silence after the truth shattered between them.Rain continued crashing violently against the glass walls while lightning flashed across Velmora's skyline, throwing shadows through the dark room every few seconds.But Aria barely noticed any of it anymore.Because her entire world had already collapsed.
She stood near the center of the room completely frozen, tears falling endlessly down her face while Rafael remained only a few feet away from her looking like a man slowly dying in front of her eyes.
Neither of them moved.Neither knew how to.Everything hurt too much now.Her parents were dead because of the mafia world.
Because of Daniel and Rafael.
And somehow… despite all of it…She still loved him.
That realization disgusted her so much she suddenly let out a broken laugh through tears.
Rafael's chest tightened violently hearing it.
"Aria…"
"Stop saying my name like everything's okay," she whispered shakily.
