Forgive Me, Love by Andra Vrabie

Serena
Lorenzo Giovanni Moretti killed my father.
There are explanations. There are reasons. And there are secrets I don’t even want to know.
None of them change what happened.
Grief doesn’t care about logic. It doesn’t care about justice. It only cares about what was taken. And something in me broke the night he pulled the trigger.
So I ran. From the grief. From the lies. From the blue eyes that still haunt me every time I close mine.
But the world outside Lorenzo Moretti is darker than I ever imagined. And when I find myself trapped in a nightmare no amount of money or power can fix, I realize something terrifying;
The only man capable of saving me…
Is the same man who destroyed me.
And I don’t know if I want to be saved by him.

Lorenzo
I did what had to be done.
I knew it would cost me. I just didn’t expect the cost to be her.
Serena walking away was her right.
Serena disappearing was something else entirely.
Now every unanswered call, every closed door, every mile between us feels like a threat.
There are forces at play she doesn’t see. Decisions already made. Lines already crossed.
And I am done standing still.
I won’t justify myself.
I won’t beg.
But I will fix this.
Whatever it takes.
