As the driver parked the car in the garage I saw Vincenzo's car as well. He is back home which took me by surprise because it is not his time to come back. Drawing a deep breath and preparing myself to talk to him I stepped ahead. As I entered the home I found Kevin passing through. He gave me a reassuring smile as soon as he saw me before disappearing into his room. The words that he said to me at the college repeated in my head. As I scanned the house, I couldn't spot her anywhere. My heart felt a mix of relief and anxiety, hoping I wouldn't have to face her just yet.The silence all around the house was not giving me good vibes.

122. Tit for tat

Roseline's POV"Rose," Vincenzo called.I reflexively started to stand up, assuming he was addressing me, but then I realized he was talking to his lover, the woman he now cherished, not me.

I couldn't sleep until he returned but what hurts me is that he now sleeps at a hand distance from me. He doesn't cuddle the way he used to.
