A Quest For Vengeance
*Excerpt*
My gaze met Sergio's. He didn't look away. I couldn't look away either. It felt like there was an invisible magnet pulling us towards each other.
He looked away, breaking us from the trance. "Are you sure you're okay, Nicole?"
"Come inside."
He shook his head. "I was worried, and—"
"Come inside, let's talk."
He shook his head again, unyieldingly. "We're already talking."
"Are you scared?" I asked in a challenging voice, my gazed fixed on him. "What are you so scared of?"
"Nicole..."
"To answer your question, no, Sergio, I'm not okay."
"What's bothering you?"
The vulnerability in his eyes towards me was palpable. It was my chance to act. I couldn't afford to waste it. "You," I replied, my gaze still boring into his. "And your fiancee. I couldn't bear watching you together."
Sergio swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing.
"I was jealous, Sergio."
