Love isn’t a trap I want to fall into again. Sure, it looks good on paper. It even looks great on my parents. But love is not for me.
I tried it once, and all it left me with was an empty shell where my heart used to be. That’s what she did when she ripped it out and crushed it beneath her six-inch stiletto.
Daniella De Bellis. The one who got away.
Or maybe she was the one I let go. Because if I’m being honest, if I’d really wanted to keep her, I would have. But I didn’t fight for her. Instead, I let her put an ocean between us and pretended it didn’t affect me.
Now she’s back in my city, and the heart she ripped out all those years ago has started beating again. I’m not sure the organ—or my soul—can survive her a second time.

Las Vegas is the last place I want to be. It’s also the last place I ever thought I’d step foot in again. Especially after the way I left things years ago.
Hurting people isn’t fun for me, even less so when it’s people I really care about. It’s my fault he hates me. Carlo Bianchi Junior, CJ. I went and fell in love with him, knowing that there was never going to be any hope for a relationship.
He wanted me to stay, and I left. I went home to my family, putting an ocean between both of our broken hearts. As much as I broke his, I broke my own more.
I’m back, though. And all those feelings I thought I had buried deep down are rising right to the surface.
He says he hates me. I know he doesn’t. I know he still loves me. And this time, when I take his heart, I’m not going to be the one to destroy it.
