Chapter 1 - Found You!

PRESENT DAY 

( after worldwide lockdown )

Adriano 

(PoV)

I can finally see her, the object of my obsession. I've waited so long for this moment, hunted for her all over the world.

She thought she could escape me, runaway from what we have, thought that I would eventually get tired of chasing her. Well, she thought wrong. And now the chase is finally coming to an end. I'm almost too excited to wait! One more day I tell myself, one more day and then she'll be all mine.

THE NEXT DAY 

I wake up with the sun and admire the soft orange-yellow hue as it rises. My full length windows give me the perfect view of this scenic country and all from the comfort of my own bed. I can't help but smile thinking to myself that this will be the last time I'll be sleeping in it alone.

Walking through the streets of Marseille I finally see why she chose to hide in the south of France. I spend most of my walk admiring my beautiful surroundings until my eyes land on something even more beautiful, her.

She looks so peaceful sitting there, reading her book. She's wearing a blue cocktail dress with some floral design. Suddenly I find myself walking towards her almost involuntarily, it's as if my legs have developed a mind of their own and within minutes I find myself sitting across from the girl I haven't seen in 3 years, the same girl that once destroyed my buisness and almost destroyed me.

"Hello mi amor" I whisper to shocked eyes.
