Chapter 53

• *ALBERT’S POV*
• I drove towards my father's villa, my thoughts drifting back to the kiss with Evelyn. The memory played on a loop in my mind, her delicate features illuminated by the soft light of the moon.
• She was into me; I could tell by the way she slowly lifted her face and pouted her mouth when the call interrupted us. It was exhilarating, a moment charged with an electric intensity that made my heart race. Her lips were soft and inviting, and for a fleeting second, everything else faded away. I wanted that kiss to last longer, to lose myself in the warmth and connection we shared.
