Chapter 90 Evangelina's Heart

• Evangelina's POV
• I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, every beat echoing in the stillness of the room as Aemilio's hands gently traced the curve of my jaw. His touch was so soft, so deliberate, as if every inch of me was something he cherished, something he needed to memorize. I swallowed hard, trying to calm the wild rush of emotions that had taken over me, but there was no controlling it—no controlling the way I felt when he was this close, this present.
• His gaze was locked onto mine, searching for something in my eyes that made me feel both vulnerable and safe. It was as if he was looking for confirmation, asking if I was truly here with him, if this was what I wanted. And all I could do was nod, the words stuck in my throat, because nothing I could say would ever be enough to explain how much I needed this, how much I needed *him*.
