148 Love can take it all (1/2)
Veronica was in a bad mood after the dinner. She was like that after seeing the man who killed her mother. Tony notice it since he's been observant of her mood. They will soon get married so he has to know her more. Even though she might be a killer, he will still marry her. No matter what her past is and what she is, he already accepted it and had thought the possible worst about her.
”You okay?”
”Yeah.”
”Okay. You don't look like one.” He drove out from the parking lot to the penthouse.
”Drop me off in my unit.”
”Why?” He glance at her.
”I'm sleeping there.”
He didn't say anything at all. Does she want to be alone tonight? Well, he didn't want to.
”Then, I'll sleep with you.”
”There's no need. You can go back to your house.” She said it monotonously like a robot.
”You don't want me anymore?”
”Not at this time.” Her voice was cold as ice. How did she become like that in a snap? Well, women and their mood swings.
They were both quiet as Tony drove her to her unit. He park by the corner of the building and follow her inside. Veronica was ignoring him like he was an air. He didn't want to leave her alone. He didn't want to be alone tonight or the following days or never. He just want her but he doesn't know how to understand her situation.
”I can sleep on the couch.” He said for the first time since they enter the room.
Veronica look at him and almost smack her head. But Veronica's mood wasn't just because of Francisco but an unknown message from someone. It wasn't black mail but a message that will make her worried like hell.
Dearest Lily,
Catastrophe will never see you anymore.
Cupid.
Those words meant something. She didn't know what happened to Catriona. It might be worst.
”Come here.” Tony pull her to his chest and pats her head. ”What are you worrying about?”
”Please go home.” She said.
”I can sleep on the sofa so I won't bother you.”
”Tony…”
”Just let me stay, okay? I mean no harm.”
Veronica did let him stay. He sleep on the bed beside her, but she's sitting and leaning on the headboard thinking about Catriona and the message. What did Eros do this time to her sister? She understand that he was obsessed with her but why? Why does he have to hurt her? She couldn't help it but to call Catriona it was ringing and she walk to the window.
”Hello?”
”Tell me what he did to you.” She said in low voice.
”I am fine. You'll know soon. I will be home in a few week. But don't tell Enzo, please.”
