Veronica's POV
"Does this question really matter? If I say yes, will you let me go then?" I grabbed the chance to ask, though honestly, he was the only man I'd ever been with.
Leonardo fixed his gaze on me, staring without blinking for what felt like forever. His eyes grew watery from not blinking. His chest seemed to ache, like he couldn't catch his breath.
He studied my clothes and my living situation, his expression turning pained and suspicious. I could almost see the questions forming in his mind: Had I really fallen for another man? Was he younger, wealthier?
I watched Leonardo struggle to push down what looked like complete devastation threatening to consume him.
He took a shaky breath before speaking. "I don't give a damn who you've been with. Cut all ties with them from this moment on. I was your first, my child will be your first too, so you belong with me!"
