Defeated By Love Novel

"Contraception will do you well for our future encounters Mio dolce amore.” He says sternly as he runs his hands through my hair. “Contraception?” I pull back and look up at him. “I thought this was just a one-off thing.” I frown. I watch his eyes change with anger flaring through them. In a barely controlled lowered tone and through clenched teeth. “This was never just a one-off thing for me Vanessa.” He huffs. “I want to continue to find out where this chemistry between us leads. Even if you are prepared to drive us into a train wreck!" My name's Vanessa Maddison. I once was a lonely soul with nothing to look forward to. I have an amazing best friend called Chrissy. She's been the anchor to my sinking ship, desperately trying to breathe hope back into my lifeless heart. My existence was a battle and it was a war I was slowly starting to lose. That was until Luca Venturi walks into my life like a raging storm. He has the ability to explode everything up around me, like a bullet-shaped torpedo gliding through the ocean hitting its target. Me!. He tells me we have something special together, something raw and beautiful. I was hesitant to let him into my heart, and when I did... I soon learned about the web of lies my love for him was built upon. That something he described as special, raw, and beautiful had nothing to do about us. The life I thought I knew was a lie, the man I fell in love with wasn't real, and that something special, raw and beautiful was taken from me a long time ago and I didn't even know it existed.”
