Defending His Bride

Alessia's POV

"Apologize to Alessia. Now."

Viviane’s face hardened, and for a long moment, she just stood there. Then, finally, she turned to me.

"I'm sorry," she mumbled. The words were flat and had no sincerity.

Rocco only nodded once before turning back to Kiara.

"Now apologize."

Kiara’s eyes filled instantly, those angry tears threatening to fall. "I…"

"Apologize," he repeated, firmer.
