She’s very nice. We had dinner together and she’s fine.”
    “You had dinner with her? Wonderful!”
    “What were you going to do anyway? You were probably too busy shaking your butt with Fancelli in a club. What difference does it make?”
    “Oh no, Jen, I can’t accept it. Why do you interfere with my business? You have no idea the kind of damage it could create.”
    “Maybe you’re the one causing more damage than you think.”
    “What damage? You think I don’t know what I’m doing?”
    “You certainly know what you’re doing for your company. But you clearly don’t realize how it affects our relationship.”
    “You always need to overreact and exaggerate everything when it comes to us. You’re the one creating problems where they don’t exist.”
    “How do you know you’re not losing me?”
    “Am I?”
    Jennifer kept silent, glaring at Bruce with burning eyes. She was mad at him, furious to see him so neglecting and confident. He had no idea the kind of dilemma she was struggling with. He had no idea there was another man threatening his dominance over her heart.
    “You might be,” she said with defying eyes. She thought Bruce would try to know more and expected him to be shaken up. Instead, she unleashed his fury and instinctively stepped back to protect herself.
    “What the fuck does that mean?” he yelled. “First you interfere with my business and now, you’re telling me there’s someone else? What the hell do you do with your time? I thought you were supposed to work on your business, but apparently you’re busy looking for someone else!”
    “I’m not!”
    “Get out of here, Jen. I’m serious, get out!”
    “Bruce, wait...”
    “There’s no ‘Bruce wait’ anymore. I don’t want to see you in here. Out! Out!”
    Jennifer was about to ask him to calm down but the look in his eyes convinced her otherwise. He wasn’t going to listen to her. He had reached a point where nothing would change his mind.
    She turned around and walked out of his bedroom, feeling a knot in her throat and her stomach twisting. She felt sick and disgusted. It wasn’t fair but it wasn’t her problem anymore: she was done trying to be the perfect girlfriend. If Bruce wanted to be stupid, she wasn’t going to cope with it.
    She left without a word and felt the anger burning her cheeks and her ears. She was boiling deep inside and could feel little beads of sweat accumulating on her forehead, her nose and her temples.
    Fine. If he wants to party and stop taking care of me, I won’t force him. But if anything wrong happens, I know I’ve tried everything to prevent it. I’m done.
    Jennifer checked her cell-phone. It was almost noon and she had received a text message; it was Enzo. She hadn’t heard or felt anything, probably due to her argument with Bruce. Enzo told her where to meet and when. Her heart was pounding, pumping the adrenaline throughout her body. What should I do? She thought.
    Despite her fight with Bruce, she didn’t want to be too emotional and reckless. Yes, she was mad at him but she still had a tiny bit of self-control. She was furious but she also knew how weak she was. Deciding to meet with Enzo had been risky since the beginning, but now, things were even worse. Her emotions were completely messed up and her mind was fighting with her heart. Bruce was lucky and he didn’t even realize it. He deserved to suffer, just a little to wake him up.
    However, it was a very dangerous game she was willing to play. She wasn’t sure she could keep everything under control and keep enough distance with Enzo. It was a scary thing to plan. She wanted to teach Bruce a lesson and make him jealous, just to make him stop acting like a silly boy; and at the same time, she was worried about her own intentions. Did she really want to make Bruce jealous? Or did she simply want to release the unspeakable attraction she still felt for Enzo? Was she trying to find an excuse to let go and fall between
