Kelly deserved every single bit of misery he got, but Adrian couldn't fully explain the complicated knot of emotions tightening in his chest.
The truth was, the night Kelly kept calling and texting Adrian, Matteo had chosen not to tell Adrian everything that was said between them. The next morning, he only mentioned that he had replied to Kelly and warned him to stay away.
However, a few days later, Matteo's guilt finally caught up with him, and he chose to come clean about everything. He sat Adrian down and confessed that Kelly had been one of the ringleaders from his school days, the same group responsible for pushing Mark down the stairs.
He admitted to the cruel revenge he had taken by stealing Kelly's boyfriend away from him. Still, he also made one thing absolutely clear. Whatever existed between him and that man had ended the very night he first brought Adrian home with him, long before they officially became a couple.
