Chloe grabbed Luca's arm, her fingers digging wildly into his white shirt. "Luca! Tell me he's lying! You told me this villa was worth five million dollars! You promised me we were moving in today!"

Luca took a step forward, his voice cracking with desperation. "Jessi, listen to me. This is a misunderstanding! We can talk about this!"
