It was obsession at first sight.
The moment I saw her I knew I had to make her mine.
Turns out she needed me more than I needed her.
For the first time, Valentina and her cousin, Rose, are allowed to attend a society event. Even if it means that they have to attend with Sal, Valentina’s fiance and her father’s business partner. Rose spends all morning hemming a dress for Valentina, only for them to be requested to swap the dress before they are allowed to leave the house. Sal’s wandering hands in the limo are enough to make her want to vomit but when he turns his attention to Rose, Valentina knows she must protect her cousin from him.
Adrian is kickstarting the season with the first party at The Holland Hotel, a season in which he is hoping to find his queen. Spotting two young women he doesn’t know he watches them as he spies Sal making his way over to them and they stiffen at his presence. Dealing with an incident he bumps into Valentina by the restrooms and they have an all-too-brief introduction. One he can’t quite forget.
Having been spotted talking to Adrian, Valentina is put in her place by Sal. Something that has her hiding away for the next week. But when she emerges she finds that she hasn’t protected Rose as best as she thought she had.
