AURELIA'S POV:
The first tears slowly roll down my cheek, and I do everything in me to hide it from Alessandro. I can't have him thinking that I'm weak and that my words are bigger than my actions.
But soon, I can't hide it anymore. The tears pour down my cheeks in torrents as I lower the gun. Why? Why did it have to be this way? Why did they hurt me?!
"Why? Why did you do this to me?" I ask in a tone filled with raw emotion as I stare the lady down.
Alessandro steps closer to me and quietly takes the gun from my hand. With his hands on my shoulders, he gently leads me away from the room.
The sound of a maniac laughter stops me in my tracks though.
"You– you dare to ask me why?" The lady says as I turn back to her with a frown of confusion on my face.
