41. Christine
"Why do we know, but act like we don't?"
~Seeker
My head throbbed with an intense pain, I felt as if everything was uncontrollably spiriling around me same as my life was.
I stumbled towards the bed and sat at it's edge. My hands clasped my head in a strong grip trying to surpass this feeling.
"Valentina" I hear a distant voice call me but I am to concentrated to shut down the questions that are screaming in my mind.
"Valentina!" The voice sounds panicked now, I feel a pair of soft hands reaching for my own and pulling them away from my head.
The soft hands then grab my shoulder and give me a small jerk, "w-what?" I say in a slight daze before adjusting my gaze on the intruding person.
"Christine!" Her name comes out in shock much to my dismay "you ok?" She asks cupping my cheek. H

The Agreement 44. Killing Her
"Tears dry, but the pain drowns."~Perry Poetry1 week later..I was laying down on my bed with a small smile on my face, my fingers playing with the dark locks of my husband whose half body was resting on top of mine.I glanced down at his naked upper body, his head was resting above my breasts using them as a pillow. The sight made me blush furiously.My fingers tangled and untangled between his soft locks. He was in deep slumber as I continued peering at him like a creep but I didn't care.It was rare to see a calm Alessandro, even during his sleep he used to have this attentive aura around him, a slight movement from me and he was up.But these past couple of days he's been sleeping soundly as if a weight has been lifted from his shoulder.

Especially after the episode that went between us in his study.I was not angry at him, maybe a little disappointed but not angry. There is no doubt that he walked me to my death but there is also no denying that he saved me. As I always say I am a rational thinker. I never take decisions based on quick emotions.I have a habit to ponder over everything before coming to a decision. Like the day I decided to marry Alessandro, it was not a decision made in rush.No, I thought about every possible aspect of the situation, if there was a way to get my family out of it alive. When I concluded that

"I'm trying my best"~UNKNOWNDarkness.That is the first thing my mind registered, I try moving my eyes but feel a weight on them that was stopping them. I try to focus on my surroundings, I realise that my closed eyes are the reason behind the darkness.I try to open them now, my eyeballs move beneath my shut eye lids. Slowly my eyes flutter open, I open them cautiously in fear of burning them by some sudden light.My heavy eyes finally open up, instead of light I find myself surrounded by darkness, again. I blink a couple of times and tilt my head to my side.A soft dim light was lit in the room, it was lit enough to manevour your way around the room. I study around me. I was in my room laying on the soft bed.The left side of me face felt heavy, curiously I lift up my left hand
