49. Antonio's Revenge
"I still taste the past"
~UNKNOWN
The past few days have been.. I don't know how to put it. A lot of emotions have been shared between me and Alessandro.
After he acted like a possessive brute it was clear that shifting to another room was out of the picture but that didn't keep me from maintaining a distance between us.
But who am I kidding, this is my husband we are talking about. He knows how to pave his way through my walls.
I was surprised.
The amount of patience he showed when I blatantly ignored him or sometimes mildly disrespected him infront of his men. I had this small flame inside me that wasn't ready to burn off not until I make him feel even a quarter of my previous pain.
Well it wasn't successful, I couldn't continue ignoring him.
I was weak.<
