Chapter - [ 23 ]

[ Aitana ]

My body still felt the tremors on my exposed skin whenver the cold midnight breeze touched me.The face of my tormentor danced in front of my eyes,I could still feel his breathing on my neck, it felt all so depressing.

I and Alessandro didn't talk since we came back from my father's house.I thought it was better to leave him alone for some time as he looked steaming in anger,the way his veins were popping up on his neck with each breath he took.His knuckles turned white by the force he held the steering wheel.

He excused himself in his study room as soon as he parked the car in the garage.I too needed a moment alone to gather myself. It was a traumatic experience for me and I never wished to face it again in my life again.

Men respected me when I used to be a princess but now, I am just a mere pawn in a sick power game.

I clutched the shawl more tightly around me and let the signs of weakness, tears fall freely from my eyes.I felt lost and defeated.I couldn't protect myself.
