Chapter 45 I Need To Explain To You

• "For Giovanna"
• With the discovery that everything was real and the suspicion that Matteo was aware of everything that was happening, no matter how much I tried to pretend indifference, it was impossible to maintain the appearance that everything was fine. I was truly willing to hurt him, even knowing that physical pain doesn't compare to the pain of the soul.
• However, when I saw that man pointing the gun towards my love, the hurt and anger I felt quickly dissipated, leaving fear in its place. I couldn't lose him. Not until I heard his motivations for something so cruel.
