Chapter 60 Marianna

• I'm nervous but also excited at the same time. I've been waiting for this day for a long time now. Well, for a week but the days felt like centuries. I'm not sure why I feel nervous when I've had a week to prepare my speech. All I have to do is convince a bunch of men to take one man out. How hard can that be? I talked to Marco and he told me that he'd do this for me because he felt like I deserved a fresh start.
• Padre had sent me to London to meet a potential client when we met. It was at some dignitary's party where I had gone to seduce the guy so we could get some info from him. The guy was rude and ugly and I didn't want to do it so I passed by the bar first to get some liquor courage. Marco sat beside me asking why a beautiful woman like me would attend a party just to sulk. For some weird reason, I blurted out my life story to him.
• Of course, I didn't tell him who I was. Just that I was forced to do things I didn't want to do. He told me that if we ever met again and I wanted help, he'd do it. Because life was too short to live in slavery. Back then, I didn't think he could do anything. To me, he was just an ordinary man offering to give me a different life.
