Chapter 53 Far Away

• The papers fell from her hand and she left them there. She walked to the entrance gate and from the window, he saw her cross it with slow steps and an absent look, definitively leaving his life.
• Scott couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a chair, crying bitterly. He had never felt more betrayed or more alone. He loved her, he loved her madly, but for Alexa Carusso, or Alejandra Sanroman or whoever she was, he was nobody. She lied to his face. She betrayed him to his face.
• He hid his head in his hands and only got up from there to break things, scream, drink, and cry out of helplessness, because all he wanted was to run after her.
