Chapter 70 Pain

• One month later
• Who can sleep when their mind is clouded with memories that only increase your discomfort? Since Alessandro left, I haven't felt at peace. I didn't want to eat, and even though I made an effort to nourish myself for the sake of my child, the food tasted unpleasant.
• It was as if all interest in continuing my life had left with Alessandro. Had I given him that much power over me? Had he dug so deep into my being to cause this effect on me? I didn't know why I had allowed it, but it didn't matter anymore. What mattered was ending it. I needed to stop feeling this way.
