Chapter 49

• Pov Fernando
• It would be very immature of me to say that I'm terrified of loving, because at this point in the story, I think there's no going back, but if there's something that terrifies me greatly, and that's failing Sam, that's why hearing her say that her dream was to marry me and have a family left me perplexed, it left me speechless. Bewildered and nervous, because if there's one thing, I'm sure won't change overnight, it's my tastes, and I don't think this would be a good example for my children (the ones I may have one day). I also don't want to feel the need to fill these desires that Astrid awakened with women other than Samantha, because she deserves the best and I know it, I try to give it to her, I try to prove it, but boy, for the first time in my life, Fernando Laureti is terrified.
• Yes, I may be a coward, but haven't we all been cowards at some point? Is it a sin to be afraid? Fear of losing, fear of suffering, but above all fear of making someone suffer who deserves nothing but love.
