Chapter 18

Dear Marco Life has not been kind to me. Karma and I have always been enemies. You think I don't remember the man who stood in the corner of the room when I was 12 and watched me kill a man, but I do. But that girl you saw on the roof top the day WE lost Ren is not me any longer. I am different, darkness has soaked me up and I am drowning in the aftermath of it all. You say you are the one with all the enemies but I am the biggest of enemy of them all, I am traitor to all you stand for. I will not do what you ask of me, I will not betray my friend, nor will I marry the man who wishes to hurt him. Ren is dead Marco, and sometimes vengeance comes at too high of a price, and we have to stop ourselves and ask the question if. And I have made my choice, Mero is too high of a price so you can rest at night. He is innocent, and I am going to prove it. The choices I am making will not allow us to be together. I have loved you since before I even knew you, and I will love you even after you forget why you ever cared. Which is why we can't be. We both have our secrets and this one we just shared would be the one which will always be my most precious. I gave you something of me that is more than my heart, and body. I gave you the last of my honor. Now I must live with loyalty and that loyalty does not extend to a Catelli any longer. I need to find my sister, and I need to avenge my friend, my way. I am sorry we part ways like this, but I won't have the courage to tell the man who has finally made me belong that he should marry someone else. Marry Camilla, she loves you and in time your feelings for me would lessen and you would love her just as much and look after that kid, and never stop loving her as fiercely as you do, because a fathers love is stronger than anything she'll ever feel. And hold her tight, so she knows that you are safety. I suggest you put on the news someone has to take the blame for all those deaths. Choose quickly Marco, the game has begun and Lucca Sanati is first on the list. Until we meet again Love Always Aliyana I get up and lift the glass ball on my desk and fling it across the room, it hits the wall and shatters. I swipe everything off the desk and lift the desk up and throw it over. Our scent still lingers in this room, her blood, proof of our union is stained on my very flesh and she has left me, betrayed me, without even so much as a fucking moment to talk. I scream, and let all my hurt, anger, the feelings of everything out. She left me! She is gone. I know Aliyana and I are not done. I will make her mine, and she'll pay for hurting me like this. But she is right, Lucca must be stopped.
