Semua Bab Let Me Love You, Don: Bab 111 - Bab 120

PIETROWith a pained expression on my face, I tried to hold down Lucrezia and stop her from pushing me away from her. With tears on her face, she tries to force me to leave but I refused to let her go. “Lucrezia,” I had whispered her name several times as I tightened my grip around her. The more I try to restrain her, the more she would forcefully struggle herself out of my hold. I don’t understand why she is suddenly acting out like this. Our conversation was just going well earlier between us. We even had smiles on our faces as we talked about our photos growing up. My parents never took or kept a picture of me in the past, so I could no longer remember how I looked like when I was little. I never had albums of me growing up unlike any other children. I don’t have a photo album to open up when I wanted to reminisce the past or when I wanted to see what I used to look like. So when I found out that Lucrezia had secretly taken pictures of me while g

PIETROMy heart twitched inside my chest upon hearing his question. The pain that I was trying to bury inside myself with alcohol resurfaced once again after he brought out the reason why I am wasting myself alone in this bar again. Pericles turns silent and shifts uncomfortably on his seat upon realizing that he had taken his question too far. He suddenly turns his mouth shut upon seeing the sudden change in my mood.I turned my head away from him in silence after his question pierced right through my heart. As silence and awkwardness enveloped both of us, I turned my attention to the glass of alcohol that I ordered which I still hadn't drunk until now. With an uncomfortable lump inside my throat, I swirled my glass of alcohol with an effortless swerve of my wrist, watching how the liquid wrapped around the ice like turbulent waves.The loud music of the bar faded in my ears as Pericles's question occupied my mind and my eyes straightened on the object in my hand.An uncomfortab

LUCREZIA"What is the problem? Is everything okay?" Letizia rushes in my room a few minutes after Pietro had left.With quivering lips and a broken heart, I took a few steps backwards until the back of my knees touched my bed, making me sit there, feeling at a loss. Letizia rushes beside me upon seeing my distressed state. Without any idea of what has happened to me, she could only sit beside me in silence, with worry covering her entire body."I knew it! There is no other reason for you to come here alone unless something is going on between you and your husband" Letizia voices out with her eyes squinted together."Why didn't you tell me? why did you chose tohide things from me?" Letizia bombarded me with questions.Even I were to inform her about it, I doubt that it would bring us any help. As much as possible, I do not want to involve her in my situation, not just because it would be more troublesome, but also because I don't want my sister to worry about me too.She already has a

LUCREZIAIt's been more than a month since I last saw Pietro. Ever since he came to visit me and I yelled him to leave, I had never seen him since then and I haven't tried to contact him too.As I stayed true to my words, I drowned myself with my work, helping Letizia in her job and fulfilling my duties as her consigliere.With the amount of things that we had to handle, I had no time to think about Pietro and spare thoughts about my decision of divorcing him.Since the last time I opened up to Lucrezia and talked about the my relationship with Pietro, Letizia and I never had any conversation about Pietro since then.We were handling so many problems at the same time that we had no room to think about our personal problems.Even though the amount of work we had to do daily is heavy, I'm still glad at the heavy workload for it helped me to divert my attention to somewhere else.Not having Pietro in my mind and overthinking about the things between us is refreshing for my mind."Are you

LUCREZIA I fell in silence when I heard the maid’s reply that Bianca did not actually stayed that long in the mansion with Pietro. I was expecting that she would still be here until now, living with Pietro which will be the reason why he is staying more at home than in the office unlike when I was the one who used to live here with him. I thought he was enjoying Bianca’s company, reliving about his past, talking about secrets that she knows of which he couldn’t share with me.Before leaving, Bianca made it clear to me that she had feelings for Pietro. Without me hanging around them and having Pietro all by herself, spending all her days living with him in the same place, I was expecting that something might have flourished between them. Bianca already wasted his chance to be with Pietro once before. Now that she’s back and has regretted leaving Pietro’s side, she would surely value this second chance that was given to her. There’s no way that she would lose this chance again and l
