I looked at him in horror, wondering why he wanted to punish me when I had no idea I was getting engaged either. I was kept in the dark just as he was, and I was supposed to be the bride.“They didn’t tell me anything either, Milo. I didn’t even find out I had an engagement party until two days ago. They planned everything behind my back because they knew I was going to resist, and they couldn’t have that.”“You should’ve told me. But instead, you ran away from me, and something bad almost happened to you. I also have to punish you for putting yourself at risk. From now on, the only place you will stay is right by my side.”Why was he being ridiculous? How could he punish me for putting myself at risk? That didn’t even make sense because I couldn’t have predicted what Tom wanted to do with me.“Are you blaming me for what happened with Tom?”“I’m not blaming you for anything. I’m just saying that the only safe place you can be is by my side. Anything can happen, including you falling

Before I even had the opportunity to process the information I had been given, my phone rang. I put it on silent without checking who had called so that I could address the issue at hand but it kept buzzing.I picked it up angrily and screamed at the person on the other end.“Oh my God! What!” “Chiara…”It was Alessandro and his tone was off. He sounded like he was about to break down and I couldn’t understand why. “Sandro? What’s going on?” I was suddenly concerned. I had just spoken to him a few minutes before and he hadn’t sounded like that. Had something happened?“It’s Papa…”He sounded like he could barely get the words out. He sounded so distraught that I couldn’t find it in me to rush him to tell me what was going on with Papa.“What about him?”“He’s a the hospital. He was in a car accident. He’s in surgery. Chiara, I don’t know if he’s going to make it.”The news shook me but what shook me even more was how much I wasn't distraught over the information I had been given. I

Bianca was standing in front of us, looking like she hadn’t slept in days, and her eyes were red. I could’ve sworn that she smelled badly, too. I had never seen her in that state before because she was a person who valued her looks more than anything. She thought she was the most beautiful girl in the room, so she made sure she looked the part.She always dressed immaculately and wore flawless makeup, but seeing her in that state, with her makeup in a state of disarray and her clothes looking creased, I almost felt sorry for her.“What are you doing here?” I asked.“I was getting coffee from the cafeteria, and I saw you sitting here. You haven’t come to visit Tom once since he was admitted to the hospital, and he’s your fiancé. You’re not really earning any brownie points from his mother. She’s looking at you sideways. I doubt she’ll allow you to marry him.”I wish. That woman had some sort of obsession with me marrying her son, and I didn’t get why. It wasn’t like I obeyed every sin

“Relax, you don't know that she’s the one who did this, and we can’t afford to offend her right now. You need to get your shit together and concentrate on how Papa will heal. He needs us right now, especially if he wants to come to terms with what has happened.” I said.“Are you defending her right now? Is it because you want her to protect you when you finally marry Tom? Let me tell you something. That woman is worse than Tom is. Where do you think he gets his nasty attitude from?”“Can you get your head out of your fucking ass? I’m not defending her. I just insulted her right this second. How could I care about how she sees me? I’m telling you this because we don’t know for a fact that she’s the one who did this, and instead of focusing on revenge, we should be focusing on how we’re going to make Dad feel better.”“But—”“He’s going to be paralyzed! Don’t you understand that? He has walked for all his life, and now suddenly he’s losing his legs. We need to figure out how we’re going

“Can you stop being dramatic? Why do you keep asking about her so much? Do you know something?” He asked, and I had to laugh at the audacity that he had to shift the blame onto me when we were speaking about what he knew and his involvement in the whole matter.It was very disgusting behavior on his part. One that he had learned from Matteo.“No. You're not going to shift the blame to me and try to make me seem like I’m the bad one in the situation. She is my mother. If I don’t ask about her, who else is going to? You’re hiding something, and I’m going right now to the police station to find out what’s going on.”Of course, I was bluffing, but he wouldn’t know that because he thought he was keeping me in the dark and that I was a naïve girl. I wasn’t the girl he knew me to be. I had changed for the better, and I would be damned if I allowed him to hide shit from me.He had defended me, but he was also acting like I was some little girl who needed protection from every other aspect of
