He Breaks After Forcing Me to My Death
They stripped her of the last valuables she had, broke her legs, and left her bleeding in the street.
She ended up in a shelter, half-mad, mumbling nonsense day and night.
"Camilla, mi dispiace…"
"Matteo, aiutami…"
But no one was coming for her.
Matteo never remarried. He never returned to business either.
He bought the stretch of coastline I loved most and built a small house there. He lived by the sea, quiet, alone.
He learned to cook my favorite spaghetti alla Napoletana. Every time he finished, he plated an extra serving and set it across the table, as if I were still sitting there, eating with him.
