A Wilted Rose
"Oh, Carlo. Look at me. Take a good look... Whose wedding do you think this is? This is my wedding. Mine, and I'll be marrying Luca. And you? You're just a madman crashing someone else's wedding."
His smile froze. Tears rolled down his face. "No… It's not true… Rosa, you love me…"
I dropped the wilted roses at his feet. "You're wrong. I did love you...but that was in another life. You murdered that love with your own hands, and my life along with it. All I have for you in this life is hate."
I took Luca's arm and walked past Carlo without looking back. His cries echoed behind me, but none of that mattered to me anymore.
