Alessandro innocently held Matteo's arm. "That's not true!!" Marie began crying. "I took care of you with all I had when I was carrying you!

I adjusted the stack of leather-bound first editions on my head “War and Peace”, “Les Misérables”, and Damien's personal favorite, “The Art of War” and resumed my torturously slow walk across the marble floor. My Valentino heels clicked like a metronome set to the tempo of my suffering. "Posture, Mrs. Blackstone," Madame Laurent barked. "Shoulders back, chin level you are not a peasant harvesting turnips."
