Desiree

I smile at the girl, crying and shivering. "It's okay. It'll be over soon. He just needs to see, okay?"

I grab the knife off the counter.

I walk back out to my prince Vitale. I think I do love him. In my own, very special way.

He glanced up at me as walk in.

"I got you something, darling."

He c***s his head. I take the duct tape off carefully.

He purses his lips. "May I ask what?"

"It's a surprise. Wait right here. And...don't get out of those ropes just yet."

I drag the girl out by her hair, as she screams.

He looks at me incredulously. "What's this?"

"The problem. We were doing fine, but then she came, and got in way."

He glanced at her. "Melissa?"

"Don't say her name," I yell, smiling, calming myself.

"Desiree, what are you doing? I thought we were going to play this game, just me and you."

"You want to save her don't you?" I scoff. "Do you like her?"

"No," He shakes. "Of course not. I just...I don't want you to kill her for no reason."

"You love senseless slaughter!"

He looks me in the eyes softly, pleading. "I haven't seen her in years. Let her go."

Something in my stomach churns. I narrow my eyes, fury lighting in my blood.

"You said you loved me, you said we would get married. You wanted me. No one ever wanted me like you do. But you like her too, don't you?"

"No Desiree," He explains. "I only love you-"

"Then why are you so desperate to keep her alive?!"

"Tell me, I am only person you love. Tell me you love me above any one and everyone else, and she can live. But don't you dare lie," I smile.

He opens his mouth, his eyes darting to her. I narrow her eyes.

"Stop looking at her! Only look at me! See she's taking your love from me!"

He shakes her head. "Where is this coming from? Where did she come from?!"

I grit my teeth. She's the problem here. Before she came we were happy and we were falling in love.

This is all her fault. She...she tempted him, she just wants to take from me. She has to go!

"Desiree, you know I only love you. You're my posion, you know that. Let her go-"

I smile. "Don't worry. I'll save you from her. I know you only love me. Just say it. But if you lie, I'll kill her. I'll kill her right here."

He swallows. "Are you going to do this, to everyone you think is a threat?"

"You think I'm wrong? You think I'm out of line right now don't you? You don't love me, is that it?"

I look at whimpering girl. "This is your fault!"

"Desiree!" I glance at him, huffing. "Little one, what is wrong with you?"

"This is your fault too y'know? You told me you love me. You told you we're obessed me. That I was your everything."

"And you are. But killing innocent people...this isn't right."

"She's not innocent. She took you from me. She came between us. She tried to steal you from me."

My hand shakes.

"Melissa, didn't come between us-"

I put my hands on ears. "Stop calling her name!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, little one. Come here. Come to me," He coaxea

I slink toward her, laying my forehead on his.

"You've been going through a lot haven't you? This is more than us, isn't it? Talk to me."

"I keep thinking about you. I just want you to be mine. Just mine and all mine. No one else's. You're driving me crazy. I need you to love me, Vitale."

I pull away. "That's why she has to die," I raise the knife, looming over her.

"I have to free you from her,"

"Wait!"

But it's too late. I yank the knife out of her body, stabbing her again and again. Sinking to my knees.

I look back at him. "I had to. I love you, Giuseppe. Tell me you love me."

He closes his eyes. "Of course I love you, little one. But you know you're gonna regret this later."

I know. I'll see her face in my dreams. But I had to. I stand, putting my hands in either side of his face.

He looks up at me softly.

"I just want to be your everything, Giuseppe. Please tell me, now she's gone, that you'll stay?"

He smiles. "Of course I'll stay."

I smile shakily, cutting his ropes. He wraps me in his arms, pressing a kiss on my lips.

"What happened here, no one will know, alright?" He whispered.

"I'm sorry I lost my cool, darling," I mumbled.

He looks down, a sad look on his face. "Just remember this moment, when I lose mine. And forgive me."

Of course I'd forgive him. I love him.
