"You're right. I used you..." I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Knowing that he couldn't see me, but I had to do this.
"I mean, who... who wouldn't? You are the Don's sun. You're going to be the next heir. You have everything. My family comes from nothing. And I knew that having your attention... however small... was going to do wonders for me. Wonders for my family. Wonders for my father."
I force the coldness into my voice as I continue. "You were going to give my father a promotion soon before our wedding, right? You had to. You couldn't be married to a lowly soldier, I know that."
I took a deep breath and continued,
" I didn't love you as much as you did. I loved what you did to me, what you did for my family. You were handsome, you were generous, but I never loved you.
