When all you wanted was to be wanted, why did things have to be so complicated?
I should have known wanting to get closer with a guy like Cristiano would come with a cost and looking back, maybe I did know, but I chose to ignore it.

Alessandra’s words hounded my head repeatedly. No matter how hard I tried to forget it, it kept coming back to me over and over again.
“I know who you really are.”
I had thought it was only a bluff, a lie in order to aggravate Cristiano, but when I saw the way he reacted to it, I knew it couldn’t just be something she made up if it affected him so
