The pain, the fear, the anxiety, the disgust, and all the multitude of emotions I felt but couldn't dare say poured out as tears. Sebastian held me in his arms without a word, stroking my hair and letting me empty myself.
I hated Bruno. I hated my family. I hated all of them for making me pass through all that I passed through. And... I hated myself.
If I wasn't stupid, I wouldn't have married the monster in the first place. If I wasn't greedy, I wouldn't have gone to the party and met him. I was the cause of my own problem.
And now I was crying like it would change anything.
I wasn't sure how long I cried, but I cried. But throughout, Sebastian held me just as close as he held me from the beginning. His hold didn't loosen, nor did his fingers running through my hair slow down.
