When you think you can’t screw up, you go and do damage control. I knew Arianna was going to interrogate Nicolo. I was consumed with anger and now she hovers on the verge of death. Lifting my head, I stared at the ceiling. Every moment sitting in there watching her in pain, was like a knife to the gut.
I’m failing everyone in my life. The more I try to do the right thing, the more I end up hurting the people in my life that I care about most.
Walking back to Arianna’s room, I hesitated at the door. I was emotionally drained and needed more time. Praying to Valcrum was all I could do. I had been a faithful and loyal servant to Valcrum, and I hoped he had not called her home.
Everything going on with Liam, and now Arianna, was too much. I’m not strong enough to handle all this.
