ALESSANDRO'S POV...
'I was the one who planned it all.'
That line got stuck in my head. Made me freeze and my world turned upside down as I sat there dumbfounded.
Everything turned silent only that one line. I lost myself for some time.
"What did you say?" I heard Victoria's low tone. Her hand in mine is stiff, as well as mine. My breath is turning shallow.
Aunt Giana looked up at us and cried. She cried hard. Crying for what? For her daughter while sitting here and telling us that she killed our first born who couldn't even be born?
Suddenly, I felt a heavy lump of anger in my throat. All my veins are throbbing.
"I am sorry. I..." She parted her lips but I had enough!
"Shut up! Shut the fuck up!" I gulped my inner urge to kill her, shaking in anger.
"How dare you!?" I roared, not caring anything at all.
She looked horrified, sitting at the opposite. "Aless, I..." She tried to speak and I don't know what came over me. I just lost it.
The next thing I knew I was strangling her throat. "How dare you do that!? How fucking dare you!? For all of you, I misunderstood Victoria for three years! She suffered alone and I wasn't even there for her! She bear the pain alone and I didn't even know what she is going through! Why!?"
She struggled under me, her face turned red and eyes wide, yet I didn't let go! I won't! I will kill her!
They all made me look hideous! When my Victoria needed me the most I insulted her! The entire time I thought she is lying! How could they do this to me!? To an innocent girl who suffered for nothing!? My child who couldn't even be born!
"Aless! Let her go! You will kill her like this!" I heard Arianna's tone, yet I didn't care.
"Aless, please..." Suddenly, I felt a soft touch on my back. When I looked back, those green eyes were looking at me, soft and pleading.
I felt my body loosen up and slowly, my grip on her throat undid. I let her go, feeling numb, I moved back and slumped on the sofa again.
"Leave," I said. "Just leave!" I roared at the obnoxious woman. I might let her go now, but there won't be a second time to it.
I am feeling distressed. I am furious with myself. Wasn't it enough to be a miscarriage? Now, why it has to be like this!? Why it has to be my family always hurting her!? Why!?
"Aless, please! Don't say this." Giana came to me, on her knees. "Please don't say this. Lisa is my only daughter." She cried and that is making me annoyed. "I... I only have this one daughter. I know I made a mistake, I..."
