After Luana left taking five of my borrowed books I was walking through the mansion looking every corner of that huge place feeling a huge void, I missed my fallen angel more than I imagined, this is the first night I spend without him seems I will die of nostalgia, Dario is part of me more than I wanted unfortunately for me.
As I walk down the hall I pass by the bedroom door that I should not open, all these months I never had curiosity to open but something inside me began to scream to open this door I put my hand on the knob noticing that it was not locked as Dario said the first time, I opened the door looking inside the room, everything seemed so gloomy but as soon as I turn on the light I see a beautiful environment full of photos and family portraits throughout these memories recorded in images, my fallen angel seemed to be happy and excited nothing connected with the man I know.
- What happened to you my angel?
There were some cassette tapes on top of a desk, it had been a while since I had seen cassette tapes and video cassette only when I was a child and only once, but there in that room were the two old pieces, I put the first tape in seeing my angel smiling as he ran after a boy, from the looks I know it is Saul. They looked so happy running through a beautiful garden, it was inevitable not to cry at the thought that it would be good to have him by my side in that happy and playful way nothing like the dark and aggressive man who lies with me.
In the other tapes there were videos of him with his brother, with a pregnant woman that he called Mama Tina in an affectionate way, and from the way she looked, she was certainly his mother, and with a woman that during the filming he called Florencia, the woman he killed was his fiancée and they seemed happy together, a couple that would make anyone envious.
The penultimate tape was Florence with Nuno Tolentino, the two were having sex while ridiculing my fallen angel saying he was an idiot and naive to believe her as I understood their conversation there was a war between the families and Florence was taking information to the enemies of Dario's family, now I could understand why he was so angry and bitter, when the penultimate tape ended I had a bad feeling as if putting it to run was wrong but wanted to go all the way.
So I put the last tape with the description of initiation bitterly regretting it, was Dario killing Florence with refinement of cruelty, his eyes there was not an iota of pity as he pulled the hair of the woman who screamed for mercy, her body was dead yet he continued only when her body was covered in blood and there was no brightness in his eyes, at that moment I discovered that every night was not sharing moments of pain and suffering with a man but with a monster.
What wouldn't Dario Albertini be able to do with me when he got tired of me? If he did this to the woman he loved the most, what do you expect him to do with me who am just his plaything for personal enjoyment? I had a small but meaningful hope that he would one day fall in love with me but after watching these tapes I know it will never happen. Dario Albertini is a monster who is incapable of loving anyone, especially a woman like me.
I leave that room leaving everything organized as it was closing the door behind me, going to my room. I take my notebook to start to plan an escape plan, looking at the deplorable state that woman is in I keep thinking that I don't want to have the same end as her, if he did that with someone who betrayed him, what will he do with me who am just someone worthless to him.
I couldn't die without at least realizing my dreams by living away from all the cruelty and evil that I have been forced to live with throughout my life. I had already decided, I would run away from this place never to return, I would be happy, I would travel the world and live my life away from all the evil that Dario Albertini represents.
- I love you, my fallen angel, but I have much more love for myself and my life.
I hold the shirt from earlier, hugging it tightly so that I can smell its scent again, I loved a monster but he would never love me and I doubt very much that he will ever have any kind of affection for me. To put my plan into practice, I will need help but I know I can count on Luana for that, and I can't give any indication that I intend to run away, I need to remain beautiful, submissive and obedient as always so I can put my plan into action without arousing suspicion. If everything goes well I will have a month to do everything I have planned, leaving this life behind to live away from it all.
Luana
I was happy to have found a new friend, since Caetano did that to me I moved away from all people so that no one would notice that I was not well. Soon the loneliness, feeling of guilt and sadness made me try to take my own life, Tomás managed to avoid it but I know that sooner or later the will to leave this world will come again, and my brother won't be able to avoid it.
When I got home there was no one there, I locked everything as a form of protection, I developed panic of the world and of people, it is also the fault of what happened to me three years ago, then I locked the door to my room and started to read one of the books that my friend Cecilia lent me, It was the story of Queen Cleopatra and her great deeds while she was alive I ended up falling asleep with the book in hand only being woken up with the screams of my mother, after the suicide attempt, she and my brother live attentive with me that made the onslaughts of Caetano a little less and the rapes too.
- Daughter, I went crazy when you took so long to open that door. Where were you, miss?
- Sorry, mama! I fell asleep while reading, but is everything okay? How was dinner?
I haven't worked at the mansion since the suicide attempt, my brother wanted to keep an eye on me so he put me in charge of cleaning the mansion of Mr. Dario Albertini, it was for sure the best decision my brother made for me.
- It was quite busy, darling, engagement parties are always like this!
What do you mean, who's engaged? Mama hadn't said anything about an engagement.
- Whose engagement, Mama?
- Mr. Dario! He is getting married in a month to Nina Valentine.
I couldn't help thinking about Cecilia, even though Dario hurts her, my new friend is in love with him. But it's clear that he doesn't like her because he is marrying someone else.
- Bambina, tomorrow we will receive a very important visitor, I want you to be polite and a good girl. It is a great honor for us what is going to happen tomorrow, we should be grateful because we already have the blessing of the new Don. Your brother and I are very happy, and I know that you will be happy too.
- What will happen tomorrow, Mama? Who is going to come here to the house?
That conversation was very strange, Mama seemed happy as if something very important was going to happen tomorrow. But what will it be?
- It's a surprise, my child, don't worry just be that beautiful and good girl that you are, my bambina.
I had a very bad feeling about this whole mystery, what is going on? What will this surprise be?
