The question of the fucking century. What answer is the truth in this case? Is it ever simply yes or no?

He chuckles, “I leave you for one minute…” he grits, “Start talking, what is going on?”

I don’t know how I made it this far without telling him. And with how shitty things have been going. How badly every move has been turning out to be. I don’t think I can make it any farther without telling him.

I didn’t want to drag him into this because I felt the fewer people knew, the better. But maybe that’s what is wrong withmy plan. Claudio would expect me not to voice out any doubts I have about him because he knows I have a track record of being obsessive to the point of making up scenarios in my head and projecting them in a way that feels real until it propels me to take action.

He knows I would think no one would believe me, even with the letter. And most of all, he knows I’d be careful because I wouldn’t want to hurt anyone that I care about.

But that has to stop. Going solo isn’t working. I need an ally on this one, and who better than the fucker?

“Let’s go to my father’s study,” I exhale.

He smiles, “I was right about no PDAs after all.”

“Orazio shut up.”

It's about damn fucking time I put my card on the table.

Chapter Sixteen

ROSE

Deep breath.

I say in my head to myself with a hushed voice, as if anyone else could hear my thoughts.

I'm doing it.

I smile sadly at myself, then drag in a deep breath, and let it out slowly through narrowed lips as I stare blankly at the ceiling of my room.

Freedom.

I will take it however I can. And I'm taking the one Carlos is presenting to me. I know our history makes it hard to believe he would want to just help me, but so far, he is the only person from my past that I didn't even need to reach out to who is offering to help. Everybody else has abandoned me, even after I tried getting into contact with them.

I hug my naked self and cross one of my legs over the other, flipping through everything I'd need to do when I leave this god-forsaken house and city.

I have never liked to sleep naked or without a comforter, I'm prone to cold or heat, because I've got a sensitive body that likes a little bit of this and that, but not too much of either. Still, last night, I slept naked, tossed the comforter aside, and lay on the bed facing the ceiling.
