'Dear Mr. Alexander Belmonte

If you're reading this is because I either died or left Juliet. I want to start by saying that I'm sorry for the damage I have caused. I would never intentionally hurt your daughter.

She means the absolute world to me, which is why I had to leave. I'm sorry for lying to you as well. I am not the boy you probably thought I was. I, unfortunately, am a gang leader; it was passed down to me and is the reason I had to leave Juliet.

Juliet's safety was at risk, and I know I should have informed you of this, but I was selfish and I still am. I will do whatever it takes to have Juliet as well as you are safe.

I've done horrible things in my life, and I have no excuse for anything. Your daughter deserves better than this lifestyle. I understand if you both hate me, I think I can live with it. As long as I know she will be safe, I'll be fine.

I remember this one night I had stayed over you asked me if I had ever been in love. I told you I hadn't. I must have been blind honestly. I have loved your daughter probably since I met her.

I've been thinking for a while now. I don't know how to write this down without making you cringe. I never thought someone could make me smile and laugh as much as she did. Juliet is the only person that can make me feel a whirlwind of emotions.

Maybe I fell too hard for her, maybe I fell headfirst, but I would do it all again if it meant knowing someone as special as your daughter. I fell in love with her voice and her eyes. I love her smile, if you look carefully her smile can brighten up a room without trying. She is my absolute universe.

I know I'm fucked up (excuse my language) for leaving her. I know I should have done something else and maybe that would have helped us to not get hurt in the process. Sadly, Mr. Belmonte, that's not how my world works. Everyone is after everyone, any person close to me will be in danger.

I don't want Juliet to be in danger.

She's too important.

She may be strong but this world for some fucking reason will pluck pieces from you slowly. I don't want Juliet to go through the same path as my sister. My sister, Mila unfortunately got caught in the crossfire and died. I don't want that to be Juliet. I don't know what I would do if it had happened. For that same reason is why I had to leave.

All I'm asking for is to take good care of her, please. She deserves the best. Please, make her laugh and smile cause those are two amazing parts of her.

She's good at expressing herself, don't let anyone take advantage of that. Make sure you hold her tightly when you hug her, maybe if you don't hate me hug her for me too. when you compliment her make sure she believes it, give her a compliment for me as well.

Don't eat her cookies or coffee. I left a copy of my mom's recipe attached to this. She loves those cookies. Lastly, don't hurt her the way I hurt her. She doesn't deserve to feel this way.

She deserves to be happy.

I apologize a million times for this.

Make sure when she wants to start a family that all her boyfriend's treat her like the queen she is. She may be my downfall but don't let me be hers. She still has a future waiting for her.

Oh, before I end this letter, take her to the park, have picnics she loves those, get her flowers. She loves the pigment of them. Please help her move on, I know she can do it all by herself. She's so strong, I know she can do this.

If you need anything or it regards her or your safety, please email me. I will do my best to keep her safe.

Take care,

Aiden Winters'

I would have cried reading this if I was Alexander. Phew what a rollercoaster.

Anyways... have a great day and make smart decisions.
