Fizz let out a sigh, turning on his heel, leaving us two to have the privacy that we needed. I felt my insides burn with shame.
"I cook for you, I clean for you, I do everything for you, Luca..." Evelina sobbed. "Why isn't that enough for you? What is it that makes you not want me? Makes you not love me? What am I doing so wrong?"
She trailed off her sentence, sniffing, feeling utterly and completely defeated. I continued to stare at her, the guilt eating me alive.
"I'm a monster, Evelina..." I said softly. "Never claimed to be any different. Me being harsh to you, distant towards you. It saves you from me. Saves you from getting hurt. Saves me from dragging you straight to hell with me when I'm gone."
Evelina's eyes continued to well with tears, as she listened to my revelation. Listened to the harsh and bitter truth.
"I'm no good for you. I've never loved you Evelina, never have, never will. You deserve better than me. Maybe the least selfish thing I can do is set you free now that my Pops is dead. I know you're not happy with me. I know this isn't what you want."
