Emilia, a mixture of Enzo and Elianna. She isn't afraid of anyone and is a headstrong force to be reckoned with. For most of her life, Emilia had only had two goals in mind: attaining her degree and finding...

Emilia's POV
When I said that I wanted Santo to be my first everything, I forgot that it included my first breakup.
This burning feeling in my heart was almost unbearable. It was constant and I felt like I was being suffocated.
I wiped my eyes as I tried to call him again but he didn't answer.
He didn't come home last night and ignored all my calls.
I fell asleep by the door last night waiting for him to come back but he never did.
"Meow," James sounded as he curled next to me on the floor.
I frowned. "I miss him too."
I'll face whatever wrath Santo wants to unleash on me. I just wanted him to come home.
I was mad at him too. His reaction was extreme.
He didn't even try to hear what I had to say and assumed that I wrote bad things about him.
My phone rang and I quickly picked it up in hopes that it was him but it wasn't.
I cringed when I saw it was Professor Kate.
"What am I going to say?" I asked myself as I tried not to break down again.
I sighed before answering.
"Emilia," she sternly said. "I should not have to call you. You know what this is about."
"Professor Kate if you could give me a few more days-"
"Stop right there," she said. "Ms. Mariano, you've had plenty of time to do this simple task."
"Professor Kate, if you could just let me explain," I begged but she was not having it.
"Ms. Mariano, even if I wanted to help you, grades are due today. This institution does not normally allow students to do makeup but I begged the dean for you."
"Professor Kate-"
"Maybe it is for the best," she said. "If you could not finish one simple assignment then you probably do not deserve this degree."
My chest started to hurt and I began having difficulty breathing.
Why does no one ever listen to me?
"Please, just give me a chance," I begged.
"I am really disappointed in you, Emilia. I saw great potential in you," she said. "You will receive a letter of dismissal from the university by next week."
I tried to speak but I couldn't.
"Goodbye, Ms. Mariano. Don't waste your money trying again. You're not cut out for it," she said before hanging up.
Hot, heavy tears rushed out of my eyes as I screamed.
James immediately ran away and the guards rushed in to see if I was okay.
