Enraged.
----♦''Go on.'' I breathed as I crossed my arm around my chest sternly. Before speaking she wiped her teary eyes and took a deep breath as she began,
''I don't know how to start Alessandro. Anastasia, when she-when she was around 5 years old. She was abused. Abused by our uncle Vittore. I wasn't born yet but I know about this because Anastasia had severe depression. She wasn't herself at all. She used to have terrible nightmares. She wouldn't sleep all night long due to fear. Fear of Uncle Vittore.''
She continued.
''Uncle Vittore is my father's step brother. They had the same mother but different fathers. When we were little uncle Vittore used to run the mafia alongside my father. In fact he used to live with us in our mansion. He developed some sort of liking for Anastasia. In an inappropriate way. He would go in Ana's room late at night and sexually abuse her. And as years passed his sexual obsession with Ana's grew from worse to worst. After our mother died, dad would be mostly in Spain. And Uncle Vittore wou-would rape Ana. There are scars on her body. Of burning and hitting that won't leave her.'' she let out a cry as tears enveloped her cheeks.
''I didn't believe Ana until when I became a teenager. Until I saw it myself. We were having dinner one night and Ana left to go to the bathroom. Uncle Vittore also excused himself and went in her direction. I was yet to come to dine at the table with the family and the bathroom was in the hallway close to my room. Thats when I saw Uncle Vittore enter the bathroom. He had keys to every room of the mansion. So he unlocked the door. I was too stunned to analyze what was happening and I went closer to the door to hear. The only thing I heard was uncle vittore calling Anastasia a whore, a bitch, a filthy slut and all those names. Did I mention I heard Anastasia's muffled screams. For many years uncle vittore raped Ana. He used her. He had completely destroyed her state of mind and everything she believed and everything she stood for. ''
''Alessandro,you told me that Ana said 'devils never die, innocents do'. Do you know why she said that? She said that because my uncle had killed the innocent small girl she once used to be. And he was the devil. A devil that never dies. He made Ana believe that its the innocents who are to be crushed like ants. And the devils can do anything they liked and no one was to hold them account for their evil acts. Do you Ana was always like? Always so defiant and evil and a murder? Never. When we were little she used to say that she wanted to be doctor when she grew up. She never wanted the life she had. And I never knew why uncle vittore was so obsessed with her. His obsession ruined her life. And then you called her a whore.''
''She can be called anything in this world except that word. Because it reminds her of how she was just a little girl who was ruined and forced to become my uncle's whore. She was never bad Alessandro. She was made the killing machine she is.''
''Now you would be questioning that wouldn't dad know about all this and do something? Well to answer your question Ana never told this to anyone. Even Artemis does'nt know about this. Only I do and Dante. Dante really helped Ana during her though times. He knew about all this even before me. Dante has a special place in Ana's heart. Not romantically but in a friendly manner. After my brother and mum died he was there for Ana like Edward used to be. He is like a brother to her. A brother she lost. A brother we all lost.''
''Alessandro, please don't force Ana to tell you this. I would've never told you this. The only reason being that you will be her husband. And you must be there for her not matter what she does. No matter how much she disobeys. She has had a very tough life. The rape, handling the mafia, and now this marriage. She is too broken. Don't break her anymore. Please.''
The only time I have cried in my life was when I had lost my sister. But everything I just got told has made my heart cry tears of blood.
Anastasia had to go through that much torment.
It breaks my heart. It feels like someone has slaughtered a part of me.
I consoled Athena who burst into tears as I hugged her. God.
Until the door burst open revealing Anastasia's figure. Blood shot eyes, pale yellow skin and a bandage around the arm that I had shot. There was only one thing in her eyes.
Fury.
-
I stood at the door.
My sister betrayed me.
She told a man I did not trust about the stain on my soul.
The stain only four beings knew about.
Myself, Dante, Athena and God.
I didn't care about all that shit the doctor said about resting and taking care of myself. I couldn't take it any longer. I was too hurt. I was too betrayed.
I slammed open the door. And took sharp steps towards Athena. She stood up as she saw me. Before she could say anything I landed a sharp slap on her cheek. So hard that she feel down to the ground. Alessandro backed up.
I leaned down to her level and said as I looked straight in her eyes.
''You, Athena are no longer my sister. I do not know you nor do I ever want to see you again. You can get out!'' I screamed from the top of my lungs.
''Ana, its not what you think-'' I didnt let her complete as I brought a gun to her head.
''Don't make me repeat Athena. I said. Leave. And never come in front of me again.''
Both me and Athena burst in to tears. But kept my sword sharp. I will not let her destroy me. I will not let her become my weakness. Never.
She finally grabbed her bag and left banging the door close.
I then turned towards Alessandro.
''Leave me alone.'' I barked like a dog ready to bite. And for the first time. He did leave me alone. He didnt fight back. He didn't force me.
All he did was leave.
I threw the gun as it banged on the floor. I threw myself on the black carpet and my eyes let out blood tears that were finally free.
I was beyond enraged.
But for now all I know is that my sister is dead. And Alessandro. He is a traitor. And whatever we were going to have is no longer going to happen.
Even if I have to die, I will never marry him.
Ever!
