Tatiana POV

Seated in front of the old man, "your wife has decided to open up about what happened while she was kidnapped correct?" He questions, "I have" I say. "Please, remember if you feel like you don't want to continue that's okay too, at your own pace" he says making me nod. Look over at Alex, my eyes making contact with his. Sighing before looking down, "I can't believe I'm talking about this" I say before gulping. Looking up at him, "so uhm...as you know I was raped by my stepdad and Emilio" I breathe. "It never ended there" I say, "w...when Emilio took me with him that's where the real nightmare for me began" I croak. "When we got to the house, he instructed me to undress" I breathe staring into his eyes, "he raped me again" I say now staring into blank space. "This took place for a week where he would come back from wherever at night and violate me" I cry, closing my eyes for a moment. "After a week went by, a man I didn't know entered the room I was in" I cry, "he was huge and I realized he had paid Emilio" I say my foot now uncontrollably shaking as the event played itself in my head. "I...I tried to fight but he beat me" I cry, "then once I was weak and bleeding, that's when he did it" I cry, "the more I cried the worse he seemed to make it" I sob, "after he was done. He...he peed all over me" I say in disgust, "laying there sobbing, that was when I had my first hit" I say looking up at him, "I was sobbing and shaking so hard from the pain that I begged them to kill me" I cry as my lips quivered, "instead he injected me" I breathe as the tears slid down my face. "From then onwards different men would come in the room, some I remember, some I don't" I cry, "some you even do business with" I breathe honestly making him gulp. "Then he began hosting these parties" I breathe, "th....they would take turns with me" I sob, "if I didn't do what they wanted I would get beaten and he would threaten to go after our kids" I gulp, "I...I know I shouldn't have believed him but this man managed to grab me I couldn't risk it" I cry. "So they would all rape me in any way they wanted, and I would beg for the drugs afterwards" I cry, "death felt so much better than what I would feel during those times" I say wiping the tears off. "I....I just wanted to die and sometimes I still want to" I say closing my eyes in hurt. "Coming back home just reminded me of how I'm actually damaged goods, how disgusting I feel" . Breathing out, "Alex I tried so much to be strong and understanding but I felt like you were not there for me, like you wanted nothing to do with me" I say tearfully facing straight ahead. "I know you thought Alejandro was your son but even then I at least hoped you would respect me enough to not bring Rosalina around until we at least sorted our things out" I finish wiping the tears off my face. Looking over to him, "the reason why I'm telling you all of this is to not make you feel sorry for me but to give you a chance to make your decision" I say curtly, "I won't blame you if you choose to leave but please make it clear now" I say staring into his teary eyes.
"Alessandro" the man calls out, "would you like to respond to what your wife has just said or do you want to think about it" the man says calmly.

Third Person POV
Tatiana looking up at him. Clearing his throat, "I...I'm sorry I wasn't there" he breaths, "th..there was nothing much you could have done" he croaks, pressing his lips together trying to hold in his cry, "I....I don't know what to do or say" he breaths as tears slide down his cheeks, "I...I just want to know if we can fix it together, if you are willing to fight for us the way I've been fighting" Tatiana says through tears, "I want to know if you willing to prove yourself and show me that you truly love me the way you say you do because Alessandro actions do speak louder than words and your actions" she breaths, "they've told me otherwise" she says. "I'm not in any way justifying my infidelity you have every right to be angry but you have also humiliated me and disrespected me not only as your wife but as a human being" she cries......
