Chapter 16

Alessia's POV

I do not know how I got back to my room. I just found myself sitting on the floor hugging my legs. I curled up in a corner as my tears continued to fall.

I feel so mixed that I feel like I'm going to explode at any moment. Whether I admit it or not, I was surprised by what Elijah said. I didn't expect them, but instead of me softening, I just felt angrier and there was no room for the love I was looking for for a while.

My tears are falling because I don't know who they are for. Is that like myself who has endured and been hurt for years and will only know that it was all on purpose? Or because I was hurt by something that didn't make sense? Why do I feel like it's easy for Elijah to manipulate me? Did he not trust me so he did all that? Was he unable to trust me during those times?

I can't explain it but there seems to be a part of me that seems to crumble but I don't know where it is. I don't love him anymore...I stopped thinking because of those words in my mind.
