I frantically bit my fingernails as my nerves were wracked to a frightening level. I was nervous as hell. My little plan had backfired on me.
I should have known the officer was not to be trusted. He was one of Alessandro's boys. I shouldn't have called the police in the first place. Why did I even listen to Leonard? I was in chaos now. I'm very sure the officer reported the case to him. I'm sure he knew that I wanted him behind bars and that I wanted a restraining order filed against him. I am finished now. What will I do? Who will I run to who can save me from Alessandro?
Simon and Grace had already left my apartment earlier after I made that dumb call. My hands were shaking. I was scared of Alessandro. The man terrified me to no end. He was scary.
I racked my brain for how to get myself out of this sticky situation as nothing came up. Even my brain had left me to clean up my mess. I was alone now. Slowly my eyes would dart to my locked door as I expected him to come banging on it very soon. I was sure he would be very angry with me.
What do I do now? I thought and thought but came up with nothing. I was an empty head. I didn't want to accept my fate that I would have to marry Alessandro to save my life and my unborn child's life. He seemed psychotic to me and I don't know what he's capable of when he's in a rage and I didn't want to find out now, especially not when I was pregnant.
Who could possibly help me out of this mess now? I didn't know anybody in Alessandro's family that I could beg to beg him to have mercy on me and leave me alone. I didn't know anyone. Did he even have a family? I thought.
Sebastian! Light bulb moment.
Sebastian and I were friends and you can say he likes me and cares about me even though our last conversation went down bad and sour really quickly. I'm sure he wouldn't like to see Alessandro maltreat me. But if I remember clearly, Sebastian wanted me to marry Alessandro. Oh no! He won't agree to help me unless I accept Alessandro's proposal.
