I had started to walk away, but I stopped and turned back to him.
“Don’t put on that pathetic act
“It’s disgusting.”
I walked back into the lively party. Vittorio was holding our daughter high in the air, displaying his treasure like Simba in The Lion King.
The room
was
filled
with laughter and joy, drowning out the sound of a choked sob from a dark corner,
Adam and Chloe broke up.
Chloe started showing up at his parents‘ villa every day, causing such a scene that the neighbors complained. Eventually, Adam’s mother told security not to let her into the community. So Chloe started ambushing him at the institute.
After he rejected her pleas for reconciliation one last time, she pulled a long knife from her bag and stabbed him.
Her face was a mask of pure madness.
“I left the institute for you! My future is gone!”
“I damaged my body for you! My baby is gone!”
“On what grounds can you break up with me?! On what grounds?! I don’t agree!”
The police took a delirious Chloe away. Adam was rushed to the hospital, and his life was saved.
When he woke up, he looked expectantly at every single person who came to visit him. By the time he was discharged, the light in his eyes was completely gone.
While all of this was happening, Vittorio and I were at an international music festival. His camera was filled with countless photos. Every single one was of me.
