Stefania
I stared into empty space. I was the spy? My father set me up to spy on my master? I had a father? And he was still alive? I was suffering and trying to pay the debt we owed and he was there trying to use me from the background? I had a brother? I felt Leila shifting close to me. But I did not pay her attention.
I felt weak. My head was hurting so bad. I just wanted to close my eyes and never wake up. This was not happening. It was like I was dreaming. I would wake up soon. I heard my low chuckle which I did not believe belonged to me. Why? Why was things going wrong? I wanted to cry but I felt so numb.
I felt his gaze burning into me.
Giovanni. I did not want to look up at him. I did not want to see that hurt, the distrust I could clearly see growing in his eyes.
He had not left the dungeon in two days.
