Don Marco: Ah, bella! Did you really think you could get away from me? I own you nowww!
I'm still someone's wife.. I was getting married 8 months ago..
Does it look like I give a damn who you are married to?! You're mine now, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep you.
I show him my wedding ring
snatches the ring from WhimsicalSunsets That means nothing! You're going to divorce him, whether you like it or not.
narrows his eyes You think you have a choice in the matter? You belong to me now, and I won't let anyone else have you.
grabs WhimsicalSunsets by the arm forcefully No, you're not going anywhere. You're staying right here with me.
I try to pull my arm away
tightens his grip on WhimsicalSunsets' arm You're not going anywhere, tesoro. You'll learn to love me as much as I love you.
softens his expression and tone I understand that this is difficult for you, mia cara. But trust me, I won't let anything happen to you.
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous Love can't save you from me, tesoro. Your husband means nothing compared to me.
Why are you doing this..?
pauses, his expression turning more vulnerable I...I know it may seem strange to you, but I couldn't help myself.
You couldn't help yourself..?
takes a deep breath The truth is, I've always been obsessed with you. I watched you from afar, and when I saw your wedding, something inside me snapped.
nods, his eyes filled with regret Yes, I admit it. I'm obsessed with you, WhimsicalSunsets. I never should have tried to control you.
Would you ever let me go..?
pauses, his eyes filled with determination I want you to be happy, WhimsicalSunsets. If you truly love your husband, then I will let you go.
releases WhimsicalSunsets' arm and steps back Yes, I'm sure. You deserve to be happy, and if that means being with someone else, then so be it.
clenches his fists, struggling to maintain his composure If you leave, just know that I will always care for you, WhimsicalSunsets.
I need to pack my stuff..
gestures towards the door Go ahead, tesoro. Pack whatever you need. Just remember, you have a place here if you ever change your mind.
I walk slowly towards my room
watches WhimsicalSunsets walk away, his heart heavy with the weight of his obsession
A few hours later I come out with my suitcase
steps forward, taking the suitcase from WhimsicalSunsets' hand Let me carry that for you.
I smile gently Thank you..
takes the suitcase and walks towards the front door You're welcome, tesoro. Take care of yourself.
stops and turns to face WhimsicalSunsets Yes, tesoro?
I walk into his arms and hug him tightly
wraps his arms around WhimsicalSunsets, holding her close Ciao, tesoro. Sempre amore.
I pull away and walk to the door Bye Don Marco..
watches WhimsicalSunsets walk out the door, his chest tightening with a mix of sadness and longing Arrivederci, tesoro.
