VALENTINA TOMMASO
I despaired, I screwed up, I ended up falling back into Cecilia's bullshit. I was taken by surprise, my head hurt, my body was shaking and I cried non-stop. And when Enzo walked in that door, I knew we were both going to get out of here dead, because Cecilia was going to kill us. Enzo should have done it differently, but I know he did it out of desperation to know I was in jail. She's done everything she's done, and she's done with us both here, face to face. And when she made him kneel, I scream:
"No, you won't kneel. Enzo, no, don't do that. And I cry desperately, and she turns her hand on my face and he screams approaching and she shakes the knife.
"Don't Cecilia, don't do that, and don't touch her.
"Who are you to say anything? I'd scream up and cry. "Shut up, bitch, I'm in charge here. And you obey on your knees, Enzo, I've told you and don't make me do something crazy.
"Don't do that, Enzo, please don't kneel before her, don't deserve you to humiliate yourself. I screamed and more and more she beat me. "Don't be humbled by her or for me. Be proud right now.
"Shut up, Valentina or I'll rip your tongue out. She approached the knife to my neck, and she said again. "I'm waiting for Enzo, I want you on your knees, on your knees, begging now. I knew he was going to end up doing it, he looked at me, shook his head in negativity. I knew he was going to do it. My heart went off, I was afraid, but I didn't want him to humiliate himself in front of her and he didn't deserve it. I again shook my head at him, denying that he wasn't supposed to do it. He looked at me with his eyes full of tears and I was crying. He was going to do it, I know Enzo. I knew what he was going to do, and I saw when his knees started to bend. I took a deep breath and said, whispering.
"Please, Enzo, don't. Crying, tears falling, despair. I didn't want him to humiliate himself for her and I was afraid that if after he did that, she'd do the worst she'd kill us. The fear was screaming in my face, my voice trembled, and I saw him when he knelt down. With both hands behind him, he fell to his knees before her.
"I want to hear you say, Enzo. I want to hear it from your mouth and where's that proud, powerful man? You're standing there in front of me, begging to survive.
"No, Cecilia, please don't do anything to her and let her go, I'm guilty of everything. I have to be punished, not her. He was humiliating himself and I knew it wouldn't do any good. "Then look at me, Cecilia. I'm here, you didn't ask. So now you let her go and punish me and she has nothing to do with it.
"Shut up, Enzo. I want to hear you beg, talk to me and you made me be this one I'm being, and you guys did this to me.
"She's not to blame for anything. He screams.
"She's guilty, and so are you. And you both have to pay.
"No, no, Cecilia, she's not to blame for anything. I made a mistake with you. I'll do whatever you want, but release Valentina.
"No, Enzo, and too late.
"Stop, Enzo, please don't do that. Don't turn yourself in and don't promise anything. I scream.
"Shut up, bitch. You're to blame for this. She beats me again. "Do you see your male kneeling before me? You're to blame and he's doing all this for you. Because you got in our way and destroyed my life, our love.
"You left me Cecilia. He was trying to calm her down.
"We had an agreement that we would find even if it went beyond life. And you broke that deal. I looked before them to see her despair; you could see the despair on her face. She trembled, and he trembled. Deep down, deep down, she doesn't want to do that. But she's feeling desperate, for sawed. I look at Enzo in front of her on her knees, with both hands behind her, begging her to let me go and she stared at him with hate, contempt. I saw no love; I saw only contempt and hatred.
She seemed to bluff, or she wanted to make us suffer before. He walked a few steps towards him and started saying I'd be there looking at them both, my eyes, running from side to side, seeing that scene.
"I loved you Enzo for many years of my life. I stopped living my life, waiting for us to meet again, and wanting to have a life with you. I've never loved another man, I've always loved you and waited for you, I've always dreamed of being your wife, the mother of your children. And when I go back to town, what I see you married, in a fake marriage, as a woman who has nothing to do with you. She looks at me. "But I saw a smile on your face, you seemed happy. And at that moment, I saw that you no longer loved me like before and preferred to love her, you chose her and not me. And you know what I don't understand to this day, what happened to us two? Why is that? It all went wrong. She was dropping everything that hurt her. "I cried, I despaired for years for you. When she said that, I looked at Enzo, he was thrilled. And I saw how much she loved him, and I also saw how much she hated him.
"But we do not walk in the heart. And to this day, if I wasn't understanding why they weren't together, and neither was she by the way. I looked at Enzo again, not understanding much. And he kept saying. "But I came back for you. And I was willing to fight for you, and I went back to fighting with all the weapons I could. I saw that she was desperate, but she wanted to cry and turned into a body. But she came back with everything and said screaming, "But today I hate you with all my strength.
"Please, Cecilia, I am so sorry for everything that happened. I didn't want it to be like this. But please, look at me. For all the love you felt for me one day. He was still trying to make her change and humiliate herself. "Let Valentina go, she's not to blame for anything. We're going to work it out between you and me. Please, Cecilia, think.
"Shut up, Enzo. I hate all this; I hate this woman. She walked in anger, with hate and she kicked some cans she had around her, angry. "You make me do all this, look what you're doing to me. I hate you, so I made a mistake too, for leaving me, for you changing me for some. We had plans, we made the plans and what you did to them, you erased from your memory.
"Please, Cecilia, release Valentina, let's talk, you and Me, we can start over, is that what you want? We start over, but I want you to let her live, let her out of here.
"No, Enzo, you had all your chances. You lost your memory, and yet you wanted it and you regained your memory and you totally forgot about me. You made me be this bad woman, you took away all my dreams, you destroyed me, just like she also has to pay for it, not just you. So don't come up with that story. Enzo.
She took a handcuff and threw it next to him and we looked at it without understanding anything.
"Take... I shook his head negativity so he wouldn't do that. "Take it, come on, I want you to take it and go to her and handcuff yourself to her chain.
No, I’m not... No, Enzo, no, don't do that, Enzo, no.
I screamed desperately, crying, if he does, she'll kill us.
" Come on Enzo, take the handcuff, you're not the savior of the fatherland, you're not the good guy, so now you take this cuff, get up from there, look at me Enzo! She screams. "Or I'm going to kill them both here and now. She pulled the gun out of her waist and pointed at him. "Get up, take that cuff, and cuff her hand in her chain.
"Don't do that, Enzo, don't do it, I was sure she'll kill us here together, one tied to the other. I scream and I closed my eyes, the tears came down and I screamed and begged him not to do and he was refighting not to get up, he deep down, he also knew that she was capable of it and that she was going to do it, I saw it and he also saw that she was going to kill us, he still looked at me again. And he lowers his head and looked at me and saw those handcuffs on the floor and he was in the mood to pick it up and I desperate for him not to pick it up, because as long as we were there fighting, arguing and fighting about it, it was going to be later and so someone was going to find Enzo on his phone, I was sure of that and the last time I talked to Carol, I said I was going out to find Enzo. If she pay close attention, she will realize that I am in danger, someone has to help us, someone needs to help us, I start crying desperately and scream:
"Enzo, please don't do this. I'd take it in the face and burn it.
"I'm going to tell Enzo the last time, take this cuff now and handcuff yourself in her chain, now Enzo. Or you'll pay for your deeds. NOW!
