I force myself to my feet but immediately stumble back.

Andrea says something else, and then he laughs manically, wrapping his arm around Rialta’s waist—my wife’s waist!

She’s still sobbing—her eyes are locked on me in disgust as I fall back to the ground. The room becomes darker and darker.

She drugged me—the wine. She put poison in the wine.

My mind races for an answer.Did she drug me to sedate me or kill me?

Andrea laughs again and then kisses her cheek.

She doesn’t move or deflect him.

Her eyes just darken at me.

I try to hold onto her dark brown eyes. I try to focus on them. To keep them with me. To find some truth that tells me this is a mistake. That she didn’t mean to kill me.

But I can’t find it.

She’s broken—because of me.

My eyes fall shut, unable to stay open any longer.

I force my lips to move, but no sound comes out. I can’t speak my truth, but I think it.

I love you, Rialta. And I could have saved us.

Lennox taught me how strong I really am.

But it backfired on him.

Because now I’m strong enough to take him

and everyone he loves down.

I thought he had a soul—a heart

But he’s just the villain.

And I know what to do with villains…
