"She has potential, she just needs an opportunity. Someone as privileged as you wouldn’t understand the struggles of a rising actress. I had to help her."
My brother and I sat together, pouring out our grievances and venting our frustrations. But in my sorrow, I failed to notice how his expression grew darker by the second.
It turned out that Alessia was a student he had personally sponsored. Struck by her remarkable beauty, my brother had taken it upon himself to send her to film school.
Upon hearing my complaints, his only thought was the possibility of losing the woman he cherished.
With a sigh, he tried to reason with me. "No matter what happens between you and Nicholas, don’t drag Alessia into it."
Fury burned inside me. I confronted Alessia, demanding that she stay away from my fiancé.
Unexpectedly, she wept and slapped herself as she kept saying that she was sorry and that she wanted to make amends for her sins. Then, without warning, she bolted toward the street.
Panicked, my brother and Nicholas chased after her. I followed close behind.
Just as she reached the road, the accident happened. My brother and Nicholas instinctively shielded her with their bodies.
