When Love Had Reached Its End

In the year I believed in pure love, Matteo Bianchi broke into the hotel and crippled the man who tried to rape me. Although he wasn’t heavily punished, the act left a mark on his life. The heir of a rich family was then driven from home and fell into a life of street thugs.

At the worst moments, I held Matteo and cried, asking if he regretted what he had done. He only smiled with affection.

His response was, "How could I regret it? Your innocence matters more than my life!"
