Bound by hatred cora reilly7/5/2023 It was late April and today was the first warm day of the year. I’d stand by him and support him as best as I could, because he was mine and I was his. As long as Matteo treated me with care and respect, as long as he loved me, and I loved him, things would work out. But I’d realized I didn’t have to be happy about every aspect of his life. I’d never be okay with everything Matteo did, would never do even half of the things he had done and was going to do in the future. Smiling back, I turned the water on, and really let the words sink in, their truthfulness. Aria smiled as if I’d given her some huge present. I love him, the bad and the good,” I said firmly. I’d hated it, had fought it tooth and nail, but it was time to be brave. Matteo had held up a mirror to my face and showed me who I really was and where I belonged. I’d tried to become someone else, some kind of ideal I’d thought I needed to be, but that had never been me and never would. There was plenty of bad in Matteo, in every Made Man really, but I’d come to realize that there was in me as well. “Are you sure you can do the same? Accept all of him, even the bad?” Aria sank down on the edge of the bathtub.
