Chapter 50. Goes Beyond Something Physical

BELLADONNA 

I immediately covered my ears as soon as I heard that voice because I immediately knew; this was a nightmare. 

“Why won't you leave me alone?!” I screamed, my body shaking. It was a dream, and yet the fear I was feeling was too intense and realistic. “I get it. I'm the reason you’re dead, but this is also your fault. You didn't agree to let me go either. You chose to stay with me until the end. So why is this my fault? Why, Luca?” 

“You don't deserve to be happy,” the voice repeated, even colder now.

“Don't you think I've suffered enough, Luca?” I whispered, now shaking as the cold seeped into my bones. “It’s been years, and I'm still suffering. Don't you think it's enough? You’ve been torturing me in my nightmare for so long, and I've never complained, but right now, I'm begging you, Luca. Let me have this. Please.”

“You don't. Deserve. To be. Happy.” 

“Fuck you!” I screamed, tears streaming down my face.
