His parents reacted as if someone had just thrown tonnes of bricks over them. “Luciano! Have you gone crazy?” His father grabbed his arm and forced him to face himself: “Leaving Sabrina, you married this girl?” He looked down at me as if I had no value. I was already dealing with the bad behaviour of my uncle and aunt. i and now these people are only adding to my problem. At the moment, I wanted to tell them the reality of our relationship but I kept my lips sealed because if Luciano wanted to tell his family the truth, he would do it on his own.
