Alberto kept on hitting Bianca and I couldn’t do a thing to stop him. He was at least twice my weight and way taller, the man a terrifying nightmare. Bianca slipped down the wall as he struck her again, what I saw making me want to cry. Her face was unrecognizable, her nose smashed, and the blood ... it was everywhere: her face, her hair, her dress—and covering Alberto’s knuckles.

But I knew if I did he would do the same to me, so instead I took off up the staircase and sprinted for Frano’s room. Bianca had told me to go to him earlier, but I couldn’t think straight at the time, because I’d just killed two people, the wine that I had served them poisoned.
