He Thought I’d Beg Until I Walked Away

My boyfriend, Don Alessandro Moretti, wanted a Donna who never got jealous.

Whenever I disobeyed, he used silence to teach me my place.

When he started taking his childhood sweetheart, Lucia,everywhere on his arm, I confronted him. He froze me out for a week.

At one family dinner, Alessandro seated Lucia at his right hand, the place meant for his future wife. When I objected, he shut me out for two weeks.

“Lucia and I are only friends. I love you, Eva.”He told me afterward. “But a Donna must be above petty jealousy.”
