#Chapter48

The following two weeks passed quickly.

Sebastian and I spent every waking minute together. It was like somewhere in our heart we knew that our time together was limited and we were both trying to make the most of it.

Tonight was Christmas Eve a night that was supposed to be dedicated to family and love but there was an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Sebastian had left a while ago to prepare for the celebration the Alfonsi family had every year on Christmas Eve. Sebastian hadn't told me much, just that if I wanted I should come downstairs at seven o'clock.

It was almost seven now and I still hadn't left the room.

I sat on the bed and stared blankly at the match box I'd stolen from the kitchen yesterday. The letter and picture proving I was the daughter of Carlos Vitale sat in my lap, mocking me. I knew they were a ticking time bomb. I was living amongst people who wanted to exterminate the Vitale bloodline.
