Our lives hang in the balance.

Just when everything seemed to come together, our lives were damn near torn apart.

It doesn’t stop there. We’re dealt blow after blow, and we’re struggling to hold onto each other.

But I won’t let anything tear us apart. I won’t.

Not Valentina. Not me. And certainly not the brothers.

We’re going to survive this one way or another. There are no lines I won’t cross, no one who is safe from my wrath. They’ve taken too much from me and they’ll take no more.

I don’t recognize myself anymore, but I’ve never felt more confident in who I am.

Maybe this is who I was always meant to be.
