I like the sweet you.” she told him. “The sweet me?” He asked.

Marjorie struggled and screamed, but nothing she did mattered. As she was dragged out of the ward, she looked back at Lorenzo in despair. Seeing the icy indifference on his face, she finally understood there was no escape. A surge of bitterness rose in her chest, and she cried out hoarsely. "Lorenzo, why are you acting so devoted? What good will killing me do? "Isabella is already dead! You'll never get her back! You killed her. You pushed her to her death with your own hands! "You are the real sinner.
