Spare My Heart

After my beloved Dantes supposedly died in prison, I was heart broken. I still am. Until the handsome Count of Monte Cristo saved my dear son, Albert, from being killed by Italian bandits. At that moment I realized he was my beloved Dantes, somehow escaped from the awful prison life. I soon learned of Albert's rage towards the count and that Albert was challenging the count to a duel. I was once again in fear for my sons life. I begged the count to spare his life. I know the counts secret and I shall not dare tell a soul. I feel like I have been replenished with life because I know that my lover is safe. I pray that his feelings remain true to me as mine have for so long. I am so unhappy with my life with Fernand. Our marriage was rushed and not based on love but by the empty hole in my heart. I long to feel again towards someone the way Edmond and I felt about each other. I fear it may be too late but by Gods will, maybe he will smile upon my loyalty to Edmond. Love is powerful, and I believe mine for Edmond is strong.
