"Condemn" To express an unfavorable or adverse judgement on. To pronounce to be guilty. To sentence to punishment. To give grounds or reason for convicting or censuring. To doom to eternal punishment in hell. I knew I had met the love of my life when I met Elijah Lombardi. What I didn't know was my world would be flipped inside out. That he would pass judgement on me and pronounce me guilty for crimes I did not commit. I tried to escape him, knowing he would hunt me down. Just when I thought I was safe, he came. Came to sentence me to punishment. On some level, I wanted to be found. I still loved the cruel man. Even when he locked me away like a real prisoner. To convict me of those crimes I still knew nothing about. After oscillating between love and hate, he revealed to me the truth. An ongoing rivalry between two Italian families. And I'm caught right in the middle. I'm made aware of a girl that has been buried deep inside of me. I had a choice to make. Choose the family who gave me up for my safety. Or choose love. The man who loves me. Or the man that constantly makes my heart tremor for him, just to crush it, over and over. I made the choice and realized too late it was the wrong one. Giving grounds for my conviction. Dooming myself to eternal punishment in hell. Now, I have no idea whether the man ever really loved me, or if it was all part of his condemnation.
