Christine Stanzolio. The name itself sounds odd, yet so right. Vittorio and I are getting ready for our honeymoon. We plan to take a private plane to Rome. From there, we are going to Lake Bolsena. Vittorio is renting a ship and a captain to help us navigate. Then, we will land on Martana island. After that, we will spend the rest of the honeymoon absorbing the culture.

I want Vittorio all to myself so that we can rekindle the flame between us. I want to show Vittorio how much I love him. Vittorio is always busy running his company.

Maria Borges as Christine Gyamfi Present- November 20th, 2035 This book is terrible. That is all I can say. Whenever I look at this book, especially this first chapter, it just makes me want to pull my hair out of my scalp. Sometimes, I think that I should delete this book. I know that this is a bit confusing, but let me explain. My name is Christine Gyamfi. I am 31years old. I was born in Canada in 2004. My family and I moved to the United States until I returned to get my degree. My birthday is on the 27th of April. My ethnicity is Nigerian. And I wrote the original version of this book in 2020. I just don't get it. I remember when this book was my greatest achievement. To be fair, I was sixteen and very naive. I would always fantasize about how my stories would captivate my audience. But fifteen years later, I cringe at the awfu

Philip Bottenberg as Vittorio Stanzolio ~Vittorio~ Present- December 22nd, 2035 Vittorio and I are sitting on the couch together. I am showing him some of the garbage. This is better known as the original version of this book. He keeps telling me that the original version is okay. But right now I’m going to show him the evidence. This will prove to him that it’s awful. "Okay. So basically, you think that the book you made sixteen years ago is terrible. However, what I see right here looks fine to me. I think you’re just overreacting," Vittorio says after skimming through the third chapter. I look at Vittorio as if the man is blind. I know that he is not actually reading the book. It's nice that he is sparing my feelings, but he is wrong. "Well, since you say that I am overreacting, then you must be right. But why don't I just read one of my excerpts out loud?" I propose.

Abdullah and Johnathan both work at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Abdullah is a doctor, and Johnathan is the head counselor. I have never been on the premises before; I hope that they weren’t busy. I ask the receptionist about Abdullah’s office, and she tells me that it is the first door on the left.

Seriously, how come no one is asking me questions? As I app

But I'm shocked to see that it isn't Johnathan that opens the door, but instead, it's Abdullah. "Hello, Christine, how are you doing?" I smile as I physically relax. For some reason, Abdullah always makes me feel at ease. "I'm doing fine, thank you. Um, where is Johnathan, exactly?" "Oh, John is sleeping at the moment. Yesterday was a bit hectic.
