He'll think about what that means for his sense of self, and he'll come to the realization that he can't go on pretending to be someone he's not.
After John made his decision, he started to put his plan into action. He sold all of his possessions, keeping only what he needed to start a new life. He packed his bags and bought a plane ticket to a small town, far away from the life he used to know. On the plane, he felt a sense of both nervousness and excitement. He was ready for a fresh start, but he wasn't sure what that would look like. He arrived in the town and began to look for a place to stay.
After checking into a small hotel, John set out to explore the town and look for a place to live. He visited a local cafe for breakfast, and he struck up a conversation with the waitress. She was friendly and welcoming, and she mentioned that she knew of a room for rent in the area. She told John about the town and all of its amenities, and he began to feel hopeful about his new life. He thanked the waitress and took her number, in case he had any questions.
As John walked around the town, he noticed a "for rent" sign on a small cottage near the edge of town. He called the number on the sign and arranged to meet with the landlord. When he arrived at the cottage, he was immediately taken with its charm. It was small and cozy, with a kitchenette and a living area that was just the right size for one person. The landlord showed him around, and John decided to take the place on the spot. He spent the rest of the day moving in his things and settling into his new home. As the sun set, John stood on his porch and watched the sky turn orange and pink. He felt a sense of peace and contentment that he hadn't felt in a long time. For the first time in months, he felt like he could breathe. He thought about his old life, and he felt grateful that he had the opportunity to start over. As the stars began to come out, he realized that he was ready to begin the next chapter of his life.
John realized that his new life in this town wouldn't be complete without a purpose. He began to search for a shop to rent, so he could start his own business. He browsed the local classifieds, and he began to imagine the possibilities. He pictured himself running a small bookstore, a cafe, or even a gift shop.
John decided to open a small bookstore. He found a perfect location for his shop, and he began to make plans for the layout and design. He envisioned shelves of books, cozy chairs, and a cafe area for customers to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. He started to get excited about his new venture, and he felt hopeful about the future.
John sat in the park, listening to the birds chirping and the wind rustling through the trees. The sun warmed his skin, and he felt a sense of peace. It was the first time in a long time that he had truly felt at ease. He closed his eyes and allowed himself to relax and enjoy the moment. John had set up his new bookstore, and business was starting to pick up. He was busy helping customers and stocking the shelves, but he knew he needed some help. He decided to put up a help-wanted sign in the window, and he waited for applications to come in. After a few days, he received a letter from a woman named Mary. She explained that she was looking for work, and she was hoping to find a position that would allow her to provide for her family. She mentioned that she had some experience in retail, and she was eager to learn more.
John was impressed by Mary's letter, and he decided to call her for an interview. When she arrived, he was struck by her warm smile and her positive attitude. She explained that she was a single mother of two, and she was looking for a job that would allow her to be there for her children. She had always loved books, and she thought she would be a good fit for the position. John agreed, and he offered her the job on the spot.
John could tell from Mary's appearance and demeanor that she was not from a wealthy background. She was dressed simply, and her clothes were a bit worn. But she carried herself with a dignity and grace that impressed John. She spoke clearly and confidently, and she seemed eager to learn and do a good job. John thought that she would be a valuable addition to his small team.
The first day of Mary's new job started off with a tour of the bookstore. John showed her around, and he explained the various tasks she would be responsible for. She seemed eager to get started, and she asked a lot of questions about the inventory and the daily operations. After the tour, John showed her to the small office where she would be working. She looked around and smiled, and John knew that she was happy to have this opportunity.
After a few weeks, Mary had become an invaluable member of the bookstore team. She had quickly learned the inventory system, and she was always friendly and helpful with the customers. John was impressed by her dedication and work ethic, and he began to trust her more and more. One day, a customer came in who was particularly difficult to deal with. The customer was demanding and rude, and Mary handled the situation with grace and professionalism. This impressed John even more, and he knew that he had made the right decision in hiring her.

It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned.

She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
