Alessandra had many things which angered her today from her father creating letters in her name to Rose pestering her about her duties as Edgar's wife and now learning of Grant's evil deeds. She needed a break when it came to bad news.
Things between her and Edgar were going so well, especially after how they spent his birthday. She would never tell him but she would like for them to magically go back to yesterday when it was just the two of them at home and they were tangled up in each other's arms.
"I do have a few things I want to let go of," Alessandra replied, going to pick up her own canvas to destroy. "I am tired of people meddling in my life. I always try to be respectful," she said, hitting the canvas against the floor. "I don't want to upset the relatives Edgar is close to because I don't want their relationship to be ruined. I know what it is like to be alone without family and it is not something I want for Edgar."
