She thought about leaving a note telling Allan what she did, but she decided she didn't care enough about him anymore after what he'd done to her. She went upstairs to draw a bath. While the tub was filling, she took out her sleeping pills and headed back down to the kitchen. She poured herself a glass of wine, took half a dozen pills, grabbed the paring knife and walked upstairs. She changed her mind about the note, but instead of leaving it for Allan, she addressed it to Christina.
Christina – You know Regina and Ethan betrayed me in the cruelest way imaginable. I can't forgive them; I suppose I get that stubbornness from Leo. I fully accept the responsibility for what I did to them in return, but I can't go to jail for it. I will dole out my own punishment myself. I know you won't understand this, but sometimes you get mired in the minutiae and can't get out from under it any other way. Life goes on around you, but doesn't include you. It's better this way. If this letter will stand up in a probate court, I want you to have my share of everything and hopefully the restaurant will go to you. You're going to need it for that baby. You're an idiot for letting yourself get pregnant. Life goes on. -Georgia
She lit candles in the bathroom, turned off the overhead light and eased herself into the water. It was warm and relaxing. She could feel the effects of the wine and was starting to get sleepy from the pills. She grabbed the knife and held it up. The light glinted off the side of the bevel and she thought, it's kind of funny how appropriate it was to name the restaurant Bella Donna's. It was as if Leo had poisoned us all, himself included, as soon as he established it.
She brought the knife to her wrist, took a deep breath and finished the last step in her plan.
