I was engaged to a handsome, young, strong, soldier. We were very much in love and couldn't wait to get married. Our engagement was 1 week long. He was the sweetest man but on our wedding day he turned out to be an awful villain! In front of everyone he accused me of being unfaithful. He said that I shared my bed with another man! How could that be? I am innocent and he damned me. The man in which I thought loved me would not believe me when I said that he was truly mistaken. Because of all the accusations from him and Don Pedro, a well trusted friend of my father, AND my father's doubt of me! I was overwhelmed. I couldn't breathe. I fainted. How can Claudio humiliate me in such a way? I thought he loved me. When I woke from the faint, he was gone. The priest suggested to send me to a nunnery but not before trying to deceive the whole city that I was dead. And through that deception we were able to see if Claudio truly loved me. Alas, he did not care for my death. He mocked my father and uncle. Oh my foolish heart! How can I have loved such a wretched man? and because of that man, I am here in this nunnery, locked away from the world. He has caged, dishonored, tainted me, my name, and my family. I will never to be married! Oh what a rotten card the world has dealt me!
