A Night With The Past 32. Emma
PastJune 2009"Your father asked about you.”That wasn't the phrase I wanted to hear. Not after living in the anxiety of whether I had seen the video or not. My grandfather had taken it upon himself to update my mother on what had happened, the tests I was sent to take, and my uncle's reaction. Her face of disappointment was frightening, it was as if she had taken his side at once, which was far more painful than I anticipated. It wasn't a good thing at all. I remember what he said to my grandfather was:"We must prevent Abel from finding out about this, I'll try to convince him that it's better for everyone for Emma to sleep at your house since she's going to work with you," he explained out of nowhere, "though I doubt he'll accept so easily because it's you. Also sending it to my sister's house may work, but it would be very cumbersome...”"The best thing would be to tell Abel what's going on, to tell him the whole situation so he knows what's going on, so he understands his daught

PastJune 2009He had a girlfriend.I was happy and to make her happy I just asked the only thing I could think of."Do you want to eat hamburgers?"She laughed."Of course, in the best place in Aberdeen, but first we leave things at that.That's what we did, I took her to her grandfather's house, I helped her get everything down. I heard her sing the same Taylor Swift song she had sung earlier and smiled. It was good to see that, despite the bad, he didn't get carried away by it, he was looking for reasons to rejoice.It was a light that I wanted to illuminate my darkness.Soon after, she came down changed, much more comfortable and with a mischievous smile that made me furrow my eyebrows. He was up to something, but he didn't know exactly what."Do you have shorts that are comfortable for you to wear in the water?""Actually... No.”"I can get you something from David that's left around," he offered, and I didn't hide my puzzled expression."Is it clean? It's not for nothing, but th

PastJuly 2009The happiest weeks of my life flew by.I was happy despite the strict schedule we had in the workshop, even though Grandpa watched TV while Luc explained math to me at the other end of the room. He was the most radiant person in the world.Of course, not everything was perfect, the days I stayed at the family home were heartbreaking. I had suspicions that my father was beating my mother and that he wouldn't stop him, he had started pinching me, pulling my hair or pushing me."Just don't make him angry," my mother said when I complained about the pinches that were becoming more and more aggressive."It's not right what Mom is doing.”"Avoid it.”I took him at his word, in the last week I locked myself in my room, where I did the homework that Luc gave me to practice while remembering the kisses stolen in the workshop. He pined for the boy who wouldn't open up.I couldn't push him, like that day when he saw me with a sad smile and asked me about Grandpa, so I leaned back

PastJuly 2009I had to calm my urge to beat Callum to death.The was on fire, jealous that Emma had a boyfriend, but he was even more on fire that he had been duped by Chloe. So, I shook my thoughts. I went to get the camping table Emma told me about and when I was done, Bruce's phone rang and beckoned me to go with him to his studio.It must have been Grandpa's news.We hadn't heard from him in over a month, which was bad."Yes, you talk to him, well... No, of course, I'll be there," Bruce said before hanging up to see me. “Your grandfather left me a letter in Minneapolis, so I have to wait for the parts replenishment trip to go get it.”"Can't we go together first?""No, it's very dangerous and I can't get out of the routine, you know that.”"Fine, but if you ever know anything sooner, just tell me," I begged and he nodded."Bring the trays, I'm going to get the things I need to replace."I nodded and walked out, surprised that Chloe was in the hallway with her face expressionless,

PastFrom July to August 2009My life had become hell on earth.I had no other way to describe it.After my father picked me up from the workshop, he slapped me."Since when have you sold yourself like any other?" He asked in a tone of voice that left no doubt of his level of fury."I've never sold myself like that, you have to believe me, Dad," I said, tears welling up in my eyes. “I'm a virgin, I've never been with anyone... I was drugged at that party and I don't remember anything, we can go to the doctor to check it out.”He looked at me contemptuously."I hope so, or there won't be any trace of you that will be free of belt marks," he threatened, and I died a thousand deaths.He went straight to the medical center, asked for a gynecology consultation, and the level of humiliation they put me through felt brutal."The membrane is completely formed," she explained, and I burst into tears. “The rectum is normal, with no lesions or openings that indicate the onset of intimate activit

Part III. Broken SoulPastAugust 2009I had had the best day of my life.I was happy to have Emma in my life, but I never thought it would all go to hell so quickly. Sometime after seven o'clock in the morning, the phone I had bought rang and I cursed under my breath at the interruption.That made Emma sits up suddenly, and I had no choice but to answer the call."All right, Bruce?" I asked right away."No, your elder brother came to the village and asked for you, I don't know how, but he found the workshop and asked for an emergency service. It was a trap to get to know me and ask me if I knew anything about you," he replied, and my world came crashing down. “I told him that I didn't know anything about you, but he insisted that I had to tell you something important about your brothers, besides giving you essential news. The boy is not a fool. He said it would happen again in a few days.”"What? No, fuck what he wants!” I blurted out annoyed, irritated that he was another damn manip

PastAugust 2009It's been three days since our first time.That same day my cousin came to pick me up to drag me with the usual group to the lake, but I refused, apart from the fact that it was going to be left over as usual, I felt tired from the sleepless night I spent with Luc.I just wanted to sleep and cry, even though I didn't know why yet.I refused to be aware of why.My aunt told me that she would stay longer, to let my grandfather know if she needed anything, and to be careful. From the call until that moment, I had no sign of my boyfriend, so when he knocked on the door in desperation while I was in a bathrobe, with a towel in my hair and an avocado mask, I was shocked."What's the matter, love? Why are you like this?” I asked, shocked to see him distressed."I came on foot," he said as if that explained everything, which brought more doubts to my mind."What? But that's miles of distance, was the truck damaged again?”He passed by and threw himself on the couch, then saw

PastAugust 2009Being in Emma's arms was heaven.It hurt my heart to imagine that I had to leave without explaining everything to her, it hurt my heart not to be able to confess to her that at the end of the week I would leave for New York to solve the family problems I had, it hurt my heart because in some way I would hurt her. That's why, after that first fabulous time, I wrote him a letter in which I explained a few things:Dear princess, if you look at this it's because I had to leave, so from the bottom of my soul, I ask your forgiveness for leaving you... I had to go and resolve some issues that tie me to New York, ones that I must close in order to be the free man you deserve to be taken care of, to love you without restrictions.

A Night With The Past Hanna's Story
Emma's BirthHannaI was tired of fighting.I had to do it for the child I was carrying in my womb because otherwise, I had no reason to continue. I was weak, discarded, and with my soul in pieces, without the consolation of saying that no one had told me. My whole family was at pains to remind me how foolish I would be if I let myself be carried away by the love of a man who wasn't worth it.They were right.The result was to run away with him, leave my house like a thief, and travel with the thought that my love story would have a happy ending. It didn't—quite the opposite. What would be a life away from a controlling father and siblings, where I could do whatever I wanted and no one would force me one more day to do what I didn't like, became a dark hole that swallowed me up without letting me get out of it.It was scary and very disturbing.Bruno was just the bait that someone else used to kidnap me from my life, my roots and origins in Britton.

Months later...EmmaWe went for Aurora.I was a little girl who was abandoned at the entrance of a church, she had a terrible story, but she was one who told me she needed all the support in the world. She came from a family of Latino immigrants, she was a beauty of a creature, but she was afraid of people, of the world, of people.And rightly so.I couldn't blame her for it, it was just a matter of trust.She was eight years old when we met her, isolated from the rest while drawing fairies and magical creatures. The first one who saw her was Luc, when I looked for him, I ran into her and I just fell in love and even more so when they told me that she went through many shelters where she ended up with some kind of problem because people had no patience for her silence. That caught my interest and when I found out that she was aware of how a family member left her, pushed her aside, I just wanted to do all the paperwork right away.She was hurt, lacked confidence, and deserved all the

PresentOctober 1017"Well, Luciano, you can start exercising, soft things, nothing high-impact, you must recover your previous condition, but yes, I give you my blessing to have intimacy.”We burst out laughing, I saw my sister typing mischievously and I asked her:"Did you write to my girlfriend?""No, I wrote to the one I want to be mine, but it's very hard to crack, I have a feeling it's going to be a very difficult ninja path to travel," he blurted out solemnly and I shook my head over his nonsense."Take it easy, Alice has a past that hides beneath that noble heart, be careful and don't pressure, she must have her time...""Well, I'll drop you off at home and then I'll go to the academy, so...""No, I need to go to the headquarters of the companies, I have something very important to do there and I'll take one of the cars I have there," I asked and he looked at me suspiciously."Well, let's go.”When I got to my office, I looked at the person who was filling in for me, a person

PresentAugust 2017Luc was still the same, a little more stable for passing the critical stage, but the same.I spent the day with all of them, Diana left early to be with her baby and me, Giulia, Enzo and Lilly went to the cafeteria for dinner."What do you want to eat? I talked to the manager of the cafeteria and juggled to get something decent," Enzo said and I didn't even know what to say."I'll just eat some fries and a soda, today is the day to break the diet," Giulia said and her brother shook his head, but didn't say anything."I'll eat a hamburger, thanks," Lilly said.Both she and Enzo saw me and I had no choice but to lie to them, so I sighed deeply and said:"Like Giulia, I don't have much of an appetite and I don't know if I'll be able to eat anything else.”Then a man not so old, perhaps about Uncle Ismael's age, appeared and Giulia got up to go and hug him tightly."Who is it?" Lilly asked and I shook my head."I don't have the slightest idea about it," I admitted.I s

PresentAugust 2017"I wondered if you would follow the route of the road, but no, I thought that the best thing you could do was to seek help," Adriano said mockingly as the six men around us laughed."Don't do this, Adriano," Luc muttered clemiciously."Of course, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it very well, so well that I'm not only going to go get you, but I'm going to make sure that Giulia and Enzo suffer a lot," he blurted out angrily, and I watched as the dogs we heard came out from behind the trees."Put me down so I can help you," I said softly to my beloved, and he ignored me."Separate them," Adriano ordered, and that made Luc squeeze me much tighter.The men came over and the dogs growled, that's when I knew it would all end badly, so badly that my tears came out without any filter. I was thrown at the feet of Mr. A, who bent down to see me with a wicked smile."What I'm going to do with you will be the funniest thing, Emma.”I swallowed hard and restrained myself fro

PresentAugust 2017Guido was a demented one."Please don't do anything stupid, murdering a billionaire like Luciano Basciano will put a target on your back, you won't be able to live, you won't be able to run away easily," I said in an attempt to negotiate with him and touched my earrings, begging Enzo to pick up the signal."Don't want to see my idiot face, just... Don't do it, it's your fault that I already have that bullseye on my back," he explained cheerfully."You're not thinking with your head, release him before the FBI sneezes and does an unprecedented search," I offered, and he laughed."Emma," Luc said a little nervously."Just be crafty, if you leave Luciano near the road, he'll pay you a lot for me, use that, give you anything to free me later...""Shut up! You talk incessantly and if you don't want me to lose patience with both of us, just shut your mouth," he blurted out furiously and I restrained myself.”He kicked the seat and I squealed with some drama that made Luc

PresentAugust 2017"I'm all ears," I said with difficulty."Things have become difficult for me in these months. I'm not going to lie to you, it's still hard to understand everything, but now I'm coping calmly and the therapies help. Opening up was something I always wanted and didn't imagine it would be so painful.” His voice cracked a little, and I held back. “Now I see events more clearly and I am able to accept my mistakes.” He smiled with a bed. “It's up to me to give myself the opportunity to supplant hatred with love, to recover the illusion of the uncertain and to believe in what is really worthwhile.”"That's good..."It was unmatched."Yes, it is. However, it's not an easy thing to do, saying it motivates you, but doing it is taking it to another level. Continuing in pain won't do anything for us and I want to remedy that.” The understanding of his words showed me the clear and stark reality of us. “Your life went on after you left Britton, it's such a different one...

PresentAugust 2017"Say what you have to say.""My cousin will never forgive me, and I'm aware of that.” The phrase made me hesitate, especially because of the perennial lament she had. “I want to tell the whole truth once and for all.”"What are you talking about?" I asked, not understanding anything.She avoided the gaze as if she had a hard time holding it."When you guys started dating, things changed a lot for me. Emma was all about her family and she was immersed in the love they feel... That made me feel displaced and I made stupid things because of my jealousy that affected both of us.”"Why tell me and not her?""It's something I'll do in due course, when he's able to hear me... Now, I know it's not the time and I must tell you something that involves you. That's why I came to you first, Luciano.”His tone of voice was weak, but the firmness in the last few sentences was all seriousness."I don't know what you mean by telling it now.
