A Night With The Past 54. Luciano
PastFebruary-June 2012I signed the divorce and got my fortune back at a high cost.Those months after Ariella's death were very hard, they were ones in which I had to do catharsis, concentrate on college once and for all, as well as take my life into my own hands. According to the FBI, the mob had been dispersed, petty thieves remained, but there were no people who posed much danger to me or my family. The case by that time was closed, however, the feeling of emptiness was unbearable.Because of this, the lawyer dragged me to a therapist."You need help, you have to give in a little and someone can give you a hand to better manage your emotions," Alejandro said. “You're a guy who's going to be twenty years old, barely... You've been through a lot in a very short amount of time, it stands to reason that you need help with everything. Life will go on; you have four years left to touch without problems the fortune that you must manage for your family... You have to improve, if not for

PastJune 2012"Yes, I... What are you doing here, Luc?" Chloe asked seriously."Come and get Emma."She was very shocked by my phrase, one that was more than obvious at the time, only for her it was like something unthinkable and that put me at a disadvantage, it made me feel very insecure."She's not here," he said simply, and I nodded."I can wait for you. “"You just don't understand..." She doesn't live here anymore.The news surprised me and pleased me."Do you have her contact details? I'd like to see her..." I asked with a bit of pleading in my voice and she looked at me seriously."Emma is gone from Britton," he announced, and I frowned."Well, do you have the information, or do you not want to tell me anything? I think it's very silly that at this point in life you're still...”He interrupted me immediately."Emma left Britton, left us, and we don't know anything about her," he announced firmly, and that really left me speechless. “Look, I don't know what you're looking for

PastJuly 2014Being a lady-in-waiting came at a very high price, as high as dignity.With those two years of working, I had completely lost her, as well as her modesty and disgust. Somehow, I adapted to the lifestyle, I made it my own in a way that made it my character and a second skin."I can't imagine you coaching girls now," Lynn said humorously, "not after your first failures.”That made Alice and I laugh."Well, at some point in life, students outperform the teacher," I pointed out humorously as we watched another hardcore-type workout, one that was being a little softer than usual. “She has to hold her breath better or she'll suffocate to death.”I pointed out something obvious and Lynn went to check on that, so I just watched it all happen. However, Rocco did something he had never done in all the time he had gone to the bar to practice or give lessons. He entered with some men and they surrounded three very blonde, pale girls who looked drugged.They were taken to the back

PastJuly 2014They took me to a house on the outskirts of town and when I tried to send a message to my friend, the guy took the phone out of my hands, which made me look at him with hatred and he laughed in response."We're not idiots, you're going to write to somebody.”"It's logical, you fool..." I have to tell them something or they're going to get me and that means calling Rocco, who controls the area where you took me from and will look at the cameras set up on the street," I said confidently when it could have been a complete lie. “I need to tell them something convincing so that they don't get suspicious since one of them is waiting for me.”He nodded and asked:"Which of them?""Lilly, give it to me, if I write to you without following our peculiar way of speaking, you'll be suspicious," I asked and tried to take her cell phone.He was only faster, so without hesitation he typed nimbly and then sent a message, that made me lose much more than patience. Even more so when he t

PastJuly 2014Dinner with the Europeans was boring me.I was so lazy that I refrained from yawning everywhere, which was more troublesome than anything else. The English spoke of some investments in their land that were not of interest to Rocco, only the fact that they came to make some investments with the Basciano family and some constructions with some so-called Dantes. I had never taken on the task of researching, in fact, I didn't care about them because they were millionaires who were a lifetime away from knowing them.Yes, it was general knowledge that they were powerful people, but from there to investigate them, it was not a question that mattered to me because they never came down from their pedestals, they never associated with people of dubious reputation, which made everything much more distant. They were old foxes with power, money and they didn't need to do simple things, but only deigned to do what was concretely beneficial to them.I suppose half-deals with Englishme

PastOctober 2014I had trained myself to be a gossip par excellence.It wasn't fun, I had to follow patterns, search phones, computers, and make everything seem normal. The fool Mori, along with other agents, prepared me to know how to shoot, even though I already had hunting practice, as well as to have notions of self-defense and to be as fast as I could. However, the biggest training I had was lying.The detective in charge made me an escort, sufficiently sought after by clients with better purchasing power, and Rocco somehow promoted me.That's why I was ready to go to a business dinner of some Russians who had come to talk to Rocco's bosses, ones who were so hidden and in the shadows that their names were never mentioned. She saw me as a goddess and when Lilly dropped me off at the hotel, she told me what I expected from her:"Be practical, and if become a real problem, just dial and have your phone ready for it.""Don't worry, mother hen...”"These are men connected to the Brat

PastDecember 2014It was the end of the year and my friends had business to attend to.Lilly was going to a party where she had to take care of Rocco, who had somehow made her integrate into his security arch. I knew well that it was more than problematic, however, it was already a decision that had been more than made.In Alice's case, there was the Caribbean, enjoying a doctor who took her to take him on the most pleasant end-of-year vacation of her sad life. He was a single doctor, who belonged to a well-to-do family, and who had become a regular client of Alice's, whom she herself had to keep away. However, she liked the man to serve her in a way that others did not, even though it bored her. Dr. Koch was a nice guy, a client who stepped out of the norm of arrogant damn people who just wanted more than attention. It was problematic in more ways than one, yet it was still there.I had my suspicions that I would always keep asking for it.I didn't want to go in a two-for-one becaus

PastMay 2015When 2015 arrived, I didn't imagine that it would make me Rocco's most sought-after lady-in-waiting. One who could afford to say which clients to serve and which not to serve, to put a limit on how many times they could see me per year, and who had somehow paid their debts to the men who held me hostage. Or well, they made me get that excited, so I said that I would take my time and that I would still continue to enjoy the advantages that the business gave me.I wasn't an idiot, there I was making necessary connections for the future, one that was shaping up very well according to my bank account. So, I kept making my donations, kept saving and continued in the same routine, only now I could add more care and protection. The fact that she was an escort, who was gaining her rise in high society, was a very prominent point for many. That's why I avoided social media like the plague, I didn't want things to blow up in my face from one moment to the next.And so it was, that

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. After a twenty-two-hour drive to Ne
A Night With The Past Extra Love
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
A Night With The Past Epilogue
Three years later...LucianoWe would finally have our happy union.She, as an adventurer, decided that she didn't want a big gala or celebration, but wanted to have a quick and fun meeting in Las Vegas, that's why we were there, in one of the most iconic chapels on The Strip.Emma seemed like a goddess in every sense of the word.Seeing my wife walk towards me in a beautiful champagne satin silk dress and with a long neckline that incited all my desires, was not only what excited me, but my biggest dream more than fulfilled. I felt in the clouds because of the beauty she gave me, because of the immense love she gave me and because she agreed to be with me, before that, I could not avoid some tears, it was something automatic that not only touched the audience, it touched her much more who also let some tears slip from her eyes and when she arrived at the altar, Bruce gave it to me with great love."Here I give you my granddaughter, live to make her happy, don't break her heart again

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. What makes you think I want to know anyth
