December 2014

It 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.

    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

    PastMay 2015"What are they going to do to him?" I asked carefully."Nothing for her, we'll just put her out to party after the boys teach her a lesson," she explained, and when they laid her out on the other bed, I noticed that her white thong was stained red, which was a bad sign. “Forget about it, focus on us and what we want you to do.”"Good, tithe.""We want you to let all of them please you, while we have a juicy exchange... It's a lot of fun for me to watch.”That made everyone else laugh and I felt a chill run down my body, one that somehow told me it wouldn't be pretty. From one moment to the next I was charged, contradicting would be something in vain, my level of survival was higher so I smiled and controlled myself. I saw how the mayor gave hats to all of them and at least I felt relief inside because they followed Rocco's rule.Guests had no right to damage their products.The men gave me everything, while the friends gave life to each other, crying out and letting them

    PastJanuary 2016I had to go to the safe house.In the last few months, after my meeting with the mayor, the demand for me increased so disproportionately that Rocco called me into his office to put together a work plan for the rest of the year. The euphoria would subside from one moment to the next, so I would seek to squeeze myself to my heart's content, however, that was coupled with my investigative plans in which I was able to get valuable information for the FBI.That's why she went to an important party that took me to see that Guido was doing his thing with my payments and those of my friend, so I needed help in this regard.I had the feeling that the imbecile was up to something else, I just had no idea what, but I sensed something, and even more so when Lilly informed us not to trust Guido, to keep our eyes wide open.So, I wrote to Mori and he told me he would wait for me in an apartment in Harlem.I knocked on the door and he opened it for me, he looked wounded, beaten an

    PastJanuary 2016I woke up with a headache, in a soft bed, on some unfamiliar silk sheets and with the image of a man I never thought I would see."For a moment I thought it was the patch," said the man who was almost identical to Luc in a voice I'd never heard before, "now I feel like it's something else.”"I'm sorry, excuse me," I said with difficulty. “I didn't want to make him uncomfortable, it's just that... He looked a lot like someone I know, now that I see him, he speaks differently and is different.”"Well, I suppose the impact was because he was dead, wasn't it?" He asked with some doubt that made my hair stand on end."Something like that..." "I guess I don't know if he's still alive," the stranger openly admitted earlier. I'm sorry I ruined your evening; it won't happen again.”The promise did, I smiled in a way that felt cruel."Don't worry about that, Rocco told me you're making us a lot of money, so taking care of yourself is the least I can do," he said calmly, and th

    PastMarch 2016My life had gone the way it was supposed to be.I graduated and did a specialization; I took over and controlled the whole new and empowered Basciano-Moretti conglomerate. I stood by what I had to stand for so that the economy of my hometown would not be affected by the quarrels of bullies who thought the world revolved around them.It was a win-win, a smart mode, I just needed to get on the map.After moving to Boston and then moving to Washington D.C., I understood that I had to return to the financial capital of the world, whether I liked it or not, I had to return home to make things work better. It wasn't the right thing for me, but it was right for my family and their future.They deserved me to give them my best.My sister had been back for almost two years, I helped her set up a photography school so that she could make a living from her passion. However, with Enzo it was difficult, I didn't want to touch the money, I said I didn't need it and that I shouldn't

    PastMarch 2016"I think I'm hallucinating," I told my therapist. “Today I saw it, I saw it with my brother and that's impossible, so my head must be playing a very bad trick on me, it must be ridiculing me because it's not okay to see things like that.”"You're not crazy, maybe you confused her, but don't say things you might end up more confused about... Much more. You need to rest, have the closure you really deserve Luciano, let her go at last, accept that she made her decision and that you can no longer influence her.”"But..."He sighed and readjusted his thick-pasted glasses."I've been treating you for years, I've given you tools, exercises and so on, more than enough things for you to get out of it, but you're in denial, you're closed and so you can never be a free man, one who doesn't feel fear and gives himself the opportunity to be happy. You're sabotaging yourself and if you keep it up, I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop your case or refer you to someone else," he said,

    Part V. QuestioningPresentSeptember 2016I was about to break when the sound of heels interrupted us and a squeaky voice was heard in the background."You damned wretch! You've always been here," a woman said, causing me to slam my eyes open.I centered myself so I wouldn't turn around and he let go of me. which I didn't know how to interpret."It's all right, Giulia," she replied subtly, still looking at me."I've been trying to locate you from the gala." I got a rumor that you went off with a beautiful woman and I couldn't witness that," he said in an amused tone. “Can you explain to me what's going on?”I just laughed at the situation.Most likely, she was a jealous and multimillionaire girlfriend, I must have assumed that a man with the economic status of a Basciano-Moretti could be engaged to someone just as important, perhaps to a girl from the big families of old money or politicians."Is it Emma?" The woman asked."Yes, it's her," Luc replied suspiciously.I turned and detai

Just tell me what happened, I know I don't deserve it, but please tell me what else broke your heart," I pleaded with my heart in my hands and my soul broken."No, no...”She got up and ran off the property, for a few seconds I froze, then I went after her, but a scream stopped me on the spot.I turned to see my sister who followed me and looked at me in pain."Leave her, she seems to have a lot to figure out now and so do you... Let her dissect her time with you and let's go inside the house, the best thing you can do now is cry," my sister said and that's what I did.I walked with her and cried.Giulia poured me something strong, hugged me and gave me a kiss on the head that, instead of calming me down, only made the river contained inside me come out without further ado.I woke up with a tremendous sense of lethargy, Giulia entered the room with a tray loaded with burgers, my favorite juice, and cold brew coffee.

  • 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

    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

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...

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.

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.
