A Night With The Past 63. Emma
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

PresentSeptember 2016"I want you to tell me, princess, tell me... 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.

PresentOctober 2016Leaving Luc's house was hell.I was lucky enough to be able to take a taxi to drop me off at home and when Alice opened the door, I couldn't resist as I felt her arms around me, trying to contain my suffering, but it was too late.No one could stop what my lacerated heart felt."What's the matter, Emma?" Lilly asked anxiously, and I became aware of her presence."I couldn't stand it... I'm not that strong, I'm not.”I sobbed without further ado, with a lot of hysteria, and she changed her position with Alice, so that she looked for a way to calm me down as she used to do when a crisis hit me hard. It was brutal to fall into such a bad and desperate situation."I'll kill him! This time I will," Alice said in a rage, and paced back and forth, still looking at me.I hated that maelstrom of feelings; it was like going back to the bottom of the abyss.It was Monday, after two weeks of thinking about myself.I rested a lot, as much as I could after telling Rocco that I

PresentFrom October to November 2016My life before I found Emma was nothing, after she rejected me, it was hell. I became obsessive about one topic to let another go, to forget that the woman who loved me had rejected me, so, with help with company audits."Well, there are twenty-seven people who have been directly involved with these accounts," Leonardo said, and Jonathan handed me other papers."What's this?" I asked when I saw the red numbers."It's the amount of money that's come out of the conglomerate's coffers. To sum it up, they took a hefty amount of money out of you during these months, one that may be a pinch for all the net worth, but that is very evident to track when they made the moves.”"The person who made the moves must have had two things: absolute confidence that he would have free access, as well as that they wouldn't dig," said Leonardo, who got up to pour himself a glass of whiskey. “I narrowed down the list to the five people who could do it, and of those, fo
