A Night With The Past 68. Luciano
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

PresentFrom October to November 2016The night of the charity dinner had arrived, to my utter bewilderment, it was in an elegant place, an amazing place that was everything we had always been taught as glamorous, elegant and luxurious. He had no idea if he had paid for that with the money he managed to steal from the company or it was something he did at an earlier time. We didn't know anything about his background before he got his hands on this city's underworld again.So, when my brother came up to me in a tuxedo, I said:"I have a feeling it's going to be a different night..."And so it was, when we entered the luxurious museum, the doors were closed and the guests, who numbered about a hundred, were led to tables at which we sat. Enzo and I were alone, the stalls of Diana, Giulia and her future husband were empty. However, the rest of the tables were full, and at one in particular I saw one of the best friends of the love of my life in a stunning blue dress. It was then, when I
A Night With The Past 72. Emma
PresentFrom October to November 2016I was calmly chatting with my friends when the doorbell rang, Alice opened the door, and a delivery man said:"I brought a packet for Miss Cook.”She received it and I had to modulate the tension in my body, I pretended to be selfless and Lilly was the one who saw me with cunning. Then Alice closed the door and came back to bring me a small box that had a Dakota sender on it, with that I took it and ran to lock myself in my room."Is everything okay, Emma?" Lilly asked on the other side of the door."Yes, I think Grandpa sent me something, I need to check it private..."I was surprised that Mori used my past, so I knew that I must know everything or almost everything about it and it was not something I liked. When I opened the box, I saw a new phone, one that I soon turned on, and I saw a message on it.I'll be at my apartment tonight, I had to get closer because the last phone I gave you is compromised. Get rid of this one and go to the appointme

PresentNovember 2016I came home with a searing pain in my neck.I had a suspicion that it wasn't going to end there, that it was going to be a major problem."We must move..."That was the first thing I said to Alice when we arrived and she and Lilly looked at me as if the screws had come off."Why would anything that happened today make me move somewhere else when I'm so comfortable?" He asked and crossed his arms."If you didn't see the videos, or the interaction... Mr. A is Luciano Basciano's older brother, he's not going to release me just for the sake of it, and if he ran away, I'm running a risk that I can't...Al, the guy with the translations, the beam of technology and the only one who didn't see me as a piece of meat when I went to train for the FBI, knocked on the door and when I saw him, I knew that whatever it was, I had to take care of him right away."We need to talk," he said, and I nodded.My friends looked at him with surprise and then at me, then, with all the cal

Part IV. RevelationsPresentDecember 2016December came with a vengeance.The lives of the companions changed, some moved to continue in the same job, others thanked him for his mental benefit and still others just found themselves to forget the nightmare. Lilly forced her way in, waiting to finally be given a direct transfer to Virginia to move indefinitely to Prince Williams County and formally assist Quantico as a prototype agent. According to what she had told me, both to her and to Mori.The elephant in the room was Mr. A's subject.It was as if the shadows had swallowed him.There were very strange reports about it, it was launched in the most wanted bulletin, as well as Interpol was within the investigation, however, the sightings were not clear: Argentina, Italy, Peru and Spain.I still had security, one that let me work calmly and after weeks, everything went back to normal. I started with my new advertising job, one that I enjoyed catering to new clients, some very small as

PresentDecember 1016My world had withstood so many things, too many, but to see Emma in the arms of my greatest enemy felt like the dumbest betrayal of all. It was so intense that my brother just left me at home to deal with my thoughts."Don't judge her now when you didn't before, give her the benefit of the doubt and have the decency not to be a big jerk in the process," he said and I shook my head.I didn't understand what he meant until that morning when I found them in bed together and went crazy. After Emma said those painful words, she went straight to the stairs and I tried to follow her, but Enzo stopped me by taking my arm."It's not a good time to talk to her, not now...""You don't tell me what to do, you and she betrayed me, you...""You really are an!" He blurted out angrily. That woman loves you so much that she is unable to let you go, she has too many layers, but you push and push, doubt and believe the worst of her because your greatest enemy brainwashed you."I kn

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
