The flight to Italy lasted ten hours, and then a van with other drivers and bodyguards was waiting for them at Rome's private airport. Amber was nervous, not only because there were going to be a lot of people at the party, but also because meeting the rest of the Laureti family made her nervous.

"What if they don't want me? What if they despise me for being poor?" she thought with a sigh.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at Laureti Mansion. Amber was amazed to see it, it was similar to the one in Florida, only this one had a more modern architecture, plus the garden was colorful because of the different roses and flowers.

"Do you like it?" asked Fernando next to Amber.

They had already arrived at the mansion, and Amber was in the garden staring into nothingness, stroking her belly.

"Yes, my mother was very fond of flowers, she said it was a mysterious life in the gardens," he replied wistfully.

Fernando swallowed thickly, he knew perfectly well about Amber's mother's death, so

    "Did you already know each other?" Andrea asked, looking at both of them curiously."Hey, yes," they both said in unison."Well, I don't know him, I don't even know his name, I only saw him in the cemetery, on Mom's grave, but I didn't know you owned a fashion house," Amber looked at him, surprised.She held Andrea's hand tightly, because she felt strange, it wasn't just because the man knew her mom, there was something else, something strange, but what?"Yes. I'm sorry, my name is Aidan Byrne, yes, I know he's very Irish, but my father was Irish, my mother was American, and I was an American," I smile. A little bit of both.Amber smiled in his direction."Oh, I've always thought Amber is from Ireland, by the way, my love, isn't your father or mother from there, or some relative?" I'm saying this because of your red hair and your features, and you see that Aidan has them and..."No," he replied dryly. For some reason, the saliva had gotten stuck in his throat. My parents are American,

    Amber turned her body away from her sister, Angelica. But he couldn't help but feel his eyes fill with water. She was really trying to forget all that bad weather, she was really trying to forget that they had stolen her, that they had done with her what they wanted."What are you doing here?" He asked without looking at her."Oh, Amber, are you pregnant?" Does your husband own this mansion? She asked, looking around, amazed."Please, Angelica, I don't have time, tell me what you came here to do, and what you want," he turned to look at her.Amber's heart just hurt. Seeing his sister, her blood, again, was something that wreaked havoc on him."Papa wants to see you, he's in his last days, and he wants to talk to you before he dies," Angelica said, looking down.Amber swallowed thickly. A lump settled in her throat and a tear rolled down her cheek. Even though he hadn't been the best father, he was her father, and knowing that he was about to die hurt Amber, and it hurt her a lot, but

    Amber fell to her knees on the cold ground of the park where they were. Andrea didn't know why she was so broken, but the woman she loved so much was crying so inconsolably that it hurt Andrea to see her like this."Calm down my love, this hurts the baby, please try to breathe," he hugged her from behind trying to reassure her.Amber's eyes were red, her breath ragged. She was broken, very broken, because she had lived the last ten years full of pain, full of verbal abuse, full of anguish for people who were not even her blood."Listen to me," Andrea made her look at him. Whatever the letter says, we'll figure it out together, you hear me? Andrea's eye contact made Amber calm down.She hiccuped several times before sitting down and held out the letter to Andrea to read."Do it out loud, I promise to calm down, it's just like that, I feel like it's your sweet voice speaking to me," she said, closing her eyes.Andrea hesitated for a few seconds, but seeing Amber's serenity she began to

    Amber's face turned red, her cheeks swelled at the sight of Aidan in front of her, she couldn't explain what he caused, she looked at him in a way she still couldn't decipher, between admiration, respect, and devotion. Very rarely had she had those feelings with a person, but what Amber Rodriguez didn't know was that she was looking at Aidan Byrne with a daughter, she can look at her father; as if he were a hero."The pleasure has been all mine, it really is a dream to me," he replied with shining eyes."And many more things will come," he took her by the shoulders. Amber froze, the word "daughter" was etched in her mindShe smiled nervously and answered:"Why don't we celebrate?""Yes, this is something to celebrate," Andrea said with a smile."Yes, that's exactly what I've come for, I'd like to invite you to my house, I have something very important to say to Amber," Aidan's face turned pale, a lump down his throat."yes, well... Amber was going to accept the proposal, she didn't k

    Being in a hospital has never been so recurrent for me as the last few times, let alone as stormy as it has been until now. He looked at my bloody hands and tried to wipe them with the pants I'm wearing. I'm sure I'll fill them up trying to grab Amber loaded. A lump in my throat just remembering her bathed in blood is so small, so fragile, that it bothers me even more what happened."Do you want coffee?" Aidan asks, sitting down next to me.He nodded and picked up the glass to bring it to my mouth. As I drink coffee, tears fall from my eyes again. Aidan pats me on the back and asks:"What happened?" Who wants to hurt Amber? "Andrea!" She raised her voice a little and turned to look at him.I am aware that my blue eyes are fixed in his eyes. My gaze is lost, I know, and I never imagined having my gaze lost as I have until now."My wife, Astrid, she and her lover want to hurt us," I rub my face with my hands and let out a choked sigh.I can hear the beeping of oxygen machines ringing,

    Have you seen the sleeping beauties? They're beautiful, all princesses waiting for a prince charming to wake them up. That's what Amber looked like, her mouth was starting to take on the red color she used to, and her face was starting to light up and Andrea was next to her waiting to see her open her eyes. It had been three days since she had been admitted, and Amber had not woken up, the doctors had said it was because she had lost a lot of blood, and that her body was recovering."How's it going?" Sommer asked as he walked through the door.Andrea sighed, stretched out her hands, and stood up to get some water."She's still asleep, I've brought the child to her so she can feel her warmth and still nothing," he explained, looking at Amber asleep."And your father and sister know about this?" She asked curiously."Yesterday they called me that their father passed away, and their sister hasn't come, they're not their real family," Andrea stared at Sommer's face to see something differ

    Amber cracked her fingers nervously as she heard Andrea's words, How was it possible that they had the same blood type when it was so hard to get? She was bewildered, but she couldn't help but feel a chill in her stomach."What if he’s, my father?" He asked, feeling a current inside him.Aidan was a businessman, as well as a smart one, and if he was her father there was the big question: Why wasn't he with her all that time? Why didn't he look for it? Did he know?He swallowed thickly and looked at Chiara. She would never leave her daughter, ever, even in the worst difficulties. A tear came out of her eyes, why wasn't her father with her? Is it because his mother was married?"Amber, my love, I told you not to cry, you promised. You know what the doctor said, you must be calm," Andrea frowned.He had told Amber everything because Aida had given him a bouquet of roses, and a huge stuffed animal for the baby, and Amber had been surprised by so much attention."I just don't understand!"

    Amber's face was drenched with tears. Her countenance turned pale, and the words did not want to leave his mouth."You?" How? Why didn't you tell me? Amber's voice cracked."I'm so sorry Amber, I... I couldn't do it." Amber frowned.Aidan felt a weight come off his shoulders. He had been watching Amber from afar for years, longing for the exact moment to approach her."There's no excuse for a father not to be close to his daughter, I lived my life longing for a father," his voice cracked. Because mine was absent, do you know why? Because I wasn't his daughter, and you, who claim to be my father..."Amber, my father was a bad person. He forced me to marry Sommer's mother, even though I was in love with your mother. I always hid from him that we had a daughter, because he was capable of murdering you." Aida's voice cracked. He did it in the past, he sent to hurt your mother when she was pregnant with you. But we made her believe that she had had an abortion. Then, when he found out, the

    The church was surrounded by paparazzi. Demetrio had announced his son's wedding at a press conference a few days earlier, and since it wasn't presumptuous, he invited all the media. For that reason, in addition to all the journalists, there were a number of bodyguards surrounding the place, and above all they were on the sides of the red carpet that Demetrio had arranged to receive his daughter-in-law."Be still, man, stop moving," Fernando exclaimed, arranging his brother's tie.Andrea looked nervous. His hands were shaking, and his heart was leaping so fast that I could hear him."In their places, the bride has arrived, the bride has arrived!" Eva said excitedly.When Amber stepped out of the black limousine that had been set up for her, she almost cried as she watched the cameras sign them. The whole country was focused on the woman who had managed to get the Laureti family to make such a fuss. At that time, she was the envy of the entire United States, and even of the countries w

    Andrea:Seeing eleven women in the living room of the clinic was the strangest thing that happened in the following days, there were blondes, brunettes, redheads, and black hairs, except for brunettes. They all looked like models from magazines, with different faces, but certainly very beautiful. But that wasn't all, the thing was that my mother was having a heart attack when she asked one of them what they were doing there, and the girl replied:"We want to know how our master is doing."Eva's face was a giant grace, at least for me, who already knew what my brother did for a living, but without a doubt for my mother it was a great surprise."I think you were lucky that Mamma found out with you this way, because of the rest dear brother, you would have passed on to the afterlife for real," I said, arranging her pillows.Fernando looks at me in the middle of a grimace and then reaches up to pull his finger out. I smiled in his direction.Well, yes, my brother was saved from that bulle

I hear two detonations, one, directly at Alek, killing him instantly because it was lethal in one part, but the other that was going straight at me, fulminates my brother, because as a rare thing in him he got in the way, to be what he has always been; a hero, a hero who was with Amber when I wasn't, a hero who took me away from Astrid, a real hero, one who risked his life to save mine, my hero."No!! I cry out in pain.I take Fernando in my arms before he falls to the ground, and he touches his lower belly with both hands. My body is broken into thousands of pieces, and my soul

    My breasts were very full, and it hurt, the veins around them were marked by the accumulated breast milk. Everything really hurt, it wasn't just my breasts, it was also my soul, my soul hurt greatly as if half of my heart had been ripped out, I felt suffocated, broken, broken. I felt like a part of me was gone and I was terrified, terrified that it wouldn't come back, wouldn't come back.An hour ago, Andrea and Fernando had entered the office while I was changing my clothes, luckily Eva had implemented a GPS device in all of Angelica's belongings, and they were configuring her information to their mobiles to go to her.Is it that I didn't see it before? She told me, Eva told me that Angelica was a bad woman, that not everyone changes. This is my fault, I feel guilty, if something happens to my children, I will die with them I will die."That's it, we have the location, Fernando takes several bodyguards and let's leave immediately, you stay here my love, please," Andrea tells me, but I

    As Eva had said, she had traveled that same day in the evening with Demetrio, the twins had gone to Uncle Antonio's house, and Fernando and Andrea were at work. Since Amber had been left home alone with the kids and Ramona.She had woken up that day with a lot of enthusiasm. Andrea had told him the night before that the wedding would be in two weeks and that after that they were going to take some time away from everyone to spend most of their time alone. So, he decided to give her a surprise that night, he didn't want her to always look disheveled and ugly because of Chiara's arrival. She knew that her future husband was an important, attractive man and that there were many women out there waiting for an oversight to catch him, and if that happened, she would never put up with it."Where are you going, little sister?" Angelica asked, leaning against the door frame.Amber smiled in his direction and replied:"I'm going out to buy myself something nice, so tonight I can prepare a divin

    To Amber's bad luck, Angelica had slipped into the family night Andrea had organized and had ended up tucked into the couch with her legs on the center table, eating cotufa and watching movies with them. Something that bothered Andrea a lot, because the four of them were supposed to be together, and not the new "sister-in-law" in an inopportune way.On the other hand, Amber felt pressured, she was realizing very quickly that Angelica was a problem, a very big one, and even more so the next morning.They were all gathered together for breakfast waiting for the girl, for as it was not his custom, she had not risen, and as Demetrius hated to eat without all being at the table, he decided to wake the princess."This seems unheard of to me, this girl gets up very late, it's eight o'clock in the morning and she's still asleep," Eva exclaimed annoyed.Amber looked down sadly. Angelica was always very lazy, and she knew it, but she believed that she could change, that being in a house other t

    "What are you doing here, Angelica?" Amber asked with a frown. Even though she was Andrea's wife, she was very embarrassed to abuse her trust and let people come to that house to bother her."Amber, little sister," Angelica exclaimed, hugging Amber tightly.Amber froze. Angelica had never been loving to her, let alone called her "little sister" unless it was out of sarcasm."What happened?" Did something happen? Amber asked again, trying to get Angelica out of her body.She didn't know why, but she didn't like her attitude at all, and it made her feel uncomfortable."I'm so sorry Amber, I know I wasn't good to you, but now that my father is gone," Angelica sobbed, "I have nowhere to go, I feel lonely, and I believed..." that I could stay here for a while, while I scrape together some money to leave the country.Amber opened her eyes wide, a while. What did that mean? Did Angelica want to stay? Amber looked at Evangelina who was in front of her with Chiara in her arms and she furrowed

    Aidan was holding a beautiful porcelain doll in his hands. When Amber saw the doll, her eyes filled with tears. He remembered her very well, her mother had given him that doll on her 6th birthday, and had told him that it was very special, to take good care of it. Amber took care of that doll with her life, but one day her sister Angelica destroyed her. He stood up with difficulty and opened his hands as tears fell from his eyes."Daughter, I'm sorry," Aidan cried painfully.Amber couldn't utter a word. Her tears began to fall inconsolably as Aidan stroked her hair, while he also wept inconsolably."I forgive you, now I know you were always there, and I didn't know it," he said in a whisper.After a few seconds, they both cried silently, as if they needed it. Sommer cleared his throat in Amber's direction, and she immediately looked up at her sister, her blood sister, the one she had longed for every day of her life and who was now there, with her."I want a hug too, little sister,"
