Lilibeth DomínguezI'm on my way to a very nice coffee shop I found yesterday in Orvieto, Italy. It's a very peaceful place and I like it. I've been living here for just over a week now, as I have nothing holding me back in my home country. After the death of my parents, I felt so lonely that I needed to seek a new adventure, but I never thought that what I would experience in the following days would be more than just an adventure.I leave the coffee shop with a delicious ice cream when I see a man who takes my breath away. He's sitting down, but I can tell he's over six feet tall, muscular, blue eyes that stand out against his tanned skin, especially with that jet-black hair. The woman accompanying him is beautiful in every sense of the word, with her reddish hair, fair skin, tall, and a great figure, as she catches the attention of every man passing by. our gazes meet for a few seconds, and I feel a flutter in my heart, but I'm the first to look away and then continue on my way.It
"By the way, his mother gave me this," I said, pulling out the chain the woman gave me before she died. It's a chain with a gold ring and next to it is a beautiful heart-shaped locket adorned with small diamonds forming a "K." I hand him the chain, he takes it, and I can see a hint of pain in his eyes. Then he pulls my arm again, and I'm starting to get annoyed; I don't like it when he does that."My boss says if Mrs. Katherina said anything else," he demands urgently, sounding just like his boss."Yes, she said something like 'Per favore, prenditi cura del mio bambino' (please take care of my son)," I look at the little boy's father and see him nodding, "well, I think that's all, now I must go." Without looking back, I run through a small alley, hearing shouts behind me. I manage to run about five meters when I feel someone catch up to me and put a damp cloth over my nose and mouth. I thrash desperately, trying not to breathe, but it's impossible, and I feel my body grow heavy, along
MassimoI see how this woman takes my son, and I know that Katherina was not wrong to leave him in her care. She is so happy playing with him that she hasn't noticed my presence. I clear my throat, and finally, her eyes meet mine. I can sense the hatred in her gaze, and she ignores me again, focusing on Alexandre.There's a knock on the door, and one of the maids enters with a tray full of food. I asked for a variety of dishes since it's been hours since she ate, and I don't want her to get sick. The maid places the tray on the table, and I instruct her to leave. When Pietro enters, I ask him to act as an interpreter with this woman and urge her to eat."Mr. Massimo says please eat something; your meal is ready," Pietro translates."Well, tell your boss I'm not hungry, and I refuse to eat anything. I want to leave; he can't keep me locked up all the time." She says defiantly. As soon as I hear what she said, I rise from my chair, approach her, and snatch Alexandre away. I call one of
It's been two days since I brought this woman to the hospital with Carlo, my personal doctor. He has been taking care of her all this time, and now she is doing well. On the first day, when she didn't wake up, I got really scared, but it turns out it was because of how weak she was. As soon as she woke up, she asked for Alexandre. She didn't even thank me for saving her, and she hasn't spoken to me at all during this time. She is discharged from the hospital, and once we're back at my house, I carry her to her room."I'm not going to thank you. It's your fault. If you had let me go, I wouldn't be like this." She says, shooting me a cold look, then turns away from me, which immediately makes me frown.LilibethThe next day, I was awakened by a girl named Mia who had been hired to be my personal servant, although I believe they actually want someone to watch me all the time. She asked me to come down for breakfast, but since I didn't have any clothes —firstly because the ones I had were
LilibethIt's been several days since I returned from the hospital, and in all this time, I haven't seen that Charlotte woman again. I asked Mia about her, but she claims she had to leave because of what happened, although truth be told, I doubt that. Still, it puts my mind at ease not having that woman around me. However, I don't want to be an easy target for anyone else who might try the same thing, so I decide to ask Massimo for something during dinner.“I want to go back to my old rented room.” I address Massimo, and for a moment, I notice that he's surprised that I'm talking to him, since I've completely ignored him since the incident with Charlotte. Talking to him is the last thing I wanted to do, but I truly need something from him.“You can't go there, you know you can't go back there.” He responds indifferently.“I need the things I left there, all my clothes and documents. You can't deny me that.” I shout and stand up from my seat.“One of my men can take you to buy all the
MassimoI am in the living room talking with Maritza when Lilibeth and my son arrive. They are about to go upstairs when Maritza asks me a very hurtful question, causing Lilibeth to come back and confront her. I didn't know that this woman also spoke French since I didn't think she would understand what my companion asked. However, when she responds and implies that I have multiple lovers, it angers me even more. Throughout the time she has been in this house, I have never brought any woman here. In fact, since my separation from my ex-wife, I haven't been with any of the women I have dated. When their discussion ends, she runs off to her room."Maritza, I'm sorry. Would it be okay if we meet another day and discuss our business calmly?""Alright, Massimo. Don't worry," she says, taking her purse and bidding me goodbye with a kiss on the mouth. This surprises me because she and I don't have that kind of relationship. Once she leaves, I go up to Lilibeth's room."Open the door! I know
“Miss, dinner is ready, Mr. Massimo is waiting for you.”“I’m not hungry, I ate too much this afternoon.” —I lie, the truth is I'm starving, but I don’t want to see Massimo after what happened this afternoon—. “Mia, please, when Alex wants to sleep, you can bring him, and for now, I don’t want anyone to disturb me.”“I’m sorry, Miss, but Mr. Massimo said he would sleep with Alexandre tonight.” She replies apologetically.“Perfect, in that case, you may go. I want to sleep, see you tomorrow.”“Goodnight, Miss, rest well.”I get out of bed and decide to change into something more comfortable. I lay back down and hug a pillow, crying again.MassimoThis woman drives me crazy in a thousand different ways, and when I think I can finally make her mine, she pulls away from me without warning, without any explanation for her change of attitude. Without thinking, I imply that she came to me seeking pleasure, and I can see her face transform as she hears me say this. She screams that she is not
Massimo “Why is she taking so long?” I ask Marion, who has brought me a glass of water while I wait for Lilibeth, who is a few minutes late and hasn’t come down yet.“I don’t know, sir. She might not be much longer. Oh, look, she’s coming down now. She looks truly beautiful, Miss.” I turn when she says this, and indeed, she is right; Lilibeth looks stunning.“Thank you, Mrs. Marion.” She smiles warmly, while I am mesmerized watching her descend the stairs.Tonight, Lilibeth is wearing an emerald green dress (which contrasts beautifully with her fair skin) with one long sleeve and a single shoulder. The upper part appears to have embroidered flowers with black details on an almost translucent fabric that reveals a bra in the same color as the dress. The lower part of the dress opens into a wide skirt, showing off her entire right leg thanks to a slit. She wears matching golden shoes and a handbag, and everything about her is perfection. I can’t help but feel uneasy, thinking about how
