"What are you trying to tell me, Bruno," I frowned, feeling my heart clench.

"These are just my assumptions,but remember that your Grandfather refused to accept Paula's death, saying that in his heart he felt she was still alive."

"I know, for many years my grandfather hired several investigators to find out if she was alive or not."

"They all failed with the investigation, that's why your grandfather gave up with the search and accepted that his granddaughter was already dead, although her body was never found."

"Bruno, I think I know what you want to tell me, but I don't think Pilar is my sister Paula."

    I tried to calm down a little, although I was already losing my patience with that possessive attitude that I didn't know and much less liked."I'm not changing the subject, besides, it's absurd that you want me to stop talking to Matteo.""Are you forgetting that you are my future wife," he retorted angrily."I'm not forgetting, besides, you and I both know this marriage is fake," I clarified."It is fake, but it is still stipulated that we must be faithful to each other.""What are you trying to tell me," I scowled at him.

    "Little girl, wake up, we have to go it's already late," I heard a slight murmur and then I felt a kiss on my lips.I opened my eyes, the evening was about to fall and I felt Alessandro's body embrace me. I realized we were naked, so I took one of the sheets and covered my body.I felt a little embarrassed that he saw me naked."I think it's time to put the embarrassment aside, Clau, I love seeing you with nothing on," he winked mischievously at me."It's just for now, as far as I'm used to," I said coyly, my cheeks flushing.I tried to get out of bed, but felt a little pain."Little girl, are you all right?

    I spent the entire Sunday morning in my bed, unable to sleep at night."I better pay Claudia a visit,I need her advice," I say with a wry smile due to my huge dark circles.I took a shower and put on something comfortable, dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and white sneakers.I arrived at Claudia's house; she looks so beautiful with her baby bump, and it makes me so happy to see her. She's like the sister I've always wanted.I didn't waste any time and told her everything that happened last night.

Alexis had to attend a very important meeting.I could only think about the kiss between him and me; I couldn't concentrate on my tasks."Hello, beautiful.""Piero, what are you doing here?"

Tell me, are you excited about the release of your new movie?""Of course, it was quite a challenge for me. I was used to making action movies, and now starring in a romantic genre was special," he responds enthusiastically."I'm excited to see the outcome. I'm sure it will do very well in sales.""Thank you, Eva," he says, taking my hand. "Would you like to be my date for that day?""Well, what a surprise. I would certainly love to, but that day I have to be by my

    We arrived at the restaurant where Piero made the reservation, it's spectacular, and I feel both ecstatic and out of place for being in such a beautiful and elegant place that my paternal family is so accustomed to.Is this how my life would be if I accept marrying Piero Ferrara?"I had never been to this place before, it's very nice," I say somewhat uncomfortably, trying to push those thoughts out of my mind."I knew you would like it, it's my favorite French restaurant, 'Le Gigot,' their steaks are really good," Piero says gallantly.We sit at a pre-booked table, and Piero even pulls out the chair for me in a chivalrous manner."While we wait for our order, tell me, why did you decide to become an actor? My grandfather mentioned that your family owns the textile company FR," I ask."That's correct, they do, but I've always been drawn to acting. And when I retire from this career in the future, I'll assume the presidency of the company," he confesses, and I'm amazed. "Believe me, I'm

    "In love! With whom? Why didn't you tell me?" she exclaims in genuine surprise.Of course, it's obvious she'd react that way, considering she had named me the number one single for a while now, but Alexis Lombardi was an incredible person who had deeply ingrained himself in me.Even over the years, I couldn't forget him completely."I don't know when I started liking him so much…""Wait, don't say another word, are you falling for Alexis Lombardi?" She looks at me with wide-open eyes."It seems like it," I say with a lump in my throat."But I don't understand why you're sad. It would be wonderful if you and Alexis became a couple.

    My brow furrows as I watch her place one of her hands on his shoulder and then lean in to whisper something in his ear, causing their inevitable closeness. With just that tiny gesture, my body burns with anger at the scene I'm witnessing. And even though Alessandro gently pushes her away, the woman clings to him like a damn tick.I don't even realize when I started walking towards them, but there I am, standing in front of him, staring at him intently."Claudia," he says my name as if nothing's wrong, making the woman turn to look at me."Who are you?," I ask the blue-eyed woman who won't leave my man alone."I could ask you the same thing," she retorts with an arrogant look."Olivia, she's…""Claudia," I interrupt him. "Nice to meet you, Olivia."I look at her without any hint of cordiality or joy."Oh," she huffs, looking me up and down. "So, you're the lucky one. I'm Olivia Brooks.""Claudia, she's an actress, like Piero," the idiot who unfortunately will be the father of my child
