I lose myself following the rhythm of our kiss, until the distinguished sound of a photograph being captured reaches my ears, causing me to pull away from him.I look at him puzzled, and notice the slight smile on his face, with his phone in hand; that I didn't even notice when he had taken it. I am surprised to turn my eyes to the screen of the cell phone, and realize that he has taken a picture of us kissing."Wow, and that was why was that?," I question somewhat out of place."Because I wanted a picture with you," he admits. "And because I want everyone to see it."I feel blank.I try unsuccessfully to snatch his phone to find out what he's done, but in the attempt I manage to fleetingly glimpse that he's posted the photo, for God's sake."What did you do?" I question, perplexed. "Ale, what did you do?"I'm dumbfounded, unable to believe what he's done."Let them talk more, maybe that gives them enough to eat for the rest of the year," he says matter-of-factly."You are crazy!," I

"Tomorrow I'm going back to Florence," Alessandro suddenly declares."What?," I exclaim perplexed, turning my eyes towards him."Yes, and it's not because Karen's witch asked me to, but because I'm tired of this city.""But...""I'll wait for you in the car to get your luggage out," he interrupts me, and I pause for a moment to process what he told me."What? No." I deny immediately."What do you mean, no?" he questions, frowning."I still have a few days left here, and I don't want to leave," I explain, and it's true. "I want to spend my last few days here with my parents and my friends before I go back.""You will come with me, Claudia," he demands. "I've already waited too long for you in this place."Is he assuming that I will go with him without even consulting with me?"Alessandro, it's my rest too, remember? If you want to leave, go ahead, I don't object. But I won't go with you," I say reluctantly, it's already that's the last straw."Do you mean what you say or do you just wa

My head keeps spinning, the horrible dream I had again, along with the talk with my parents, have made me rethink so many things.Acknowledging for the first time that this situation is winning me over, and accepting that my relationship with Alessandro is wrong, feels overwhelming but at the same time so liberating.It's very difficult for me because I feel like I have to make a crucial decision regarding us that I'm not ready to face. I stopped caring about how I feel a long time ago and started prioritizing his well-being and feelings over my own, to make him or us happy.If we got to a certain point, it was because I allowed it too.Damn, and I love him. I love everything about that man, and sometimes I love his jealousy and possessiveness, but I don't like the way he wants to control every aspect of my life.I am now more aware than ever of everything that is wrong with our relationship and I know that when I get to Florence, nothing will ever be the same again.I can't deny that

I want to kill him, I promise.First, for being an asshole and then for making me feel this horrible way and with this horrible jealousy in the form of revenge.My face is anything but happy right now, and I bet I must not look at all pleasant when the blissful makeup artist lowers her gaze in shame when I connect with her.The sassy stylist whose name I'm not even privy to calls her to ask her to put some compact powder on the idiot's face to keep it from looking shiny in the photo.She stands in front of him, and as she picks up the brush to apply it to his face, it falls out of her hands because of nerves that he provokes her. Is it serious?"I'm sorry," she formulates in an innocent child's voice."Don't worry about it," he replies in a surprisingly calm tone, causing her face to turn a thousand colors.After what seems like an eternity, they finally place the jewelry on him and position him on the backdrop where he will have to pose for the perfect pictures. They turn on the musi

After almost an hour sitting on the couch in the living room, I hear the door of my apartment being opened and instantly I realize that it is Eva, because in a matter of seconds she appears down the hallway walking towards me."Doll, I'm sorry for getting here so late, traffic was a bitch," she says approaching where I am. "How are you feeling?"She gives me a touching hug that makes my eyes water and I can't answer."Claudia, what happened to you?" She asks as she notices me with a worried look on his face."Nothing, it's just that... Alessandro and I broke up and I quit my job too, I feel so bad...""Stop," she looks at me puzzled. "I need you to slow down, because I don't understand how come you stop talking to me for almost two days, and now you tell me you quit your job, I mean... Why? How did he react?""It's just that something horrible happened yesterday," I say, reminiscing about how badly I was treated. "I don't even want to remember it.""If you don't want to talk about it,

"Claudia, Claudia, answer," I hear her voice far away from me. "Claudia? Sis, are you still there?""No," is the only thing that comes out of my mouth. "Tell me it's not true.""Clau, don't tell me that..." she formulates in a trembling voice. "Oh no, I'm sorry, I thought you knew.""No, this can't be true," I say wrapped in tears. "Please tell me it's a lie.""Claudia… she just confirmed it.""Who, who is she?" I ask with my voice breaking."Anna" is the damn name that comes out of her mouth. "Anna Rosetti.""I have to hang up," I say with pain flooding my entire being, I need to know what's going on."Clau," she tries to say, but it's too late because I've already hung up, to desperately get into my social networks.I need to check that this is a lie, I need to know that this never happened. My heart beats fast and it's as if I'm not prepared for the impact, as I log on to one of the showbiz pages.The tears won't stop flowing and as if it were possible as I read one of the main hea

People say that when a woman is truly in love, she is capable of enduring many things.She is able to forgive your mistakes, to give you new opportunities, to stick around to see if you manage to make a change and to love you unconditionally. But sooner or later after all those accumulated fights, after feeling unjustified guilt, after all those tears, you reach a point where you just can't take it anymore, and you know there is no turning back.You understand that there are situations that you should never have allowed to happen, that no matter how much love you feel towards that person, if he hurts you, you must get away from him.What happened yesterday was my point of no return. I never thought that no matter how upset he was with me, I would allow myself to be degraded like that. I never thought he wouldn't care and turned a blind eye when other people were humiliating me.I would never do that no matter how angry I am, and the proof is in the fact that I defended him to my mom w

"Alessandro, no," I say, putting my arms between us to try to push him away, however, I fail in my attempt because he holds me tightly, with no intention of letting go. "Stop it," I beg, trying to push him away once more. "Stop it, I don't want you to touch me."I raise the tone of my voice, managing to separate him from me once and for all."Claudia...""No, don't," I warned him.At that very moment when we are so close, I get to observe her gaze in detail and notice that characteristic color in her eyes that can only mean one thing."Tell me you didn't do it again," I say haltingly, but he doesn't respond. "Tell me you didn't, Ale!"An ache stabs in my chest."I did," he admits, lowering his gaze."You promised me," I say, backing up several steps to walk away.He broke my heart again in the worst way, hurting himself, and at this point if I didn't have to make him sign my resignation I would be gone by now, I can't take it anymore."Love, I promise you...""Don't promise me shit, b

I could only watch as my best friend moved back and forth. She looked distressed, but I was starting to feel dizzy."Eva, stop it! Why are you so nervous?""My trip is approaching, I have my suitcases almost ready, but...""What's wrong, dear friend? You can still change your mind about the trip if you're not sure.""It's just that now I realize how much I'm going to miss my parents. I've never been separated from them," she says with teary eyes."You told me yourself it's just a five-month trip. Seize this opportunity and enjoy it," I encourage her, seeing her sad."You're right. With some contacts from my father, I managed to secure a teaching job. It's a language center in Canada.""Will you be an Italian teacher?" "Exactly, my friend. I'm really excited. There are people from different nationalities at that center. I think I'll learn a lot about other cultures," she says this time with a smile."I'm happy for you, Eva," I give her a hug. "Alright, I'll leave you to finish packing

"Darling, how lovely to see you both," my father greets Alessandro and me."We have excellent news for you," I announce as my mother joins us. "You will be grandparents to a beautiful baby boy."Shouts of surprise and excitement ensue."Congratulations, my dear, Alessandro," my father hugs us. "Have you thought of any names?""We like the name Luca," Alessandro says, and my mom starts crying."Mom?""I'm thrilled to have a little one coming into the family," she says through tears. "Our grandson Luca will be a much-loved boy."Alessandro and I are not officially married yet, which is why we've been planning a new wedding all this time.Eva will soon leave for Canada, and I want her to attend my wedding. She's my maid of honor and must be there, so I sped up my plans."Eva, is everything ready?" I ask my friend as we meet for lunch."Yes, Claudia, I promise to call you as much as I can, don't worry. Plus, I'll only be gone for 5 months," she says with a smile. "I'll be back just in tim

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. She listened attentively as we sipped on juice and ate cookies."I have to admit that Alexis is a jerk, but on the other hand, Piero is a true gentleman. I think you should give him a chance," she says with a smile."Claudia, it's not easy to just dismiss these kinds of feelings.""I know, when you fall in love, you can't see anyone else, but I think you really enjoy suffering. You could have a caring man by your side, yet you still prefer holding onto Alexis," she says with a wry expressio

Eva's POVAfter Alessandro and Claudia left, I stayed working alone in the office. 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?" I exclaimed, slightly flustered upon seeing him in front of me."I had to take care of some advertising matters here at the company and took the opportunity to come and say hi," he says with a huge smile, a very handsome one indeed."I'm glad to see you. 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

When I leave the office, the phone suddenly rings, pulling me out of my thoughts.I see the contact on the screen and hurry to answer my phone. It's my mom and I think it's important because she never calls me at work."Hello, Mom, what's up?""Sweetie, I hope I'm not interrupting your work. Tell me, why didn't you mention that you saw your grandfather?"Her question surprises me. What's all this about?"I only saw him briefly. We coincidentally crossed paths here at work. Don't worry, I didn't do anything wrong.""I know you're a good girl. It's just that your grandfather talked to your father and he wants to see you tomorrow at his house.""Tomorrow? That's impossible. I have an appointment, and I'm not going to cancel it for my grandfather. I'm sorry, Mom.""Dear, I think it's necessary for all of us to visit your grandfather. He wants to see us. He seemed really worried.""No, Mom, I'm sorry.""In the morning, we can visit your grandfather, and you'll have the afternoon free. Don'

"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. Imagine the four of us on a double date. You're my best friend, and Alexis is Alessandro's cousin…""Dear friend, I think you're hallucinating. Look at me, I'm really not his type," I say with a wry smile, remembering how everything "ended" between us."Eva, what's gotten into you? You're beautiful, with your long black hair and those gorgeous blue eyes. Jus

Days go by, and Alessandro informs me that he has news for me about Anna, which makes me nervous because I had managed to find solid evidence of her kidnapping and how she had drugged him to take advantage of him.It seems that Matteo himself had given them to him."Love, the good news is that Anna will go to jail for a long time, and her parents are accomplices. I will have full custody of my daughter."I couldn't be happier, I throw myself into his arms, but I notice he's tense, so I look at him inquisitively."There's another piece of news, isn't there?""That's right, and it's that Anna escaped. They could only imprison her parents.""And Vittoria?""She was with them. Bruno is bringing her along with John. She'll be able to live with us.""These are wonderful news, but Anna...""I'll do everything in my power to put that crazy woman behind bars. I won't let her keep hurting us."Ale comes closer to me and kisses my lips. I want to respond, but there's been something on my mind fo

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
