"You didn't bring someone into the room, did you?" Eva says, making me widen my eyes with exaggeration."What?" I exclaim, feigning indignation at her words. "Of course I didn't! Surely the smell came from someone outside and since I left the window open, it got in here.""I know, doll, I'm just kidding," she replies with a laugh. "But just so you know I have no problem with you wanting to, you know, have fun in the apartment. As long as you know damn well who you're doing it with.""Oh, okay?" I stammer looking for the sensible response to this. "Let's change the subject.""Okay." She lets out a chuckle."You know, I think I'm going to need to go shopping, I don't have a lot of formal clothes and starting tomorrow, I'll need them.""We can go out now, and while we're at it we can go eat.""Sounds perfect," I replied."Then I'll wait for you outside," she says, leaving the room.Once I make sure Eva is no longer nearby, I run to where I have my perfumes, and start spraying one of them

"My parents are coming today," Anna says as she tends to the baby.It wasn't easy being a father, but I think I was adjusting well to it.Vittoria is worth it."I don't mind them doing it, as long as it's only to see my daughter, and not fuck with me by saying whatever bullshit they can come up with.""I told them to keep their comments, so you don't need to repeat that to me," she says reluctantly."I hope you stress it to them when they come over, especially your father, because I'm sick of hearing them talk shit in my house."Anna in response rolls her eyes, however, I play it down by leaning back next to her to grab my cell phone."A few days ago you asked me a question," she says suddenly, regaining my attention."What question?" I say, confused, because I honestly don't remember."Why she was in the hospital," she replies, making my body tense up."I don't care.""But you wanted to know.""I told you I don't care about the reason anymore, Anna. And you should be glad about that.

I bend down to pick up all the sheets to put them inside the folder, feeling fucking embarrassed, and as I'm about to take the last document, someone else's hand meets mine in the act of wanting to grab the same document.I don't even have to look at his face to recognize him. It is Sebastien, who has approached to help me, placing the remaining sheet in the folder."Are you all right?" he questions."Yes," I affirm, standing up before leaving, observing once again Alessandro, who has hardened his expression upon noticing the presence of Sebastien."Excuse me," I murmur.As I pass by that red-haired girl, I find it impossible to miss the look of displeasure she gives me, however, I try not to determine it and continue on my way.When I finally enter the elevator and the doors close, I feel I can expel all the contained air. I lean against the wall and close my eyes to calm my breathing.I feel my whole body weaken, especially my hands, which are shaking uncontrollably.Once again he i

Luckily, Sean and Paul keep me from moving forward, preventing me from nearly having a heart attack from the shock.But it is only a fleeting relief, as anger seems to have taken hold of that man, and he manages to break free from the two guys, to immediately go around the table and go to hit Sebastien as if he had gone crazy."Ale!" I emit a resounding shout as I land a punch on Sebastien's cheek.Everything seems to happen in slow motion from there on, my mind is clouded and all I think is that a catastrophe will happen, when I see his feint to hit him again, until Sebastien manages to recompose himself, returning the impact that ends up on Alessandro's lips, causing a large amount of blood to spurt from them and splatter on his white shirt.I am about to try to do something to intervene, but Isabella grabs my arm preventing me from moving. On top of that, Charles enters the room and Alessandro, upon seeing him, is livid, his face flushed with anger."Why am I not surprised that you

A new day at the company, not knowing what awaits me today.Yesterday I was lost after what I heard and although I had calls from my boss and Eva, my mind was too agitated and conflicted to give a coherent answer.Thank goodness I am now determined to cut off any kind of non-working relationship with Charles, because the conversation I overheard had made my hair stand on end.This time I did arrive with Eva after arranging everything with her, and now I am already in my workspace. Everything has gone excellent with the Prasad drinks and that technically has been a ray of light in the midst of everything that has happened here."Claudia," they say and as I turn up, my eyes catch Isabella.I immediately tense up at the sight of her. I don't feel at all the same way about her since what I heard yesterday, and it makes me uncomfortable with her presence, coupled with the fact that she has no reason to be here after she was promoted."Good morning," I greet her with the mere intention of n

I don't look up and all the time I keep my eyes fixed on the plate, even if I don't taste anything. I feel too uncomfortable and nervous.Even though I try to ignore the situation, I find it impossible not to pay attention to what they say."Alessandro, how are your lips still?" asks Isabella."Fine," he replies, curtly."They seem to hurt a lot.""I've endured more painful things," he replies, paralyzing me for an instant at his words."Claudia," I hear Paul name me, so I have no choice but to raise my face to them all. "Are you all right?""Of course," I reply with a smile that doesn't come out at all genuine."I see you haven't tasted anything else from your plate.""I just feel full," I say dodging her gaze."You're lying," I hear suddenly from the person I've tried my best to avoid, despite having him in front of me, feeling his intense stare every second."I'm not," I say with my eyes on dessert."Do you really want to fool me?," he questions, hardening his voice and leaving eve

"Claudia Rodriguez," I hear someone call, capturing my attention.As I look up from the computer, I am surprised to see a man carrying a huge bouquet of flowers."It's me," I reply somewhat hesitantly and the guy, who I assume is a delivery man, approaches me."A present for you," he says, holding out the giant flower arrangement to me.Somewhat hesitantly, I take the bouquet that covers me almost completely, and I couldn't be more amazed to see and feel the scent emanating from all these flowers up close.I look around me and my companions in the area do not hide the expression of impression and bewilderment on their faces."Sign here, please," asks the gentleman, placing the heavy bouquet on my desk.I take the pen to sign for the delivery."Have a nice day, miss," he says goodbye and then leaves the room.Before everyone's eyes, I detail the beautiful arrangement in wonder, and noticing the card in the middle of the flowers, I take it immediately.I suppose it is too much to descri

Arriving at Alessandro's company, a kind of joy and nostalgia comes over me having returned after so long. This was one of my favorite places when I worked with him, and it is also one of his."Oh please, this is something I thought I would never witness again," Sean says as he sees us enter the building, seeing Alessandro and I walking side by side, followed by Isabella.And the truth is, I never imagined this scenario would happen again either, one where neither of us is arguing."Hi, Sean," I greet him with a smile."How are you, cutie?" he responds, getting up from his chair to come over to hug me."Just fine, thanks for asking.""I'm glad to hear that," he smiles. "And you, Alessandro, how are you? You look very... at ease."The last he says as if scoffing."Shut up," Ale retorts, his voice hardening."I'll do it only because I appreciate seeing you so peaceful and know because of what, rather, who."I deny what Sean says, and I try to overlook it. He certainly has a knack for an

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
