Two years later.

Claudia's POV

I type quickly in front of the computer despite the cramps in my fingers and the growing pain in my back.

I don't know how long I've been here, but I'm focused on finishing this report for the last project I coordinated at the company. I had a week to present it, but I think I'll finish it in three days, and now I'll have to find something else to focus on after that.

I suppose I'll have to tell Sebastien to assign me more clients, other projects, or anything that keeps me so busy that I only have to come home to sleep.

That's how my routine has been for the past few years, spending most of my day at work to disconnect from the nightmare my life has become.

I think it's this job that keeps me sane, preventing me from completely losing it.

"Claudia, are you listening?" I suddenly hear someone say, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Isabella," I mumble as I see her standing in front of me, observing me with her head tilted. "Do you need something?"

    After a day of work and my boss randomly giving me an unwanted vacation, I went out to have lunch with my friend from the company."Claudia," Eva calls my name."Yes?""It's not her... Anna Rossetti?" she says with an affected voice, alerting my senses.I turn to where Eva points, and immediately spot the woman with long blonde hair and a slender figure pushing a baby carriage.Her daughter."Wait for me here," I ask my friend."But... Clau!"I start running to catch up with the woman walking ahead of me.This is my chance if I finally want to know about him."Anna," I call her name, taking her by the arm as I catch up, causing her to turn towards me.I can't describe the expression that crosses her face when she sees me. I don't think either of us expected this."Let go of me," she snaps with disgust, and I quickly withdraw my hand. "It's unthinkable that one can't even walk down the street without running into this kind of scum.""Anna, please listen to me," I ask, following her."Y

    "I lose track of time while we stay in this position, hugging and kissing without rest. If this is a dream, I swear I don't want to wake up.I love the touch of his skin against mine, and the way our lips coordinate, making this a moment I will remember forever."I can't believe you did this," I say between kisses."Knowing me, you should know I'm capable of anything." His words make me look at him intently.For the first time in a long time, I can fully detail his face. He has changed, not in a negative way. He's grown a beard, and his hair is a bit longer, but what strikes me the most is that he looks healthy.He doesn't look like the Alessandro from the last time, the one who seemed exhausted and sick."You're very thin," he suddenly says, looking at me with concern.I immediately evade his inquisitive gaze and break free from his embrace upon hearing him."Let's go inside," he tells me after noticing my change in mood.Upon entering the beautiful mansion, I am surprised to see som

    The sound of the sea waves wakes me up, and I realize that the space next to me is empty.I fell asleep before Alessandro arrived, but judging by the messy sheets and the scent lingering on them, I know he slept with me.I leave the room in search of Alessandro."Good morning, Lena," I greet her."Good morning, miss," she greets me back. "You woke up very beautiful this morning.""Thank you," I reply with my cheeks turning red."Will you have breakfast?""Yes, please," I answer, following her to the kitchen. "Hey, Lena, do you know where Alessandro is?""Your husband went for a run a while ago, miss," she says, causing my face to blush."He's not my husband yet," I say, taking a seat."Oh, well, he refers to you as his wife, so I assumed the feeling is mutual.""It's just that…""You're awake," I hear him say behind me, the owner of that voice that completely drives me crazy. "Good morning," he says as he reaches my side, stealing a kiss that leaves me breathless.He has no intention

    The sensation of something moving inside me disappears all traces of sleepiness in me.I open my eyes and after seeing the face of the man in front of me with his body embracing me I realize it is the best image I could get in the middle of the morning.Alessandro stares at me, and as I place my leg over his I soon feel again the intrusion of his member in my intimate part, reminding me of the exquisite moments we had yesterday.Without hurry or haste, he rams me with his phallus again and again, while my gaze stays connected with the beautiful blue of his, and his eyes are also lost in mine.

    "Daughter, please. Give us a sign of life. We're very worried about you," says one of the audio messages I play.Damn it.With trembling fingers, I dial her number, and after a few rings, I finally hear her voice."Claudia, is that you?" I hear her say with a worried tone."Mom.""Daughter," she responds distressed. "My girl, tell me you're okay.""Mom, calm down, I am.""Oh my god, Claudia!" I hear her exclaim amidst sobs."Is it her?" I hear another voice ask. "Can you pass her to me?""Claudia, is that you?" they say, and now I realize it's Eva."Eva, how are you?""How am I, Claudia!? We're all so worried about you. Where are you?""Uh...""Why did you disappear like this?""I..." I stutter as I think about what response to give.

    After approximately eight hours of travel, we landed in Florence.As soon as I arrived, I notified Alessandro, who warned me to behave and take care, causing me to roll my eyes.Honestly, I noticed he was very paranoid and reluctant about me being back here. And no wonder, we have a tendency for terrible things to happen every time we're apart.It seems like the only way for us to be okay is to be together all the time. Although I don't think much can happen when I'll only be here for a day.I know it won't be easy to convince my mother, but once I do, I hope she decides to leave voluntarily, or I'll have to find a way to persuade her to go.At the airport, I choose to take a taxi to avoid arousing suspicion when I arrive at Isabella's apartment, where my mom told me she is. Apparently, everyone is gathered there waiting for me, and they're eager to see me.I feel a bit anxious thinking about their reaction or the number of questions they'll ask.

But now I'd like to go home and spend some time with my mom.""Of course, no problem, I can give you a ride if you want," offers Eva."In fact, I need to leave too, so I wouldn't mind doing it," offers Charles."Charles, I think…""That works for me," my mother intervenes.

    That memory tightens my chest, but I disguise it as best I can.I can't reveal what happened in that mansion that was now mine, not in front of my mother and Charles."No," I assure them, under the suspicious gaze of everyone present."Then we'll investigate the building's security cameras to see if we can identify the suspect," the officer informs us. "We'll do everything we can to find out who did this.""Thank you, officers," Diane thanks them, looking very distressed by the situation.As the police leave, a deep silence settles in the room. I still can't believe this has happened, but despite my chaotic thoughts, I try to salvage the damaged items.Almost everything is now unusable, and though it pains me a little, mainly for my laptop since I used it extensively for work, I'm grateful that the damage was only material and that I wasn't here when it happened."I don't think it's safe for you to stay here," Charles says after helping me put several things in trash bags.And I consi

    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.

    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

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.

    "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.

    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.
