(Renata Pellegrini)
"You're here early," Veronica says with a trembling smile on her face. I think even she is afraid of him. "Why didn't you tell me?""And since when do I owe you any satisfaction? You're the one who works for me."Idiot! I'm not even surprised, what could you expect from a big CEO like him? He's just another asshole in the world. Arrogant and overbearing. Just another idiot who just because he has money thinks he has the world under his feet.Maybe he really does, he is the richest man in the world, he must have everything he wants. From objects to women, maybe for him it doesn't even make a difference, men with money think that women are objects, that all they have to do is shake a few hundred dollar bills and they are theirs.I don't doubt Veronica is one of the women who dreams of having him. I roll my eyes at this thought. But well done to her, it's exactly as the saying goes: he who wounds with iron will be wounded with iron. I smiled inwardly as I finished my thought."Sorry, sir, it was not my intention to demand anything from you," Veronica says with her head down, now she remembered that just like me, she is just another employee.Well, maybe not like me, I'm sure that as soon as I set foot out of this room, I'll be out of here."And what about you?" He turns and approaches me again, why does this man exude so much danger? His eyes stare at me suspiciously.Never in my life have my legs felt so weak as they do now. This man looks as if he is going to turn me inside out just by looking at me. The air seems to have thinned from nowhere. Every step he takes closer to me creates a sensation of shrinking in size. He must be at least forty centimeters taller than me."Ragazza, don't make me say it one more time," he whispers menacingly in my ear, his deep voice coupled with his Italian accent making the hair on my legs stand on end. Do I have a thing for Italians? Is this why I have never fallen in love with a Brazilian?Ragazza means girl and this brings back memories of my father, only he called me that.He puts his hands in his pants pockets, striking a bad man's pose. I feel a tangle of butterflies inside my stomach.Where did my voice go? Lord help me! Get this man away from me! Help me!I look away from him and see Veronica hurriedly approaching."Mr. Valentini, she is the new janitor…""New?" he snaps his tongue. "When did you start employing people without my consent?"Wow, I had no idea he was so controlling. I thought tycoons his size didn't care who was or wasn't hired, at least not the janitorial staff."She was desperate, sir. I just wanted to help her…""I didn't know this was a charity, Miss Veronica.""I'm sending her away right now, sir."Oh my God... I knew it would end like this, just when I think something in my life is finally going to change for the better, the storms come and blow it all away again.I feel my eyes burning, how am I going to go back to Brazil? I am ashamed to ask for help from my teacher who has already done so much for me.I will have to humiliate myself once again, I can't be fired now. I need to at least receive my first salary so that I can return to Brazil.I hope this man has something beating inside his rib cage."Mr. Filippo," I start, but a hand stops me.What was that? My cheek is burning, did I really get slapped? In the face?!"How dare you call him by his first name! You little shit!"I've never fought in my life, I've always been against violence. But I've reached my limit of humiliation for today. My father, when he was alive, taught me the art of self-defense, while a friend of my mother's - he died a year before my parents - taught me street fighting, and said that I should only use it if I needed to impose respect on someone.That time has come!I am about two inches taller than Veronica. I grab the collar of her dress shirt and pull it tight, making her stand on tiptoe. She tries to pull my hands to let go, but I just bring her closer to my face."Look here, you stuck up little prick, I'm not your fucking punching bag so you dare raise your frumpy hand to me. And if you do it again, mark my words," I look into her eyes and she trembles before my gaze, I like it that way, I bring my mouth close to her ear and whisper: "You better have a lot of money anyway, because you're going to need a lot to fix your face because I'm going to punch it until it's deformed."I let go of the collar of her blouse and she falls on her ass on the floor. I stop myself from laughing at her frightened face, but it only lasts a few seconds, she gets up from the floor and her face gets redder and redder."How dare you threaten me, you dirty girl!" she shouts in exasperation."Lower your tone, bitch, you're not talking to your little girlfriends," I say calmly, making her even more irritated."Ungrateful snake! You were desperate and I helped you!""If you really wanted to help me," I start to spit out the words, feeling all the anger I've been holding inside me for the last fifteen minutes. "You would have let me do the interview I came here for and not forced me into a cleaning job!""And you have shown that you are not even qualified for a simple cleaning position, you would never be suitable to be Mr. Valentini's assistant!"Oh, how I hate her! I clench my hands into fists and start stepping hard on the floor, approaching her."Puttana," I call her a bitch between my teeth.I'm going to break this woman's high nose right now! I'm already in the mud, I'm going to sink a little deeper, I have nothing left to lose here.With blood in my eyes, I raise my arms to grab the thin neck of this giraffe dwarf, but Filippo puts his big body between me and Veronica."Leave the room, now!" he orders in a deep, dominating voice. What a man with a strong presence!Is this right? I can't believe my eyes.Chapter 2: Other countryAmanda Fernard:Two mercedes benz slr mclaren, are parked in front of the house, with the doors open, if it wasn't for this unfortunate situation, I would admire this car model, with the door in the scissor stido, I always thought it was beautiful, but because of all this shit, I feel dread. The man named Luka, forces me to sit in the driver's seat and closes the door, I look to the side and the man who beat Caio settles behind the wheel."What will they do to me?" I ask, trying to control my fear."Horrible things, young lady! We will burn you, torture you, and then me and twenty other men will rape you," he says seriously, looking me in the eye.The tears come cascading back down my cheeks. God, what did I do that was so bad that I deserved this?"I'm kidding child, you'll find out soon enough, you better behave yourself," he says and speeds up the car.He opens the glove compartment and takes out a gas mask, I watch him put it on his face and my heart manag
Hello, thank you so much for getting this far! What did you think about Filippo and Renata's story? Please, if you can, leave five stars on the book review, it will help this author a lot! And now, a little bit of the next book:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 1: The Payment.(Amanda Fernard)Even with so many problems, I put them aside a bit and watch my bare feet under the gray-colored wall as my body lies on the bed, as the music plays, my feet tapping to the beat and I swing my head from side to side as the absurdly loud melody of the music: O sétimo Hokage (The seventh hokage) - 7 minutoz, plays in my headphones. I have no idea how I haven't gone deaf yet.This is the part I am most identifying with at the moment:"Hateful looks no longer hurt meNow they only make me want to win moreEven if I wasn't born a geniusEven if I have to try twice as hardEven if I'm cursedI never give up because I have a dreamI won't die until it comes trueThe world will know my willpowerYou can ta
>Three months later: (Renata Pellegrini) With my elbows resting on the balcony of my room, I watch the starry sky, the night is beautiful and pleasant, my loose hair sways with the hissing of the cool wind. The sound of Filippo's car catches my attention and I watch him drive into the garage; I've been married to him for three months now, Filippo has been the best husband in the world, always caring and kind to me. I smile and step off the porch, I grab my robe and put it on over my sweater, I can't walk very fast, but I try to go as fast as I can, I open the bedroom door and walk down the hallway, but before I reach the stairs Filippo finishes climbing them. "Did you intend to run down the stairs, ragaza?" Filippo asks me with narrowed eyes, in his voice there is a slight tone of reproach. "Of course not, marito!" - "Husband," I speak smiling at him, who narrows his eyes at me even more. "I just came to welcome you to your room, Mr. Valentini, follow me, please," I say and turn a
(Renata Pellegrini: One Month Later:)Today is my wedding day, to find out that everyone but him knew who I really was. Filippo's mother received me very well, she explained to me how the house worked and the hierarchy of women here.Lais and I get along very well, he is a very sweet and gentle person, I feel sad that she has not been able to bear her own children, and when Filippo explained to me the fate of the little baby in Lais' arms, I felt even worse. Matteo allowed her to continue with the baby, but said that she would never be his daughter and would never have the last name Valentini. This was harsh, but at least he didn't snatch the child from her arms and give it to some subordinate to raise."I wish you were here, Mom, I wish Dad could walk me down the aisle." - I think as I look in the mirror.I still can't forgive Dominic, even now I understand better the reason for his choices, I still can't stay close to him. Demetrius and I get closer, he will be the one to lead me to
(Renata Pellegrini)“I need to take a shower,” I say, pulling my head away from Filippo's chest. “Do you want to keep me company?”Filippo smiles mischievously, and I smile complicitly. I can't help it, I've been missing Filippo for two months, and it's inside me, it's included in the package of longing.I go up to my room and go straight to the bathroom, take off my clothes and get into the box, turn on the shower register, the contact of the water with my body makes me relax, but before I can turn around, Filippo presses me against the wall and the contact of the cold tile with my breasts and belly makes me shiver all over.“You have no idea how much I missed you, piccola!” Filippo whispers in my ear and starts to make a trail of kisses from my shoulder to my jaw causing light shocking sensations all over my body. “Now I will show you going deep and hard inside of you the size of my longing.”My intimacy throbs at what Filippo says, abruptly he grabs my waist and turns me facing him
(Renata Pellegrini)I watch the arrows of light through the tinted window, a thick silence hovers inside the car, my mind wanders to the memory of the first time I was inside the same vehicle as Filippo, the car is not the same as that time, but just like the other one, this one smell new. I swallow dryly, remembering the butterflies in my stomach and the nervousness of being so close to a man like him. But now, it is like the first time, and I am hating myself for it!For three long days I ignored him and ran away from him, I didn't answer his calls or return his messages, I even blocked him, I changed the locks on the gate and the door so that he could no longer enter, and now I am here, inside his car.I feel his gaze on me, several times, but I don't have the courage to face him back, I am afraid of what my eyes will say to him, I am afraid of being betrayed and him finding out that I still miss him.Seeing him open that door and the tears shining in his eyes as he heard the sound
