(Filippo Valentini)“Filippo!” I hear Vicenzo's voice calling me and I stop punching the punching bag.“Hi.” I answer the call and punch the bag again.“Dominic and Demetrius will be here soon.”Immediately stop hitting and hold the punch bag so that it stops swinging and making noise.“Why?” I ask, looking at him.Vicenzo leans against the wall and crosses his arms, his countenance serious.“They said he wanted to talk about his marriage to Renata.”“The wedding is two days away.”“And I haven't even spoken to Mamma and Laissez, but it will be a simple ceremony, after all, you have already dishonored the bride anyway.” Vicenzo stops talking and keeps watching me, I don't answer him, I know that in our world to have relations before marriage is to dishonor the girl's family and this motive can lead to war, but I didn't know that she was my fiancée and the world to which I thought she belonged, it is normal to have sex before marriage.“Sir.” A female employee's voice catches our atten
(Renata Pellegrini)“Are you sure you don't want to stay for lunch?” I ask as I walk Caio to the door.“I have to go visit my girlfriend.” He says sadly.My heart aches for him, Caio has always been a good friend and when he was finally happy with a great girl...unfortunately, a little over two weeks ago we found out she is with ovarian cancer, it is still in the early stages so still has a great chance of a cure. I pray a lot for them.“Tomorrow, I will visit her.” I speak, since she was admitted to the hospital, I haven't visited her yet.Well, for a long three days I was in jail, but four days before she was hospitalized and I didn't have time to go, I was always working and going to appointments, and I kept putting it off and putting it off... until the kidnapping happened...“Get well first, you are also going through a difficult time.” Caio kisses my forehead and simultaneously opens the door. “Take care, okay?”“Yes, take care of yourself too, okay?”“Okay.” Caio answers smilin
(Renata Pellegrini)“I know I hurt you.” Filippo begins to speak. “I know that right now you are feeling a lot of anger towards me, but I promise…”“Shove your promise up your ass!” I shout interrupting him, I don't want to hear empty promises, made only to manipulate me.Filippo looks at me stunned, I have never been one to swear, and even I myself am surprised at how dirty-mouthed I have become now, but fuck it.“You don't know anything!” I keep my voice down, I don't care about the tears that fall from my eyes, I need to get it all out, I want to get it all out of me. “You don't know how I felt when it was clearly your mistake, but you made it seem like it was mine... You don't know how I felt when you said you would never have children with me, how I felt when you flirted with other women saying it was my fault, how I felt when you threw in my face how active your sex life was before me, you don't know how I felt when I woke up that morning with a cold bed! You don't know how I fe
(Filippo Valentini)I see the furniture overturned, my collection of weapons scattered on the floor, glass panes smashed. Even though I have vented some of the anger, it still burns within me. I lean against the wall and sit on the floor.The images of the pain in her eyes as she told me how much I knew nothing, of the tears that fell from her eyes as she spoke in a choked voice, I hurt her too much. Remembering this makes my heart ache, I am gasping for breath, I feel like I am missing the most important things and I feel helpless, it is driving me crazy!From the beginning, I knew it would hurt her, but I had no idea how much. I stepped on her dream of being a mother, well I wanted her to be the mother of my children too, but I didn't want to deceive her, at least in that, I tried to be transparent... but... I should have kept my mouth shut; I regret so much the things I said to her. Renata didn't deserve what I did.I don't hold back anymore, I let the tears come down. At that mome
(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
(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: 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
>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
