“Do you not like it or are you afraid of getting drunk? “She questions. The smile that moves on her lips is complicit with her eyes that inspect me. He tell me."No, that's not why," I say without looking at him, sigh. I see “. I just consider it to be in bad taste, for me it is not delicious.We don't talk again. Gobbling and gobbling is what we dedicate the next few minutes to, although from time to time I feel his powerful gaze on me, for my part I do the same without him realizing it, what was I thinking when I agreed to marry him? Yes, I remember, I thought about my life, that's the only reason I'm willing to take his last name."The food turned out well," he comments. I take it as a compliment from him, however strange it may be, it is a compliment on his part. I smile fleetingly at him. It's not perfect, but it's not bad either.I change the expression, who thinks he is to make fun? At least I've satisfied her appetite, she hasn't left a single crumb on her plate. He's an idiot
My life is a movie, it is a bad dream from which I will never wake up because I am not really asleep, and what I live is the evil present that Aleksander has taken it upon himself to give me.I return to the table where I usually eat, outdoors, feeling the light wind blowing over everything. Breakfast has been served by the lady, of whom I don't know anything, not even her name; the food is variated. I want a little bit of everything. I start with a sip of juice. This time he brought me more than usual, it's too much for me.The reason comes with the appearance of Aleksander, I paralyze. He takes me by surprise, he never eats with me. Knowing that he has already put his illicit business in "order" only means that my little peace of mind is over. Because otherwise he wouldn't be there, much less so relaxed."Good morning," he greets.That he does it in an affectionate tone baffles me."Good morning, Aleksander," I return, starting to eat.He joins me, he looks at me at all times, but I
The musk of his body and mine is one scent. He kisses me, I match him with the same intensity, in the abyssal depths I do not touch the bottom, I float, I fly, but I know that I will fall at any moment. I find nothing more satisfying than the magic of his touch burning through every part of me. It is the fire that needs the ice covering my labyrinths, it is the flame that I do not wish to go out. I don't want it to dim the heat. And his name flows from my lips, the name of my antithesis, of the night and the shadow determined to overshadow, destroy and blind.But... That doesn't matter now, what I experience is unmatched and if the price is being ruined, I take the risk anyway.There is no savagery on his part. A whirlwind hits me, Aleksander is that natural disaster that destroys the little sanity I have left. His lips move over mine, the kiss is not rough, but it is still captivating and fiery.My room is claimed by a guest, wishing that his stay does not come to an end.The truth i
Aleksander and I walk for a while, the streets are wet because of the rain that has fallen a while ago. It is incredible to be in Capri, its corners hide history, one that prevails. It is beautiful, even after precipitation. We go side by side, but suddenly his hand takes mine, there is no one around here, I don't intend to run with these shoes either, so I assume that the townhouse is hiding another motive, and it is not to make sure I run away. Even if there were a passerby, I'm not crazy to scream for help knowing that this man has a gun.Whatever slight intention you have, he will see it. His instincts and perceptions are trained, noticeable and deducible. He realizes what he intends or not. He is very smart.“What are you thinking about?"Maybe I'm not thinking, Aleksander," I say without meeting his eyes.He stops his step, so he and I go under the streetlights, I conjure up one or another romantic movie scene. All that remains is for Aleksander to kiss me on the mouth and for m
I open my eyes, rub them while yawning. I am alone in the room, as I tilt my head I see a pill on the table on the napkin next to a glass of water. It didn't take me long to take it.My eyes lock on that ring, I smile, if only it were real and Aleksander was another type of person then everything would be perfect. Although the ring is very valuable, it does not have the most important value: love.What about the pendant? Don't know.I hurry up, quickly heading to my room. Inside my bedroom I feel the need to lock the door. I brush my teeth and take a long shower, just long enough to drain my mind and tidy up the mess in my head.What the hell is wrong with me? I have stopped seeing Konstantinov as an evil man who has done me a lot of harm, and my eyes no longer see a guy who deprived me of my freedom.It is Aleksander, the handsome Russian with grayish greens who, with few caresses, sometimes deserted glances and other times containing the passing confulgence, who has stolen my heart.
Honeymoon? There is no such time, Aleksander informs me that we must leave Capri. Apparently he has heard from Elmo that we are on the island, I pack what I can. My nerves attack me, the trembling doesn't go away and that makes it difficult for him to act quickly.“Hurry up, Luna! “She exclaims from outside.I do what I can.“I'm coming! “She shouted back, nervous to the core.Miraculously I have finished, I take the suitcase and come out finding Aleksander like an imprisoned animal, he moves from one side to the other letting out curses.“We must go.The flight is so trite, it always happens, with him there is no stability. The biggest question is: where will we go?“Where we go? “I find out, leaving with the same haste as him.“To the airport, we will go to New York “he informs.Gape, I try to spin something, nothing comes out of my mouth, it's just that my vocal cords have gone silent due to surprise. That means a lot to me, I can't process the news.“New York? “I want to make sure
I toss and turn in bed, I can't fall asleep. It's already late, it's early morning in a few hours it will be dawn and if I don't find a way to fall asleep I'm going to look like a zombie in the morning. I tilt my head, Aleksander sleeps like a baby. It is not fair that he rest so peacefully with so many crimes and demons in him, but I, who am a victim, have become a hostage to nightmares and torments.“Luna, what are you doing? “She questions with a voice that is hoarser than usual.“I can not sleep. Knowing that the day after tomorrow I will be in front of dad and not knowing how everything will turn out makes me nervous,” she explained tremblingly."Come here," he pulls me until my head is resting on his muscular chest, he puts an arm over me, and one of his warm palms rests on my bare waist. Better?The truth is that I feel comforting in his arms. I nod slowly.“Thank you."Go to sleep," he asks flatly, but it is enough to allow me to be with him like that, to know that his gesture
On the way to the city center we passed near the building where I lived since I made the decision to become independent. I get a lump in my throat, I want to go back to my previous life, and I can't."There's my apartment," I comment. I didn't mean to say it out loud.But he has already heard me."I already knew it," he admits without seeing me, remaining absorbed in driving.“How did it happen, Aleksander? Suddenly I am kidnapped by the Italian mafia and suddenly you have me captive “ I am curious about the topic of a double kidnapping, I have never gotten the right answers, ever.I am aware of having been locked up for many days in an old room, I was crying, alone under the darkness that increased the uncertainty. Many times I thought she would die or that she would be raped. That never happened. But I was filled with terror when one of those men came for me, he dragged me out of there, then he put me in the trunk of a car. I remember that oxygen was scarce and I ended up falling in
We all witness the moment when Dad kneels. Mom can't believe it and she covers her mouth. I cry in my place, Aleksander hugs me around the waist, tries to contain my emotion, but I'm already crying my eyes out. It's too much for me.“Elena, love of my life, I want you to be my wife, there is nothing and no one that can stop it. You are the best thing that has happened to me, in the midst of ups and downs or good and bad moments, love does not disappear, it is stronger than all the challenges we do not face. Today, in front of our children, kneeling before you, I ask you to agree to be my wife. Do you want to spend the rest of my life with me?"My God, of course," she exclaims overwhelmed, lets herself put on the beautiful ring and kisses him with love.Our ovation applauds them. I'm so happy. Then, after that kiss, what I least imagined happens, Aleksander goes and hugs his mother, he starts crying in her arms. We are all shocked by the scene, we dare not say anything. He looks like a
Four Months Later…Aleksander passes through every part of my body in a way that turns me on in seconds. He knows that we are not alone, almost the whole family is outside, however, he doesn't give a damn about continuing the groping. Although it doesn't appeal to me that he stops. At this point I need long caresses from him.“Alek…"Just a moment and that's it..." he says, growling into my mouth.I wrap my hands behind his neck and brush his lips. If you want to continue, go ahead, but I can't stop thinking about my family, how embarrassing it would be if they listened to us."Stop, I would like more but it's not the right time, Aleksander," I scold him and separate myself from his lips completely.He makes a funny face, I roll my eyes.“Do not leave me like this."You look like a little boy, huh," I point out, shaking my head.He sighs resignedly."Good," he places each of his palms on each side of my enormous belly. It's only four and a half months, but it's huge. Sometimes I think
“Hi Moon. Something has happened? “It's weird when you call me,” she adds, her tone not hiding her concern. She is surprised that I called her.“I need to tell you something, and no, of course I usually call you, why does he miss you? “I release taking a breath."I'm just saying," he remains silent for a moment.Every second counts, in one, everything will change... Not knowing how to know how to take it scares me.“Can you come? I know you have a lot of things to do, but it's urgent, Grace.“Oh really? You're scaring me, is it so serious that you can't tell me around here? “he says hesitantly”. You're making me nervous...His admission increases the nervousness in me. She's not the only one who feels this way."You should come, Grace." What I have to tell you is not easy to process, I must admit. But stay calm, the least I want is to see you upset. OK?“Did something happen to mom? “She asks quickly. A sob is heard.“No no, don't rush, we're fine. “Tell Dominic to come, he needs to be
“I trusted you, I thought you did too, what kind of joke is this, Luna? Do you know what it means to be married to a gangster? “She declares, shaking her head.“There is a lot of danger, I know father. But I love Aleksander. “I wish I could have told you this before, seriously,” I whisper with a wave of emotions in my soul that is difficult to deal with.“Why are you telling me now? “he says, breathing like a buffalo."Because..." I hold his gaze, although now the eye contact burns and tears my heart. I don't want to continue living like this, looking at you and deep down knowing that you don't know the truth. Dad, I just wanted to tell you because lying is like an avalanche that sooner or later was going to fall on us, it was better to avoid the surprise impact and say it now “ I lower my head and play with my hands “. I know mom should talk to you, but don't be hard on her.“You have no right, correction, they have no right to ask for compassion, they have lied to me. “This is unforg
“Oh really?"Yes, Luna," says Dad, he arrived a few minutes ago and I can't believe what he tells me."That's great, they deserve it," I admit, deeply moved.My father smiles and caresses the back of my hand on the table. He's been talking about proposing to mom. What she has had a suspicion. I think it's great that they can come together in such a special way.“So I was waiting for your approval, do you think Paris is the right setting? “She wants to know.“It is dad. He is ideal and romantic “ I express sincerely.What worries me about this is that Mom is still not honest with my father. I feel like there should be no secrets, and hiding what her ex”husband was is a huge secret that she can't keep forever. I know that means I have to confess the truth to my father too. I have no other choice.Maybe it's time, but that would ruin the hope he has of seeing mom at the altar. I don't want to hurt her desire, but her push to be honest with him is strong and she beats me to it."Dad, ther
I breathe hard, I find myself exalted under the darkness of the room. It's not dawn yet, and I hate it because it will be hard for me to go back to sleep. I have managed to calm the rapid beating of my heart, before it shook with fury inside me. The cold sudoe is still on my forehead and my nerves are afloat. Reliving that scene bites my senses. It was a horrible moment that fortunately passed.Without realizing it I regain sleep.I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. But not before turning around and looking at my little angel who is still peaceful on the quilt. He can sleep soundly, which I like. Once in the bathroom he starts brushing my teeth, it takes me longer than usual to get decent. Then comes a shower that relaxes me.Returning to the room, Matthew is already awake. He jumps on the bed until he falls on the same quilt. He woke up quite energetic. He gives me a hug and kiss good morning.“Do you want to shower in the bathroom? “I ask him.“Yeah! “She exclaims.So I prepa
And the cake did turn out well, we were already devouring the first bite. I tell him to take Matt a piece. I stay in the kitchen, cut a triangle and put it on a small plate. Then I go up to my room and take it to Aleksander.I was talking on the phone.I had the feeling that I should stay behind the door and listen to everything. Although the mental push to do so could cause him to fall flat on his face. Anyway I stay behind the wood.“Sarah was with Elmo? Fuck! "I didn't know she had even been close to my wife," she declares angrily.I can not believe it.The memory comes to my mind.Flashback“C”can I know what your name is? “I whisper and I think I should have kept quiet, I may have taken my question inappropriately.What was he thinking when he blurted out?"Why the hell would I give you my name?" “he says hostile, I'm not surprised by his attitude “. But, since you want to know and you'll be my new partner, if Elmo doesn't think of selling you, then yes, I'll tell you my name, Sa
He didn't expect to see Grace here, what credible explanation is he going to give her now? I can't hide some annoyance."What happened to you, Aleksander?" She”she wants to know, she is the first to stand up, she covers her mouth shocked by what she sees.I must act quickly."Grace, don't be upset," I ask her and make her sit down again. Stay here.I take Alek's hand and take him with me to the room. I get into the bathroom with him and start looking for the first aid kit. My hands shake throughout the entire process.“Don't worry…“Don't worry me? “I blurt out angrily"You can't tell me not to do it, Alek," he growled. Look at your condition, you should go to a doctor."I'm not going to the hospital, it's just blood and it's not even mine," he says as if nothing had happened.“Now, whose life have you taken away? “I question, devastated by his atrocities. Take off your shirt, Aleksander, you stink.“I'm sorry."Don't say you're sorry when you're not, dammit," she roared angrily.His
Now there is something extra to worry about, which increases the sleeplessness all night.During the early morning I move uncomfortably on the bed, I haven't managed to sleep a wink. Someone enters the room, I know it's Alek, his silhouette under the darkness is familiar to me. He lies down next to me and hugs me around the waist.“What are you doing awake? Don't tell me I was the culprit.The thing about Grace can't get out of my head. I just hope everything is okay, although not receiving even a sign from her indicates that nothing worse has happened. I don't know if she should tell Aleksander, she won't tell anyone anyway.“No, you didn't wake me up, I haven't been able to sleep for a long time. I thought you were staying with Matthew all night.Sighs."I can't be without you, he fell asleep a long time ago," he explains, kissing my cheek. What's happening to you?"It's Grace, she called me a few hours ago," I admit uneasily.“And what happened to your sister? “She questions."She'
