New York, United StatesI am moved with care, it is a loving shaking accompanied by an insistent whisper that signals my awakening. The truth is I don't want to open my eyes, I'm lazy, plus unconsciously everything is calm, if I blink the feline reality scratches me again. That happens in a flash, I'm in a huge bed with white sheets, in a room that my brain instantly recognizes.I'm home, it's a miracle.I'm finally back!The woman who woke me up is Elena. Her brown eyes, her dark hair and her velvet touch, seeing her again warms my soul. She doesn't take long to hug me with love, there are also tears in the middle that reveal tenderness and acceptance without measures.“Mom,” I say in a tone that has been crystallized by emotion, she is not far behind, her voice calls me in the same affected way. I thought she would never see you again..."But you're here, Luna, you're home again and that's the most important thing," she says moved, gives me a kiss on the cheek and finally moves away
When I go out I can't believe what my eyes see. There he is, as if nothing had happened, I don't see him as bad, on the contrary, he looks physically excellent for having been in the middle of shootings. Seeing him made my throat feel tight and my heart picked up an accelerated rhythm, it's his effect on me, and this time is no exception.“Moon…“I…, I thought something bad had happened to you? “is the first thing I say, I don't move a single centimeter, I feel that there is an emotional shock that continues inside me.“I know how you feel now, I put your life in danger, love. "I was about to lose you again, damn it," he covers his face and doesn't let me look at him for a few seconds.I don't know what to do.After hesitating for a while I decide to take the first step, I advance towards him with the intention of giving him an intense hug.“I love you, Aleksander, I know it's complicated, that our relationship never stops causing problems. "Look at me, Alek," I incite, moving a palm
The cold war does not end there.I don't want to prolong the fight, I don't feel like it, I should realize or be able to admit that enough is enough. He must accept that we need to be on his side, it is not definitive, but it is the best we can do for Matthew's well”being. Of course he doesn't agree, he doesn't want us to leave home, he doesn't like me leaving with the child. But he's going to have to give in, he can't refuse knowing that he'll be putting lives at stake."I can't believe you want to do this, I don't think you're thinking with a cool head," he assumes, he's pointing at me and he shouldn't be. Luna, maybe we can solve this another way...“There is no other way! “I deliberate, tired of her not opening her eyes, she doesn't want to “. This hurts, I know, even if you want to look like an oak, I know it affects you to be away from us, but you have to allow it, Alek. It won't be for long.The tears have gathered in my eyes again and hesitate to come out. Aleksander denies, h
I can feel how the quilt sinks next to me, I think I know who the dream is, a tingling rises in my back when his touch in the middle of the darkness reviews the area. My skin reacts, I'm to blame, I don't avoid it. To whom I lie? In an instant, in a single second of having his touch on me, I already want to give up.My breathing begins to accelerate, I lose control and I can now pretend to be asleep. Like a good fortune teller, he moves his palm in a light caress on my cheek. The sweet gesture also asks for something, to turn us off, to consume us at the same time.I turn around looking at his beautiful face under the dim moonlight. Her reflection, her face is really interesting, it seems perfect to me. It's like that sensual wolf that is looking to devour me. I want me to do it. I smile a little, even though I love him and want him to make me his right now, I also feel the urge to ask him about her strange departure.“Where you were? “I question, unable to silence him anymore. He owe
I wake up with the sun on my face. The wrinkles in the sheets next to me indicate Aleksander's absence, he has left soon. I'm no longer sure if he's gone to work or not.It's Monday.I wake up lazily, after last night's action I honestly feel a little exhausted. Almost reluctantly I head to the bathroom and wash my face, then brush my teeth and go for that shower that my body needs so much. Water is an incentive that has just awakened all my senses. I come out wrapped in a bathrobe. I jump when I notice that my father is there at the edge of the bed.“Dad…“Good morning, Lunita. As you wake? I knocked but you didn't answer me, I figured you were in the bathroom. Your mother and I are going home. "She has prepared your favorite breakfast for you," she explains, getting up and leaving.“Oh, thank you, dad. I hope you visit me soon, and I have to tell you something”I'm just getting a little closer.His eyes connect with me.“What happen dear?“Well… Has Alek already left? “I'm curious fi
I still can't stop thinking about Dad's phone conversation. I don't like that he shows up at a gangster's funeral, in fact he doesn't know that he is one, that's even worse.What I can do? I think nothing.Curse!I don't focus on anything. Even with the silence at home, it's just Matthew and me. Outside the bodyguards. While he continues watching one of his favorite animated movies, I take the opportunity to pack a bag with everything I will need. I keep thinking about Aleksander, does he know that dad is going to that funeral? I'm not sure my father ever told him about it.If the rest of the men know Gregg as my father, that exposes him, because I am married to the enemy and the cause of Ferreti's murder. Holy God! I must stop him from going to that place. The only way is to tell Aleksander.Yes, that's what I'll do.I immediately pick up the phone and dial him, luckily for me he answers me quickly.“Alek, I need to tell you something."I hope it's really important, I'm about to ente
The golden hour of the day arrives, finding my sister and I making lunch. In the end we agreed to make the cake later, since as I imagined, I didn't have the necessary ingredients.Dominic will come with the things, and so he will eat with us.“Are you going to work next week? “She speaks while cutting the carrots. His performance is impeccable, it seems that she has been working hard in the kitchen.“I'm not sure, at least I won't be there physically, I can manage my tasks from the laptop, but if something suddenly requires me to be in person, then I will go.“Of course, dad wants me to do my internship at the company, the truth is that I'm hesitating “he twists his lips.I was surprised. Because I was in the company since I was young, both as an apprentice and as a professional. That she doesn't want to leaves me confused.“Because? If I can know it…“It's nothing bad, I just had another company in mind, I want to experiment, you know? No special treatment just for being the owner's
I shake my head, thinking about what happened that day has a double impact. We didn't take care of ourselves last night, I don't remember, and I stopped taking the pill days ago. I'm worried about that, and I wonder about the possibility of getting pregnant again, it couldn't be right at this time, it's not right.I won't worry about something baseless.I go to the bathroom, I am captivated by the new design. This combines a white mosaic with iridescent glitter along with some yellow LED elements and lights. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a winter landscape and a wooden shelter that is heated by the flames of the fireplace that appears next to the bathtub.I soak in the bathtub for a while. In the apparent calm that the short moment emanates, I say short because I must hurry and see Matthew that I left in the room sleeping. But he can wake up at any time.Alone I sink into the past, pleasantly or not I still miss him, and it hasn't even been twenty”four hours since I saw him. Someho
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'
