Chapter 197 - Alice
“Please take this pill, Mrs. Bianchi.” one of the paramedics asked, holding out a glass of water and a small pill to her eyes “It will help you calm down, but it won't make you too drowsy, I promise.”
“Give this a chance, love.” Massimo asked, while stroking her back to try to reduce the frequency of the sobs that were making her body shake “You'll feel better.”
“I…” Alice tried to recover enough to accept the tranquilizer, but the image of Amber's dead body falling against the ground, just a few feet away from her, came back to haunt her once again “I never wanted that to happen. We should have captured them both alive. Despite of everything that happened between me and Amber, I never wanted her to…”
“That wasn’t your

“And so we say our goodbye to Amber Dawsey, gone so soon, but with the knowledge that the Lord has plans for her in his kingdom.” the pastor said, his voice calm and almost diplomatic, probably because it was not the first funeral he had performed in which the deceased had so few people willing to mourn her departure “Please, may you lower the coffin.”As Amber's only family, Alice had been in the front pew throughout the wake, but now they had reached the cemetery, she had allowed herself to stay a little distant while her only cousin was placed in that deep grave. The normal tradition among the Dawseys would be to bury her near her grandfather, as he had been the last to die, but most of High Society were speculating that Alice would place her in some cemetery somewhere, almost as a pauper. Alice, however, had done neither. Amber was

“The Honorable Judge Roberts concluded her considerations. The court can stand.”At the sound of the bailiff's voice, Alice stood up immediately, but without ever letting go of Massimo's hand. Like the many witnesses who had spent the entire day testifying, she, her husband and her father were in one of the last rows of benches in the courtroom. However, she could still clearly see the woman with white hair and serious features returning to her pulpit, with a thick sheaf of papers in her hands. The trial had been long due to Kendra's list of crimes, but the jurors' deliberation had been much faster than Alice had expected.Probably because Kendra's behavior during the entire trial had not advocated in her favor, in the eyes of the oath-bearers.In the dock, two officers were still sitting on either

“Look, mommy! These boats are so small! They look like the bathtub toy Dad gave me!” Millicent pointed out, trapped in Alice's arms, as she seemed too excited about the sea view outside the hotel window, maybe even enough to try jumping straight into the sea “Can we ride in one? I want to see the fish!”“Those are fishing boats, piccola.” Massimo explained, looking more than proud that Millie is loving every detail of his homeland “This town is small, so most residents survive on fishing, in addition to tourism. But, don't worry. As soon as we go to Florence in two days, there will be lots of boat trips for us to do.” He opened his arms so she could jump into his lap “We came here first because I wanted to show you the place where I was born.”“I want to see the house where you were a baby!&rdquo

“What are you…? Wait, did you buy this place? Like, this whole property?” Alice's eyes widened, although she should no longer be surprised by Massimo's behavior at that point.“This will be our home whenever we need to come to Italy and get some rest.” He nodded towards the mansion before them, which looked like a small castle in the middle of the meadow “It's not that far from Positano or all the other big cities around, but it's also the perfect place to stay in peace for a while. I know it might look a little dated, but I did some renovations recently. I bought this land years ago, but, other than the cabin, I never had the desire to make any other changes... Until I realized that our family deserved a cozy place to stay when they were here on vacation... Or, who knows, in the future, spending a slightly longer season.” Massimo cleared his throat “There will always be excellent opportunities in the nurs

“What a magnificent party, don’t you think, Mom?”“I don't know... I think they could put more chandeliers in this room and do a better job with all the dusty terrain on this farm. It’s not at the height of a Bianchi, even though Massimo seems to like keeping his country boy roots alive, God knows why…”“Don’t be so surly, Margareth. You were always complaining about him being the first Bianchi not to host a party to celebrate his rise as CEO. But, we’re here now, aren’t we?”“And can we blame him? After everything that happened… Alice being Micah Griffin and Elise's daughter, his stepdaughter turning out to be his biological daughter, the kidnapping attempts and all Kendra's downfall… God, I remember complaining that last year had been so uneventful, but could you ever have imagined that we would see all of this happen in such a short time?”“Can you believe it? They were just Tommaso's bastard son and Kendra's weird daughter, but now they are Mr. and Mrs. Bianchi! God, Tommaso’s moth

One of Massimo’s worst nightmare was hearing his wife scream in pain. But he could never have imagined it would happen on what should have been one of the happiest days of his life.“Oh, Jesus…” Alice whimpered, tears falling from the corner of her eyes as another contraction seemed to hit her, making her face contort in pain “Oh my God!” Her scream echoed throughout the delivery room, at the same time that Alice squeezed his hand as hard as she could, almost as if her life depended on it.“Why is she in so much pain?” Massimo growled towards one of the nurses who was standing next to the doctor leaning between Alice’s knees “You said you would give her anesthesia…!”“She received anesthesia, Mr. Bianchi.” one of the older nurses there sighed, making it seem like he wasn't the first father who had questioned that kind of thing “But, you opted for a natural birth, which means that very strong anesthesia could prevent your wife from being able to control her muscles and push, which woul

“A round of applause for our graduates! Mark Abbott! Camilla Allende! Bernard Attinks!”The campus director started calling out one student after another, causing all of Alice's classmates who were around her, behind the stage, to start shaking. Well, her heart was also beating a little out of time, she had to admit. There were so many years of dreaming and then five more years of studying, so that she could reach that day...But even so, it still felt almost like a dream as Alice watched her classmates walk out onto the stage, one after the other, so they could pick up their diplomas and wave to their family members who were sitting in the audience.“Oh, man…” Dakota Brown, a 23-year-old who had become one of Alice’s closest friends during college, muttered “They’re almost in the surnames that start with B… Damn, my legs won’t stop shaking. I hope I don't trip and fall on stage, for everyone to see. It would be all my brother needs to make fun of me for the rest of my life.”“You’re g

Most people thought Micah had never been the type to get over things easily, but that wasn't true. A long time ago, when he was young and the world still seemed like a place full of incredible things waiting to happen, his sadness didn't stay with him for long. His father had taught him to be optimistic and that's what he tried to be... Until he suffered the first loss in his life that could not be reversed.“Grandpa…” Millicent, the precious little girl who had been his greatest gift after Alice, asked him, the candy he had given her still in her hand, with her tooth stuck in it “Do you really think the tooth fairy will meet me here in France? What if she goes to my room at home and doesn’t find me?”“Don’t worry, honey.” Micah laughed, picking her up in his arms so they could walk down that little hill “The tooth fairy always knows where all the children in the world are. And I guarantee that, for a good girl like you, she might even give a doubly valuable gift.” He blinked, pleased
