Chapter 46 - Alice
Last Updated:
2024-06-20 18:04:45From the snack table, Alice could still see, in the distance, Massimo, Emma and Dante talking. Or rather, Emma and Massimo having a low-key discussion while Dante seemed to try to mediate. God knew Massimo would be outraged if he knew how protective she felt towards him, but Alice couldn't help it. Just as she knew she couldn't meddle after he asked to face that woman alone, as he had done since he was a child.
Head down and trying to convince herself that Emma wouldn't allow a real fight to break out to ruin her party, Alice looked ahead, searching across the huge table for Lucy to be at. Her husband had returned home after another business trip and so Lucy could never stay on her cell phone for long, but they had managed to talk long enough to know that they would both be there. Plus, there was a part of Alice that was genuinely curious to meet the woman named Ruby Bennett and find out if she really was

“What the...!” Massimo’s brother, or rather, her brother-in-law, cursed, pulling his lips away from the girl, but still keeping her protectively around his arms.With Dante away, Alice could see that the girl had dark blonde hair that fell in long curls down to her waist, light brown almost golden eyes hidden behind the thick lenses of her glasses and was dressed very differently from all the guests. Instead of a formal dress, she was wearing a half-open white blouse and a pencil skirt that had clearly been lifted up a bit.And, as she had clearly interrupted a special moment, Alice could only blush and put her hands in the air.“I... I’m sorry...” she stammered “I didn’t mean to come in like that. I was just looking for a bathroom...”

"Where were you?" Massimo’s voice reached her at the moment when Alice had just approached the drinks table, to drink something before being able to look for him “I was looking for you...”Chewing the inside of her cheek, Alice turned as the sound of his wheelchair's wheels came to a stop near her, expecting to find him angry that she had left him alone or suspicious as to why she had disappeared from the room to wandering around the Bianchi mansion... However, what she found on his face when their eyes met was just concern, which made her explanations evaporate for an instant.“I... I'm sorry. I needed to go to the bathroom.” She cleared her throat awkwardly.“Was that really all?” Massimo sighed, and only then could she see the annoyance behind his concern “While I w

“I thought maybe after being away from people for so long you could have learned to be a little nicer…” Christopher mumbled, his frown lines becoming even deeper because of the grimace “But, I see that no. You shouldn't be in the hospital, getting shots or something..."“And shouldn’t you be looking for someone stupid enough to be your client?” Massimo cut him off, merciless as if Christopher’s opinion was worth the same as an insect to him “If you want to grieve over the bankruptcy of yet another of your law firms, then do it in front of your father, not with me.”“That’s just a rumor.” Christopher hissed angrily, his face painted red, before he turned to the beautiful woman who was with them “You see, Miss. Bennett, it's hard to control this kind of nasty intrigue. The only r

“What a ridiculous thing!” Christopher cut off his wife, between his teeth “No one ever tried to intimidate Massimo! We were all just kids playing. Now, as I was saying...”“I'm always so happy to know someone thinks the same as me.” Miss. Bennett smiled, her once cold features changing completely as she turned to Lucy, acting as if Christopher wasn't there “I also suffered from exclusion from my classmates when I was a child, as I was the only scholarship student in my class. What worried me most was that none of them seemed to really understand why they were wrong. It’s rare, but also very good to realize that not all people born with money are like this.” With that bright smile, Ruby leaned forward a little towards Lucy, eliminating the centimeters of height difference between her, making Alice's best friend blush.

“Thanks, Josiah.” Alice sighed in pure relief as she set foot in the mansion's living room, feeling as if she had spent an entire week at the Bianchi mansion, rather than just a few hours "I'm sorry if we woke you up..."“It’s fine. Massimo always leaves these parties early anyway. So, I went to a drive-thru burger place on that road.” The old man laughed “Just don’t tell Thea. At this time she is probably in bed, but not yet asleep. If you want, I can ask her to prepare two hot baths.”“Thank you, but she has already done a lot today. Let her rest.” Alice asked, plopping down on the sofa “If Massimo needs anything, I can help him.”“Are you offering to give me a bath?” he raised an eyebrow, so serious that Alice gasped in embarrassm

“What?!” Alice gasped, her blood running cold.“A heart-warming family reunion, isn’t it?” Massimo laughed contemptuously “But oddly enough, this was positive for me. I learned from day one that I wasn't welcome by anyone in that house, other than my father. He had hopes that things would change as time went by, but my mother and I knew the truth. That same night, I begged her to we go back home, but... She was honest with me. She told me that, soon, my father would be the only family I would have, so I needed to be strong and not allow those people to destroy me. Four months later, she died.” He revealed, making Alice's eyes become heavy with tears “My father tried to help her, but it was too late. Tuberculosis led to several widespread infections, until she could no longer resist. As she told me would happen, all I had was my father.”

“My parents... Did something similar happen between you and Millie’s father?” Massimo asked, but his curiosity disappeared the moment he noticed her body tensing “Forget it. I know my father was one in a million. I how many cowardly sons of bitches there are out there, incapable of assuming their own flesh and blood.”“I... I always thought that Millicent and I would never fit into his life. When I found out I was pregnant, I was sure my baby would be a shock and a hindrance for him.” Alice admitted, although every word was like a stab at her, with her mind begging her to stop “There was a lot at stake, especially on his side, and I knew how it feels to be an unwanted child. It seemed like the best choice was to keep his life as it was, so that's what I did. A lot of things have changed in the last almost 5 years, but...” she sniffed “I don't thin

If one day someone had told Massimo that he would be supervising a children's party with the same care he used to oversee his company's projects, he would probably have laughed for hours. Yet, there he was, standing in the middle of his farm's garden, watching as all the workers finished assembling the toys, stocking the food carts, and decorating every inch of his property for Millicent's birthday.“Is that Millie’s new daddy?” a childish and frightened voice asked, and, from the corner of his eye, Massimo noticed three children who had already arrived for the party watching him, close to their mothers, whispering to each other “Why is he sitting on a chair that has wheels? Is it because he likes riding in cars?”“Can I have a nice chair like his, mommy?” another little girl asked, grabbing her mother's skirt.

“Look! Here comes our lovely bride!”At the sound of her aunt's cheerful and even slightly emotional voice, Millicent forced a smile, trying to look as light and happy as possible as she walked towards them, as any bride should be. Around her, the engagement party continued exactly as she had left it, flawless with drinks being served to smiling guests and the decor without a single flower petal out of place. Everything was perfect and she could see that everyone there, especially her family, also thought the same.And knowing that almost made her regret what they were about to witness.“You look so beautiful, Millie…” her Aunt Heidi was the first to come over, wrapping her in a warm hug “God, I can hardly believe that soon we will actually see you in a wedding dress and walking into a church...”“You look like you were a little girl just a few hours ago…” Thea, who had been her nanny throughout her childhood, took another tissue from the almost empty box on her lap “And now you are go

“You look so beautiful, Debbie... Isn't it amazing how that dress makes your hair color pop?” Evangeline hummed, and, even though she struggled, Deborah had her chin held and was forced to look at her own reflection in the mirror before them. “You… You really think so?” she swallowed nervously. “Of course! This will be perfect to shut up all those mean girls who are always talking about how this beautiful red is a mark of the God of Discord. Oh, I would give anything to have hair like that too...” Evangeline sighed, running her fingers through her perfectly straight, snow-white hair. "Do not say that. Your hair is perfect. How could it not be? It is a symbol of the Moon Goddess.” Deborah turned to face her cousin, intertwining their hands “And, don’t worry. I know that before I was always wetting your shoulder with my tears because of this, but... Iron is always saying that my hair is beautiful, so... I have no reason to cry anymore. Whenever he tells me I'm completely perfect...

“Okay, honey. Now… Open your eyes.” Alice asked and, when Millicent opened her eyes and looked at her reflection in the mirror, the smile that appeared on her face made her mother's heart more than happy. “That’s amazing, Mom!” Millie smiled to herself, moving closer to the reflection to observe in more detail the way Alice had painted her eyelids “I’m… I’m pretty, right?” she asked with a shy smile, as her hands nervously twisted the hem of the dark green dress, the same color as her eyes, that she was wearing. “You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, honey.” Alice sniffled, holding her daughter's face, unable to stop the tears from flowing. “Mom, please… Don’t cry again.” her daughter asked, hugging her. "Sorry. It’s just… One day you were my little girl, running around the house wanting to play with your dolls and now… You’re a 16 year old girl, almost as tall as me and getting ready for your first date.” she had to stop once again to stop herself from bursting int

“And this is the role of fibroblasts in the healing process.” Alice spoke on the phone, as she took her pie out of the oven, happy to see that the dough had turned golden and crispy, exactly how her husband liked it “You can read more about this in the Cell Biology book. Any other questions, Lindsey?”“No, Alice.” the freshman sighed on the other end of the line, clearly relieved “You saved my life. And thank you for letting me record our conversation, it will help me a lot to review all of this for the next test. I just hope it’s not as killer as the last one.” she lamented “Mrs. Doherty was right. You are the best monitor we could ask for.” “It’s just my job.” Alice laughed, opening the cabinet doors where the dishes were “Now, if you don't have any more questions, I'll hang up now, okay? And, if any of your friends comment they tried to contact me this weekend and couldn't, can you let them know that I'm busy? And also remind them that my work as a monitor can only take place dur

“I… I’m sorry if your father isn’t a good father.” Millicent said, feeling like it wasn't right to leave him alone there, even though he clearly wanted that "My mother also had very bad parents and they hurt her a lot, until she found out they had lied and were not her real parents…”“I don’t think I’ll be that lucky.” he grumbled, not looking at her.“Well, that's bad, but that's not what I was going to suggest. When I was very little, mommy… I mean, my Mom told me that bad parents make their children wonder what they did wrong to be treated badly. But the real question should be: how can a father or mother be so mean to their own child? Never let the bad words of your family get to you. Just because a person is your family, doesn't mean he or she is right about yoy.” Millicent recited, although the memories of her mother's words were a little blurry, coming from the time when they still lived in that small room in the Dawsey mansion and she didn't even know her father existed.“That

“Okay, class. We are already accommodating your parents in the main auditorium.” Mrs. Keeley, one of the 3rd grade teachers, clapped her hands as she entered the classroom full of children, quickly grabbing the basket full of cookies that was on the table "Everything is ready, so Miss Shepherd will be calling you any moment, okay? Don't forget the chorus of the song and much less the part reserved just for your father. I’m counting on you!” she said, her voice so fast it was almost difficult to understand, as she left the room once again, practically running towards the auditorium where the Father's Day performance would take place. “You shouldn’t have left putting those bows on the brownies at the last possible moment, Poppy!” Cassie grumbled, but still didn't stop applying the glue stick to the glittery paper bows. “It’s not my fault!” Poppy whimpered, desperately trying to glue the bows onto the cellophane of the brownies she was giving her father as a gift “Mom told me she would

“And, as a last question, Mrs. Bianchi, how do you feel, as the creator, seeing your social project come so far and reach so many people positively?” the reporter asked, turning the microphone towards her as the cameras were turned towards them. “It’s a wonderful feeling. Every day, we receive several families who are unable to even obtain a loan to pay their medical expenses and, here, we are able to serve them in the best possible way, often restoring the quality of life that they had lost a long time ago. It's teamwork from a fantastic team of not only nurses, but also doctors and other healthcare professionals, who I was very lucky to be able to bring together here to support this initiative. My expectations for the future are that we can further expand our capabilities and be able to serve oncology and kidney patients soon.” “That’s great to hear.” the reporter said, his excessively white teeth gleaming against the sun as he smiled at the camera. “And that was our interview with

“Elise?” His voice cracked, sounding almost as if all the air had been stolen from his lungs."Are you okay?" she murmured, moving even closer to him to caress his face, her hands feeling as soft as he remembered “Did you have a nightmare? You were talking in your sleep, but I couldn’t understand…”“Elise?! Is it really you?” Micah sat up with a start, but only managed to feel even more confused when he realized he was lying on a bed, in Elise's youthful room, with the same lilac wallpaper and one of the walls covered in sheet music, next to her grand piano. A few meters away from the bed was the balcony, with the glass doors ajar, where he used to sneak into her room after climbing the large empress tree that was right next to it.“Of course it's me…” her eyebrows furrowed more and more “Are you sure you're okay, Micah? I know you spent the whole day helping your father prune the trees in the garden. If you want to go home and get some rest, I don't mind. We can do it another night…”
