Dante was engrossed in a lively conversation with Nicole in the hallway outside her office. They were laughing about the prank Dante had pulled on his brother, knowing that by now he must be fuming.

"DANTE, in my office," Bruno's voice boomed, startling Nicole and Dante. They turned to face the approaching ogre.

"Good morning to you too, Bruno," Dante replied, trying to maintain his composure despite the pounding headache he felt coming on.

"Save it," Bruno snapped, giving him a menacing glare as he walked past Nicole. He felt like his head was about to explode into a thousand pieces.

"Good morning, little brother," Dante greeted him cheerfully, as always.

"Don't try to be funny, Dante. My office, now," Bruno demanded.

"As you wish, boss," Dante replied, giving a mock military salute that made Nicole laugh, while Bruno retreated into his office.

"See you later, sis-in-law. I'm going to take the wind out of the ogre's sails," Dante winked at her before entering his brother's office.

  • Prisoner in your arms   Do you want to be my girlfriend?

    Nicole regretted telling Leandro what Bruno said. Now she felt worried because she feared a problem between them.In the morning, Leandro arrived at Bruno's office. He tried to stay calm; otherwise, he would be prevented from entering. Bertha announced him, and Bruno was surprised by his visit but asked him to come in."De Santis, what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" Bruno didn't imagine that Nicole had told him.Bruno received a strong punch to the jaw as a response, catching him off guard. He staggered a bit but managed to regain his balance and retaliated with a strong punch to Leandro's stomach. Bertha entered to see what was happening and immediately called security. The guards arrived and managed to separate them."What the hell is wrong with you, De Santis? You're a damn madman, how dare you come here and hit me.""You have the audacity to ask what's going on. You lied to Nicole to turn her against me. You're a miserable coward.""I only said what Sondra told me. You paid

  • Prisoner in your arms   Divorce

    In the morning, Nicole woke up early. She wanted to prepare her son's favorite breakfast, pancakes with honey and apple. She hurriedly prepared them, and as soon as they were ready, she went upstairs to get Santi, who was already dressed. She carried him downstairs, showering his little cheek with kisses. The doorbell rang, and Sara rushed to answer it. It was Bruno. Nicole was surprised to see him there."Good morning.""Dad, it's great that you're here!" Santi ran to hug him."Hello, son. I would like to take you to school if your mom allows it.""Can I go with Dad?" Nicole could see the excitement in her son's eyes."That beautiful smile has convinced me. Finish your breakfast and go with Dad. Bruno, can I talk to you for a moment?""Of course."Nicole walked towards the study, and Bruno followed. Once inside, Nicole closed the door."I don't want to seem too strict, but I ask that you inform me beforehand before coming to see Santi, please. You can take him out and bring him to sc

  • Prisoner in your arms   A Russian playboy

    Amadeus Richter, a renowned Russian entrepreneur, was the owner of one of the world's most prestigious hotel chains, the Richter Hotels. The Richter hotels were known for their 5-star quality, and the man was committed to ecological and sustainable development. This aspect had caught Nicole's interest, as she had studied several projects related to the design of these hotels. If she hadn't signed the contract with Bruno, she would have undoubtedly accepted Mr. Richter's job offer. Not everyone would have such an opportunity.Bruno was visibly jealous and was unsure if it was the right time to divorce Nicole. Doing so would undoubtedly be like throwing her into the arms of that Russian playboy, because that's what this guy was. After leaving Nicole's office, Bruno went straight to his computer to do some more research on who this man was, trying to pull Nicole away from his side."So, Amadeus Richter, huh? He has quite a history of conquests around the world, from Arabian to Japanese

  • Prisoner in your arms   I have lost her forever

    Nicole and Amadeus were in a luxurious restaurant. She realized that he was as imposing as he appeared. He had reserved a whole area of the fancy restaurant to avoid being disturbed. His gaze unsettled her; he kept it fixed on her almost the entire time. After they finished eating, they discussed the project."I wish, if possible, to have the sketches ready within two weeks. The hotels will be renovated gradually, starting with the buildings and then the gardens. As you may know, my hotels are renowned for producing more energy than they consume, thanks to solar panels and triple-glazed windows. I want the gardens to no longer be just decorative elements. Therefore, the design should be both efficient and decorative. It should include not only ornamental plants but also areas with small botanical gardens and orchards. This way, they can be used as tourist attractions and perhaps even for educational purposes, where activities can be held to teach children about the vital role of gar

    Bruno felt like the weight of the world had fallen on him. He had to know who the father of that baby was. Could it be Amadeus? Impossible, he had just met him, or so he thought. Maybe they were just pretending in front of him.Meanwhile, Sophie ran down the street with Nicole chasing after her, trying to catch up."Sophie, please stop," Nicole shouted as she stopped and bent over, placing both hands on her knees, sweat dripping down her forehead.The blonde stopped her wild run, turned to look at Nicole, and felt guilty seeing her friend in that state. After a few moments, she returned to where her friend was."I'm sorry, friend. It's not your fault what I'm going through. I apologize for disturbing your peace. I know you already have enough problems," she said, tears streaming down her face.Nicole approached and hugged her friend. They headed to a nearby café close to their workplace.Bruno called Dante. He needed to vent, and his brother immediately came to his aid. They decided t

  • Prisoner in your arms   Karma

    This made Nicole extremely nervous. She pulled over the car, not wanting to cause an accident with Bruno in that state. She gently removed his hand that was gripping her leg, but he put it back while giving her a mischievous look. He began to lean in closer to her face, but at that moment, he started to gag and vomit. Nicole couldn't believe her bad luck. The interior of the car and part of her clothes were stained. She quickly got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and helped him out. She held him while he vomited. In that moment, she thought that Bruno Leone must have entered her life because of karma. If that had to be the definitive reason, then she must have done something in her past life that she was paying for with him in this one.When he regained control, she let go of him to clean his face. She took some paper towels from the car and started to clean him up. Bruno stared at her and then smiled."I love you," he said, his gaze fixed on her and a silly smile on his

  • Prisoner in your arms   Back at the bar

    Amadeus and his entourage left later, and Nicole decided to talk to Bruno to finally resolve the issue of their divorce. Alizza was organizing the meeting room."Bruno, I need us to finally sign the divorce papers. Please accept the corrections I've made to the agreement. You just have to sign, and we'll be divorced right away.""From what I can see, you won't give in," he asked in a tone that revealed his sadness. He couldn't help it."Not at all," she replied curtly.Nicole took the documents out of her bag, signed them, and handed them to him. Then she turned around and went back to her office, feeling her heart beating fast and not wanting him to notice.Bruno watched her walk away, his face completely flushed. He tried to hold back the tears that threatened to come. Maybe it wasn't the best time to accept the divorce. He was concerned about Amadeus's interest in Nicole.Suddenly, a hand on his shoulder snapped him out of his thoughts. It was Alizza, and when he turned around, he

    Santi was excited to meet so many pleasant people. At first, he felt uncomfortable, but he was getting used to it. The guests were impressed when they saw the painting of him and his father; they looked exactly alike.After a couple of months, Nicole finally reunited with her parents. Of course, they didn't invite Sondra; she could keep her poison far away from Nicole.The other guests were intrigued by the fact that she had two mothers and two fathers. They wanted to know and didn't hesitate to ask her. She avoided those people; she couldn't go around explaining everything to everyone.Dante, Sophie, and Máx arrived shortly after. Máx approached Nicole, greeting her warmly with a kiss on the cheek and a tight hug. Bruno was leaning against the railing of the spacious terrace, observing the scene. A deep furrow appeared on his forehead, a sign of his displeasure. He couldn't help it; he could contain his words, but his gestures spoke for themselves.He was surprised to see Alizza and

  • Prisoner in your arms   Epilogue

    Bruno and Nicole were enjoying their honeymoon. They had barely seen Dante and Sophie, as they had explored much of the beautiful island. It felt like being in a completely different world, wonderful and peaceful."The island of the gods, now I understand why it's called that," Bruno said, standing on the beach and gazing at the beautiful turquoise waters. He was barefoot on the soft sand, feeling like they were in paradise on Earth.Nicole was playing in the water, resembling a little girl. She was collecting some seashells, and when she had gathered several, she would return them to the sea."What are you doing?" Bruno asked, amused."I'm observing these little shells. They all have something different," she replied. Bruno looked at them, seeing them all as absolutely identical.He approached her and kissed her neck, a playful smile forming on his lips."How about we postpone our trip to Ubud until tomorrow?" he suggested, hoping she would accept his proposal."What plans do you hav

    They transferred Nicole to the delivery room. Bruno was given special clothing to accompany her. After they were sterilized, he set up two cameras to film the birth from different angles and stood beside Nicole, holding her hand.Nicole was sweating profusely. The doctor tried to administer an epidural, but she adamantly refused. Bruno took a cloth to wipe her forehead.The pain from the contractions became even stronger, and she squeezed Bruno's hand tightly."Damn it! It hurts so much.""My love, sweetheart, you're going to rip my hand off," Bruno said gently, trying not to upset her."You can rip off my hand and what's between your legs, and you still wouldn't feel what I'm feeling."Bruno turned pale at the thought of actually doing what she had said. Instinctively, he squeezed his legs together.He decided to endure her tight grip on his hand without complaining. That way, she wouldn't decide to squeeze anything else. The doctor instructed her to push with force, and she did so w

  • Prisoner in your arms   You will be mine forever

    Nicole was in her bedroom, unable to believe what was happening. She had brought with her the photo that Leandro had in his house in Milan. They had transferred his body to be buried in New York, and she still couldn't grasp the reality of what had happened.Shelsy and her mother had traveled with them. Bruno allowed it because the pain Sergio had caused him no longer hurt, and it was important for Nicole and Rina because the baby she carried in her womb was Leandro's.Nicole stood in front of the window, her gaze fixed on the photo. Bruno entered the room and approached her, pained to see her in such a state. He wiped away her tears with his hand."It's time, my love. We need to go to the church and then to the cemetery. I can't bear to see you suffer like this. I never got along with Leandro, and I apologize for that. I know he was very important to you and our child. By the way, my mother will stay with Santi. The doctor has advised that he should not be exposed to strong emotions.

    Hours later, the doctor emerged from the operating room, and everyone gathered around to hear the news. They could tell by his expression that it wasn't good."How is my son?" Rina asked desperately. Something inside her heart indicated that things were not going well. She felt a strong pressure in her chest."We managed to stabilize him. Unfortunately, the bullets did not exit his body, so we had to remove them. Internal organs have been compromised, so we'll have to wait and see how he responds in the next few hours. He's a young and strong man, so perhaps a miracle will happen. He will be transferred to a room, and in a few hours, he will wake up. Only one person at a time can visit him, only the closest ones, please. It's important not to exhaust him. He keeps mentioning a name, Nicole, repeatedly in his unconscious state."The women cried inconsolably, especially Nicole and Rina."Even near death, he thinks of me all the time. I can't handle this, really, I can't," Nicole said, i

    Leandro received the location, and the convoy of vans sped towards the outskirts of the city. However, further ahead, the tire of the van carrying Bruno began to malfunction, and Leandro, who was in the front, didn't notice.When he arrived at the location, he realized that the other two vans weren't behind him. He immediately called Bruno and instructed them to have some men from the third van get into their van. Then, he sent them the updated location. They were relatively close.Leandro was impatient; time was crucial to save her.Inside the house, Sergio had tied Nicole and the child to chairs. The child was frightened but tried his best not to cry. He didn't want Sergio to punish him as he had done so many times before.Sergio blindfolded them, turned on the camera, and started recording."Leone, I truly hope you can see this. Your wife will have to sign some documents if she wants me to release her son. Let me make it clear, she will leave this place feet-first, so these will be

    Later, the men went out in search of Sergio, leaving only Emma, Nicole, Rina, and Mara in the house, guarded by the bodyguards. In the evening, Nicole was resting in her room when her phone started ringing. It was an unknown number, and she was grateful to be alone at that moment. She already knew who it was.—"Hello," she answered.—"Well, you answer my calls quickly, my little dove. Are you already in Milan?" a chilling voice spoke on the other end.—"Yes," she replied weakly.—"Hahaha, I know. You're at my son's house. How obvious you've been," he taunted.Nicole felt shivers running down her spine. Could that man see them?—"Listen to me. Tomorrow, at four in the morning, a van will be waiting for you at the corner of the house. So, it's better for you to leave without being seen. When you arrive here, I will release your son. You will stay in your place."—"How do I know I can trust you? After all, you're not a trustworthy man," Nicole said, her voice filled with doubt.—"You hav

    Bruno said, getting up from the armchair where he had been sitting. Perhaps it was the strength of the liquor that allowed him to react. He looked out the window, and Nicole was still out on the terrace. He approached her and embraced her, and they stood there, silently holding each other.They were interrupted by Mara and René, who arrived shortly after. Nicole's parents also arrived, and they all gathered in the living room, simply looking at each other."What can we do? I feel like I'm wasting time here. I'm leaving for Italy right now. I didn't want to leave Nicole; I wanted to be by her side throughout the process. Leandro offered to search for him so that I could stay with her. Knowing that Santi was no longer in Sergio's hands gave me some peace of mind, but now my son's life is once again in the hands of that monster," Bruno said."We're deeply sorry for what happened to Deborah," Noah said. Despite having abandoned Bruno, she was still his mother.Bruno responded with a nod.

    Sara observed the couple with satisfaction as they continued to show their love for each other."It's only a couple of months until we have our baby in our arms. I know Santi will be with us soon, and our happiness will be complete," Bruno exclaimed, taking Nicole's hand and kissing it.In Italy, one of Sergio's men received a call."Sir, you have a call. It's one of the men who fled with Deborah."Sergio hurriedly approached, a satisfied smile on his face. He knew offering a large sum for Deborah would work."Speak," he answered, feeling restless."Sir.""Lazarus, it's good that you've decided to call me. Tell me, where is that damn bitch? You know I will reward you handsomely.""Transfer the amount you're offering to my family, and I will tell you where you can find her.""Send the account number to Sandro. He will make the transfer immediately. If you lie to me, your family will suffer the consequences. You know I can be very cruel when I set my mind to it.""Wait a moment." The ma

    Shelsy stood there, petrified. She wished she could tell him that she was expecting his child, but she couldn't speak. She just watched him silently walk away while she cried. Endra approached her at that moment."Did you tell him?" he asked, seeing her state. He thought she hadn't liked the news of her pregnancy."I couldn't. He doesn't want anything to do with me or my mom. I won't force him to stay by my side.""The problem here is what you'll tell your father. When he finds out, he'll go after Leandro.""I'll figure out what to tell him. Please, don't say anything."Endra couldn't understand what was going through his daughter's mind. Leandro had the right to know he would have a child. If she didn't tell him, she would.Leandro returned to Milan in the helicopter. They had circled the city several times, hoping to spot the vans that matched the description they had been given, but it was futile. That woman had the ability to vanish in an instant. He called Bruno at that moment."
