"I'm doing something that both you and I have wanted for a long time," Alessandro declared, completely anxious."That machine is going to drive me crazy," Georgia was torn between the annoyance produced by that sound and the excitement of the moment she was experiencing with Alessandro.But without a doubt, the prevailing feeling was one of excitement and emotion because at that moment, she had no doubts about him or what she felt. Right there, the woman was only filled with certainties and hopes. If after all this time they hadn't been able to separate even despite their constant rejections, it meant they belonged together, side by side."But I don't want to do anything without your permission," he said, amused by that tender and playful attitude of the woman. "That has gone very wrong for me in the past," he assured.Georgia rolled her eyes, understanding the game he was trying to play, but this time, she was also willing to play."I think you'll have to take a risk then," the woman
Although Valery was extremely happy about the news she had just heard, she couldn't help but think about what it meant and, above all, what it had entailed in the past. Certainly, Valery didn't want to see her best friend suffer again, much less feel miserable, because even though Georgia wasn't aware of it, she would have that baby very soon, and then she would have to worry not only about herself but also about the little one who would depend entirely on her care."Sweetie, I'm the happiest with what you just told me, and I don't want to be a party pooper, but are you sure about what you're telling me?" Valery questioned, nervously biting her nails.Georgia wasn't bothered by that question; on the contrary, the first thing she thought about was how much she loved Valery, who was always concerned about her well-being above anything else."I understand your doubts, believe me, I have them too. But Valery, I've been miserable for a long time, and I don't want to be anymore. I think Ale
"What?" the woman asked, stunned by what she was hearing. For a few seconds, she even felt that it was nothing more than a product of her imagination and dreams."As you heard, Miss Alcott, your father has just come out of the coma. We need you to come to the hospital to authorize some additional medical procedures," the man said over the phone.Tears filled Georgia's eyes as she tried to sit up in bed."Of course, I'll be there as soon as possible," she affirmed, hanging up the phone.For a few seconds, Georgia was dumbfounded. She was overjoyed by the news and also relieved. Right at that moment, all she wanted to do was run into her father's arms and hold him tightly."Alessandro!" she shook the man beside her to wake him up.Alessandro didn't take long to wake up."What's going on?" he questioned."My father has woken up. We have to go to the hospital to see him," the woman smiled.The man opened his eyes in surprise and without thinking too much, he got up and prepared everything
One month after the accident, Jeremy was doing great, enjoying his time with his daughter and Alessandro in the Mascherano mansion, where Thomas had also returned after his boarding school."I like it when you're here for so long, Georgia," the boy affectionately said, hugging the woman who had been living there all that time. "I also like Jeremy, but sometimes he's too bossy," he complained, causing Georgia to burst into laughter at the situation.That afternoon, they were all spending time together, as they had become accustomed to. Lately, Alessandro was spending more time at home. Georgia was in the final months of her pregnancy, and he didn't want to miss a moment of it for anything in the world. So, he took the opportunity to be by her side. He had also distanced himself a bit from the mafia business, especially because he knew it wasn't pleasant for Georgia. He certainly didn't want to do anything that would bother her or make her reconsider their relationship."How are you fee
Georgia didn't understand anything that was happening. She was being blindly led to a beautiful restaurant where Alessandro had rented a VIP lounge exclusively for him, Georgia, and their closest loved ones to share this moment that would be so important in their lives."Where are you taking me?" she questioned, with a smile on her lips."Stop being so anxious, woman!" Alessandro scolded her."I'll tell you where we are!" Thomas squealed."You don't speak, kid," Jeremy covered the boy's mouth with his hand.Amidst laughter and playfulness, the four of them arrived at the lounge where Valery and her boyfriend were already waiting for the rest of the people.Only when they were there did Alessandro remove the blindfold from Georgia, who was dazzled by what her eyes beheld. The golden light of the sunset filtered through the large windows, casting warm and soft tones in the room."Valery!" Georgia exclaimed, going to greet her friend and her companion, who embraced her with enthusiasm an
Quickly, everyone in that small room went to where Jeremy was, holding his daughter in his arms to prevent her from collapsing to the ground due to the pain."Georgia, love, let's go!" Alessandro grabbed her hand, giving her the strength, she needed in that moment."It hurts a lot," Georgia complained."How many months along are you, Georgia?" Valery asked, mentally calculating to determine how likely it was for Georgia to be experiencing labor pains."Almost eight months, I can't give birth yet," she said, concerned that her baby would be premature.None of the other people said anything about it, but they all knew it was very likely that she was indeed about to give birth to her child. That only increased the urgency to take her to the hospital."You two go in Alessandro's car," Valery said to Jeremy and Alessandro. "We'll go in my car and take Thomas with us," she asserted.No one objected or protested the plan; they simply followed Valery's instructions and headed to the hospital,
"What does that mean?" Georgia asked, halfway sedated by all the emotions and the epidural they had administered earlier.No one responded to the woman, and it was precisely that silence that drove her crazy."Alessandro, tell me what's happening?"Georgia tried to see, but all she could clearly observe were the nurses moving back and forth. Meanwhile, Alessandro, who was also stunned by the situation, couldn't provide an answer either; he simply remained absorbed in the scene unfolding before him.He saw the baby, motionless. He saw the doctors trying to resuscitate it, and he experienced those seconds in slow motion, almost as if he were serving a sentence.While the doctors did everything possible to save the baby's life, Alessandro's mind traveled back to the past. To that time when he stood outside a hospital room just like the one, he was in now, watching through the glass as doctors fought to save Thomas's mother, who lay on a hospital bed.Alessandro knew the situations were d
After having the necessary rest in the hospital, the time had come for Georgia to return to the home that Alessandro had taken care to make as comfortable as possible for her.So there was Georgia, walking slowly through the doorway, feeling the gentle touch of familiar air on her face. At first glance, the place remained the same. That mansion she had known for so long. However, for some reason, in that moment, everything seemed even more beautiful than it already was, causing a timid smile to grace her tired lips.After giving birth in a complicated delivery, she was finally coming home, although without her precious baby, who still needed special care at the hospital for a couple more weeks.With that lovely feeling in her chest, Georgia's eyes roamed every corner of the living room, and a sense of calm and happiness seized her heart when she realized what detail made everything feel so different. On some of the tables in the house, there were pictures of the baby.Those photos wer
Alessandro lay in the oppressive darkness of the basement, a prisoner of the enemy criminal organization that had sworn his destruction. Every passing second felt like an eternity of suffering, especially because the place was a perfect image of horror—an abandoned dungeon where dampness and mold clung to the walls as silent witnesses of his misfortune, much like the shackles on his wrists and ankles that bit into his skin, marking his body as a constant reminder of his helplessness.The stale air infiltrated his lungs as the cold intertwined with his bones. A single light bulb hung from the ceiling, casting a faint light that barely managed to illuminate the sordid space. Alessandro could hear the distant sounds of the city outside that hellish place, a cruel irony that reminded him of how close he was to freedom and how far it seemed at the same time.That night, Domenico, his declared enemy, entered the basement with a ruthless smile on his face. He knew he had Alessandro exactly w
The sun rose majestically over the horizon as Georgia observed the landscape from the airplane window. Her heart was pounding in her chest as the plane descended towards the airport of her hometown. She was finally coming back home, although it wasn't entirely positive. It wasn't a return to enjoy the golden beaches or the tropical climate. It was a return filled with uncertainty and, ironically, hope at the same time.Georgia looked at her children, Eva, who was peacefully asleep in her arms, and Thomas, who was happily playing, searching for shapes in the clouds. Their eyes shone with excitement for the journey and adventure that awaited them. Amidst it all, they also longed for a reunion with their father, Alessandro, who had mysteriously disappeared.The plane landed smoothly, and Georgia felt a surge of emotion coursing through her body. She held Eva in her arms and took Thomas' hand as they made their way towards the exit, which was crowded with people. But Georgia remained focu
Georgia was completely torn apart. She felt nauseous, and the world was shifting beneath her feet. This couldn't be true. The love of her life couldn't be in danger. After everything they had gone through to finally be together, life couldn't be so unfair as to separate them, especially with a baby on the way.When Georgia thought about Eva, her heart squeezed even tighter. If something happened to Alessandro, the baby wouldn't have the chance to know him or enjoy everything he could offer as a father. Alessandro was a wonderful man who loved his daughter. Destiny couldn't deny him the opportunity to see her grow and be there for every stage of Eva's life. And then there was Thomas, who had barely begun to enjoy having his father around.After hanging up with her father, Georgia needed someone to talk to about it. Since her father didn't answer, she called her best friend Valery to help clear her head."You need to calm down, Georgia," said Valery, feeling powerless being so far away.
That afternoon, Georgia wasn't feeling well. Her heart hadn't stopped racing, and she was starting to experience arrhythmia. But that was the least of her worries. Instead, she couldn't stop thinking about Alessandro. Georgia even tried to find distractions in other places, like taking Thomas to the beach, but nothing seemed to be enough. She felt trapped in that hotel room where she couldn't stop seeing the ghost of her husband.With that lingering premonition, Georgia picked up her phone to check if she had any messages or calls from Alessandro. But there was nothing. It was as if he had literally vanished from the face of the earth. Georgia wasn't going to settle for that simple absence and vague note, so she took the initiative to call him once again.As the call went to voicemail, she let out a sigh and went to tend to the baby, who started crying."It's alright, little Eva. Mommy is here with you," Georgia held Eva and rocked her around the room. That day, even Eva seemed more r
After his plane had landed back in the city, Alessandro immediately headed to the Black Temple facilities, where everyone eagerly awaited their leader. Despite the decision for Black Temple to launch the first attack under Jeremy's leadership, Alessandro had second thoughts and refused that possibility. He wanted to be the one to deliver the final blow, and something told him it would happen exactly on that day."How is Georgia?" Jeremy asked directly, without beating around the bush, as soon as he saw his neuro enter through the building's doors.Alessandro felt a lump in his throat before responding. His dark eyes reflected a mixture of determination and concern. "She's fine," he stated confidently. "I've taken all necessary precautions to keep her safe.""And the baby?" the man questioned."The baby is with Georgia, which means she's fine," Alessandro replied, trying not to dwell on the family he had left behind on their honeymoon.Jeremy nodded, but his expression remained skeptic
Gloomy and sinister, the meeting room of the Black Temple was a refuge for shadows. Jeremy, the patriarch and leader appointed by Alessandro, sat at the head of the table, observing each member of the organization with cold eyes. Silence hung in the air, only interrupted by the whisper of darkness."Tomorrow is the day," Jeremy announced with a deep and authoritative voice. "It is our responsibility to ensure that the enemy camp will be unprotected and weakened when Alessandro arrives. Our opportunity to eliminate them once and for all."The eyes of those present lit up with a mixture of excitement and determination. They knew it was a risky mission, but they trusted Jeremy's strategic ability and leadership. Of course, not everyone was happy with his appointment, but after suffering so many casualties, the desire for revenge outweighed the urge to question the boss's decisions.Jeremy distributed photographs of the enemy leaders and detailed maps of the camp. Each member of the organ
The interior of the plane filled with anticipation and excitement as Alessandro and Georgia settled into their seats, looking at each other with love and complicity. Beside them, little Eva slept peacefully in her mother's arms, while Thomas played with his cellphone in one of the airplane seats.Georgia looked at her daughter and then at Alessandro, her eyes shining with happiness and gratitude. She couldn't believe they were finally flying to Hawaii, their dream honeymoon destination. She felt a wave of love and joy as she shared this special moment with her husband and daughter, knowing they were creating memories to cherish forever."I can't believe you remembered that I told you how much I wished to go to Hawaii," Georgia said, surprised when her husband revealed their honeymoon location."I always listen to you, darling, even when you thought I wasn't," Alessandro smiled. However, behind that seemingly cheerful gesture, he concealed the worry weighing on his chest, knowing that
Weeks after Alessandro and Georgia's little daughter had been discharged from the hospital, the couple's wedding took place. They were eager and in a hurry to culminate with that final ceremony that would show the world how much they loved each other.So there they were, finishing dressing up and putting on makeup to attend the event that made them so happy."You're the most beautiful bride in the world," Valery sighed, looking at her friend who was touching up her lipstick in front of the mirror."Thank you, I hope that someday I can say the same about you," Georgia glanced quickly at Valery, who blushed immediately. "I've seen your boyfriend so happy with you that I have no doubt he'll put the ring on your finger."Valery squealed with excitement. For the first time in a long time, the idea of getting married didn't seem entirely unpleasant to her. On the contrary, she was excited and thrilled by the possibility of sharing her life with the man she was so in love with."It was a bea
After leaving the police station, Alessandro quickly headed home. But before that, he returned to the central hospital to make sure once again that his little baby was fine. He also informed the doctors and administrators that there would be bodyguards watching over the maternity ward. Alessandro didn't want to leave his daughter's safety to chance, and considering the events of the previous evening, the administrators accepted his proposal. Therefore, the pavilion was completely guarded by members of the Black Temple.However, that wasn't enough for Alessandro. He needed much more than just that. In order to set his plan in motion, he arrived at the Mascherano mansion, where Georgia was already awake, waiting for him with a cup of coffee in her hand."Darling!" she greeted him as he walked through the door. "Where did you go so early?" she asked."I had some work to take care of, and I also went to visit the baby," he confessed.Georgia's expression twisted on her face. She knew exac
