Quickly, with Valery's help, Georgia was taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, Bianca was so weak that she couldn't accompany them, so Valery took care of everything. The girl was deeply concerned for her friend, afraid that she was under so much pressure that her body was manifesting it in this way.Georgia's health was worrying, especially because she didn't take it too seriously. The fact that she had to take care of her grandmother and her many other problems made her forget about herself and put herself in the background."Does she have any family with her?" asked the nurse."Her parents are dead, the only close relative she has is her grandmother, but she is an older woman and couldn't come with us, so she only has me," said ValeryThe nurse thought about it for a few seconds, but decided to give her the information."We will do some medical tests and as soon as we have the results, we will let you know," she said."But do you think she'll be okay?""Yes, it seems like it was ju
"You look a bit pale, darling. Don't you want a strong coffee?" proposed Grandmother Bianca, looking at her granddaughter with concern, who didn't have a good complexion."I'm fine, Grandma," she asserted, while Valery gave her a quick look from the kitchen.After leaving the hospital, Georgia preferred not to tell her grandmother anything yet. She still didn't know what she would do with the baby, and the truth was, she preferred to make that decision without anyone else's opinion. Georgia knew Bianca well enough to know that she was a traditional person who wouldn't accept any other alternative besides having the baby, and she wasn't sure that was what she wanted to do."Liar," Valery whispered in Georgia's ear.Georgia gave her a look of hatred. Valery kept insisting that she should tell the truth not only to her grandmother but also to Alessandro, but Georgia remained steadfast in her decision to handle the matter her way."I'm missing a few things for this week's meals, I think I
Early that morning, Valery left for work and Georgia and grandmother Bianca stayed in the apartment. As usual, Georgia was circling job ads she could apply to. There weren't many opportunities for a girl without education, but Georgia wasn't going to give up until she found something decent to make a living. While she made some calls, the doorbell rang. Confused, Georgia got up to answer it. She wasn't expecting anyone, let alone the person who had just arrived.There at the door was little Thomas, with his ear-to-ear smile, looking at her with those innocent eyes Georgia couldn't resist."Thomas! What are you doing here?" she asked as the boy hugged her tightly.She stroked his hair."My father sent a letter explaining everything," the little boy said, walking into the apartment as if it were nothing, taking his school bag off his shoulder and going to sit on the sofa.It was clear that despite the fact that the apartment was not the grand mansion he lived in, Thomas was quite happy
"I need you to gather any information you have about the death of Georgia Alcott's parents. It's the only way we'll understand why she's so important to the terrorists. Something tells me it's not just about hurting me, if it were, they would have gone after my son. But since she appeared on the radar, she's stolen all the attention. I need to know why. In addition to that, I need to know if there are still any members of the Black Temple who participated in the murder of her parents," Alessandro told his most trusted men.The man needed to finish putting together the puzzle in his mind. He needed the pieces to be in order and make sense, because there were definitely some things that, to him, no longer made sense. But beyond organizing the information in his head, Alessandro needed to find something that would make him seem less guilty, to see if that would win him Georgia's love and trust again. He needed to get her back, now more than ever."Get everything you can. The first one to
Alessandro sat back down and asked his employee to sit across from him so that he could comfortably give him all the information."What did you find?" he asked, genuinely interested."Sir, it's highly likely that Miss Georgia Alcott's father is not dead," the employee said.Alessandro's heart stopped. What the man was saying made no sense. He himself had visited the man's grave on one occasion when guilt wouldn't let him rest in peace. Georgia grew up without her father, there was no way he was alive."Where did you get that from?" he asked angrily, thinking that his employee was giving him this information just to get the reward he had promised them."I have a contact, an undercover investigator who has been involved in many mafia groups. He's a respected man who knows everything that goes on around him. Please, boss, don't ask me to tell you who he is, because his job depends on his confidentiality. However, I dare to bet my life on him. We can be one hundred percent sure that what
"Georgia, darling, can I talk to you for a moment?" asked Valery, who was a bit nervous.Georgia looked at her friend suspiciously, it wasn't like her to behave so timidly and respectfully."Of course, what's going on?" the girl asked."I know I haven't told you much about my love life lately, but everything is going great for me. I'm dating an amazing man who I really love," Valery said."Don't tell me you're in love!" Georgia exclaimed, surprised that a man had managed to melt the ice that covered her best friend's heart."I don't know if it's love yet, but I'm willing to find out," she said. "I really like this man, Georgia, and that's why I want to talk to you.""Is he seeking my blessing?" Georgia mocked."No, the thing is, this man asked me to move in with him a few weeks ago, but I didn't want to leave you alone. I know the last few months have been very difficult for you, and I didn't feel comfortable leaving you," Valery explained."Oh, honey!" Georgia felt touched by her fri
Back at home, Georgia couldn't help but cry. She felt extremely sad about everything that was happening, about not being able to be honest with Alessandro about her pregnancy, but above all, she was sad because despite everything, she didn't know how to handle those feelings she had hidden for him. It was like a rollercoaster of emotions that had her on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She loved him despite everything that had happened, but at the same time she knew that distancing herself from him was the best thing she could do. That contradiction was taking a toll on her mind and, above all, making it increasingly difficult to make a decision regarding the baby.On the one hand, Georgia knew that deep down Alessandro was a man of good feelings. After all, he had dedicated himself to taking care of his best friend's son as if he were his own, not everyone was capable of doing that, but on the other hand, she knew that Alessandro's life was full of dangers, she herself had to live t
"How's it going in the new house? Are you adapting well?" Domenico asked, with whom Georgia was talking on the phone.Lately, the man had been calling her constantly to ask how she was doing. Domenico had become a great support for Georgia, who was starting to get used to his presence and all the good things he offered. Domenico had always been a good person, unfortunately, he got caught up with a woman who was herself a victim not only of her past but also of her parents'."I'm doing great. Grandma feels comfortable being in her old space, and I've been adapting. I still don't like this neighborhood very much, but it's all a matter of perspective," she said, trying to see the bright side of the situation."I'm glad to hear you so calm, but there's something I want to know. Are you happy where you are?"She hesitated for a few seconds."Happiness is no longer a priority in my life. I just want to be at peace, I guess that's another way of being happy," she said, with a slightly sad vo
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
