The next morning, Georgia woke up with pain in her back. She went to the bathroom and lifted her shirt, only to realize that she had a bruise on her right side. The blow was purple and throbbed with pain."Damn Alessandro Mascherano!" she growled, while applying cream to help alleviate the pain.This was definitely an offense that she would never forgive. While getting dressed to go to work, she made a mental note to call a locksmith to change the security locks of her building and house. If that crazy man had keys to the building, there was nothing to guarantee that he didn't also have keys to her apartment, and there was nothing more dangerous than a crazy man obsessed with chasing her and having access to her.After getting ready, Georgia went to the bus stop and waited until she caught her bus, which left her just one block from work, as always. That day, Georgia was earlier than usual. She was so worried about Doménico's health that she hadn't even bothered to eat breakfast becau
"Hello?" Georgia asked as she answered the phone."Miss Alcott, I'm calling from the employment agency. We have a new job opportunity for you."Georgia got out of bed and started pacing in the small hallway of her house. It had been about three weeks since she lost her job and the woman was about to go crazy. At that point, she was willing to accept any proposal. The food in the fridge was about to run out and her grandmother had a medical appointment for which she needed money."Tell me!" she asked excitedly."It's at the restaurant where you used to work," the girl on the other end of the phone explained.Georgia frowned "but it can't be possible, are you sure of what you're telling me?""Yes, apparently the company has changed owners and they're making a restructuring of the employees. They know your work and want to reintegrate you into the team."This seemed too strange to Georgia. Those kinds of coincidences don't happen in real life, besides, why would they sell the restaurant?
Georgia had been working for Alessandro for a little over a week, but in reality, the job had not been too complicated, Alessandro had been on a business trip for the last three days, although Georgia didn't really know what the word "Business" meant, and between Thomas's school and the soccer classes he had recently signed up for, she didn't have much to do.She didn't like to admit it, but she felt it was unfair to receive such a high salary when the work was not difficult, her duties had been based on picking up and accompanying Thomas to school, and for that she didn't even have to drive because there was a personal driver in the house who took care of taking them wherever they wanted.Georgia was living the good life, if it weren't for the fact that at some point she felt like she was imprisoned in a golden cage, then everything would have been perfect."Miss Alcott, I will go pick up the child at school, will you come with me?" the driver questioned.Of course, Georgia nodded he
"Spending just a few minutes with you is the most frustrating thing in the world, Alessandro Mascherano, now I understand why you're alone, I understand that there's no one in the world who can put up with all your pretensions, you think you're the owner of the universe" Georgia said aloud as she walked into the house.She was aware that he couldn't hear her, she knew that anyone who saw her would think she was crazy, but she didn't care, she needed to find a way to exorcise what was inside her chest because then she risked really going crazy."I wonder what kind of trauma a person must have to believe that they have absolute power over another person, you're not my owner! I'm sick of you treating me like an object that you can take and move around, sick of having to put up with you and of you not being interested in anyone but yourself" Georgia's rage was actually not just about what he was doing to her, but also about the neglect and abandonment to which he had subjected poor Thomas
Alessandro's trip was canceled, fortunately he was able to resolve his affairs faster than he thought, so just before three in the morning, he was already entering his house again, however, he was not in his five senses, as when he left, on the contrary, he was completely drunk and tired, that, not to mention the other details that he had not noticed yet about his own appearance.Upon entering the house, a feeling of guilt overwhelmed the man as he remembered everything Georgia said before, she was right to assume that he had neglected his son, it was true that he did not devote all the time the child needed or deserved.Trying to cleanse himself of his guilt, Alessandro went to his son's room, opening the door he was surprised to see Georgia's body sleeping next to Thomas, the image did not disgust him as much as it should, on the contrary, even during his drunkenness, it caused him a lot of tenderness. If she were not so desperate, she would really be the perfect woman, too bad she
"Georgia" Alessandro whispered the woman's name as he caressed her hair, intertwining his fingers in it.The man was extremely satisfied with the image he woke up to, Georgia was on top of him, sleeping peacefully on his naked chest, using him as a pillow and filling him with that perfume of hers that he liked so much but still didn't know specifically what it smelled like, he only knew it was a combination of vanilla, cinnamon and flowers. Strange, unique, very similar to what she was."Georgia" he continued to call her, just because he wanted to see the face she would make when she opened her eyes and realized that she was practically on top of him.For a couple of seconds, Alessandro had trouble remembering how the hell they ended up in that situation, at first he thought he had fucked her, after all, that was an idea that kept going around in his head lately, however, Georgia was completely dressed, and he knew that if something had really happened, there would be no possibility o
Early that morning, Alessandro went to the company where he had one of his many national offices, when he arrived, everyone greeted him with the same respect as always, inside those four walls he was the boss and everyone treated him as such. Alessandro hated disrespect and it was that, even if it were not so, his appearance was so intimidating that everyone treated him in the best way. It was no secret to anyone that it was better to have Alessandro Mascherano as a friend than as an enemy."Mr., is there anything I can help you with?" asked Catherine, who in addition to taking care of some matters at home, was also his personal secretary."Call my partner, I need to know if they got rid of the problem we had last night, as soon as he leaves here, ask the investigator to come and see me, I need to know if there are any advances in the mission I entrusted to him," he said to the woman.She nodded her head, closed the glass door and left him alone.Immediately, Alessandro began signing
"Stop tormenting me," Georgia whispered as she closed her eyes and let the hot water droplets fall over her face, wetting her neck, chest, and the rest of her body.She brought her hands to her head and pushed back her damp hair, trying to rid herself of the image of Alessandro Mascherano. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw him in her memory like a ghostly projection. Contrary to scaring her, he evoked emotions in her that were unfamiliar.Georgia was not a child, she had had many encounters with men and different types of relationships, but with Alessandro, something was different. He both terrified and provoked her equally. For Georgia, it was as if her mind told her to stay away from him because he was dangerous, but at the same time, her heart and body moved involuntarily, only to draw her closer."You're not going to think about him anymore, and that's an order," she told herself as she finished rinsing the soapy suds from her slippery body.After taking a shower and getting
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
