10 years later:-How was your day, my angel? Damon asks, sitting next to me on the couch. I'm so tired. Since I opened my own marketing firm, I've focused all my efforts on it, to the point where I couldn't even spend much time with my family. Luckily, Damon came up with the idea of bringing a nanny into the house to take care of our three children. Hades is already 10 years old and, along with Ares, who is 7, they are a handful. I wanted to stop at the second child, but Damon convinced me to have another one, and I didn't regret it. I was thrilled that it was a girl because I wouldn't be surrounded only by men in this house, but at the same time, I felt sorry for her because I don't know how the three males will react when she gets her first boyfriend. Hope is 5 years old, and she often stays with Sindy and James's daughter, Deborah. Hope and Deborah were born a few weeks apart and have been inseparable since then. In my heart, I hope they remain best friends like Sindy and I.

Hades Black. Will she be able to escape from him?I will leave you with a few scenes featuring Hades and Amalia:-Are you afraid of me? he asks expressionlessly.-Please, let me go or kill me!

Hades-Father, understand that I can't come to dinner tonight!-Not a word! -Old man, understand that this is an important shipment! I can't afford to miss it.-Damn it! I don't care anymore, and I don't want to hear anything, he shouted at me, ending the call.And that was my conversation with Dad this morning. He and Uncle James always insisted on having a family dinner at least once a month. James and his wife are part of our family, being very close friends with my parents. I knew I had no choice but to be present at this dinner. Mom isn't allowed to stress because she has heart problems since my grandfather died, and I'm very aware that if I hadn't gone to this dinner, she would have likely stressed out, knowing what I'm involved in. I love my family, but I wanted to handle this shipment myself because it's going to be delivered to my Russian friend, Aleksei. He is the leader of the Russian mafia but also one of the most trustworthy men I know.When I enter the house, I'm g
This is my first day off, and I preferred to spend it in the countryside, far from traffic, pollution, and many other disadvantages of the city of Rome. Working as a secretary is very hard to take a vacation, but it seems that I succeeded. I woke up around 10 o'clock and went downstairs to have breakfast alone because my brother was at work. He was a doctor at the emergency room in a town located 12 km away from the village, and today he was on duty. From the note left by my father on the refrigerator, I understood that he went with my grandmother to visit some relatives, and they would return in the evening. Great! They keep telling me that we should spend time together as a family, and then they disappear from home. Getting bored to death at home, I decided to take a walk. I like to walk when I'm in the countryside; people are very sociable compared to the cold people in the city. Suddenly, it starts to drizzle. How strange. It was so beautiful outside. I was about 15 minute
Towards the end of my "sweet dream," which most likely will be the source through which I will end up in a brothel or even worse, in organ trafficking, I could hear and feel everything, only I couldn't move. I felt as though I had been administered an anesthetic or drugs. I hear the front and rear doors of the car open and close, then the one on my side opens. I feel myself being pulled into someone's arms. I try to open my eyes, which, due to the substances injected into my body, seem like a huge effort, and just before I manage to, I fall asleep again. I grope with my hand the space I am placed on and realize it's a bed. I try to open my eyes again, and this time I succeed, but they feel very dry as if they were filled with sand. I blink a little and notice that my mouth is dry too. I feel as though all my senses are parched.-I think you have a very dry mouth; a glass of water would help you,I startle at the sound of the voice, which, if we were in a different situation, I
I don't know what to believe. I don't know what to do. What if the psychopath in front of me is right and I'm really in danger? Maybe those who are after me have already found my family?-But my family? Will they be in danger?-Are you serious right now? he asks me as if I had asked him "how's the weather outside.-Yes, do you think I'm joking about this?-I don't know, he says, taking his place again in the armchair next to the bed.-Then let me leave. I can't let anything happen to my family because of me.-Sweetheart, stay in bed and don't make me angry more than I already am, he tells me through gritted teeth.-I don't understand why you don't understand me. I want my family to be safe.-If I let you leave, you'll be killed at best. You're the one who doesn't understand me.-I know, but at least that way, those people won't be after my family anymore.-But you'll die or worse.-And why do you care? Just let me go, please, I say with tears in my eyes.-I won't do that, but if i
-So tell me, what scared you so much about me, but I want you to look into my eyes when you say it, he says, lifting my chin.-I know who you are, I say stuttering, unable to find a way out.-Who am I, he asks, managing to press himself against my chest with a single step towards me.-I don't think I need to clarify that for you, I respond, taking a step back. I startle when my back hits the wall.-But I actually do, he says, giving me a look that makes my heart skip a beat. He takes another step, and as he leans his hand against the wall, I realize I've walked into the wolf's trap.-Damon Black, I say with trembling voice. He presses his lips against my earlobe. He doesn't say anything, I just hear his breath that sends shivers down my spine.-What do you want from me, I say pushing him away from me, but I still managed to keep him a few centimeters away.-Hmm, he says seeming to think. Everything, he says grinning like a little child.-What, I ask totally bewildered.-What don't you
-Demon, I'm too exhausted to have this conversation with you, I say, trying to get out of it, but I don't seem to be able to control myself in front of him.-I don't think it's just that, he says, smiling cunningly.-Believe what you want! I push him in such a way as to create a clear path to the bed. I throw myself into the middle of the gigantic bed and bury myself under the blanket.-Move over, he orders, pulling my blanket.-No, no, you're not sleeping in this bed. I'm pretty sure you have plenty of rooms where you can sleep.-This is my room, he says, getting into bed beside me, under the blanket.-Then I'll leave and find another one, I say, trying to get up from bed, but I'm pulled back into his chest.-You're not going anywhere, he says, turning off the lights in the room with a remote control. After the heated discussion with Demon, I couldn't sleep anymore, even though I tried. This guy doesn't inspire any trust in me, but he makes me feel safe. Maybe I'm crazy to say thi

I don't know when I've ever been more emotional in my life than the second I heard "yes" from her. She agreed to be mine. She agreed for me to be hers, and now we have to deal with what lies ahead. The wedding preparations are moving quickly, mainly because I agreed for the wedding to be in two weeks. Well, I wanted it to be the day after she accepted the proposal, but she insisted on at least giving her two weeks for the preparations, and as always, I yielded. Fortunately, only a few days are left now, and it will be over.-You don't need to get too involved, I know you have a lot of work, especially since you opened the new club.-I don't want to hear it. I really want to be involved in this wedding. Because I know I won't be involved in our kids' weddings.-One child isn't enough for you, she asks, laughing. Ah, how I adore her smile, especially when I know it's meant for me. I can't help but kiss her at least once when it appears on her face.-I want as many as possible
-So, little blonde, should I forgive you for not telling me about the blonde?-Well, Eli, I really wanted to tell you. But it happened a long time ago.-Tell me everything, I say nervously.-Well, two months ago, I met a guy on a dating app. He started to become insistent, so I turned him down. Then he left. And we didn't see each other again. Until one day he waited for me to leave work, and, she says hesitantly as if reliving everything that happened. He slapped me, then he tried to lift me, but then James showed up and beat him so badly that I don't think he looks the same anymore. Then I looked into his eyes and fell in love on the spot, then we spent a night together, she says smiling.-So, what about the date you mentioned?-Oh, that one, she says trying to seem embarrassed.-I went on a date with a guy because I wanted to make him jealous. Then he showed up at our table, hugged me, and ran away with me. I roll my eyes at her. What a little fox! I think the blonde will go cra
From Damon’s perspective: After a few days since the incident, Eleanor still speaks hesitantly. Hesitant might be an overstatement. She only speaks when I address her, and I feel desperate. Why doesn't she yell at me? I want to hear that sinful mouth of hers nagging at me all day, and then I punish her as I know best.-Sir, dinner is ready! Would you like dinner to be served in the office?-No, Agatha. I'll come down. Please, inform Eleanor as well.-I've already been to Miss Eleanor, sir, but she asked me to bring dinner to her room.-That won't be necessary. Miss Eleanor will come down.-Understood. Does this little brat want to get on my nerves or what? I traverse the path to her room in a few seconds. If she wants us to play, then we'll play. I slam the door of our bedroom against the wall, and she startles, fixing her eyes on me.-Is this how it's going to be? she asks bewilderedly.-What do you mean?-Look, I understand that the recent event has affected you, but I don'
The images of the building where I worked for so many years burning down flash before me as Veronica runs with me, hand in hand, as far away from this place as possible. We turn left onto a side street, and Veronica stops to catch her breath.-What happened? Veronica's expression becomes impassive. She examines me as if to make sure I'm okay, then positions herself to my right.-Miss Eleanor! I watched the surveillance cameras and saw a suspicious man with a gun. I knew something was going to happen. So, I got you out of there to protect you. Mr. Black will tell you more!-How? How do you know Damon? And how did you have access to the company's surveillance cameras?-I'll wait with you until the car comes to pick you up. She turns as if on cue and scans the area without answering my question. Her attitude raises questions. Just half an hour ago, we were joking in the office, and now she treats me as if she doesn't know me. My thoughts are drowned out by the sound of the
In the second week since I returned to the company, the company owner promoted me to the position of CEO, but not because of my merits, but because I am the only one he trusts after Alberto moved to the competition. Well, I can also say it's because I brought in many investors to the company. Honestly, I don't know whether to complain about it or not, but what's certain is that I have fallen far behind. I have a lot of projects to analyze, and I have two important meetings to prepare for.-Miss Eleanor, I startle, looking at my assistant. "Excuse me, I knocked, but you didn't hear me.-It's okay, Veronica! Did something happen?-Mr. Black called, he said he wants you to call him urgently. I wanted to connect you through the landline, but you were on another call.-I'll call him as soon as I can! Any news about next week's meeting?-No. Nothing has changed yet, but knowing Mr. Smith, it will surely take place this week.-Oh, goodness, this man doesn't know how to announce thin
From Elenor’s perspective:-Are you ready? Did you get everything? Sindy stands up from the couch to greet me, but when she sees I don't have any luggage in my hands, she looks at me, silently asking, "What's going on? -Well... Sindy, I changed my mind!-What? But you sounded so determined on the phone. Eli, did this man do something to you? -What could he possibly do? I startle as I hear Damon's voice, turning my whole body towards him.-You heard right, don't make me repeat it, she yells at Damon.-Sindy, it's not like that at all... -Eli, come with me! There's no question of you staying here anymore. You have me.-It's not your decision, miss! My beloved can make decisions without you imposing them. Plus, I won't let her leave this house without me. -She's my friend! -And my beloved," he says, wrapping his arm around my waist.-Sindy, everything is fine. We've sorted everything out. We had a discussion a few minutes ago and clarified everything. I was very nervous, and that's wh
