chapter six

The night has finally passed and the sun has risen for a new day that carries with it new beginnings and the return of life to suspended ends.

****************

She disappeared the night before, her phone was switched off, that was her habit lately, but what worried him this time was what happened before, he kept pacing his office back and forth, so he decided to call Annie, so she might know something about her.

Annie in a drowsy voice: Good morning Adam

Adam impatiently: How come Annie, how do you sleep and your girlfriend has not come home yet?!

Annie: And I didn't worry that she does this every while

Adam: How did you know that it was every time I?! Maybe this time is different?!

Annie: No, I sent the usual message, I will be away for two days, don't worry

Adam, angry: Why didn't you tell me?! I almost died of anxiety here

Annie: I thought you knew, sorry Adam, I didn't think you were so worried

Adam trying to calm himself: I was afraid for her that when she told me that she didn't come home I thought the worst

Annie: Well don't worry she will be fine, she will surely show up in the evening and you will be in a good mood

Adam: Maybe, but I don't know why she really disappeared for days, but I was not worried

Annie: We tried to know before and we didn't get anything Adam so as long as she's okay no

matter

He ended his phone call because he was thinking about Tobia's volatile condition, since about two months ago, she suddenly disappeared for two days and then came back as if nothing had happened and for now he did not know what she was doing during that time

Adam asked himself: What did you get yourself into, my little girl?

****************

She woke up determined to meet her niece, how much she had missed her for the past period. She was angry when her father punished her, and she could not know the reasons that prompted Tobia to commit this folly. Marcus could have killed her, or worse, kidnapped her to become his son's slave without anyone's knowledge, but she knows that her father's punishment was for her own good to keep her away from Marcus and his son's hands, so she got ready and headed to Tobia's restaurant to get the answers.

*******************

A clinic characterized by sophistication, despite the simplicity of its design, its ivory walls mixed with glass walls, reflecting the green spaces surrounding the building, giving a sense of calm in one of the rooms, in the middle of which is a glass desk with metal legs designed with lightning and a chaise longue lined with velvet. The brunette seductress, wearing her glasses and staring at one of the books, interrupted her seclusion by a knock on the room's door, followed by the entry of her only son, greeting him with his usual smile.

Philip: Good morning, babe

Charlotte: Good morning, how are you?

Philip: Fine. I came to invite you to lunch with me. What do you think?!

Charlotte: Honey, I can't do that. I have a meeting with a very important patient, son

Philip was surprised: When? in the lunch time?!

Charlotte: Yes, he never shows up for clinic appointments

Philip: Why?!

Charlotte: An important figure, and I finally convinced him to come here. I have been treating him for months through one of his friends. Finally, he was convinced of the need to come to receive treatment directly, so I cannot sacrifice that progress.

Philip sighed: Well, Mom, how about dinner?!

Charlotte, okay son, I'll be free for you

His mother's work as a psychiatrist was always a priority, especially after he separated from her and lived alone, so she became preoccupied with her patients, hoping to make up for the void he left by herself.

***************

Loud movement in the lobby of one of the huge hotels indicates the presence of an important figure, as the reception hall was filled with a large number of guards, who were followed by a man in the fifty-fifth year, although his true age did not appear.

Is Stephen here yet?!

Man: Not yet, sir. He will be here in an hour

Well, tell him when he comes to go to my wing first

Man: Thank you, Mr. Marcus

Marcos Bennini or the sadist is the fiercest mafia boss in America, no one dares to challenge him, and it only happened once, a young girl did it and insulted him by rejecting his son in public, and if it wasn't for her father's position and his son's keenness to receive her punishment at the hands of her father, she would have been an example for everyone, but he was satisfied with seeing her deprived of her luxurious life and living like a girl Striving to work to live

*******************

Tension almost swept her body when she learned of his presence early on the date of the wedding, as she wished that he would come directly to attend the wedding, so that he would not be able to meet Tobia, as she did not know that she was in New York, and now she is almost dying of anxiety for her.

She felt her distress when she entered her room and thought that what she had said yesterday had paid off, but she was not happy with that, as she is in the habit of committing foolishness and returning to regret it.

Laura nervously: Vera, are you okay?

Vera carelessly: What do you think?!

Laura: I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt

Vera nervously: Really?! Oh my God Laura, when will you stop what you're doing, we are not your enemies

Laura Bendam: Believe me, I know, but sometimes I have difficulty controlling my behavior, especially when I am jealous.

Vera sighed: Laura, listen, you should stop thinking like that, believe me, you don't hurt anyone but yourself.

Laura: I know

Vera: Generally we will talk later, my mind is busy right now

She approached her, afraid that it might cause a problem between her and Frank

Laura: Did something happen between you and Frank?!

Vera : No, it's not Frank, it's Marcos

Laura Towering: Sadist What's Up?!

Vera: He and his son Stefan came today

She realized the reason for her cousin's fear, as she is worried about Tobia

Laura sarcastically: So you're afraid for Tobia?! Don't worry, this is what she made to herself

Vera exasperated: You will never change, Laura

She left her and left, as she has no patience for her cousin's stupidity and blamed herself, how did she listen to her before?!

She regretted what she said, knowing that the damned Marcus, if he saw Tobia in this state, would turn her life into hell. It is enough that he would not hesitate to insult her without anyone objecting to him. Someone injured her

******************

In the evening Tobia was sitting with her eyes closed, playing a sad melody on the piano in the restaurant as if she was playing feelings that occupied herself and her soul, so she sat and transmitted that sadness to the fingers of the piano, so she drew a wonderful picture of that sadness with harmonious musical notes that everyone who heard it felt

So she is back?!

Adam asked Annie who was looking at her friend sadly

Annie in a low voice: yes

Adam: As usual, when she comes back from her disappearance, she will play the whole night, right?!

Annie: I don't think she didn't distract the pianist, but she asked him for permission to play for only two hours

Adam: Well, get ready, I have more than one important reservation for tonight

Annie: I'm ready, Adam, I'll do her work until she is ready

Annie left him and went to her work. How happy he was as Tobia has a friend, like Annie, for they support each other despite their young age, but they painted a wonderful picture of steadfastness without being eaten up by life's difficulties. Not only lack of money can destroy the individual, but the lack of interest and the absence of a bond on which to base it.

He will not forget his meeting with Mark yesterday when he came to his office to be surprised by that visit

flash back

Mark quietly: So Adam?!

Adam sarcastically: So Mark?!

Mark: You were the one who encouraged her to do what she did, wasn't it?!

Adam: Maybe, I guess it doesn't matter to you since you've been discharged from her

Mark: Marcus could have killed her

Adam concludes: No, he would not have done without your permission

Mark, shocked: And do you think I would have given him the order?!

Adam shrugged: Maybe you did it before, or did you forget Emilia?!

Mark : But I wasn't the cause of Amelia's death

Adam excitedly: You were the reason for her death, and you were the reason to keep her away from me, Mark, and I will not leave Tobia, she is mine now.

Mark: You will not take my daughter from me, Adam. I will not allow you

Adam: I left it before and I won't let it come back to you again, believe me

Adam woke up from his wandering to mutter to himself: I will not leave you Tobia, as I left Amelia

*******************

The whole restaurant was full, all its tables were booked, and a dim light was reflected on the piano, where she played .

He caught his eye that she was not there and turned around to see her

Charlotte: Why are you so upset,Philip?!

Philip: Nothing, I just wanted to show you the girl I told you about before

Charlotte trying to remember: What girl?!

Philip: Sister of Frank's fiancée, Tobias

Charlotte maliciously: So you came to see her, not to invite me to dinner?!

Flip, embarrassed: Of course not, Mom. I just wanted you to see her. Oh

He did not find anything to say or justify his mother, that is not his habit, he does not even feel that he is attracted to her

Charlotte, lovingly putting his palm between hers: Don't justify my son, how happy I would be to see my son take an interest in one of them.

Philip: Mom, it's not like that

Charlotte with a sweet smile: Well, I'll wait to see how it goes

He made sure that she was not there, so he stopped looking with his eyes, but he noticed his mother's looks related to a fixed place and signs of astonishment appeared on her face.

Philip stuttered, as close to a whisper: Tobias

She furrowed her eyebrows, not understanding: What, Flip?

Flip without turning away: Tobias my mother, there she is playing

Charlotte: Tobias?!

Philip: Do you know her before?!

Charlotte: why do  you say that?!

Flip explaining: I saw you looking at her closely

Charlotte: Never, but I was attracted by the sad melody that she plays, and I was moved by it no more

Philip: Indeed, she looks sad, and whispered, "Sad angel."

*******************

She stopped playing, finished the melody and moved away from the piano amid the applause of some of the restaurant's goers, but she didn't care about that and went to a table next to one of the walls and took the notebook in which the orders were recorded and started her work with her usual smile

look who is here?

The blood froze in her veins, as she knows who the owner of this voice is, which represents the most terrible nightmare she could dream of.
