Chapter 1 - The Matrimonial AgreementIn an elegant summer salon of Brenda Harper's modest home, Giovanni Romano sat across from her, determined.Brenda, with her bold and resolute gaze, watched him, trying to hide her surprise at seeing Giovanni after so many years.He was no longer the awkward boy with black hair and a cold gray gaze she remembered, but a man with a demeanor that gave him an unmatched allure."Well, Brenda. Are you sure you want to do this?" Giovanni spoke first, attempting to break the ice."Yes, I'm sure," she replied, maintaining a firm tone. She wasn't going to show him her doubts or her fear of failure. Not to him.She had been searching for work all week without success, feeling suffocated by her parents' overprotection.That's not to mention their desire for her to marry at a young age to any old fat, wealthy man."Alright, let's begin then."Giovanni looked... quite good. He was an attractive and young man, willing to enter into a quick marriage just to clim

Chapter 2 - The WeddingWhen they disembarked from the plane at Turin airport, only Giovanni's mother was there. She excused her son, saying he had to carry out some last-minute preparations, and accompanied them to the hotel, leaving them there and giving them directions to the courthouse.After lunch, Brenda's mother insisted she go to the hotel's salon and start getting ready early, but she refused. She decided to do her hair herself as usual and put on the simple white dress she had bought, rejecting the ostentatious wedding dress desired by her ambitious parents.After taking a taxi, they headed to the courthouse.Brenda got out of the vehicle and began to answer greetings from people she didn't know, elegant and refined people who had her parents ecstatic and herself on the verge of vomiting.She felt watched and scrutinized by all the eyes present, putting her in a bad mood, but after several minutes, she didn't see Giovanni anywhere.Suddenly, the sound of a motorcycle revve

Chapter 3: Living TogetherBrenda looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, nervously adjusting the simple dress she had worn for their fake wedding. Although she knew this marriage was just a temporary arrangement, she couldn't help feeling anxious about what awaited her at Giovanni's house.Finally, she gathered her courage and stepped out of the bathroom to meet Giovanni in the living room. He greeted her with a calm smile, but Brenda couldn't help but notice the glint of complicity in his eyes.Her stomach fluttered slightly, but she remained composed, at least on the outside."Welcome to our temporary home," Giovanni said, gesturing towards the house they would now share.Brenda nodded, trying to hide her nerves as she followed him inside. The house was impressive, with high ceilings and elegant furniture that seemed straight out of an interior design magazine. However, Brenda felt a little uneasy when she realized she didn't know where she would be sleeping."Where's my room?" s

Chapter 4 - Clearing Things UpFortunately, Giovanni didn't try to enter her room.Brenda got out of bed after a night of not being able to sleep very well. She had breakfast and set about unpacking her luggage and exploring the house calmly.She observed the photographs decorating the living room, all of them of Giovanni with various people, except for a wedding photo, presumably of his parents.The man in the photo resembled his son, only with a less fierce, more friendly expression; the tough expression he had inherited from his mother, undoubtedly.One photo caught her attention, taken in front of a large company with the sign "Stella d'oro." Apparently, that was the name of the magazine where he worked, and his family owned it.Giovanni appeared in a photo with a very beautiful girl, he had his arms around her shoulders, and her face reminded her of having seen it at the courthouse."Perhaps he referred to her when he said he had his sexual and emotional life covered.""Could she

Chapter 5 - CuriosityThe next day, as Giovanni had announced, Marco showed up at the apartment to accompany her to the academy."Hi, I'm Marco!" he greeted as soon as Brenda opened the door. "Do you remember me? I was there on the wedding day.""Vaguely. There were so many unfamiliar faces, and I was so nervous...""Yes, that's understandable. Giovanni has asked me to accompany you to the academy and help you with the paperwork.""Yeah, I barely speak Italian and couldn't do it alone," she said apologetically."Well, whenever you're ready, we can go."Marco was a blond, slim guy, just a little taller than Brenda. She immediately felt comfortable in his company.Like Giovanni, he spoke Spanish perfectly and had no trouble communicating with him."It's a relief to talk to someone other than Giovanni. Since I hardly know any Italian...""You should enroll in an academy. If you learn it just by ear, you'll speak it wrong for the rest of your life. If you want, I can ask Francesca to find

Chapter 6 - Welcome DinnerOn Saturday, Brenda carefully dressed for the dinner organized by Giovanni's company in her honor.She had opted for a black dress with sequins that made her look older than she was, so the age difference between them wouldn't be so evident.The dress was low-cut, but not overly so, elegant and discreet at the same time.She wore shoes with the highest heels she could bear due to her lack of habit, also to compensate for the height difference. She also applied more makeup than usual to make herself look a few years older.When she saw herself in the mirror, she felt satisfied. She hoped to make a good impression and to perfectly represent the role of the wife she had been hired to play.So far, he had fulfilled his part of the deal in every way, and she had not yet been able to reciprocate.The balance of their first week of marriage had been positive for Brenda. Her expectations had been met, and the only inconvenience was that she couldn't quite relax when

Chapter 7 - Just for AppearancesAfter a while, the music changed, and ballads began to play; beautiful songs that Brenda had heard in her country in a translated version, but sounded even more pleasant in Italian.She had to admit that this language was ideal for speaking about love. Perhaps someday an Italian would say words of love to her in that language.The image of Giovanni trying to say them to Francesca came to her mind, but she couldn't imagine it. The idea of him, with his husky voice and fierce appearance, saying words of love to anyone seemed impossible to her.Francesca must have been very desperate to get involved with Giovanni in that way, and moreover, to pretend to be so calm seeing them together.Would she be able to pretend if she were on the other side? She was sure she couldn't.Lost in her thoughts, she didn't realize that some members of the group had gone to dance until she felt Giovanni's hand on hers."Let's dance too," he said.She looked at him surprised,

Chapter 8 - Jelousy?Brenda felt all eyes pinned on her and began to feel irritated. Because of this, she asked:"Well, since the guest of honor is very busy. Does anyone want to dance with the honoree?""Can I serve you?" Marco offered."Of course," she smiled eagerly.She stood up, and they began to dance in turn. Brenda immediately felt much more comfortable dancing with him than with Giovanni.After several songs, they sat down while Giovanni and Francesca continued on the dance floor. Francesca commented:"Your wife is beautiful.""Yeah, not bad.""I couldn't see her well on the wedding day, I was too far back, but she doesn't seem as childish as you say," she spoke thoughtfully."Well, she is, I assure you. You're not jealous, are you?" he smirked."Of course not, silly. I'm looking forward to having someone to share the responsibility of taking care of you," she said, playfully hitting his shoulder."You're my favorite girl, and no woman in my life will make me stop loving you,

Chapter 9 - Irrational Desire"You're a box of surprises... Brenda Harper," Giovanni said with a hoarse voice, swallowing hard."I'm just practical," she shrugged. "I didn't like the way people looked at me, as if they pitied me."He chuckled, needing to lean against the wall for a moment as a sudden dizziness washed over him."Let me take you to bed..." he requested without thinking."Excuse me?" Brenda's heart skipped a beat.Giovanni smiled, despite the unintended implication of what he had said. It hadn't been intentional, but he found the girl's reaction quite amusing."You're about to fall...""I can do it myself."Despite her words, she stumbled again, and Giovanni caught her in his arms, ending up even closer to her than they had been on the dance floor."Are you sure?" he raised an eyebrow, looking at her teasingly. "Let's suppose I believe you, what will you do when you smash your pretty face against the floor?""That'll be my problem," she snapped, annoyed, and Giovanni mov

Chapter 10 - A Special GiftBrenda remained somewhat uneasy about Giovanni, but even though she didn't understand the reason, she decided to put that aside.The important thing now was to focus on her studies and not on the stupid dreams she occasionally had.That night, as she was going to bed, Giovanni surprised her with some news that made her very happy."Tomorrow I'm going on a trip. I'll be away for a few days."Brenda wondered if it was for work or pleasure, but either way, she would enjoy the house peacefully.She could stop wearing the dreadful nightgown that smelled of mothballs and dress comfortably, without fearing that he would see her in skimpy clothing.Although the truth was that she had never intended to overstep boundaries or even hinted at anything. She had simply installed the lock he himself had bought at her request, adding afterwards that she hoped she wouldn't get sick with him asleep, because he would either have to let her die inside... or drag her out the w
