PastMarch 2016My life had gone the way it was supposed to be.I graduated and did a specialization; I took over and controlled the whole new and empowered Basciano-Moretti conglomerate.

PastMarch 2016"I think I'm hallucinating," I told my therapist. “Today I saw it, I saw it with my brother and that's impossible, so my head must be playing a very bad trick on me, it must be ridiculing me because it's not okay to see things like that.”"You're not crazy, maybe you confused her, but don't say things you might end up more confused about... Much more. You need to rest, have the closure you really deserve Luciano, let her go at last, accept that she made her decision and that you can no longer influence her.”"But..."He sighed and readjusted his thick-pasted glasses."I've been treating you for years, I've given you tools, exercises and so on, more than enough things for you to get out of it, but you're in denial, you're closed and so you can never be a free man, one who doesn't feel fear and gives himself the opportunity to be happy. You're sabotaging yourself and if you keep it up, I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop your case or refer you to someone else," he said,

Part V. QuestioningPresentSeptember 2016I was about to break when the sound of heels interrupted us and a squeaky voice was heard in the background."You damned wretch! You've always been here," a woman said, causing me to slam my eyes open.I centered myself so I wouldn't turn around and he let go of me. which I didn't know how to interpret."It's all right, Giulia," she replied subtly, still looking at me."I've been trying to locate you from the gala." I got a rumor that you went off with a beautiful woman and I couldn't witness that," he said in an amused tone. “Can you explain to me what's going on?”I just laughed at the situation.Most likely, she was a jealous and multimillionaire girlfriend, I must have assumed that a man with the economic status of a Basciano-Moretti could be engaged to someone just as important, perhaps to a girl from the big families of old money or politicians."Is it Emma?" The woman asked."Yes, it's her," Luc replied suspiciously.I turned and detai

PresentSeptember 2016"I want you to tell me, princess, tell me... Just tell me what happened, I know I don't deserve it, but please tell me what else broke your heart," I pleaded with my heart in my hands and my soul broken."No, no...”She got up and ran off the property, for a few seconds I froze, then I went after her, but a scream stopped me on the spot.I turned to see my sister who followed me and looked at me in pain."Leave her, she seems to have a lot to figure out now and so do you... Let her dissect her time with you and let's go inside the house, the best thing you can do now is cry," my sister said and that's what I did.I walked with her and cried.Giulia poured me something strong, hugged me and gave me a kiss on the head that, instead of calming me down, only made the river contained inside me come out without further ado.I woke up with a tremendous sense of lethargy, Giulia entered the room with a tray loaded with burgers, my favorite juice, and cold brew coffee. I

PresentOctober 2016Leaving Luc's house was hell.I was lucky enough to be able to take a taxi to drop me off at home and when Alice opened the door, I couldn't resist as I felt her arms around me, trying to contain my suffering, but it was too late.No one could stop what my lacerated heart felt."What's the matter, Emma?" Lilly asked anxiously, and I became aware of her presence."I couldn't stand it... I'm not that strong, I'm not.”I sobbed without further ado, with a lot of hysteria, and she changed her position with Alice, so that she looked for a way to calm me down as she used to do when a crisis hit me hard. It was brutal to fall into such a bad and desperate situation."I'll kill him! This time I will," Alice said in a rage, and paced back and forth, still looking at me.I hated that maelstrom of feelings; it was like going back to the bottom of the abyss.It was Monday, after two weeks of thinking about myself.I rested a lot, as much as I could after telling Rocco that I
A Night With The Past 70. Luciano
PresentFrom October to November 2016My life before I found Emma was nothing, after she rejected me, it was hell. I became obsessive about one topic to let another go, to forget that the woman who loved me had rejected me, so, with help with company audits."Well, there are twenty-seven people who have been directly involved with these accounts," Leonardo said, and Jonathan handed me other papers."What's this?" I asked when I saw the red numbers."It's the amount of money that's come out of the conglomerate's coffers. To sum it up, they took a hefty amount of money out of you during these months, one that may be a pinch for all the net worth, but that is very evident to track when they made the moves.”"The person who made the moves must have had two things: absolute confidence that he would have free access, as well as that they wouldn't dig," said Leonardo, who got up to pour himself a glass of whiskey. “I narrowed down the list to the five people who could do it, and of those, fo

PresentFrom October to November 2016The night of the charity dinner had arrived, to my utter bewilderment, it was in an elegant place, an amazing place that was everything we had always been taught as glamorous, elegant and luxurious. He had no idea if he had paid for that with the money he managed to steal from the company or it was something he did at an earlier time. We didn't know anything about his background before he got his hands on this city's underworld again.So, when my brother came up to me in a tuxedo, I said:"I have a feeling it's going to be a different night..."And so it was, when we entered the luxurious museum, the doors were closed and the guests, who numbered about a hundred, were led to tables at which we sat. Enzo and I were alone, the stalls of Diana, Giulia and her future husband were empty. However, the rest of the tables were full, and at one in particular I saw one of the best friends of the love of my life in a stunning blue dress. It was then, when I
A Night With The Past 72. Emma
PresentFrom October to November 2016I was calmly chatting with my friends when the doorbell rang, Alice opened the door, and a delivery man said:"I brought a packet for Miss Cook.”She received it and I had to modulate the tension in my body, I pretended to be selfless and Lilly was the one who saw me with cunning. Then Alice closed the door and came back to bring me a small box that had a Dakota sender on it, with that I took it and ran to lock myself in my room."Is everything okay, Emma?" Lilly asked on the other side of the door."Yes, I think Grandpa sent me something, I need to check it private..."I was surprised that Mori used my past, so I knew that I must know everything or almost everything about it and it was not something I liked. When I opened the box, I saw a new phone, one that I soon turned on, and I saw a message on it.I'll be at my apartment tonight, I had to get closer because the last phone I gave you is compromised. Get rid of this one and go to the appointme
