A Night With The Past 69. Emma
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

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

PresentNovember 2016I came home with a searing pain in my neck.I had a suspicion that it wasn't going to end there, that it was going to be a major problem."We must move..."That was the first thing I said to Alice when we arrived and she and Lilly looked at me as if the screws had come off."Why would anything that happened today make me move somewhere else when I'm so comfortable?" He asked and crossed his arms."If you didn't see the videos, or the interaction... Mr. A is Luciano Basciano's older brother, he's not going to release me just for the sake of it, and if he ran away, I'm running a risk that I can't...Al, the guy with the translations, the beam of technology and the only one who didn't see me as a piece of meat when I went to train for the FBI, knocked on the door and when I saw him, I knew that whatever it was, I had to take care of him right away."We need to talk," he said, and I nodded.My friends looked at him with surprise and then at me, then, with all the cal

PresentDecember 1016My world had withstood so many things, too many, but to see Emma in the arms of my greatest enemy felt like the dumbest betrayal of all. It was so intense that my brother just left me at home to deal with my thoughts."Don't judge her now when you didn't before, give her the benefit of the doubt and have the decency not to be a big jerk in the process," he said and I shook my head.I didn't understand what he meant until that morning when I found them in bed together and went crazy. After Emma said those painful words, she went straight to the stairs and I tried to follow her, but Enzo stopped me by taking my arm."It's not a good time to talk to her, not now...""You don't tell me what to do, you and she betrayed me, you...""You really are an!" He blurted out angrily. That woman loves you so much that she is unable to let you go, she has too many layers, but you push and push, doubt and believe the worst of her because your greatest enemy brainwashed you."I kn

PresentDecember 2016Luciano Basciano was in front of me.I didn't know whether to run or stay, I think it was the fear that drove me to turn around ready to get out of the place.His voice, exquisite and hoarse, stopped me."She wants to talk to both of them, Emma," he said firmly, with clear sincerity. “I came because he asked me to, and honestly, I need the answers I haven't gotten from your mouth yet, so you can't judge me for that.”His words were like lava running down my skin, burning every corner of pain and desolation, making me writhe to infinity."He's right, Emma, please, daughter, stay because I have a lot to explain to you," my mother said with difficulty.For the first time I looked at Isabella Casey with pity and sadness.What could my mother tell both of us to get her here?Something isn't right here..."I don't know how to start this conversation, honey," she said sincerely, and my body went numb right away as she closed her eyes and opened them to fix her gaze on m
