That memory tightens my chest, but I disguise it as best I can.I can't reveal what happened in that mansion that was now mine, not in front of my mother and Charles."No," I assure them, under the suspicious gaze of everyone present."Then we'll investigate the building's security cameras to see if we can identify the suspect," the officer informs us. "We'll do everything we can to find out who did this.""Thank you, officers," Diane thanks them, looking very distressed by the situation.As the police leave, a deep silence settles in the room. I still can't believe this has happened, but despite my chaotic thoughts, I try to salvage the damaged items.Almost everything is now unusable, and though it pains me a little, mainly for my laptop since I used it extensively for work, I'm grateful that the damage was only material and that I wasn't here when it happened."I don't think it's safe for you to stay here," Charles says after helping me put several things in trash bags.And I consi

"Please answer, please answer, please answer."I internally beg for him to finally decide to answer at least one of the dozens of calls I've made to him since yesterday.I know he's very upset about what I did, especially considering how much he detests Charles and it doesn't help that I'm still at his house, waiting for my mother to wake up so we can leave.I'm the only person awake at this hour, aside from Charles' cat named Neville. Although I think I'm starting to annoy him with the way my foot keeps moving incessantly due to the anxiety this whole situation is causing me."Good morning, dear," my mother finally appears in the living room, looking very refreshed. "I'll make some coffee, would you like some?"It seems she has already showered, I'm surprised to see her awake so early."Mom...""I'll also prepare some breakfast, I hope your boyfriend won't mind the intrusion.""Charles is not my boyfriend," I clarify."But you were, right? It's the same thing," she says, searching fo

"What are you doing here?" I manage to say in a thread of voice, receiving no response from him as he is too busy looking inside the house. "Charles, what are you doing here?""I want to ask you the same question," he says with a perplexed expression. "Is this... yours?""Answer me first," I demand. "How did you get here?""Will you let me in?" he inquires, ignoring my words."Absolutely not," I retort, to which he reacts with surprise at my refusal."Claudia, when you left, your mother was deeply affected by your behavior," he informs me. "I went to your apartment to look for you, but when I arrived at your building, you got into a taxi, and since you're not answering my calls, I had to follow you.""Charles, you know it's not right to follow people, don't you?""You say it as if I did it with bad intentions," he says offended. "Precious, the truth is that you've been acting very strange since you arrived. Are you sure you're okay?"I'm not entirely okay, but that doesn't prevent me

Charles's POV Hearing her distressed screams from inside is something that fills me with sorrow, but it doesn't make me want to set her free.Confirming that the damn Alessandro Lombardi is alive and that she escaped with him while we were all searching like idiots, has driven me to lose my composure.I can assure you that I'm a man who knows how to control himself, but to have that foolish look on my face after humiliating myself and waiting so long to have her, it has caused me to lose control and feel the anger I had kept bottled up for so long.I suppressed this feeling so much that I had even forgotten how it felt. I only showed my good side to others, but that demon inside me has resurfaced and I can no longer control it. Because being good is something that has never amounted to anything.Her dislike for my goodness doesn't matter anyway; she prefers the bad guys. The ones who make her suffer and bring tears to her eyes.It's those kinds of men that Claudia gives herself to, b

Alessandro's POVShe was supposed to come back five days ago. I haven't stopped thinking about Claudia since she left, and I'm on the verge of losing my mind.I knew that if she left, something like this would happen. I knew someone would interfere and mess it up because it's always the way. And in this case, it had to be that fucking son of a bitch Charles.Finding out that Claudia was at that idiot's house pissed me off, so I chose not to talk to her until I calmed down, avoiding making this shit worse and messing everything up again.But despite all of that I wanted to contact her on the day she was supposed to return and since then she hasn't answered any of my calls.I want to believe that she hasn't done it because she's mad at me and doesn't want to talk to me. But it pisses me off not knowing for sure.I've been feeling a damn pressure in my chest that has kept me from sleeping at night. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like something is wrong, and I don't give a damn how angry we

I can't hide the expression of concern and uncertainty that settles on my face upon hearing that unpleasant news."Find out as much as you can," I ask of my faithful friend."Of course, sir," he replies, and I hang up.Bruno's call leaves me completely bewildered and with a terrible feeling.Something is not right here, Claudia wouldn't just disappear like this no matter how upset she is. Her friends must know something.I take my daughter and walk to Anna's room, finding her sitting on the bed."I have to go," I let her know."How can you leave when you've just arrived?" she questions, furrowing her brow."I need to take care of some things," I respond briefly."Once again, you're neglecting your responsibilities as a father.""I'm not neglecting anything and don't worry, we'll discuss custody of my daughter when I get back.""Custody?" she exclaims, agitated."That's right," I say, placing Vittoria next to her."You're not thinking of taking my daughter away, are you?" she says, ann

When I find her curled up in a corner of the room, her face soaked in tears, her dry lips, and her wrists bound, I only want to kill him.I rush towards her, kneeling by her side and quickly untie the rope around her wrists. Then I realize she's not even conscious."Claudia," I speak to her, placing my hands on her face. "Love, talk to me, I'm here."I'm extremely worried for her to open her eyes."Claudia, react, please."I start to panic as she doesn't respond, but then I feel her right hand on mine, and soon her eyes open, allowing me to see her beautiful hazel iris."Alessandro," she whispers almost inaudibly."Yes, my love. I'm here.""Claudia," she says again, clinging tightly to my torso as if I'm protecting her from everything, as if I'm her shield.The sound of her sobs reaches my ears, and for every tear I see her shed, I want to make that son of a bitch pay even more."He... he... did this to me," she mumbles, barely able to speak."I know," is all I say, kissing her forehe

I'm unable to think coherently after the words Alessandro uttered a few seconds ago. My heart is racing uncontrollably as I search his face desperately for a hint of a joke that might tell me this isn't real. But that doesn't happen. He remains serious and expectant, waiting for a response.I'm speechless and paralyzed. I'm trying to process his request over and over again. I never thought he would ask me this again, much less in this moment.I'm afraid because the last time he proposed, it didn't take long for everything to fall apart and I realized it had been more about my desire to get married than his own.I didn't want him to propose just to fulfill my wishes."You're playing with me, aren't you?" I managed to say at last."I wouldn't joke about something you've wanted for so long," he replies with the same seriousness.But contrary to what one might think his response would evoke in me, the truth is that it disappoints me to hear it."Are you asking me to marry you just becaus
