Stephanie Miller. I woke up with a nasty headache and felt like a car had hit me. I can’t believe my luck. The only time I went out with the girls, they drugged us. It’s like a black cloud invades me wherever I go. I sit in bed, feeling better than I deserve. I scratch my eyes when I see Matt sitting at the foot of the bed, looking at me seriously. Seeing his cold eyes sends a chill down my spine. I swallow hard and ask. “What happened last night?”He raises an eyebrow and says. “I want to ask you that same thing. What happened last night, Stephanie?” I frown and reply, “Which part are you referring to? Because as I remember, several things happened last night.” Matt grimaces and says, “Is that so? Start from the beginning then. Because let me tell you, in the state in which we collected all of you, it was regrettable.” I open my eyes wide, and I can see that he is angry. No, scratch that. He is furious. I sigh and say. “We got to the club, we started drinking, we danced, and a
Stephanie Miller. “It’s nice to see you here, babe. I was already missing your scent.” Who the fuck is he? After a minute of extreme confusion, I broke free from his grasp and stood up abruptly. I widen my eyes, realizing that it is none other than Vicenzo. He, realizing that I recognized him, flashes an amused smile as he says. “I’m glad you’re okay now. I like Stephanie’s version better without the effects of drugs. Don’t get me wrong, you’re pretty hot that way. Although in both versions, you are still… feisty.” I frown as I tell him. “How do you know about the drug thing?” He opens his eyes and says. “And you still don’t remember it. Well, I’ll leave it to you for homework, babe.” I’m going to refute it when we’re interrupted by Matt. He looks at us both and says. “I see you’ve already met my fiancée.” I look at them both, frown and say. “Where do you know each other?” Matt tells me. “He is the owner of the bar you were at last night and he is also the owner of this rest
Stephanie Miller. The day has arrived! I never believed that my wedding day would come. Twenty years in the company of the same man seems like a dream. I couldn’t sleep all night, anxious about what would happen today. I sit on the bed and a tray with breakfast is waiting next to me. In it, a white rose, and a card. I open it and read what it says. “I love you, dear. I can’t wait to be your husband. See you in a while. A kiss, Matt.” I smiled at what I read and put the card in the envelope. I eat my breakfast when the sound of the cell phone interrupts my thoughts. “Hello?” “Good morning, future Mrs. Anderson. Did you sleep well?” I smile at his greeting and tell him. “I’d love to say I slept great, but I really didn’t sleep much. I was restless.” He said. “Did you miss me?” I smile flirtatiously and respond. “Always.” I hear him sigh as he tells me. “I dreamed about you. And it felt so real. I can still feel the softness of your skin.” I bite my lip as I tell him. “There i
Stephanie Miller.Vicenzo takes my hand and quickly leads me to his car. He drives at full speed. My tears run down my cheeks, and I can’t help but feel like my chest has broken into a thousand pieces. In an instant, I see my destroyed life as I look out the window. My lover, the one who was my partner for twenty years, cheated on me. He destroyed our bond; he made fun of my trust and my love.Vicenzo says nothing. He just looks at me and occasionally squeezes my hand affectionately. After what seems like an eternity, I hear him clear his throat and say. “Babe, I don’t know what happened and I won’t pressure you to tell me, but from what I see, you went out without a cell phone and your friends and your father will be worried about you.”I sigh at what he tells me, and I know he is right. I tell him, “You’re right. Can I borrow your cell phone?” I see he takes it out from his inside jacket pocket. He hands it to me. I look at the screen for a few minutes. I take a breath and dial E
Stephanie Miller. My eyes widen, seeing the sixty text messages coming from Matt. I swallow hard and feel the bile rise in my throat. Vincenzo raises an eyebrow and tells me. “What’s wrong, babe?” In a whisper, I told him. It’s Matt. He frowns as he asks. “What’s going on with Matt?” I showed him the cell phone, and he went to see it. He frowns more and says. “Would you like to read it? Do you want me to delete them? Do you want me to read them? Whatever you want, I will do it. But you got to tell me what you want, babe.” I feel the tears threatening to come, but something else is also threatening to come. I run to the bathroom and empty my stomach completely. Since I have eaten nothing, the only thing I vomited was bile. The three of them follow me to the bathroom, while it is Vicenzo who caresses my back. He tells me. “There, there, babe. Let it go.” I push his arm as I say. “Leave me alone, I’m disgusting.” His anger is absolute as he grabs my face with both hands tightly
Stephanie Miller.I slowly unlock my cell phone while I feel my heart beating like crazy. I take a deep breath and enter the messages app. I open it and I can read:Sunday, 10:30 p.m.Matt: Steph, I need to talk to you. Where are you?Matt: Please dear, let me explain. That’s me, but it’s not me.Matt: Stephanie, answer the phone.Matt: I’m worried about you. Tell me, where are you? Just tell me you’re okay and I won’t bother you again.Matt: Steph, we were both wrong. Remember that I also have the photos of you with a guy. Someone cannot make that up.Matt: Come on, dear. We can beat this. We have been together for a lifetime. Will you let this tear us apart?Monday, 2.33 a.m.Matt: Stephanie, I’m really worried about you. We have looked for you everywhere, and your father refuses to tell me where you are. Please, just tell me you’re okay. I need to hear from you. I need to hear your voice. I need…Monday, 10:52 a.m.Matt: Stephanie, where the fuck are you? You’re with that guy, aren’
Stephanie Miller. After seeing how the three of them left to do what was necessary, we were left alone with Vicenzo in Marie’s office. He, sensing my discomfort, asks me. “What’s up, babe?” I look at him nervously for a few moments and then I tell him. “It worries me that Matt is here. Honestly, Vincenzo, I don’t want to see him.” He nods as he says. “Well, don’t see him. No one can force you to do what you don’t want to do.” I nod in silence. Then I sigh and tell him. “I have a hypothetical question.” He looks at me seriously, as he says. “I hear you.” “If I wanted to disappear, I mean, go out of the country, with no one knowing, how do I do it?” I see how he smiles at my questions, then he says. “I see you’ve made your decision, baby. It doesn’t have to be hypothetical.” I bite my lip and can’t help but look guilty. He adds. “It is easy. If you want to disappear and only some people are aware, it can be done. Now, baby, everyone in American society knows your name. To disapp
Stephanie Miller.My eyes widen when I realize that the one behind the incessant tapping is Matt. My breathing changes, my pulse speeds up. Vicenzo, noticing it, hugs me and says in my ear, “I won’t let him get close to you, babe. But you must calm down. Remember that it’s not just you now. You carry three souls with you.” I nod at his words and while I don’t look away from him, I breathe slowly.From outside we continue hearing, “Come on, Amelia. I know you hate me, but please, I need to know if she’s okay. No one tells me anything, and it is as if the earth had swallowed her.” Amelia frowns, indignant, and yells through the door, “Bloody hell! How do you not realize that no one wants to talk to you? Nobody wants to be around you, Matt! Leave Stephanie alone!”“Can you open the door, please?” I watch as Amelia sighs and whispers to me, “I won’t let him in. I’ll talk to him outside.” I took her hands, imploring her not to say anything. She notices my fear and says. “Queen, I wou
