PastMay 2015When 2015 arrived, I didn't imagine that it would make me Rocco's most sought-after lady-in-waiting. One who could afford to say which clients to serve and which not to serve, to put a limit on how many times they could see me per year, and who had somehow paid their debts to the men who held me hostage. Or well, they made me get that excited, so I said that I would take my time and that I would still continue to enjoy the advantages that the business gave me.I wasn't an idiot, there I was making necessary connections for the future, one that was shaping up very well according to my bank account. So, I kept making my donations, kept saving and continued in the same routine, only now I could add more care and protection. The fact that she was an escort, who was gaining her rise in high society, was a very prominent point for many. That's why I avoided social media like the plague, I didn't want things to blow up in my face from one moment to the next.And so it was, that

PastJanuary 2016I had to go to the safe house.In the last few months, after my meeting with the mayor, the demand for me increased so disproportionately that Rocco called me into his office to put together a work plan for the rest of the year. The euphoria would subside from one moment to the next, so I would seek to squeeze myself to my heart's content, however, that was coupled with my investigative plans in which I was able to get valuable information for the FBI.That's why she went to an important party that took me to see that Guido was doing his thing with my payments and those of my friend, so I needed help in this regard.I had the feeling that the imbecile was up to something else, I just had no idea what, but I sensed something, and even more so when Lilly informed us not to trust Guido, to keep our eyes wide open.So, I wrote to Mori and he told me he would wait for me in an apartment in Harlem.I knocked on the door and he opened it for me, he looked wounded, beaten an

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. I stood by what I had to stand for so that the economy of my hometown would not be affected by the quarrels of bullies who thought the world revolved around them.It was a win-win, a smart mode, I just needed to get on the map.After moving to Boston and then moving to Washington D.C., I understood that I had to return to the financial capital of the world, whether I liked it or not, I had to return home to make things work better. It wasn't the right thing for me, but it was right for my family and their future.They deserved me to give them my best.My sister had been back for almost two years, I helped her set up a photography school so that she could make a living from her passion. However, with Enzo it was difficult, I didn't want to touch the money, I said I didn't need it and that I shouldn't

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

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
