DanteA ringing in my ears is what caused the sound of the explosion. I open my eyes and see Franco get up and walk towards me. My head hurts when I feel that everything around me is spinning. This is when I hate that I drank so much alcohol that night."Sir, are you all right?"It helps me to stand up.Before we could respond, the shots hit us. They found us.And as Franco said, they are completely covered with cloth on all sides, only their eyes are visible and they are heavily armed."We have to get back on the road and see if there are any vehicles left intact," he speaks frankly again.The headache prevents me from thinking or saying anything, so I just nod my head and let him guide me. We took shelter among the sand dunes as we crawled to get to the road.When we get to the roadside, we see three SUVs burnt out in flames. Two are missing, and there is no trace of them. Maybe they managed to escape. I don't know if Enzo managed to get out of this mess.It's Franco and I in the mid
DanteTwo days pass, and Franco remains unconscious. I continue to clean his wound whenever I can. Hasan comes several times and brings us some food. He also stays for a few minutes to chat with me; he says he keeps me company so I don't feel alone. I appreciate his company. I like it. The best thing for them is that we leave soon. He doesn't want him and his grandfather to be in danger because of me."Dante, do you have children?" Hasan asks while helping me bandage Franco's wound. I don't answer. "My parents had me when they were very young. When my father found out my mother was pregnant with me, he didn't hesitate much and eloped with her to live together," he laughs. "That's the way things are done around here.""Well, not where I come from," I'm reminded of the time I almost kidnapped my wild one. "And no, I don't have children," I answer his question."Don't you have a wife?""Not yet, but I hope to have one soon," I smile as I remember her."Then that means you'll have childre
LillieI've been almost three weeks without being able to communicate with Dante. There's no response or any sign of him or his goons, and the guy named Ivan isn't responding either. Could it be that he's already forgotten about me? Or perhaps I never meant anything to him, just sex, until he got what he wanted and disappeared. Maybe he realized it was time to distance himself after getting what he wanted. His lack of response makes me believe that. And since I haven't received a single message since that night, all of this makes me realize the reality. I thought he actually felt something for me, at least that he liked me, but that didn't even seem to happen. I was naive. I don't know how I could believe in this man, trust him knowing he's a mafioso and a killer. If my mother knew about my stupidity and how I gave myself to a guy like that, she would be completely disappointed in me.Today, I was supposed to go see her, but I told her I would come after getting out of university. Sin
Lillie"Why are you so defensive with me? I just said what I thought."It's just frustrating to me how naive you are to believe that the Devil will fulfill all your whims. If you want to be with him, you need to know very well the kind of man he is and get used to his life. He won't give up things to be with you."I'm not interested in anything from him anymore. "I cut off her sermon". Between him and me, whatever might have been is over."That's what I'm telling you, Lillie. You need to grow up and stop throwing tantrums. Just because he doesn't answer your silly messages or calls from a toxic girlfriend, you're not going to end your relationship.What's wrong with her? Why is she saying these things to me?"I'm not toxic! "I raise my voice". That's my decision, period. I'll be leaving the country soon, and if he comes back here, he won't find me, if he still cares to look for me."What? Where are you going? "Her tone changes, and her facial expressions show concern."I'm going to Ge
LillieI wake up feeling somewhat confused and a little dizzy, but still manage to open my eyes. My head hurts. I don't understand what happened to me. When I finally manage to see my surroundings, I realize I'm in a room that seems like a nurse's office. I try to sit up, but then a young nurse stops me and speaks to me."You need to rest; you're still weak."I still don't understand."What happened to me?" I touch my head due to the intense pain."You fainted, and then they brought you here for an examination."My mind starts to remember something. I remember that before that, I had gone to my mother's room, but I couldn't enter because I heard her talking to someone. I'm starting to remember! She was arguing with that man, that Lionel guy, but now I realize why I felt so sick until I fainted. They were talking about me, about who he is. Oh no, I remember now. At this point, I would have preferred to have lost my memory to not remember what my ears heard, but I earned that by eavesdr
LillieNo, I don't believe it. There must be a mistake with the tests. Perhaps it's some kind of joke. Yes, maybe that's it, and this man who's trying to be my father has teamed up with him to mock me.My eyes are wide open in shock. I can't say anything more. I shake my head. This can't be possible."There must be some misunderstanding. I don't think she's sexually active," Lionel says, visibly worried and somewhat agitated."No, sir, there's no misunderstanding. The pregnancy tests came back positive, and the chances of a blood test being wrong are very low."So, it's true. I'm pregnant. But what about the pill I took? Did it not work, or maybe I took it too late?"I don't understand why," I reply vaguely."If you engage in unprotected sex, that's the cause," the nurse adds.Does she think I don't know that? Does she think I'm stupid?"I know that very well," I mutter. "What I'm trying to say is that I took the pink pill, the morning-after pill.""Perhaps it didn't work if more than
Sometime laterLillieIt's been a month since I found out I'm pregnant. It was unexpected for my family, leaving them quite surprised, but in the end, they've made me feel their support. They assured me that I'll never be alone. I'm grateful for their support and everything they've done for me. Without them, I'd feel miserable and lost. This month has given me the opportunity to think things over, and now that we're living in Germany, things are slowly improving. They've become a bit easier compared to when the four of us lived alone.Alex stopped working to dedicate her time solely to my dear niece and resumed her law studies. I'm so happy for her. Sandy is thrilled because she has her own room, which is pink, but what she liked the most is that she started attending a private school. It's one of the most prestigious schools in the world. But the best part is that she smiles more now because she spends more time with her mother. That's what they needed. My mother is still at the clin
