LOGINAuthor's Pov.That night, after Lucia had fallen asleep with her new necklace still around her neck, Alexandro sat in his study. The desk lamp cast a dim glow, illuminating the scattered pile of documents on the table. He stared at his phone screen, waiting for news he'd long been anticipating.His phone rang. He immediately answered it."Any news?" he asked, his voice cold and firm."Sir, we've found him," Lorenzo's voice came from the other end. "The person who hit Fabio and his wife. We've arrested him."Alexandro clenched his fists."Who is he?" he asked."His name is Rudy, Sir. He's a container truck driver working for one of the logistics companies, but this is connected to Matteo Bianchi."Alexandro felt his blood boil. Matteo Bianchi. Always Matteo Bianchi. Every path always led back to him."Bring him here. I want to speak to him personally.""Very well, Sir. We'll bring him within an hour."Alexandro hung up and stood from his chair. He walked to the window, staring at the d
Lucia's PovAfter the meeting with Nathan, I felt a strange feeling. There was a little nostalgia, a little sadness, but also relief. We parted ways in a much better way than our last meeting, which had been full of anger and disappointment. I could see that Nathan had changed, more mature, more introspective, and perhaps more wounded by life.But all of that quickly faded when the car stopped in front of the mansion. I saw something that left me in awe.The entire entrance to the mansion was filled with flowers. Hundreds of floral arrangements in various colors—red roses, white lilies, yellow tulips, purple orchids—were neatly lined up along the stairs and terrace.Among them, there were gift boxes with shiny satin ribbons. The fragrant scent of flowers spread throughout the yard, creating an atmosphere like a fairy tale garden."What is this?" I asked, my mouth open in surprise.Alexandro stood at the door, his hands in his pockets, his expression hard to read, a mix of pride and a
Lucia's PovI stared at Nathan with wide eyes, feeling my heart stop for a moment. His hand was still holding mine, and I could feel a strange warmth from that touch. But I quickly pulled my hand away, feeling confusion and immense discomfort."What?" I said, my voice coming out higher than I intended. "Nathan, what are you saying?"Nathan smiled, and for a moment, I saw a glint in his eyes, a glint I used to see often when we were young and he used to joke around with me."I'm joking. I just wanted to see your expression. You're still the same as before, easily surprised."I let out a long sigh, feeling immense relief. But at the same time, there was a little irritation that he'd startled me like that."You're really something else," I said, trying to sound angry but unable to keep the smile off my lips. "You almost gave me a heart attack."Nathan laughed. "Sorry, Luc. I couldn't help myself. I just wanted to see if you still had the same reactions as before."I shook my head, but I
Meanwhile, in a luxurious house on the other side of the city, the atmosphere was very different. Nathan Ricci sat in his father's study, Davian Ricci, the Mayor of this city. In his hands, he held a stack of files he'd just read carefully. His eyes looked at his father with an unreadable expression."Dad," Nathan said, his voice cold. "What is this?""Those are files you need to sign.""I can read, Father," Nathan said, his voice growing colder. "This is bribery. These are documents showing that you received money from Matteo Bianchi in exchange for political protection."Davian smiled, a smile that never reached his eyes."Nathan, Nathan... you're still too naive. Since when has politics been clean? Since when has there been a politician who doesn't accept 'donations' from businessmen?""This isn't a donation. This is bribery, and it violates your oath of office as mayor."Davian chuckled, his voice full of mockery."Oath of office? You're still so innocent. In this world, nothing i
Lucia's PovThe kiss grew deeper, wilder. Alexandro's lips crashed against mine roughly, his hands squeezing my waist with a force that made me moan. I felt burning desire between us, a fire that had long been extinguished now reigniting with devastating intensity."Bathroom," he whispered between kisses, his voice hoarse and full of desire. "Now."I didn't need to be told twice. We stumbled into the large bathroom at the end of the hallway, our hands reaching for each other, our lips never truly separating. As soon as the door closed, Alexandro pushed me against the cold tiled wall, his body pressing hard against mine."Lulu," he groaned, his hands reaching for the hem of my dress. "I can't wait to see you naked."He tore my dress off roughly, buttons scattering across the tiled floor. I gasped, feeling the cold air touch my bare skin. His hands reached for my bra, removing it with one quick motion."You're so beautiful," he whispered, his eyes devouring my body with unstoppable desi
Lucia's PovThe long-awaited day finally arrived. I stood backstage, feeling my heart pounding fast. In front of me, dozens of women from various cities had gathered, all of them with full, plump, curvy bodies—bodies that had long been considered "not ideal" by society's beauty standards. But today, they were here to prove that beauty knows no size."I can't believe I'm actually doing this," I whispered to myself, smoothing down the elegant black dress I was wearing.Alexandro appeared beside me, his hand reaching for mine."You can do this. I believe in you. And remember, I'm the main donor for tonight's prizes. So don't hesitate to choose a winner who truly deserves it."I smiled, feeling the confidence radiating from his eyes. "I'll do my best, Ale."The event began with a welcome speech from Margareth, the very enthusiastic producer. But as soon as the show started, negative comments began flooding social media."A beauty contest for fat people? This is an insult to true beauty!"
The priest began to recite the prayer in a steady voice that echoed throughout the church. I stood still beside Alexandro, my hands feeling stiff as I held the bouquet. The scent of lilies was too strong, almost making me dizzy."We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Alexandro De Lu
I showed him everything I had learned from Mira.I sat on his lap, both arms wrapped around his neck. My breath was slow, rhythmic, exactly as Mira taught. "Breathing is the key," she said before. "Proper breathing can make a man lose control."I whispered in his ear. "Where do you want me to start
Three days since Mira came.Three days I learned, about touch, about sound, about movement, about how to make a man want you. And every night, I waited.Alexandro did not come home.Around ten at night, I heard a car in the driveway. My heart pounded wildly.I ran to the window. The black car was p
At nine fifty, I was already sitting in the living room, my heart pounding. The simple house dress I was wearing didn't feel like enough. I twisted the hem of my clothes and waited.Right at ten o'clock, Mira arrived.Today she looked different. Still beautiful, still graceful, but her clothes were
