Cynthia had been feeling very unwell lately, with a constant feeling of tightness and nausea in her chest, perhaps because she had been stuffy indoors for so long.It was the height of summer, only half past ten in the morning, and the heat was already rolling outside the window, with the sound of robins in the woods not far away penetrating the fence of the villa with a strong summer sound.She leans gently against the window, not that she likes the feeling of the sun on her body, but she has been cooped up for so long that she has forgotten what the outside world looks like.She felt bored and lonely, how could anyone in the modern world even cut off another person's internet and social devices? It was unbelievable.She was now tempted to open her social SNS to check on her friends' lives and news from the outside world. She imagined a day when she escaped and everything she wanted to do would be achieved.It was almost time for Debby to go on holiday again, so she hoped that everyt
In fact Carlo was not happy to be in charge of this mess in the North, he had no choice when he took over, he was an adopted son, Mauro Ricci needed two successors so he was chosen, and Bishop was Mauro Ricci's own, illegitimate son.They had an elder brother above them, the proper first-born son, the child of Mauro and his first wife by marriage. But this Franco was a rebel, and had been separated from the Ricci family at an early age.His elder brother had been disgusted by Mauro Ricci's shady business dealings for years, so after Mrs Ricci's death he broke off relations with the family and left for France, where he has been living for many years.Carlo knew in his heart that even if Bishop hadn't chosen the South End, Mauro Ricci wouldn't have given him the North End.After all, these are dangerous businesses and if the eldest Ricci doesn't come back, Bishop will have to take over the entire Ricci family.A bad run could land him in jail.But that's alright, Mauro Ricci will bail him
Carlo spent the next few days at the villa with Cynthia.Cynthia painted while Carlo sat in the boss chair reading a book.Cynthia took a bath while Carlo sat at the bathroom door reading the newspaper.And when Cynthia is in trouble, Carlo is always there to hand her what she needs and seems like the most caring companion.But at night, Carlo is a real dark character.He would torment her in all sorts of ways.Carlo sat on the bed and crooks his finger at Cynthia, who has just had a bath: "Come on, let's see how you behave?"Cynthia wanted to tell him to get lost, but had to hold back for the sake of freedom and reluctantly half-kneeled down to take his thick, big thing into her mouth.She couldn't know how to suck at all, and her teeth occasionally touched the outer skin of his flesh, which didn't feel too good.But Carlo looked down and saw his thing going in and out of Cynthia's sweet red mouth, her red eyes tearing up with discomfort, her long, curved lashes wet with tears, and h
"Don't leave me."Carlo's voice choked and his arms tightened, as if he was afraid the person in his arms would disappear if he let go.His eyes looked hollow, exuding a dark, silent vulnerability that shouldn't be present at his age.It was as if he would immediately turn into a cloud of dust and float away as soon as the person in his arms chose to leave.It was the first time Cynthia had seen him so unprecedentedly vulnerable, as if she had peeled back his hard shell to reveal the soft, true core inside.Cynthia, afraid of what he might do if he lost control of his emotions, lifted her arms and soothed him gently and gently: "Be good my Carlo ...... be good ......"Carlo, like a puppy wounded outside, gradually calmed by his master's gentle reassurance, but still clinging her , placed his chin on the nape of Cynthia's neck and repeated what he had just said: "You won't leave me, will you?"Cynthia didn't answer him and after a moment Carlo anxiously got out of Cynthia's arms and lo
"What the hell do you mean?"Cynthia was calmer than she thought, she remembered that when she first corresponded with Antonio, Carlo and Debby had come back around the same time, had Debby been lying to her?Cynthia clutches the letter in her hand and looks at Debby with a questioning look.Debby was still confused and could only shake her head at Cynthia, stating that it wasn't her who had told the third young master about her buying the pigments."It's not Debby, she doesn't know anything."Carlo coughed twice, "I happened to see her go into Antonio's studio that day and guessed it was a sign from you, and as for why I didn't expose your lies then and there, it was because I wanted to give you a chance."Low blood sugar, triggered by the day's lack of food, was catalyzed by the ups and downs of emotions.Cynthia's body swayed twice, holding onto a nearby table and chair to steady herself.Her face was pale and she covered her stomach in some pain.She had vaguely guessed that someo
Debby is vaguely aware that some oversight on her part may have hurt Cynthia.Her heart restless, she waits for Carlo to leave the cottage and sneaks off to Cynthia's bedroom alone.Cynthia was sitting on the bed with her hands on her knees, her thin body huddled together, which was heartbreaking to see. Debby's voice was a little choked up and she called out softly, "Miss Cynthia ......"Cynthia didn't answer, just stared blankly out the window.She didn't want to do anything or talk to anyone. The moment her hopes were shattered, her heart died.She didn't know how to save her rest life, even if she had to welcome a new life in the meantime."Have something to eat." Debby held a plate of pastries in her hand, "I bought them when I was out the other day and I haven't had a chance to give them to you yet."At the sound of Debby's voice, Cynthia looked up at her, her eyes lingering briefly on the pastry and shook her head, she hadn't eaten a single meal since she had woken up.Affected
Cynthia's health needs to be rested and Carlo has ordered that anyone who causes her any more accidents in the future will pay with their lives .Debby has been removed from her post for neglect of duty and Cynthia has not seen her for three days.Every day Cynthia lies in bed staring out of the window, lost in thought.Every time Carlo comes to her bedside and tries to tell her something she just listens without expression and says nothing.She was like a puppet who had lost her soul."I told you not to think about leaving me, why do you still have to be so cruel, even to my child."Those were the last words Carlo said to her before he pushed open the bedroom door and left.But Cynthia was living in her own fantasy, unable to respond to his words.Suddenly she recalled the film Truman's World.So that's how Truman felt when he got the truth about this world.She smiled bitterly and stood up to pour the meal Carlo had prepared for her onto the floor next to the cage.Her body had no
Antonio is still locked up, Carlo's reason being that he cannot be released until Cynthia is pregnant. Cynthia has suffered a lot of physical damage and Dr Marco says that it will take at least three months to recover before she can conceive again, which means that Antonio will be kept here for at least three months. Cynthia begged Carlo if she could release him first, as she wasn't going to escape anyway and there was no point in keeping him locked up. Carlo touched her cheek and gently refused Cynthia's request. Cynthia bit her lip and looked away from his face. Cynthia's daily care routine was replaced by Liz, with whom she did not interact much and to whom there were only three answers to any question: yes, no and don't know. With the internal problems of his 'little family' resolved, Carlo focuses more on his business in the North End. Since he had turned down Bishop's offer to sell drugs, Bishop had been making some nasty little moves recently, not so much to make an impac
