I spent the entire Sunday morning in my bed, unable to sleep at night."I better pay Claudia a visit,I need her advice," I say with a wry smile due to my huge dark circles.I took a shower and put on something comfortable, dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and white sneakers.I arrived at Claudia's house; she looks so beautiful with her baby bump, and it makes me so happy to see her. She's like the sister I've always wanted.I didn't waste any time and told her everything that happened last night. She listened attentively as we sipped on juice and ate cookies."I have to admit that Alexis is a jerk, but on the other hand, Piero is a true gentleman. I think you should give him a chance," she says with a smile."Claudia, it's not easy to just dismiss these kinds of feelings.""I know, when you fall in love, you can't see anyone else, but I think you really enjoy suffering. You could have a caring man by your side, yet you still prefer holding onto Alexis," she says with a wry expressio
"Darling, how lovely to see you both," my father greets Alessandro and me."We have excellent news for you," I announce as my mother joins us. "You will be grandparents to a beautiful baby boy."Shouts of surprise and excitement ensue."Congratulations, my dear, Alessandro," my father hugs us. "Have you thought of any names?""We like the name Luca," Alessandro says, and my mom starts crying."Mom?""I'm thrilled to have a little one coming into the family," she says through tears. "Our grandson Luca will be a much-loved boy."Alessandro and I are not officially married yet, which is why we've been planning a new wedding all this time.Eva will soon leave for Canada, and I want her to attend my wedding. She's my maid of honor and must be there, so I sped up my plans."Eva, is everything ready?" I ask my friend as we meet for lunch."Yes, Claudia, I promise to call you as much as I can, don't worry. Plus, I'll only be gone for 5 months," she says with a smile. "I'll be back just in tim
I could only watch as my best friend moved back and forth. She looked distressed, but I was starting to feel dizzy."Eva, stop it! Why are you so nervous?""My trip is approaching, I have my suitcases almost ready, but...""What's wrong, dear friend? You can still change your mind about the trip if you're not sure.""It's just that now I realize how much I'm going to miss my parents. I've never been separated from them," she says with teary eyes."You told me yourself it's just a five-month trip. Seize this opportunity and enjoy it," I encourage her, seeing her sad."You're right. With some contacts from my father, I managed to secure a teaching job. It's a language center in Canada.""Will you be an Italian teacher?" "Exactly, my friend. I'm really excited. There are people from different nationalities at that center. I think I'll learn a lot about other cultures," she says this time with a smile."I'm happy for you, Eva," I give her a hug. "Alright, I'll leave you to finish packing
I was finishing a pretty heavy day at work. I had studied communication at the University of Madrid, Spain and I had just graduated two years ago.I work in the creative area of Lombardi Enterprises. I still have a lot to learn in the entertainment business, but I really love what I do.Being a pretty smart girl, I managed to stand out from the rest of my peers. I recently got promoted to the position of Creative Executive Director, many of my peers are jealous of my new position.My fiancé, Javier Harris is a wonderful man, I met him in college, we were very good friends until he proposed me to be his girlfriend, I always liked him and it was wonderful when he proposed to me, we have been dating for two years, without a doubt he is the best man in the world.He recently proposed to me, I am so happy, I feel very grateful to life."Claudia, wake up!""I'm sorry, what were you saying, Eva?""My friend, you're in another world, it's the weekend and what do you say? We go to a bar to rel
Will it be true that she is not my sister? She is two years older than me, so I need to investigate the truth.I realized that the hotel has a bar, so I decided to go in. I hardly drink alcohol but for this time I really wanted to drink and forget about everything.I went to an empty seat next to, there was a rather handsome gentleman but with a very gloomy and sad look, I think we both had a bad day."Please, a double whiskey.""Right away, miss."I began to cry in silence while I drank without measure, suddenly I noticed that man's look. I just didn't care and I kept drinking as much alcohol as I could."I don't know what happened to you, miss, I think you've had enough alcohol."It's my business," I answer regardless of the words of that man.I was sunk in my thoughts, without a doubt from now on I would be a different type of girl, apparently men like more determined women and not as boring as me.Some pretty handsome guys approached me and one of them pulled me towards him. I was
"It's true, the one who is always in charge of the company is Vice President Lorenzo Santoro."On the other hand there is his cousin Alexis Lombardi, he always spends his time posing in fashion magazines and gossip shows, they are like polar opposites.""You have to admit that Alexis Lombardo is very handsome, it's a pity he's a womanizer, Claudia, imagine meeting the Lombardo cousins in person, it would be every girl's dream.""Eva, you never change, you cannot be guided by the appearance of a person, their value is defined by their way of being.""Okay. You win, friend, it will be better to go to work if we don't, they will rebuke."The morning passed very quickly, I had several projects to review, I have a lot of work. There is a new project with the most famous Italian film director, Luciano D'angelo, it is a film that promises to capture the hearts of the audience.Just when it was time to go out to eat I received a call from Javier, I decided to answer it, it was necessary to
"Changing the subject a bit, Alessandro, is it true that Alexis is marrying Miss Anna Rosetti?"Anna was my great love when I was young, just on Friday I found out that she had gotten engaged to my cousin, I admit that that day I felt a little sad, I decided to go have a couple of drinks and that's where I met that mysterious girl."That's right, they get married in 2 months.""Wow, apparently Alex got away with it, I really hate your cousin, Ale, how could he do that to you?""I don't care about that, I already realized what kind of woman Anna is, they are right for each other.""It's true, besides you are Alessandro Lombardi, you can have any girl you want.""Lorenzo, I must confess to you that there is something that worries me.""What happened?""When my grandfather found out about Alexis' engagement, he talked to me and he wants me to get married too.""What is the problem? No one can force you to get married.""That's what I thought, but my grandfather threatened to take control
Pov. Alessandro When I saw her enter the office, she looked so delicate, just like a flower. I immediately realized that she recognized me, she turned pale from fright upon learning my identity.I turned to my friend."Lorenzo, can you leave us alone?""Sure."She straightened up and regained her composure."Tell me, Mr. Lombardi, what can I support you with?""Claudia, you can call me Alessandro, it's not necessary so much formality.""I couldn't, you're my boss."I saw her very nervous, she looked so cute. I approached her, we were face to face."You can't call me Mr. Lombardi, tell me Alessandro." I reiterated."It's not that easy for me.""Claudia, stop being so shy, after all you and me... It's not necessary to go into details, you already know." Her blushing face provoked me to kiss her at that moment. "Tell me, Claudia, Did you go back to your ex-boyfriend?"She was silent for a few seconds. "No, he and I definitely broke up."I was happy with his answer, I don't want any m
