Don't Trust the Father of My Child Chapter 51 — Under My Father's Hand
Only after I'd said it did I realise the question had changed. My father must have understood too, because he said my name. I hung up before he could say anything else.◇At the entrance to the auction venue, Nicola offered me his arm.I didn't take it. He shrugged and gave his name to the attendant. While she checked the guest list, his gaze dropped to my shoes."Good choice."They were low heels. I kept walking without answering. His hand, swinging beside mine, still smelled faintly of cigarettes. He'd smelled the same when we'd stood on the balcony of a hotel by the harbour. When I'd said I was cold, he'd suggested going inside. I remembered laughing because he hadn't insisted on holding me close and making me put up with it.There was nothing grand about why I'd grown close to him. I'd discovered that saying what I wanted could actually change what happen
Don't Trust the Father of My Child Chapter 50 — Why Am I the Disgrace?
I didn't write back. Instead, I forwarded Father's message to Bianchi.That week I also spoke to a small transport company about a job. It involved organizing costs by contract. The person in charge welcomed my experience at first. His tone changed when I gave my surname. A few days later, I got an email saying recruitment was on hold for internal reasons.I couldn't bring myself to ask whether Father had called. He might not have needed to do anything; my name alone could have been enough. I almost removed my surname from my résumé, then left it. If I got work by hiding it, I'd spend every day waiting to be found out.I filed the rejection email separately and applied elsewhere. The second company didn't reply. I asked Bianchi again how much of my own money I could use for living expenses. I entered the available balance he'd sent into a calculator.For the first time, I did laundry in

Nicola called an attendant and requested his car. He still had business at the event and couldn't leave with me. I told him that was fine and followed his driver out of the hall.Renato was waiting in the corridor."Your father would like a word with you.""I don't want to see him."Instead of blocking me, Renato stepped in front of the driver."There's been a change of car."The driver looked at me. I shook my head."No change."Renato approached him. I didn't step between them. I called to an attendant leaning against the corridor wall."Please make sure I can leave in the car I requested."Renato grabbed my arm.My body reacted before I could think. I pulled away, trying to dislodge his hand. My low heel caught on the edge of the carpet. His grip tighte

I ended the call. The phone had left an imprint on my palm.◇We saw the police car from across the street.It was a low office building with gray walls. My father's company's black car and a white van were parked outside. Bianchi stopped beside a convenience store without crossing the road. I opened my door before he'd turned off the engine."Ms. Sera."I stepped onto the sidewalk but didn't approach the building. Two officers entered the lobby. Renato came out soon after, a file tucked under his arm. He gestured toward the parking lot as he explained something to the police.His movements looked so ordinary, like a man telling lost visitors where to park.Belli emerged much later.He hadn't managed to put one sleeve of his coat on. He held the collar with his left hand. From this distance, I couldn't tell whether hi

Matteo looked at me."What are you talking about?""Traveling. What I said over breakfast at your house."His expression softened a little. I knew he remembered that morning."I would have been fine.""As long as you liked the date I came back?"He took a moment to answer. Into that brief pause came all the questions I hadn't asked at the time."Sera, anyone would be upset if their fiancée didn't come back for months—""We weren't even engaged yet."He stopped speaking.I shifted the bag of bread to my other hand. I didn't want to deny the night we'd spent together. I'd wanted him then, and I'd liked being wanted by him. But I had let the conditions attached afterward slip past unread under the word *love*."If Clara suffers any consequences,
Don't Trust the Father of My Child Chapter 49 — How Long Will They Stay on Your Side?
"What about the file from before you erased it?"Belli opened a folder at the top of the screen. Several files bore the same date. *Draft. Revised. Issued.* Between those three words lay what I was permitted to know.He opened the draft.*Condition explained to guardian Vito. Interview with patient to follow.*I read the sentence twice. I'd never spoken to Moretti alone after coming back from the villa. Father had told me I'd be all right, that I'd simply fallen and been shaken. Even when something felt wrong with my body, everyone behaved as though I'd already been told what happened."Did you check whether anyone explained it to me afterward?"Belli shook his head."I followed the revision request.""If I say nobody explained it, who's going to look like the liar?"He opened his mouth, then clos
