Aleksander and I walk for a while, the streets are wet because of the rain that has fallen a while ago. It is incredible to be in Capri, its corners hide history, one that prevails. It is beautiful, even after precipitation. We go side by side, but suddenly his hand takes mine, there is no one around here, I don't intend to run with these shoes either, so I assume that the townhouse is hiding another motive, and it is not to make sure I run away. Even if there were a passerby, I'm not crazy to scream for help knowing that this man has a gun.Whatever slight intention you have, he will see it. His instincts and perceptions are trained, noticeable and deducible. He realizes what he intends or not. He is very smart.“What are you thinking about?"Maybe I'm not thinking, Aleksander," I say without meeting his eyes.He stops his step, so he and I go under the streetlights, I conjure up one or another romantic movie scene. All that remains is for Aleksander to kiss me on the mouth and for m
I open my eyes, rub them while yawning. I am alone in the room, as I tilt my head I see a pill on the table on the napkin next to a glass of water. It didn't take me long to take it.My eyes lock on that ring, I smile, if only it were real and Aleksander was another type of person then everything would be perfect. Although the ring is very valuable, it does not have the most important value: love.What about the pendant? Don't know.I hurry up, quickly heading to my room. Inside my bedroom I feel the need to lock the door. I brush my teeth and take a long shower, just long enough to drain my mind and tidy up the mess in my head.What the hell is wrong with me? I have stopped seeing Konstantinov as an evil man who has done me a lot of harm, and my eyes no longer see a guy who deprived me of my freedom.It is Aleksander, the handsome Russian with grayish greens who, with few caresses, sometimes deserted glances and other times containing the passing confulgence, who has stolen my heart.
Honeymoon? There is no such time, Aleksander informs me that we must leave Capri. Apparently he has heard from Elmo that we are on the island, I pack what I can. My nerves attack me, the trembling doesn't go away and that makes it difficult for him to act quickly.“Hurry up, Luna! “She exclaims from outside.I do what I can.“I'm coming! “She shouted back, nervous to the core.Miraculously I have finished, I take the suitcase and come out finding Aleksander like an imprisoned animal, he moves from one side to the other letting out curses.“We must go.The flight is so trite, it always happens, with him there is no stability. The biggest question is: where will we go?“Where we go? “I find out, leaving with the same haste as him.“To the airport, we will go to New York “he informs.Gape, I try to spin something, nothing comes out of my mouth, it's just that my vocal cords have gone silent due to surprise. That means a lot to me, I can't process the news.“New York? “I want to make sure
I toss and turn in bed, I can't fall asleep. It's already late, it's early morning in a few hours it will be dawn and if I don't find a way to fall asleep I'm going to look like a zombie in the morning. I tilt my head, Aleksander sleeps like a baby. It is not fair that he rest so peacefully with so many crimes and demons in him, but I, who am a victim, have become a hostage to nightmares and torments.“Luna, what are you doing? “She questions with a voice that is hoarser than usual.“I can not sleep. Knowing that the day after tomorrow I will be in front of dad and not knowing how everything will turn out makes me nervous,” she explained tremblingly."Come here," he pulls me until my head is resting on his muscular chest, he puts an arm over me, and one of his warm palms rests on my bare waist. Better?The truth is that I feel comforting in his arms. I nod slowly.“Thank you."Go to sleep," he asks flatly, but it is enough to allow me to be with him like that, to know that his gesture
On the way to the city center we passed near the building where I lived since I made the decision to become independent. I get a lump in my throat, I want to go back to my previous life, and I can't."There's my apartment," I comment. I didn't mean to say it out loud.But he has already heard me."I already knew it," he admits without seeing me, remaining absorbed in driving.“How did it happen, Aleksander? Suddenly I am kidnapped by the Italian mafia and suddenly you have me captive “ I am curious about the topic of a double kidnapping, I have never gotten the right answers, ever.I am aware of having been locked up for many days in an old room, I was crying, alone under the darkness that increased the uncertainty. Many times I thought she would die or that she would be raped. That never happened. But I was filled with terror when one of those men came for me, he dragged me out of there, then he put me in the trunk of a car. I remember that oxygen was scarce and I ended up falling in
I'm dumbfounded, Aleksander has returned with a little animal in his hands. He is a small cat. I stare at him in the confusion that the feline has caused.“Just look, I don't know how he could get here, do you have any idea?The truth is, no.“I can not hold? “She whispered anxiously."It doesn't matter, take it, but don't get fond of it, I'll get rid of it," he warns contemptuously.Its white fur is as soft as cotton. How can you not love this little fur ball. It's so beautiful, I check it out, it's male. Aleksander snorts exasperated, he can't even have compassion for an innocent little animal?"Let me keep it, please," I implore, already preparing myself for his refusal.“No, it is my final decision. Do not insist."You said you wouldn't be so inexorable," I remind him with a loud sigh."I know, but I didn't promise to indulge your damn whims." “Put down the cat and help me carry all this up,” she orders, adopting a harsher tone.Reluctantly I put the cat down. I move towards the b
Elena is here, her voice, her sobbing, she is millimeters away from me, she tries to contain herself when she sees her son. She's not crying for me, she's crying for Aleksander. The truth is that those lanterns flooded with tears try to connect with me.Maybe lying wasn't an option for her, she had to do it to survive. She is not a bad person, she always behaved well, she gave me love, she considered me like a daughter. She put aside her pride and ran into her arms.“Mom, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,” I say, hugging her tightly.I apologize for nothing, I am not to blame for what is happening. But I must pretend to regret running away to be with Aleksander. Everything seems like a labyrinth, I don't know if she is aware that I know that Konstantinov is her son.“Honey, it's okay, sometimes we make bad decisions and we do it out of love, don't apologize for it, Luna. Knowing that you're alive is enough for me,” she whispers, caressing my cheeks.I look into her brown eyes, her black hai
Aleksander ties his tie, I look at him from the bed, he is leaving soon for a meeting with my father. I can't believe that last night everything went "well" every word out of my mouth seemed so real, but nothing is true.When the time came for them to leave, I wanted to leave, run and tell them the truth, I endured the sting and confessed nothing. Then that Russian took me by force, he didn't want to have sex, and he forced me to have sex.I woke up with a pain between my legs, it was so sudden last night, even my fair skin is adorned with bruises. It is his evil art captured in me.“Know? Your father asked me for your phone number, so I'm going to buy you a phone, in the meantime I told him that you lost yours recently, so he won't find it strange that you don't have one “ he informs, turning around. There's nothing out of place, he looks impeccable, he looks handsome. I hate looking at that guy, sigh “. But I warn you that I am going to follow your calls, don't you dare do something
