FRANCESCA

I opened my eyes in the morning and felt my nerves twisting in my stomach. It was that day of the week again - Monday. This time, it wasn’t just a regular day at the beginning of the week, but it was the day I had to report to the office for my first therapy patient of the day. Also, it was the day I finally acknowledged I had feelings for Vincenzo. Not only that. Also, I decided to give us a chance.

But back to my patient. I studied his chart late last night. His name was Smith, and

  • ROSES ON FIRE   I GIVE YOU YOUR QUEEN!

    VINCENZOIt was time to let my guard down and do my best to be forgiven. Watching Francesca, I felt the passing of time knocking on my door and that if I didn’t act now, later might be too late. I wanted to right past wrongs and build a future with her. It was time to overcome my pride and express my feelings properly. “I felt I must tell you... that I had to tell you how sorry I am for everything that happened in the past,” I continued.I could see her eyes slowly fill with tears, and that made my decision even clearer. I had to continue.Francesca gently wiped away a tear. “Vincenzo, I haven’t forgotten everything that happened either, but...”I interrupted her, jumping to my feet before I lost my courage. “Francesca, I prefer to live in the present rather than dwelling on the past. I want to build something beautiful now, together. I would like to apologize for all the pain and hurt that I have caused you, and I really hope that we can work together to make things right between

  • ROSES ON FIRE   FIGHT FOR HER

    VINCENZOThree months laterIt was like I was trying to sink inside myself, to fight this overwhelming desire to rewrite the past, to bring back those I had banished. It had been three months since the Serratore family had left my father’s house, but the void left behind seemed to deepen as time went on. I couldn’t ignore the fact that I had loved Francesca Serratore and still do with a passion that seemed to burn everything in its path.I decided to bring out the truths that lay in the shadows, to reveal the truth about my father’s past, about the tyranny and injustices he had inflicted on the Serratore family. His diary was like a portal to the past, a window through which I looked into the soul of the man who was my father. Page by page, it revealed every mistake, every sin, every moment of suffering Clarissa and Skyler had had to go through.Reading it, I realized I was blind to the injustices my father had done in the past. Inflamed with anger and ambition, he had forgotten to be

  • ROSES ON FIRE   HEALING AND FPRGIVENESS

    FRANCESCAI still had a hard time believing I’d gotten to this point. Vincenzo, the man I had convinced myself I ended up loving, had betrayed me in the lowest possible way. “Are you sure the Vincenzo we know did this?” asked Maria in confusion. “Yes Maria, unfortunately it’s the same,” I replied and again I fell into thought. Suddenly my mother came into the living room, with an expression on her face I had never seen before. In her hand, she held an old photograph, and her gaze seemed to be anchored in an unknown past.“Mom, are you okay?” I asked her, feeling a knot form in my stomach.Her voice hushed, she asked Maria, with an anger in her eyes that almost seemed foreign to her. “Who is the woman in the photograph? And why are you standing next to her?”Maria froze on the spot. It was like time had stood still, and her gaze remained locked on an indistinct point. I tried to figure out what was going on, but everything was confusing and tense.With a roar that sounded as if it

  • ROSES ON FIRE   TURNING POINT

    FRANCESCAThere was an eerie silence, and we all looked at Vincenzo, trying to unravel the mystery of what he had revealed and who he really was. Our crossed eyes announced confusion and curiosity in equal measure. I sensed something important lurking beneath the seemingly calm surface.And then, finally, I summoned up the courage to ask. “Dad, how come you didn’t know Vincenzo was actually your grandson?”And as the words rolled off my lips, I felt an explosion in my mind. I suddenly realized something shocking. How could Vincenzo and I get married if he was practically my cousin? This whisper filled my mind with disgust. My God, does this mean I had an intimate relationship with my own cousin?Vincenzo gave me a deep look, as if reading my mind, and then told me not to worry so much. He revealed my uncle Fabrizio actually adopted him when he was just a little boy and that there was no blood relation between us. A feeling of relief, but I was still angry. “How come I didn’t know

  • ROSES ON FIRE   THE ONLY HEIR

    FRANCESCAThe soft light of dawn came through the windows, caressing my cheeks and warming the room comfortingly. I had barely opened my eyes and before I really realized what was happening, I focused my eyes on a discreet presence on the bedside table, right next to the bed. A note, in Vincenzo’s handwriting, sat there, waiting for me to read it. My heart pounded, as if leaping out of my chest.As I nervously unfolded the note, my hands shaking, I read the carefully chosen words written on it. “I’m off to Rome to sort out the details of our marriage. I’ll be back in the evening.” Each word seemed to carry the weight of a precious diamond. I was in a kind of trance, as if time was expanding around me, allowing me to experience these moments in depth.I couldn’t believe that my dream was finally coming true. Vincenzo, the love I recently found, was on his way to Rome to work out the details of our marriage. The thought that we were approaching this important step in our relationship fi

  • ROSES ON FIRE   LET'S GO GET IT!

    VINCENZOIt was still a dark morning, when the first rays of the sun were just beginning to light up the sky. The mountain air enveloped my cabin, creating a comforting tranquility and solitude. We had arrived late from the Maldives, where I had spent endless hours relaxing on the sandy beaches and crystal clear waters with Francesca. And now, as I looked at her sleeping peacefully wrapped in fluffy covers, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for our precious moments together.Francesca seemed to sleep like a child, the delicate features of her face accentuated in the dim light. I walked carefully around the bed and stood there, as if I wanted to keep every detail of that view in my mind. Although I wanted to stay here, next to her, to continue enjoying the quiet moments, I knew I had to leave.Within minutes, I hurriedly dressed, not wanting to wake Francesca. With my backpack fully loaded with all the necessary items for the trip, I quickly jotted a simple note before heading out. I l

  • ROSES ON FIRE   IN MY CARE

    RiccardoMaybe Fabrizio was right, though, and bringing this woman into the house wasn’t such a good idea. It clouded my mind. On one hand, it made me do all sorts of sinful things to her and at the same time something was stopping me in time not to hurt her more. On the other hand, I would ravish

    Fabrizio“Riccardo, it’s me! We have been shot at! Clarissa’s hurt!” I said in an alert tone, looking at her from time to time. She had her eyes closed. “What??? How is she? Is she ok?” my cousin asked and I could tell he was worried. I wondered if his behavior was genuine or if Clarissa was dying
