37: The start of a new life

Deaf pain woke me up in the middle of the night. First bearable, it quickly became more intense, radiating in my lower abdomen as an uncontrollable wave. My breath accelerated and, instinctively, my hand came to land on my rounded belly.

I frowned. Was it time?

My heart fell to this thought. A mixture of fear and excitement grabbed me while I turned my head towards Alessandro, deeply asleep by my side. His chest lifted slowly under the rhythm of his peaceful breathing.

-Alessandro… I whispered, shaking it slowly.

He does not react immediately, then groaned slightly by pleating his eyes.

- MMH?

-I ... I think it's for today ... I whispered between two contractions.

He immediately opened his eyes, his gaze becoming alert in a fraction of a second.

- What ? Do you mean that ... now?

I grimace by tightening the sheet between my fingers. Damn, it hurt.

- Yes ... it's possible.

A large smile stretched on her lips.

- It's great! he exclaimed with child

    42: his answer, his loveThe silence that settles after my words is unbearable. I put my heart bare before him, exposed my deepest feelings. But Alessandro says nothing. He just looks at me, motionless, his dark and indecipherable gaze. Then, suddenly, he moves. He crosses the distance that separates us from a single step, grabs my face into his hands and forces me to immerse my eyes in his. - Repeat. His voice is hoarse, trembling. As if he dared not believe what he had just heard. I am difficult to swallow. - I love you, Alessandro. He closes his eyes for a moment, letting out a breath loaded with emotion, then reopens them on me. - You don't know how much I waited for these words. His thumbs gently caress my cheeks. - Livia ... Her voice breaks slightly. You are my wife, my son's mother ... and the love of my life. Do you really think I could have let you go? My heart is missing a beat. - But ... the contract ... - The contract?! He laughs gently, a trembling, almost

    41: Free… Really? Livia's point of viewThe word resonates in my head as an irrevocable sentence. FREE. That's what he offers me. What he believes to give me. I give my eyes to Leonardo, peacefully asleep in my arms, unconscious of the upheaval that agitates his mother. My son. Our son. The fruit of a love that I have always you. Alessandro speaks, his deep and controlled voice, but I know him too well now. I perceive each flaw behind his words. He believes that is what I want. He thinks he does what he should do. A house. A full account. A comfortable life. Without him. My heart tightens at this thought. He still didn't understand, right? I look at him, and it seems more distant than ever. This same man who watched over me with an almost suffocating possessiveness, who put a hand every night on my belly as if to make sure that his son and I were safe ... This man, today, lets me go. For what ? Because he believes that he owes me nothing more than this contract. Because he th

    40:Alessandro's point of viewSilence has become a weight in this house. Before, there was his voice. Its perfume. His benevolent gaze placed on me. Before, there was his advice, even when I did not ask them. His way of putting her hand on mine to remember not to be too hard. Do not forget man under armor. Before, there was my mother. Today, only the void remains. I get up every morning with this strange feeling that something is missing. As if I had forgotten something important, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I remember. She is no longer there. I could say that I'm better. That time does its job. That the pain is erased slowly. But it would be a lie. We do not recover from the loss of a mother. We just learn to live with it. I think about it all the time. To the child I was, to the one she raised. To my father, which she never stopped loving, even after her death. I remember dinners with family, her laughter, his looks heavy with reproaches when I was stupid. I al

    39: Isabella's last breathD'Alessandro's point of viewI always thought my mother was invincible. Despite the years, despite the tests, despite the disease that gnawed at her slowly, Isabella Ferrari had remained standing, worthy, the piercing and the impenetrable smile of a woman who never showed her weakness. Until today. The incessant beep of medical machines, the pallor of his skin, his short breath ... Everything in this room felt the end. - Mamma ... please, please. My voice was shaking. I didn't remember the last time I begged anyone. But there, I felt pride, pride. I just wanted ... more time. She opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at me. His dark pupils, who had once directed everything with a simple look, were tired, veiled by pain. - Alessandro ... His smile was weak, but present. Livia was a little behind, the baby in her arms. My son. His grandson. My mother gently stretched her hand towards them, and I helped her touch my child's sweet cheek. -You gave

    38:Since our return to the villa, Alessandro has changed. Oh, he has always been possessive, authoritarian, and absolute control over everything around him. But since the birth of our son, it's worse. Well worse. Nothing escapes him. He wants to manage everything. The safety of the house has been reinforced, no one is without its authorization. Doctors and nurses who come to see our baby are handpicked. Alessandro checks every detail, each movement, as if the whole world was a threat to our son. I should feel reassured. Admiring, even. Because basically, he does all of this for love. To protect us. To offer us a bubble where nothing and no one could reach us. But this bubble ... begins to weigh me. -You shouldn't wear that, let me do it. -Rest, I'm going to ask someone to bring the baby. - You're tired, go to sleep, I take care of everything. His words, repeated again and again, end up frustrating me. I feel like I am locked up in a too tight cocoon, a place where I am reduce
