"PROBLEMS" PART 2
"WHAT DID SHE SAY?" Many of the customers turn in our direction. Alena didn't miss an opportunity to yell at the top of her lungs.
"Shhh... keep your voice down! Don't you realize that people are turning to look at us," I whispered with irritation."It's not my fault that people who frequent this store don't miss the opportunity to get juicy gossip. But that is not important; I can't believe that goddamn brat said that to you. I mean, she treated you as if you were a tramp. Doesn't she know that you own the company?""No," I answer while shaking my head in denial, "she must think I'm some subordinate who's just messing with her father to climb the social ladder. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said such a bunch of nonsense."And, what are you going to do? Because this cannot continue, no way, no way. We have to plan the perfect revenge" Alena is so upset that if you prick her vein, it's not blood that spurts ouRelated chapters

"AN UNEXPECTED INVITATION""Hmm?" I answer the incoming call on my cell phone. Who the hell is disturbing my sleep? Waking up a pregnant woman should count as a crime."Oh! Sorry, Cara mia, I didn't think you'd be asleep at this hour.""Are you insinuating that I'm being lazy, Stefano Graziani?" Well, yes, it's eleven in the morning, so what? How dare he call me lazy? Automatically my sleep faded away and was replaced by growing anger.Although looking at it from a different perspective, I had never slept in until so late, unless I stayed up all night. However, it doesn't give him the right to call me so."Christie, please, understand me. If I hadn't called earlier, it was because I feared waking you up. I know that pregnant women sleep more because they get tired faster due to the excess of hormones flowing in their bodies. I should have texted instead of calling. I apologize about that" aww, can't thi

"MARELLA PARISI""You didn't answer my question, Marella. What the hell are you doing here?" Stefano is so upset, his face is entirely red, and the vein in his neck looks like it's about to burst. I take his hand in an attempt to calm him down."Relax, dear! You'll give yourself a stroke. What's wrong with me coming for a friendly visit," I tell the witch in her mother tongue,"If you haven't noticed, my guest, who is my girlfriend, doesn't speak Italian.""What a pity! You've lowered your standards, my dear" what the hell? I'm about to slap her, but then I see the smirk on her daughter's face. "I'm not saying it for you, honey, don't think you're so important," this last thing she says, looking in my direction."Don't worry, ma'am; I was never interested in studying Italian. However, I did learn Spanish, French, and German. But fate is whimsical; it took me to the arms of an Italian" take this sweetheart.

"PARTNERS IN CRIME"One month, that's how long her love for her family lasted. Just as Stefano predicted, Marella quickly grew tired of playing the self-sacrificing mother who looks out for her children's welfare and wants her home back.One day she packed her bags and left without a word while her children were at school. When they returned, they found a note on the refrigerator informing them "that she had unavoidable commitments that demanded her attention and she could no longer delay her departure."To say that Stefano was relieved not to have her under his roof is an understatement. Luciana was disappointed, as she had hoped to return to Italy, but unfortunately, that was not her mother's plan."Baby girl, do you want a snack before you go to the doctor's appointment?" asked Glorita peeking out of the door of my room."Yes, thank you," I woke up today with my spirits down. I feel exhausted; I have a

"A BET""I see that being anxious runs in the family," I tell her, placing my hand on her knee to stop her from moving her leg."I'm sorry, I'm just extremely nervous. ""Relax! The doctor will ask you a few questions, give you a lecture, and prescribe the best contraceptive method for you.""Miss Swan, you can come in now," the nurse informs me."Come on," she gets up from her chair, and I can feel a slight tremor in her hands."Good afternoon Christie," says Dr. Ramsay, "I see you are in good company. Who is this beautiful young lady?""It's...""I am Luciana, the baby's older sister," she answers, interrupting me and leaving me in complete shock."Luciana, what a beautiful name and what a nice accent you have," she blushes and smiles at him."Yes, she is my boyfriend's daughter. She is with me today because she wants to know what is the best contraceptive method," I tell the doctor, who quickly get

“From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for coming tonight to share this delicious dinner in honor of Christie and Jonathan. We know that from tomorrow their happiness will increase, to the bride and groom!” Says my father rising his champagne glass and toasting for my happiness “For the bride and groom” they all reply.After a brief farewell, I go up to my suite. The Four Seasons Hotel in Miami, my hometown, was the venue chosen for the wedding. I always wanted to get married at the beach, luckily Jonathan didn't have a problem with that. After finishing my night routine, I have one last glance at my beautiful wedding dress, I can't wait to wear it tomorrow and walk on the sand by my father's arm to the altar where the love of my life will be waiting for me. Finally, I fall asleep.I wake up confused, I hear a banging even though I don't know where it comes from. I look at the time on my cell phone and realize i

AN UNWANTED TRIPFour years later…I open my eyes reluctantly and look towards the night table where the alarm clock lies, the glowing numbers mark 5:30 am. I turn off the noisy device and let out a grunt of annoyance. I want to sleep a little bit more, but I know that if I don't get up in the next few seconds, Gloria will come and force me out of bed. Just at that moment, the door to my room opens wide, and light comes on.“Noooo! I'm melting! I’m melting!” I cry out as I cover my head with the blanket.“I've always known you're a vampire” she replies playfully. “Come on! Get up! You must be at the airport at 7:00 am, your flight leaves at 9:00 am, you will have plenty of tim

HATE AT FIRST SIGHT“Likewise, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Stefano Graziani” says the idiot in perfect English with a sexy accent.“Ah! you can speak English!” Sarcastic words come out of my mouth before I can stop them.“Of course, we all speak English” my brother-in-law intervenes, a little bit confused by my comment.“I say it is because... umm... as in the beginning you spoke to them in Italian, well...”“Oh yes, it's a family tradition, we speak Italian among us” I can see an old man looking at the idiot of the airport and laughing mischievously. Now I recognize him, he was the person to whom the prick was very distracted talking to.&

"LIFE IS SO CRUEL" It's been about two hours since I arrived in New York after a dreary weekend. I pace impatiently like a caged lion, look at my watch once more and it has only been three minutes since the last time I checked. “Miss Christie, Mr. Campbell is coming up the elevator” James informs me. “Finally,” I say, letting out the frustration I was holding in “thanks, Andrew.” A few seconds later the elevator bell rings announcing his arrival, and without even waiting for him to exit I run towards him and jump onto him, he holds me up and allowing me to wrap my legs around his waist. I start kissing him desperately, he responds in the same way. “Someone is happy to see me,” he says, interrupting the kiss. “Shut up! Le
