CHAPTER 26
"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 getRelated chapters
THE TASTE OF SIN PROLOGUE
“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

“DECLARATION OF WAR”“You're ready, Chris. You look absolutely beautiful,” says Rashid, my hairstylist, and slowly I turn around to look up at myself in the mirror to admire his artwork. Whenever he does my hair and makeup I feel like a supermodel.“Good job, as always.”“Say it, honey, say it.”“You're the best,” I say, rolling my eyes.“I know!”“You're being vain” he shrugs walking to the other side of my closet to get my dress, unzips the holster where it is, and puts on a very disappointed expression.“What”“Are you going to wear this?” she asks, pointing to the beautiful pink dress with crystals embroidere

PREJUDICEIt's been a week since I disagreement with Graziani, I must say we haven't talked to each other except when strictly necessary, yesterday he moved into his new office, unfortunately, it is the closest to mine, we have yet to find an assistant for him because I can't continue sharing Alena, I expect that to be ready today. I'm really annoyed by the familiarity they have with each other and her giggle every time he tells one of his lame jokes.I reach the office to find a completely deserted floor, I look at my wristwatch and it reads 8:10 in the morning, perhaps there was some apocalyptic event that I didn't even know about? I walk to the kitchen area and I find Maggie, who is very distracted prep
THE TASTE OF SIN CHAPTER 6
A MAJOR MISTAKEMy office door slams shut, I suddenly look up to see Alena laughing so hard and grabbing her sides, curiosity takes over me, what has happened now? last week Graziani hired his new assistant, sin then my beloved company has turned into a circus.“Could you tell me what's going on?”“Stefano is about to hang himself from the lamp” he pauses “Reni” she says her name in a squeaky pitch “she's not getting anything right, but something about her doesn't seem to fit, it's like she's doing it on purpose. As if she's trying to be a failure.”“How can you be sure?”“For God's sake, Chris! No one can be such an idiot in life. Stefano requested her to order him a salad with no onions and a vinaigrette instead of mayonnaise, and she did the opposite.”“So, Graziani is having problems,” I laugh, “well, I'm

NOTHING HAPPENED“Christie, what are you doing there?”“Oh, my God Gloria, you nearly gave me a heart attack!”“I'm sorry my darling” she looks at me suspiciously “I was just curious about seeing you in front of the elevator so early this morning and in a bathrobe.”“It's... it's... I couldn't sleep anymore, yes, and... and... and... and I had a walk to clear my mind, but Aww! I guess I'll go back to bed” I say, exaggerating a yawn.“To bed? But it's after six in the morning, aren't you going to the office?”“No! Um... I mean... I'll go later, I have a terrible headache, I'd rather go to bed.”“Do you want me
