The Unseen Husband Episode 8: Getting to Know Each Other
THE FAMILY QUARTERS - MORNING (DAY TWO)Alessia woke to sunlight streaming through windows—real glass windows, not the small, dirty opening in the attic room she'd grown accustomed to. For a moment, she forgot where she was.Then it all came rushing back.The train. The capital. The barracks. Sebastian.Her husband was the Commander of the Royal Guard.She sat up slowly, looking around the bedroom. It was simple but comfortable—a real bed with clean sheets, a wardrobe, a washstand with fresh water. Luxury beyond anything she'd known in five years.From the next room, she heard children's voices. Excited. Happy.She wrapped a robe around herself—one that had been left for her, far too fine for someone like her—and went to investigate.The children were in the main sitting room, and Sebastian was with them.He was sitting on the floor in his undershirt and trousers, his Commander's uniform jacket draped over a chair. Dante was showing him how to stack wooden blocks—toys that had appeare

THE COMMANDER'S OFFICE - CONTINUEDThe door closed behind Ferrara, leaving Alessia alone in the office with Sebastian and the children.The silence was deafening.Sebastian stood behind his desk, still in his full Commander's uniform, his expression one of shock and disbelief. Alessia stood near the door, her children clinging to her, her mind still reeling.The kind officer from the train.Her husband.The Commander of the Royal Guard.All the same person."This is a mistake," Alessia said, her voice shaking. "You can't be Sebastian Russo. My Sebastian Russo."Sebastian stared at her, his face pale. "You're Alessia. From the village. The woman on the train.""Yes, but—" Alessia's mind was spinning. "You're the Commander. My husband is just an officer. A lieutenant or something. Not—""I am Sebastian Russo," he said slowly. "Commander of the Royal Guard. Married five years ago in a village ceremony."Alessia's legs felt weak. "On the train, you talked about your wife. Your absent wife

THE ROYAL GUARD COMPLEX - MORNINGAlessia stood before the massive gates of the Royal Guard complex, her heart pounding so hard she could hear it in her ears.The building was imposing—all stone and iron, flags bearing the royal crest snapping in the morning breeze. Guards in pristine uniforms stood at attention at every entrance. Officers moved with purpose through the courtyards visible beyond the gates.This was where Sebastian worked. Where he'd been for five years while she struggled alone."Mama, I'm scared," Lucia whispered, pressing against her side."It's alright, little bird. We're just going to talk to Papa.""Will he be happy to see us?" Dante asked, his young face serious and worried.Alessia's heart broke. "I hope so, love. I really hope so."She straightened her worn dress, smoothed her hair, and approached the gate with her children.A guard stepped forward, his expression professional but skeptical as he took in her appearance—the shabby dress, the thin children, her
The Unseen Husband Episode 5: The Capital
THE TRAIN STATION - NIGHTThe station was chaos.People everywhere—pushing, shouting, rushing in all directions. Vendors hawking food and trinkets. Porters hauling luggage. The noise was overwhelming after the relative quiet of the countryside.Alessia held Lucia in her arms while Dante and Marco clung to her skirts, all three children wide-eyed with fear and exhaustion."Stay close," the officer said, his hand on her elbow, gently guiding them through the crowd. His other officers formed a loose protective circle around them, keeping the worst of the jostling crowd at bay.Alessia had never been more grateful for anyone in her life.They made their way through the massive station—all marble and iron, grander than anything she'd ever seen. Gas lamps cast everything in golden light. The ceiling soared impossibly high above them."This way," the officer directed, leading them toward the exit.But before they could reach it, another officer approached, saluting sharply. "Sir, the prisone

AFTERMATH - THE TRAIN CARThe bandits were bound and removed to another car under guard. The injured passengers were being tended to. The car slowly returned to an uneasy calm, though everyone was still shaken.Alessia sat with her children pressed against her, all three refusing to let go. She was still trembling, the feel of the knife at her throat haunting her."Mama, I was so scared," Marco whispered, his face buried in her side."I know, love. I know." She stroked his hair, trying to keep her own fear from showing. "But we're safe now.""That man saved you," Dante said, his voice serious beyond his four years. "The soldier.""Yes. He did."Lucia was quiet, her thumb in her mouth—a habit she only reverted to when very frightened. Her other hand clutched Alessia's dress in a death grip.Alessia held them and tried to slow her racing heart. She'd come so close to dying. To leaving them orphaned. To never reaching Sebastian, never telling him the truth."Excuse me."She looked up. Th
The Unseen Husband Episode 3: The Journey Begins
DAWN - THE RUSSO HOUSEHelena stood at the window of her sitting room, watching the sun rise over the village. Her tea had gone cold in her hands.They were gone.She'd checked Alessia's room an hour ago—empty. The children's room—empty. Their meager belongings packed and taken."Mother?" Tomasso appeared in the doorway, still in his dressing gown. "What's wrong?""That girl has taken the children and left.""Left? Where would she go? She has no money—""To the capital." Helena's voice was tight. "To find Sebastian."Tomasso paled. "But if she tells him—""I know what she'll tell him." Helena set down her teacup with precise control. "The question is whether he'll believe her.""Of course he won't! You've been sending him letters for five years. He trusts you.""Sebastian trusts evidence." Helena turned from the window. "And she'll have that marriage certificate. She might even have..." She stopped, her mind racing. "The letters. Did she take anything from my study?"They rushed to He
