Dominique celebrated the fact that Antonella had agreed to work with Benjamin, but she still had little reason to smile. Still feverish and in pain, she had no choice but to work with the man she hated just to ensure a decent future for Adam.

“It’s a shame that Benjamin is going to marry that shrew of a sister of yours,” she said, sipping a glass of wine sitting in front of the fireplace, but the alcohol was starting to take its toll. “Today is their engagement party, and I wasn’t even invited.”

“Engagement party?” Antonella stood up, annoyed. “It’s only been two days since my mother died, and they’re throwing a party?”

“Don’t get carried away, Antonella,” Dominique sneered at her pain, although that wasn’t his actual intention; “this engagement was scheduled before your mother died.”

“They should have called it off then,” she hurried ac

    “Calm down, Alessia.” His piercing voice brought Antonella back to reality. She was lying near the couch, her head spinning so fast it felt like she was on a massive roller coaster. She felt a liquid trickling down her forehead, and only when she touched the wound with her fingers did she realize it was blood.“Damn it! Her head was throbbing, and she couldn’t get up.”She felt Benjamim’s hands lifting her, holding her face, while she couldn’t even open her eyes properly.“Antonella,” his voice seemed distant; she could not respond to anything he was saying, “I’m taking you to a hospital.”“You’re not doing anything,” he drawled as he sat Antonella down on the couch and, turning to Alessia, began to speak in a threatening tone.“Remember that you’re only my fiancée and that you don’t give me orders.” His tone was arrogant and col

    Benjamin spun on his heels and entered the office without waiting for the women to follow him. When Antonella found herself alone with Dominique, she wanted to grab her by the neck and strangle her to death.“I asked you to keep your mouth shut,” she whispered, yet her words conveyed all her displeasure with Dominique.“I’m sorry, how could I have known he was behind us, listening to everything?”Dominique felt palpitations, as if her heart were failing. She closed her eyes as if intending to forget what had just happened, beginning to regret having accepted that job.“Pray he didn’t hear anything,” she said, looking into Dominique’s eyes again, “because I’ll have to flee this city once more.”Dominique felt the guilt consume her entirely until she heard Benjamin’s voice for the second time. He was not a man who needed to issue the same command twice. But there he was aga

    Benjamim ran after Antonella, and although she heard his call, she ignored him for the tenth time, getting into the Chevette and speeding away.Benjamim stood in the middle of the street, watching the car as it became more distant, while trying to catch his breath. It had been a long time since he had chased after a woman. It had been a long time since a woman had run away from him, like Antonella had been doing.Frustrated at not catching up to her, he got into his Mercedes and drove to try to catch up with her. There was no sign of Antonella’s or Dominique’s old car on the city streets. He changed course, driving toward the address Dominique had given the company as her residence.When he parked the car, he found the place strange, as it appeared to be abandoned. Tall weeds surrounded the entire residence, and there were no lights on. Benjamin punched the air when he realized someone had deceived him.His phone vibrated in his pants po

    In his luxurious downtown office, Benjamin Dylon kept his cell phone in his hand while his lost gaze indicated that, although he was present, his mind was wandering to completely unknown places.He didn’t notice when the secretary came in with his appointment reminders for that day. Caroline also took care of his personal agenda, and, when she informed him about the event that evening, Benjamin snapped back to reality as if someone were pulling him back.What did you say? He asked, dropping his cell phone and looking at the girl.“You have dinner at Alessia’s tonight,” she confirmed, making Benjamin scratch his head with concern. “I know you asked to cancel because of Francesca’s funeral, but Enrico wouldn’t allow it. He called this morning to confirm your presence.”Benjamin stood up, straightening his jacket, thinking of a way to postpone the problem. It was his engagement dinner. He was planning to ask the family for Alessia’s hand officially, just forty-eight hours after Francesca

    “An entire day spent walking around the city wasn’t enough for Antonella to find a job. She handed out resumes and talked to the store owners, but the doors closed soon after.She tried to understand why it seemed so difficult to get a job in that city, but she found no answers. Antonella was too tired to think, and hunger made her irritable. She called Dominique, asking her to come pick her up. Although Dominique wanted to know everything that had happened on that chaotic day, Antonella didn’t say a word until she finally got into the car.‘How is Adam?’ The question, although normal for a mother, made Dominique a little uneasy.‘He’s great!’ She glanced at her before starting the car and pulling away. ‘Please tell me you have good news.’‘I don’t have good news,’ she said, biting her lips in frustration. ‘Every door in this city seems closed to me. My feet are full of blisters from walking so much and not finding a single opportunity.’Dominique found that very strange. After all, A
