I remained static when I realized that I had spoken more than I should have, I looked at him, and he was staring at me waiting for my answer, I had to look for a quick way out in my mind and when I found it, I immediately said:“W-well, I began nervously because I-I must have energy f-for these walks you make me take. He smiled and kissed me, then we got up and walked to the city hall, then to the church of San Domenico".When we arrived at the hotel, I felt very sick, and so I spent two days with vomiting and dizziness, so we could not leave, and he stayed taking care of me with such tenderness and care, which made my tears come to my eyes. He wanted to call the doctor, but I prevented him from doing so, I attributed my discomfort to the fact that the ice cream we had eaten had made me sick.I did not dare to tell him the truth, and I was afraid that he would find out the reasons because I felt that it was not yet the time to confess the truth, and I was afraid of his reaction, as Ni

My heart was racing, I felt like it was going to come out of my mouth and although it seemed like a dream come true I couldn't help but remain completely silent for a while, I thought that maybe I had heard wrong. However, I turned my face to him, and he kept waiting for my answer, but instead of an affirmative or negative answer coming out of my mouth, I couldn't help but question his request."Nick: Are you bipolar?" I asked, worried that his proposition was due to some temporary situation."No, my love. I've never been so sure of anything in my life. You are the woman I've always been looking for, the one I've always hoped for, the one I want to share, my heart beats faster when you're near. I'm crazy about you, I think you occupy more than ninety percent of my thoughts, I can't stop thinking about you and imagining you, I can't conceive my future if it's not with you. My emotions constantly rise and fall. But More, answer me, do you want to marry me? What does your silence mean?"

I was nervous, I thought he would back out, and I closed my eyes just waiting for his refusal, when I felt his knuckles on my cheek caressing me.“ You are mine, Sophi! Only mine, never forget it, what's mine I don't share, I will never leave you! “He exclaimed in a passionate and possessive tone.We then joined hands and Nick pronounced his vows: “I, Nickólas Philipo Sebastini Papandreu, take you Sophìa Alexandra Madrid Peralta as my only and lawful wedded wife, I give myself to you in body, soul and heart and promise to be faithful to you in sickness and in health, in fortune and in hardship, in moments of joy and in anguish, I promise to love, protect and care for you for the rest of my life and until my last moment of life on this earth and even beyond my death," he said, looking at me with an intensity that made multiple butterflies flutter in my stomach as he placed the ring on my finger.I, Sophia Alexandra Madrid Peralta, accept and receive you, Nickolas Philipo Sebastini Papa

We were sitting by the pool having some refreshing drinks, when Nick received a call from his company's head office in Rome, informing him of a problem that had arisen at one of his construction company's branches in London, where his presence was urgently required, apparently there had been a construction accident that had left several workers injured.Although we still had several days left to finish our honeymoon, we had to suspend it and prepare our return. Nick, since you are going to London, I would like to go to Barcelona to visit my family, so as not to stay alone in Florence, it is a city I don't know at all, besides I will be surrounded by strangers" I proposed, but by his gesture I knew that the idea was not to his liking.“Sophia, you have learned to move sufficiently in Florence, besides, how are you going to know the people if you don't share with them, I consider that it is not a good idea for you to go to Spain, your place is in Italy, in our home and there you must wa

I had spent that couple of days with vomiting, dizziness, added to the deep sadness that nestled in my heart. Mauro, worried about my condition, convinced me to go to the doctor and although at first, I refused, after listening to him, I ended up accepting because in my fourteen weeks of pregnancy I had only gone for a check” up once, after I heard the news.My brother called the health center himself and made an appointment with a gynecologist and, not satisfied with that, he accompanied me to my first ultrasound.The doctor told me that everything was perfect, I had entered the fifteenth week, she sent me vitamins and gave me a couple of pictures of my baby's echo, both Mauro and I were excited.As we left the clinic, he grabbed my face and kissed me, saying: "Princess of my heart, you make me the happiest man in the world, I'm going to have a nephew, I'm going to be an uncle!
