Aurora has been looking for her brother for hours since she arrived in California. Once her brother told her the devastating news about her friend, she wasted no time and took the fastest flight out of Chicago to California. She expected to find her brother in the hospital but was not surprised when she arrived and didn't see him there. Aurora knew what happened last time, she knew her brother could not stand to bear it, again. Aurora knew her brother must be going through hell because of what happened to her dear friend. She felt a little guilty about what happened. This is not what she wished to happen when she suggested her brother date, Andrea. Aurora only wanted her brother to be happy again after so many years, it feels like she only scarred her brother more for life.   After searching for him with no result, she finally found him in the one place she never thought to look for him. He was in a gym close to his ap

    It is Saturday today. If it was any other Saturday, I would have been on a plane to California, but not today. Today I am at a bookstore trying to find a new book to read to get inspiration for my book. I started spending a lot of my free time writing and reading again. Most of my free time was spent with Stefano. I really miss him. While I am looking through the shelves, I feel my phone vibrating. I check the caller ID, and it’s Aurora.   “Hello, Aurora,” I say answering my phone.   “How are you doing, Andrea?” She asks, a hint of worry in her voice.   Aurora has been a fantastic friend throughout my breakup. The week I moved back to Miami, she spent two weeks with me before going back to Italy. I asked her if she knew why her brother suddenly stopped having feelings for me, she said she does not know.“I am doing great, how are you?”&ldq

      It has been two weeks since I told Stefano I was pregnant. The night I told him I was pregnant, he had me move my things to his penthouse. He has been super protective of me, I know it is because of the baby. He has been excellent throughout my stay at his house. It makes me wish we were together while having our baby.   We arrived at the hospital not too long ago. I have already changed into a hospital gown; and we are waiting for the doctor to arrive so that we can have the vaginal ultrasound.   "Are we ready?" Doctor Angelina says, walking into the room. She is the English-speaking OB-GYN in Sicily, that Stefano trusts.    "Yes, we are," I say and adjust myself a little to become more comfortable in the position I am in. Stefano is beside me, once she starts working on the computers in front of her, he takes my hands in his and gives them a warm squeeze.   "

      I wake up to a slight headache. I look around me and find myself in my room.   "Andrea, how are you feeling?" Aurora says, rushing to my side.   "Other than a little headache, I am fine. Please, can I have some water" I say, my throat feeling a little parched. She hands me a glass of water from the nightstand.   "Thank you," I say, collecting the glass of water from her hand. "Why do you look like you have been crying," I ask once I finish drinking the cup of water. Her face is red, you can tell from her red nose too. She has been sniffing them a lot.   "You don't remember," Andrea says, tearing up.   "Remember what," I ask, confused as to what she is talking about.   "Stefano is…" she pauses for a second before she continues speaking. "Dead," she says bursting into tears. I freeze on the spot as I realize that what happene

    “Come, let’s get you cleaned up,” he says, releasing me from our hug, as he peels my hands off of him. He captures my hand in his and walks us to my restroom. I fall into a daze as I watch him move. It’s still unbelievable to me that he is alive. He puts the toilet seat down and asks me to sit. Once I am seated, he tries to remove my clothes.   “I can do it,” I tell him, but he stops me.   “Let me do it,” he says, calmly as I drop my hands, and I allow him. He slowly takes off my blazer and sets it aside. He carefully unbuttons my blouse and takes it off too.   “If you take off my clothes, what will I wear?” I ask.   “I asked your secretary to get you new clothes while you were shooting Vladimir multiple times.”   “You have been here since then. How come I did not notice so
