"Goodbye, Alessandro," were the last words the woman said before leaving the house without looking back.Alessandro didn't respond to her farewell, partly because he knew it was wrong and partly because he didn't know what else to say. After all, he had already told her everything he felt she needed to hear. Of course, there were some things he had omitted, like the truth about Georgia's father, but he couldn't bring himself to tell her yet. It wasn't because he had something to hide, but because, contrary to what she and everyone around her thought, he only wanted to protect her.Alessandro closed the door, returned to the room, and poured himself a double whiskey, which he drank slowly while thinking about the situation he had tried to fix numerous times but had failed. Very few things in Alessandro's life had been beyond his control, and Georgia was undoubtedly part of that list.She was a whirlwind he had been warned about a long time ago, one he couldn't control, and then she ent

"Grandma! Grandma, react!" Despite her pregnant condition, Georgia knelt down and cradled her grandmother's head on her lap, trying to revive her. "Bring me some alcohol," she asked Doménico.The man shook his head. "That won't help, Georgia. You shouldn't worry so much. I'm already calling emergency services," he said, trying to remain calm.The truth was, Doménico was tired of dealing with Grandma Bianca. While she had been a crucial pillar in his plan, it was damn annoying to have to constantly take care of her. The woman was nothing more than a nuisance who would no longer serve him fully since he had already made her do what he needed. In one way or another, Grandma had turned the situation to her advantage, and as far as he was concerned, he no longer needed her."Don't tell me to calm down! Her pulse is too slow, and even though I'm not a doctor, I'm sure this isn't the normal speed," Georgia said, deeply worried.Georgia was extremely concerned, especially considering the woma

"Let me tell her, Doctor," said Doménico, approaching the physician, who also didn't want to deliver such news to Georgia, who was pregnant on top of everything else."What news? What do you have to tell me?" Georgia's heart began to race, compelling her to fully sit up in the chairs. "What do you have to tell me? Why aren't either of you saying anything?" she asked, desperate because she wasn't getting the answers as quickly as she felt she needed them.The doctor sighed, and Doménico pretended to gather enough courage to deliver the news."Georgia, unfortunately, your grandmother has passed away," said the man.For a couple of seconds, everything blurred for Georgia. She couldn't believe that what Doménico was telling her was true. Somehow, it felt as if her brain hadn't truly processed that information. It couldn't be. Bianca was in a good hospital; they were supposed to treat her to get better."No," she shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "What you're saying can't be tr

"I want to leave here now," said Georgia, unable to bear being there any longer. She simply wanted to lock herself in her room and cry over everything she couldn't control, everything that hurt her and she could no longer recover. The woman wasn't going to wait for a response from Domenico; she would wait for him inside the car if she had to. Her sole purpose was to escape from that situation, with or without him. So she turned around, ready to leave.Before she could even take a step towards the exit, she stood still, seeing the man standing there, his hands in the pockets of a black suit, as if showing respect for the whole situation.Upon seeing him, every dormant feeling within Georgia stirred. Fury, adrenaline, and contempt began to fill her veins.For a moment, Alessandro felt pleased that she was walking towards him. After everything that happened, he believed she would simply ignore him and avoid talking to him. But it seemed that the opposite was about to happen because there

"The boss has had a car accident," said Alessandro's chauffeur, who had answered the phone call from the police informing them of what had happened."We have to be there for him. The boss doesn't have anyone else," said the leader of the house security team. "He is completely alone, and we, his employees, are all he has."The chauffeur knew that wasn't entirely true. He knew that even though she wasn't present at that specific moment, Georgia was one of the people Alessandro relied on, regardless of her tantrums and her saying she wanted to be away. Of course, at that time, the man didn't know the turmoil Georgia was going through."What happened to my daddy?" asked Thomas, who was playing with his toy cars nearby, overhearing everything."Your daddy is in the hospital, little one. He had a car accident," explained the chauffeur, crouching down to the child's eye level, tears welling up in his eyes."We have to go see him. We can't leave him alone," Thomas exclaimed, worried. "Daddy c
