During the journey to where Georgia believed little Thomas was, the woman was absorbed, looking out the window. However, despite the wonderful landscape they were leaving behind, which she liked very much, her mind was immersed in Thomas and the guilt she felt for not accompanying him. Everything the little boy had told her was true. He had asked for her help because he needed it, and yet she hadn't granted it to him.Thomas simply wanted to make sure his father was okay, and yet she didn't even allow herself to give him the benefit of the doubt to verify the truthfulness of the child's words.For a few seconds, the woman placed her hand on her belly, gently caressing it, while intrusive thoughts tormented her, telling her that, just as she had been cruel to Thomas, she would also be cruel to her own child. What if what was happening was a sign from destiny? She questioned herself, considering the possibility that the entire pregnancy was a mistake.She still had time to do something

At Georgia's house, Domenico, who had arrived a few minutes ago, was completely frantic due to her absence. While it was true that she left him a note on the table, the note wasn't clear enough for him to be at ease. In fact, he was agitated, furious, and worried - a whirlwind of emotions in his chest, with the only one missing being tranquility. The man simply needed to see her again, he needed to see her walking into the house and returning to him. He knew that if Georgia fell back into Alessandro's clutches, it would be harder for him to keep her by his side. Besides, he was starting to grow tired of this futile game.Georgia was making things very complicated for Domenico. She was making him beg for something he didn't even want. He didn't want to be her boyfriend; he didn't want to take care of her or protect her. He only desired power; he needed her to play on his side so that he could have a position within his criminal organization. Georgia could go to hell if she wanted to, i

Arriving at the adoption agency's office, Georgia felt a bit embarrassed. Somehow, she felt guilty knowing that everyone in that institution knew she was there because she wanted to give away her child. She had to suppress that thought before it hindered her from achieving her goal there."My name is Georgia Alcott. I have an appointment with Leslie. She's expecting me," she said, her voice trembling."Of course, just give me a minute," the secretary stood up and went to her boss's office. In the meantime, Georgia sat in the waiting room.She looked around and noticed a giant mural on one of the main walls of the building. It summarized the successful adoption stories, featuring photos of families with their babies. Next to each image were messages from the couples expressing how much those babies had changed their lives.Georgia approached the mural and read some of the messages, thinking about how lucky those couples were. Despite not being able to have babies, they could give some

Georgia, who was already feeling a bit better, tightly grasped Domenico's hand, grateful that he was by her side during those difficult moments for her."I'm here for you," he said, giving her a kiss on the forehead, behaving like the knight in shining armor he really wasn't.Both of them waited until the doctor entered the room to provide them with the diagnosis and necessary recommendations for Georgia's specific case."Doctor, I'm worried about my pregnancy. What's happening? Why did I feel so unwell?" she asked for an explanation after greeting the doctor."You have a high-risk pregnancy, Mrs. Alcott," the man said. "That means you have a higher probability of experiencing complications during pregnancy or childbirth due to certain risk factors.""What kind of complications?"

Engagement celebrations, pregnancies, prenatal care, diapers, maternity clothing, dresses for expectant mothers, and sparkling diamond rings. Who would have imagined that all these things would become a part of Georgia's life as she prepared to attend her engagement party? As if it were truly a surprise and not an event she had helped plan and organize herself!Because yes, on that night, Georgia and Domenico would be getting engaged in front of the few important people in their lives. Valery and her boyfriend would be there, along with some close friends of Domenico who were really just restaurant employees he cared about. There would be no family from Georgia, as she had none, and none from Domenico either, as he insisted that his family lived far away. He assured Georgia that he wanted the ceremony to be as private as possible.Georgia wasn't really concerned about the number of guests at her wedding. In fact, it was a relief because she knew that night would be particularly diffic
