Chapter 21. Shattered life.

Matthew Anderson.The minute Stephanie threw the photographs in my face, I knew I had destroyed our entire life. I look closely at the images and my brain desperately wants to answer what I’m seeing: who is she? Where was this? Why don’t I remember? It took me a minute to realize my terrible mistake. Guilt and remorse wash over me. I came here to clarify the content of the photos that arrived at my house, where she appeared to be hugged by a guy, but I never believed that I would become the cause of our breakup.I see everything like in slow motion. She confronts me and since I can’t defend myself; she slaps me and walks away. My soul desperately wants to ask for her forgiveness, but my feet refuse to walk after her, as if my body knows the terrible mistake I have made. I stood at that door for a few minutes until the wedding planner came to pick her up. She remains pale looking at the empty room; the photos scattered everywhere and me looking at nothing.I see her leaving the room

Chapter 22. Open your eyes, babe.

Stephanie Miller.I stood silently staring at my laptop screen, unable to articulate a single thought or word. Vincenzo stands still behind me, his hands on my shoulders, and I feel his grip tighten. I breathe quickly and notice that my heart is beating fast. I clear my throat and touch his hand as I say, “Are you okay?” He seems to snap out of his shock and responds, “yes, I am, although I should be the one asking you that. Are you okay?”I sigh, still looking at the screen. I tell him, “Can you leave me alone, Vicenzo?” He tells me, “I’ll be in the living room, in case you need me, baby.” Then, he kisses my head and leaves the office. I sigh again, deciding if I should open that email or not. Inside my stomach, thousands of butterflies beat their wings at the same time, while my heart seems to have a life of its own. Three months have passed since I last saw the man, I thought was the man of my life, my traveling partner.Without further ado, I decided to open it. For a moment,

Chapter 23. A stranger, known.

Stephanie Miller. Half an hour after cutting off communication with Lilly, she called me again to let me know that Mr. Lombardo underwent surgery. I look at the time and I'm worried that Vicenzo hasn't arrived yet. I dial his phone number, but it sounds busy. I decided to send him a voice message. “Vicenzo, I called you, but it seems you're busy. I'm letting you know that my patient decided to undergo the operation and I'm already taking a cab to the institute.""Most likely I won't get home and stay the night there. I'm calling you to not worry or wait for me. I love you." I sighed and put my phone in my pocket. I fix my things and the cab is outside waiting for me. When there were just over five minutes left to get to the institute, Vicenzo called me. "Babe? Forgive me for not answering sooner, but I was solving an important issue. I listened to your message and I'm on my way to the institute.""I will wait for your operation to finish and take you home, since I will not let yo

Chapter 24. A half-truth.

Stephanie Miller. When I saw that the six feet tall man, dressed in a custom-made Armani suit, gray-haired, well-preserved for his sixty-five years, with the same blue eyes as his nephew, turns around and my eyes widen, surprised at seeing him.I thought I would have a heart attack. Fear flowed through my veins and made me freeze in my space, gripped by terror. Lilly clears her throat, saying, “Excuse me, are you related to Mr. Lombardo?” Tom, Matthew’s uncle, snaps out of his state of shock and says, “Raul Lombardo is my husband.""We got married a month ago, without telling our families anything. His children are unaware of our nuptials, and we prefer to keep it that way.” He looked at Lilly with a cold and menacing gaze, making the poor thing move nervously in her place. Hearing him say that gave me the courage to face him, knowing that he was sharing his secret. I clear my throat and say, “Nice to see you, Tom. As always, you never disappoint.” I see how he laughs and says,

Chapter 25. The past wants to catch up with me.

Stephanie Miller.When Tom asked me how long I had been friends with Vincenzo, my mind went blank. The only thing I could do was remain silent and watch as my handsome friend walked in our direction.Vincenzo, noticing that Tom was accompanying me, stopped for a moment and then caught up with us, saying, “Tom, I haven’t seen you in a long time. What brings you here?”“Hum… It’s funny that you asked me, since I could ask you the same thing. As I remember, you are very far from home, Enzo.”I frown as I say “Enzo?”Tom turns to look at me, saying, “Oh my God, dear. Don’t tell me you’ve been in this place all this time, accompanied by him, and you still don’t know his nickname.""Matt gave him that nickname, since he felt that calling him Vicenzo was very gangster style. His reasons always made us laugh.”His words cause my face to heat up, blushing at not knowing this information. Vincenzo clears his throat, saying, “In her defense, I never told her.”“And I ask myself, why not?” I tell

Chapter 26. Necessary phone call.

Stephanie Miller.After the operation, we got home, and Enzo left me in my room. Despite how tired I feel, I can’t get everything out of my mind about what happened and especially what Tom told me. My heart is pumping so fast, and my palms feel clammy with nervousness, while my feet run through every corner of the room.I bite my lip, wondering if what I want to do is the right thing, but what options do I have left? I can’t let Matt come to this country looking for me. He can’t see me. Not now.I sigh and resign myself to my decision. I look for my cell phone and, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, I slowly dial the numbers that make up his phone number. My heart beats madly and thousands of butterflies fly in my stomach, eager to hear his voice.At the fourth beep, I hear a cold, hoarse voice answer me, saying, “Hello? Who is it? How did you get this number?” I stay silent, listening to him. I sigh and say, “Hi Matt.”His voice quickly changes to one of extreme co

Chapter 27. Imminent arrival.

Stephanie Miller.Four months later…After the last phone conversation with Matt, in which he promised to leave me alone, he delivered. Enzo says that there has been no type of hacking, so he leaves me calm as he has kept his word. Life has become quite peaceful during these months, where I stopped operating because I developed preeclampsia, making my pregnancy at high risk.Marie and Enzo agreed it was best for me to stay in bed, to which I agreed. I have tried to do everything on my part so these babies can develop in the best way. As expected, they are just as stubborn as their parents, so neither has shown themselves, leaving me intrigued as to their gender.I keep calling them by numbers. Everyone who comes to visit me laughs when I call them that, but what else am I going to do? If I don’t know their sexes, I can’t give them names. The girls are traveling to spend these last few days with me, since the arrival of these babies is imminent.“Everything okay, baby?”“Yeah. What

Chapter 28. Birth.

Stephanie Miller The screams from the car are undeniable. The contractions are becoming more frequent, and the pain is so intense, I think it will split me in two. It’s like they tear my insides and what’s left catches fire. I sit on the edge of the seat, digging my nails into the edge, while I can’t stop screaming and crying. I try to count how long the contraction lasts, but the pain is so much that it doesn’t let me focus on anything more than that. Stuart watches me, from time to time, in the rearview mirror, with great concern, since he has never seen me in this state. He was my father’s driver, who sent him with me so I could have someone I knew and not feel so alone. With his tender and compassionate eyes, he tells me, “Breathe, Miss Miller, just don’t stop breathing.” Without avoiding it, I yelled angrily, “IT’S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY IT! You don’t have three living beings that want to come out through a small hole! This defies all-natural law, damn it!” I watch as Mildred

Chapter 29. Loss.

Stephanie Miller.I wake up slowly and feel like I’ve been hit by a train. I have no notion of time or space. Slowly, I remember where and why I am here.I open my eyes wide and see how Mark takes me by the shoulders, immobilizing me. “Steph, I need you to calm down, okay?”I breathe quickly, but nod in silence. “Good girl. Now, I need you to try moving your toes.”I frown and do as he tells me. I look at his face and ask, “Are they moving?” He looks back at me, sighs, and a relieved smile takes over his face as he tells me, “yes, they’re moving.”“Why were you so afraid, Mark? What happened?” He sighs and tells me, “Let me set up the stretcher for you. Meanwhile, your entire gang is waiting outside.”“Mark, where are my children?”Finish arranging my stretcher so that I can semi-sitting. He tells me, “Try not to talk too much. You just had major surgery and it will hurt for a long time.”“Mark, answer the question. Where are my children?”I watch as Enzo, Amelia and Emily enter the

Chapter 30. My son.

Matthew Anderson.Months have passed since the last time I spoke with Stephanie and there has not been a day when I have not thought of her. I continually wonder if she is resting, if she needs help, or if ever thinks about me...I sigh, sitting in my office chair, looking out the large window, as the vibrant city that emerges before my view continues living without stopping.I close my eyes and the memories dance in my head. Steph is present in every single one of them. I can see her beautiful smile, hear her intelligent comments. I still remember the smell of her hair or the softness of her skin. There are so many memories that make my heart hurt.A knock on the door brings me out of my memories.“Come in!”I watch as my secretary enters the office with a smile on her face. I frown, annoyed, as I say, “What are you doing here? You know perfectly well that at this hour, no one can enter my office.”Her eyes widen as she says, “I’m very sorry, Mr. Anderson, but these documents require
