Brief Encounter

Vor fünf Jahren traf Giulia die schwerste Entscheidung ihres Lebens: Sie verließ Lorenzo, den Mann, den sie liebte, um ihn vor einem finanziellen Ruin zu bewahren, von dem er nichts wusste. Sie nahm die Rolle der Ehrgeizigen auf sich und willigte ein, einen reichen Mann zu heiraten, damit Lorenzo freiziehen konnte. Fünf Jahre später ist Lorenzo zurück. Reich, mächtig und voller Hass, demütigt er sie, indem er sie zwingt, unter seinen Befehlen zu arbeiten. Schlimmer noch: Er umwirbt ihre jüngere Schwester Chiara und hält um ihre Hand an. Giulia findet sich in einer doppelten Qual wieder: Sie muss jeden Tag die Verachtung des Mannes ertragen, den sie immer noch liebt, und gleichzeitig mit gebrochenem Herzen das scheinbare Glück ihrer eigenen Schwester mit ihm miterleben. Giulia schweigt und nimmt lieber die Rache Lorenzos auf sich, als das Glück ihrer Schwester zu zerstören. Sie trägt allein die Last ihres Opfers und ihrer ungebrochenen Liebe , bis zu dem Tag, an dem eine öffentliche Demütigung, die zu weit geht, die Wahrheit dennoch ans Licht bringt. Als ihre Schwester den Brief entdeckt, den sie nie abgeschickt hat , jenen Brief, der die ganze Wahrheit erzählt , stürzt das fragile Lügengebäude in sich zusammen. Doch für Giulia ist bereits zu viel Leid geschehen, zu viele Stille haben einen Abgrund aufgerissen. Selbst angesichts der Reue Lorenzos fragt sie sich, ob die Liebe, die noch unter der Asche ihrer Geschichte glimmt, jemals wieder neu entfacht werden kann … oder ob manche Wunden verdammen, für immer im Schatten zu lieben.

Dad attends a banquet with his ex-girlfriend, and they make headlines. Everyone mocks Mom for this, saying that she hasn't gotten anything out of her relationship with Dad. They make fun of her for giving up her successful career for his sake to end up with nothing—she can't even tell a homewrecker off. Mom looks at me tiredly after bawling her eyes out. "He let me down first, so I don't want him anymore. Do you want to leave with me, Rosie?" Just then, my phone pings. I've received a text from my boyfriend of seven years. "I'm just going through the motions and registering my marriage with someone else, Rosalie. You'll still be my girlfriend!" After a brief silence, I nod and tell Mom I'll leave with her. On the day of the double weddings, Mom and I disappear after a fire at our villa.

Only a quick touch and it made me groan, she was soaked. Her face just turned redded, but as my fingers rested against her thigh, she exhaled and parted her legs a little bit for me.

In meinem vorigen Leben veranstaltete mein Bruder nur deshalb eine Nacht mit Sternschnuppen für seine Geliebte, weil sie den Wunsch geäußert hatte, welche zu sehen. Also fuhr er mit all seinen Leibwächtern aufs Land, um ihr diesen Wunsch zu erfüllen. Unglücklicherweise nutzten die Feinde, die mein Bruder ruiniert hatte, die Gelegenheit und brachen in unser Haus ein, um Rache zu nehmen und unsere Familie auszulöschen. Meine Mutter beschützte mich unter Aufopferung ihres eigenen Lebens, wurde schwer verletzt und schwebte zwischen Leben und Tod. Ich rief meinen Bruder mehrmals an und flehte ihn an, sofort zurückzukehren und uns zu retten. Schließlich kam er unwillig mit seinen Leibwächtern zurück. Die Feinde wurden gefasst, doch da erreichte uns eine tragische Nachricht vom Land. Seine Geliebte hatte einen Abschiedsbrief hinterlassen und war verschwunden, ihr Schicksal war ungewiss. In dem Brief warf sie mir vor, ich hätte absichtlich meinen Bruder weggelockt. Dadurch sei sie in die Hände der Feinde gefallen, wurde gefoltert und habe deshalb Selbstmord begangen. Mein Bruder verbrannte gleichgültig ihren Brief und sagte mir, ich solle mir nichts daraus machen. Danach wurde meinem Bruder die Schuld gegeben, und mein Vater versprach mir, die Leitung des Familienunternehmens zu überlassen. Doch nach dem Jubelbankett wurde ich in meinem Schlafzimmer von meinem Bruder grausam getötet. Ohne jede Regung sagte er kalt: „So eine giftige Person wie du hätte schon lange sterben sollen.“ „Du hättest sterben sollen, und das Familienerbe gehört mir!“ Voll bitterer Groll starb ich. Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, war vor dem Villa das Geräusch von eindringenden Feinden zu hören, die die Tür aufbrachen.

Our daughter was diagnosed with a genetic illness. To save her, my husband founded a charity in her name. To raise the funds, he pushed himself to the brink—working three hundred days straight, surviving on three hours of sleep a night. His relentless drive moved countless people. The media hailed him as "Father of the Year." Everyone congratulated me on having such a devoted partner. Then came the day he rallied the entire nation, securing pledges for millions in donations to fund our daughter's cure. At the gala, with over ten million dollars moments from being transferred, I suddenly hit the pause button. "And now, we'll take a brief intermission for a signing," I announced. The room erupted. They shouted at me, called me selfish, a monster. My husband stared at me, utterly stunned. "Have you lost your mind? Children around the world are waiting on this money to survive! What in God's name are you talking about?" I lifted my gaze to meet his. "A divorce agreement."
