VALENTINA TOMMASO

After our celebrations, the hugs, and kisses of the family. Grandma held my waist, gave the name to my face and all happy.

"Congratulations, Valentina, you deserve it.

"Grandma thank you for everything and let's celebrate.

"Really? I thought you might want to celebrate on your own. Enzo said laughing. Enzo hits him and we leave.

"Let's have dinner at our favorite restaurant. And he, all happy, held my hand. "Now it's official and I don't take no for an answer.

"I'm still wondering if you behave.

He hugs me and we came to the restaurant, he ordered champagne, everyone smiling, happy, and I stood there looking at everyone and remembering everything I've been through, everything I've lost, everything I've lived, everything I've stopped living. I couldn't believe I got this far, I couldn't believe I was getting my life back. Smiling and raised the glass.

"I toast my family, to love, to life, and to God because I am here breathing again and have the chance to be with the man I love.

"Oh, now it's like that, right? Carol screams smiling.

"Carol, thank you for being by my side always.

"We are more than a friend, we are sisters, always.

"Enzo raised the cup and said, I toast life, the chance to be here again with you, because I found myself dead inside that cave, but also inside I ended up discovering things that I needed to do and that I still did not realize. Sometimes we give values in things that are of no use. And the one being important to us, we ended up not giving importance. So, I toast my family, to my love, to the woman I love. And congratulations, the greatest jewelry designer.

Thank you, thank you.

He hugs me smiling and I never believed I could achieve peace alongside a real family.

"And our celebration will be after the wedding.

"You'll hold out, Enzo.

"I promise i will and I won't do anything wrong now, I'll do everything right.

We stayed there with the family and soon left after our celebrations with family and friends. We go home together after what we've been through, we don't let each other go. I fell asleep in my thoughts and saw in my dream the only thing I lacked.

I missed my mother and my baby and cried, not of sadness, but of joy and was fulfilling a dream, a project, a life. I was living, my father, now imprisoned, and I here, ready to be happy with the

The days go by so fast, the rain came again, and there I was, waiting for Enzo to go to the company. When he knocked on the door, I opened a smile and he wet laughed.

"Really? yes, I think it's time you gave me a key, don't you?

"I'm going to think about your request. laugh.

That day, the day of the presentation of the international project, between several companies and the company of the representative Enzo, was going to be responsible for this.

"Mr. Moretti, they've all arrived.

"We are going Meire and thank you.

"Let's go to the lion's den. I said nervous.

It was going to be a great day for the company, all the companies and looking there, all gathered at the table, I kept seeing how humiliated I was in this place. How much I was left behind and my projects renegade.

But today, I'm here, by the front door and being given a standing ovation by all of them. And everyone fighting over a contract with me. I looked at Enzo again.

"Thank you all. It's a very important time for all companies, and for me too. So, we can do a project together. Who knows, a big campaign I have new ideas for a one-sided project and so we're going to hold a festival to find new designs what do you think?

" Of course, yes, it's a great idea, we can make big investments. The president of the association said laughing. " And call the population to participate. Congratulations, Moretti.

"Yes, then we will do this, prepare the entire Carol campaign and prepare the entire dissemination project.

After many conversations, applause, laughter, coffee, Enzo held me by the hand, led me into the room smiling.

"You were perfect, they all are drooling.

" We were perfect, we will make a big group, you will see we go to blow up and end all this, let's have the company itself understood Enzo? I kissed his lips. "And no partners, no presidents, you are sitting there at that top, and I'm sitting next to you.

"Wow, you've become a trait and handsome executive.

He smiled and kissed my lips and whispering one of his hands in my hair.

"I'm going to have the rest of the day full, but I'll see you at home and don't be late, that we have an appointment.

"What are you up to Enzo?

"Don't be late...

Carol came in all smiles and hugs me.

" Couple of the year are getting along and that's good.

"I'm loving it, this new Enzo is so romantic, but what do we have?

"Well, we can, who knows, go out drinking, celebrate that you are now a powerful woman, sending men and sending it around the world, what do you think?

"I can't, but tomorrow I’m thinking Enzo’s up to something because he left before work and told me to get there early, what do you think?

"A candlelit dinner, a strip tease, have you thought? Him swinging those beautiful little legs.

I laughed and kept thinking about him and everything that happened. I spent the rest of the afternoon working, taking care of everything so that everything would work out. I was happy, radiant, full of dreams and projects. I put my hand on my head and I was sweating, even with the air conditioning on. After what happened, I still had the reflexes of some things and very strange. I kept looking at the rain while I thought about all my life gave me longing, sadness, and joy. But most of all, thanks and looking at my cell phone and nothing. I don't like the lull.

I was ready to leave, I took my bag, I still looked on my phone, I decided to leave early, to find him soon, I was going to buy some roses to take to decorate his house. When I was in the hallway, one of the receptionists surrounded me.

"Mrs. Moretti, this has come here for you.

I looked, I'm all smiling, it must be Enzo's, my God, I took the roses from my hand and some of the staff were down the hall and I hear them say:

"Wow, you are out of love, congratulations Mrs. Moretti, wow, what a joy, love couple, the feeling of the moment.

I heard several voices, everyone clapping, laughing, I still looked at the card, shook my half dull head, looked at the card and was saying.

"Don't be late, I'll wait for you at this address."

Enzo left here all full of mystery, I thought he changed the place, I thought it was strange, but I walked, pulled my cab, ran into the rain.

" it's here, here, are you sure?

Yes, I’m sorry. I looked at an old house, looked again, did he buy this? "Thank you, sir.

I opened my umbrella, stood there in front of that strange house, said it's not possible, I looked again, I looked at the note and that's really the place. I don't turn to get in, I'm attacked. I fell to the ground, woke up with a headache, shortness of breath hours later. I tried to raise my arms, but I was stuck with my hands behind my back. I didn't have the courage to open my eyes, but when I opened my eye, I got slapped in the face and looked, it was Cecilia.

"I can't believe she kidnapped me."

She was facing me, with a smile on her face, but her eyes bulging, strange, seemed out of her head, I was afraid.

"Why did you do that? And why are you so mean, woman?

"Because you and Enzo ruined my life. You broke up with me, you destroyed me. Look at me, look what I am. She screams and comes to drool. "You're making me be this who I am. You made me do it. She screamed desperately and I was there looking for a way out, but I had no way out. I was tied to a pilaster with several chains around my body. "I am unhappy, you have destroyed me, and I will make you suffer just as I am suffering, because you deserve it.

"No, Cecilia, I screamed.
