ENZO MORETTI
I was nervous, shaking, my hands sweating, I decorated the whole house with flowers everywhere, I spread flowers all over the floor. I made a path of flowers and on the table I put more flowers, champagne on ice and rings. Today I ask Valentina to marry me and have our rings, ice and fire made with our names. And today I ask her to marry her, today she becomes my bride, to take a step down the aisle.
I made a chicken medallion out of the wood sauce, left everything prepared, the music in the background, and it was taking a while. I called her several times, but she wouldn't answer. When I turned on the last one, the phone was off, I thought it was weird. I looked at the clock again. It was getting late, I look out the window, the rain falls. Today was the right day to ask Valentina to marry me. The rain, our projects, our life and was happy, overflowing. I sat on the couch waiting for that door to open and look at the door, look at the phone and nothing. After several glasses of whiskey and full of bad thoughts after everything that happened. Now anything I think of the worst. I called again, turned it off, it must unload you. I'm going to go personally and I'm anxious because Valentina wouldn't show up, so I decided to call Carol while I left the house. I still took the key to my car from the side per.
Carol?
" Hi! Enzo!
"When you left, did you see if Valentina had left the office?
"I didn't see why I left before her, and stayed to sort out some things and I had a meeting out.
"We'll talk later.
I hung up, I took the key on top of the parade, and I was just leaving, I was going to pick her up now, I was going to pick her up in person, I'm not giving up. When my phone rang, I didn't believe Cecilia, I didn't answer, I hung up. And again, a video call, what does this want now? I ended up attending, I had to personally see what it was, will something. I still kept the turnkey, and I took the call.
"Hello! Enzo, do you remember me? Well, I can't forget you, and I have a surprise for you, look at this. When she turned her phone, Valentina tied to a pilaster with chains all over her body, I couldn't believe it. At the time I fell sitting on the couch, almost fell the floor, I did not believe. I put my hand on my face in despair.
"Are you terrified, my dear? Or are you surprised? I shouldn't be surprised at my little gift to you, the love of your life.
You want to talk, don't you? She was debauched. "I bet you want to come alone. Don't call the police, don't tell anyone. Because if you don't... This beautiful woman... It will be cut into pieces. I swear to you.
" Okay, it's okay... Calm down, I'm going, Cecilia.
I was shaking mistake all wanting to leave the house, I needed to breathe.
"Don't touch her, I'll do anything you want. But don't do her any harm. Please, Cecilia.
"Now you want to beg? Lie the little boyfriend wants to beg. And I'd turn my phone over so she wouldn't see... The table I prepared for dinner ready on it. Because if she wasn't going to get even more angry.
"I'm going and pass me the information that I get there... In a matter of time, please. Think about it, Cecilia. You're not going to end your life. If you hurt Valentina... You'll be ending your life too.
"Shut up! I give the orders. Then you get in the car and come. It's on the street of the ombudsman number 1422.
"I'm going, easy.
I ran into the car, turned off my phone and I ran as fast as I could without strength, my hand sweating. And I was shaking, and it wasn't long before I got to the door of an old, weird house. I couldn't stay away from the office. But it was in the suburbs on the dark side of town. I looked again and I didn't believe it was there.
I still look again. And I end up coming in, taking a deep breath looking everywhere. And I'll text her.
"I've arrived."
"Ha ha ha ha ha... Enter what party is about to start."
I went into the house, it was all dirty, full of bush, it was about to fall, very old, but it would make a great mansion. I still looked again, I saw two armed men and they made gestures, and I accompanied them. I went in the door, I still took a deep breath, looked everywhere, and did not see a living soul there, I took a few more steps, passing through some broken woods, dirt, that I raised my face, I saw Valentina tied to the pilaster, all chained, crying. I looked at Cecilia next door, she was crazy- she looked like she was out of her hair, she looked drugged, weird, she wasn't the same Cecilia with her hair cut and I thought it was weird and I wasn't even wearing heels, she was wearing a sneaker.
I almost ask her, who are you?
"Stop it, Cecilia, drop it, don't do it.
"And why would I quit? Is it because she's the love of your life? She put her hand on Valentina's face and slapped her. He was torturing me.
"No Cecilia, don't do it, let go, I'm here, trade her for me, let her is, I'm here.
"I don't want you, I want to make you suffer, because to this day I don't understand, Enzo, why did you choose her? She was distressed and she's going to put her hand on her face. "Look at me, say, look what I am, look what I was, a woman studied, graduated, cradle, education, and you went to choose this slum, this woman's trash, why Enzo? I want that answer, which I wonder every night, why? I can't believe this, that you dumped me for her.
Cecilia, please... She screams.
"I don't want to hear your voice; you only talk as much as you go to answer me. Why Enzo, why? Did you prefer her?
I still looked on the floor, I didn't know if I was telling the truth, but I had to tell you, the truth.
"Because it is a meeting of souls, and I have been attracted by her pure soul.
"Don't come up with your lies, Enzo. She was walking around, and she was desperate and you could see the madness in her eyes. My hands trembled, but she was tied from shoulders to shoulders. She pulled out a knife and looked right at me and said:
"It's a lie and a lie. Not a fuck, Enzo.
"I swear to you, I was attracted to her soul. Cecilia, look at me and don't do anything and think about your life, your father.
"He abandoned me, he just disappeared, everyone abandoned me, including you. I don't believe anything you're talking about, you're a liar, Enzo. You hide, you're afraid to live and you're afraid to love. It's been like this my whole life. She talked without to and I there analyzing the place. "If she is the love of your life, why didn't she marry and make her his wife? Because you're a coward. Just like you went with me, you're doing it to her. I don't care, Enzo. I want to make you suffer just like I'm suffering.
She approached Valentina and with that knife in her hand, she reached her neck and squeezed.
"No, please, please. I’ll do whatever you want. Please look at me, Cecilia.
"Then get down on your knees, I want you on your knees before me. Come on, Enzo. I look at Valentina. "I'm waiting for you to get down on your knees. Don't you want to save your beloved? So on your knees, now. She squeezed Valentina and shook her head desperately that she didn't. "Walk on your knees before me. And tell me you love me that I'm the only woman in your life.
I look everywhere and there was no way out, ea, having to do that and I see Valentina doesn't want to.
"I do whatever you want. But put the knife down, don't do anything.
She pressed the knife even more and I tried to fix the words, so she'd drop the knife and look at Valentina and I’ll take two steps and she screams.
"Stay where you are, or I'll tell you to shoot you Enzo. Now fucking...
I went back both steps and she squeezes the knife into Valentina's neck that was scared face and I scream.
"All right, please, Cecilia.
I understood what she wanted with this little game, her to humiliate me and, at the same time, make me hurt Valentina. And I know she's going to kill us, and her face won't let us both get out of here alive. And I see I didn't have much choice.
"Stay calm I'm here and I'll do what you say.
"Then on your knees, Enzo and tell me you love me and I'm the only woman in your life. And on your knees Enzo.
