Prisioner In Your Arms

Sergio was happy to have Rina with him, still deeply in love with her. His parents couldn’t force him into marriage, and he dedicated himself wholeheartedly to taking care of their son. He planned to reunite them with Rina as soon as they could bring her to them. The day he finally had her by his side, he was filled with excitement. He stayed by her, eagerly awaiting the moment she would wake up from the sedative the men who had kidnapped her had given her.

“My love, we can finally be together,” Sergio said when he saw her waking up. He had observed her while she was unconscious, seeing her as the most beautiful woman in existence.

Rina, surprised, couldn’t believe what she was hearing. What kind of madman would do such a thing?

“What do you intend, Sergio? Let me return to my husband and my daughter,” she couldn’t help but shout, feeling extremely angry.

“Rina, you must calm down. We will bring her with us soon,” he said with a smile, confident that she still loved him.

“Don’t you dare touch my daughter! Don’t make me hate you even more than I already do.”

“What did he expect after causing her so much harm?”

“I will respect your decision, I won’t bring her, but you will stay by my side. I know you will soon realize that you haven’t stopped loving me.”

“Damn madman, let me go,” she simply couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“You haven’t even asked about your son. It’s clear how little you care,” he infuriated her even more by saying that.

At that moment, a doctor entered and administered a sedative.

Sergio didn’t want to keep her sedated, but for the time being, it would be best until she calmed down and understood that they could finally be happy.

Rina screamed and cried as soon as she woke up. She wanted to go back to Noah and her daughter; they were her family. Sergio was now in the past. At some point, she tried to convince herself that he had never existed, that it was only a bad dream. But the pain she felt for her son reminded her that it was all too real.

For months, Sergio tried to win back her love. He didn’t bring her son to her; he was afraid she would reject him. She had constant nervous breakdowns.

One night, when she was calm, Sergio entered the room. Ignoring her pleas, he forced himself on her. He had been drinking too much and couldn’t bear her constant rejections.

The next day, she hated him even more. One day, upon his arrival, she told him that she had realized she still loved him. He made love to her tenderly, but in the early morning, he woke up startled. Rina had hidden a knife and stabbed him in the back while he was asleep.

“You damn traitor! You have deceived me. Now you will see what I’m capable of!” He slapped her repeatedly, calling for the doctor who was taking care of her. The doctor slept in the adjacent room and they sedated her again.

From then on, Sergio changed towards her. He always arrived in a terrible state. He refused to bring her son to her and forced her to sleep with him. He even resorted to tying her up.

The situation worsened when he realized that his parents had left him with nothing but debts. He was bankrupt.

Since then, he took out his anger on her, torturing her in cruel ways. She went from one nervous breakdown to another, trembling every time she saw him approaching.

One day, while drinking at a club, he met Deborah, Bruno’s mother. When René was away on business trips, she refused to accompany him, leaving her young son at home and going out to have fun.

Deborah was a beautiful woman. When she flirted with Sergio, he couldn’t resist. That’s when their relationship began. He confided in her about his problems, and she pretended to understand.

Rina was grateful when he didn’t come home to sleep. Ever since his relationship with Deborah started, he would be absent for several days. The woman took advantage of that time to stay with him when René was away.

Eventually, Sergio started bringing Deborah to their house. He forced Rina to sleep in the same room as them. Deborah enjoyed seeing her cry; it made her laugh.

When Deborah found out that Rina was a wealthy heiress, she convinced Sergio to force her to transfer her fortune to her.

“You can have her power of attorney. Once she signs it, you must have her committed to a psychiatric hospital since you don’t want to get rid of her permanently,” Deborah suggested.

“That’s what I’ll do. She doesn’t love me, and I need her money,” Sergio agreed.

Sergio saw Rina’s fortune as the solution to all his financial problems. He had her committed, instructing the doctors to inject her with medications to make her appear mentally unstable. From that moment on, he became a completely cruel and ambitious man. He was pleased when he learned that Deborah’s husband was Noah’s best friend. For a long time, he tried to harm them from the shadows, unbeknownst to them that he was their worst enemy. Deborah, once she secured their access to the fortune, didn’t hesitate to leave René and Bruno.

Bruno was very young, and despite his mother’s contemptuous treatment, he loved her. She pretended to care for him when his father was around, but as soon as René left for the office, she would go out, leaving him alone with the staff. René insisted on not hiring a nanny, wanting him to be raised by his mother as it was supposed to be the best.

A couple of years after Deborah left them, she met Mara. The woman immediately fell in love with Bruno, who had suffered greatly from his mother’s absence and disdain. At first, Bruno was reluctant, but it was easy for Mara to win his affection, and he quickly accepted her as his mother.

When Dante was born, Bruno felt proud to be the older brother. It was incredible how he loved his brother from the first moment, and his protective instinct awakened. From then on, he rarely left Dante’s side, until he decided to travel to Italy.

Years later, an employee at the psychiatric hospital felt pity for Rina and decided to stop administering her medication. Gradually, she began to regain her memories.

She developed a close friendship with that employee, and the young man decided to help her escape. They planned everything meticulously and executed it at the opportune moment.

Rina never found out the true reason why Sergio had abandoned her. She believed he had never loved her, and now she had to be careful, knowing that he could order her assassination at any moment.

Present day

Bruno arrived at Gío and Rina’s house; they had to resolve this situation as soon as possible. He wouldn’t allow Nicole and their son to be in danger.

“Bruno, what brings you here? How have you been?” Gio asked, surprised. Bruno wasn’t known for visiting them frequently, and their relationship was cordial but didn’t extend beyond a simple greeting after all they had been through.

“I need to talk to you about something very serious,” Bruno replied.

“Take a seat. Can I offer you something to drink?” Rina asked.

“If you have whisky, I think I need it,” Bruno responded.

“I’ll bring it right away.”

When she returned, Bruno began telling them what was happening.

“Leandro has asked me to speak with you. He trusts us completely, and we can’t let him know that he’s helping us.”

“You have our absolute discretion,” Gio assured him.

“Sergio is planning something. He doesn’t know exactly what he’ll attempt, but he wants to harm Nicole and my son.”

Rina covered her mouth and began to cry.

“I knew this day would come sooner or later. He won’t allow us to take away that inheritance. I think it would be better if we reach an agreement with him and leave the money in his hands,” she trembled as she spoke. Gio approached to hug her.

“Don’t worry, they will be protected. Bruno, Noah, and I won’t let him harm them. If we don’t act now, that danger will always be there, considering them a threat. We must take advantage of the fact that your son is on our side now.”

“I’m scared, Gio. You don’t know him like I do. You don’t know what he’s capable of when he’s angry,” Rina trembled just at the thought of it. Sergio turned into a monster when provoked.

“Mr. Gio is right, ma’am. You must stay calm. I think we should all stay together until we resolve this. If you’re dispersed, it will be easier for him to succeed.”

“I don’t know how we’ll keep Nicole from finding out about this. She has already suffered enough. I know it’s my fault, I admit it, and I want to make it right. I love her daughter, and I’m willing to go to the end to protect her.”

“We need to meet with Noah and devise a plan while gathering evidence against Sergio. We must be as discreet as possible to avoid alerting him.”

“Then we’ll stay in touch. I’ll take Nicole and my son out of town for a few days to keep them away from all of this.”

“Excellent. That way, we’ll be more at ease, and while you’re away, we’ll expedite the investigation against Sergio.”

Bruno headed towards Nicole’s house, where Santi welcomed him happily. The boy already loved his father, although Leandro was very important to him as well.

“We’ll leave on our trip tomorrow. What do you think?” Bruno asked with a smile, feeling great being with his wife and son.

“Sounds great, Dad,” Santi exclaimed. He loved going fishing, something he did regularly with Leandro.

“He’s very excited and can’t stop talking about it,” Nicole added.

“Ha, ha, I can imagine.”

After dinner, they watched a children’s movie, and Santi fell asleep. Together, they carried him to his room.

The couple stayed for a while, watching him sleep.

“Thank you,” Bruno said.

“Why?” she looked at him, puzzled.

“For giving me a beautiful son.”

“I think we both participated in that.”

“Upon reflection, you’re right. I completely agree, hahaha. How about we reminisce about that moment?” he asked playfully.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Mmm, I think that’s a great idea, Mr. Leone.”

They made their way to the bedroom. That day, he kissed every part of her body, loving the sensual curves of her hips that shaped her figure.

Nicole dared to do something she had never done before. She lowered herself to his hips, placing kisses along the way. She took his intimacy into her mouth, and Bruno moaned with delight.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked.

“Shh, just enjoy it, even though I know I’m not very good at it.”

He closed his eyes and let himself be carried away by the wonderful sensations her movements aroused in his body.

After feeling satisfied, he positioned himself between her legs and began to move frenetically. He was too excited to take it slow.

“I love you. I love you more than I should, more than I ever thought I would love someone,” he said as he heard her, locking eyes with him, as they reached ecstasy together.

“God, my heart could burst at any moment.”

“Haha, heh,” he took her hand and placed it on his chest. She could feel his heart racing. “See, I’m just like you.”
