Prisioner In Your Arms

Bruno

In life, you can endure many things, some of them less pleasant than others, like having a mother who behaves like a hyena. Wait a moment, mine actually is.

I was very young when she abandoned me to chase after a man. What kind of woman does that?

Now she comes with the story that she loves me, as if it’s easy for me to believe. I was only four years old when she left me. I needed her so much. I remember longing for my mother to tell me a story, but she never did.

She pretended to care about me only when my father was around. When he went to the office, my mother would leave the house and go have fun. When my father went on business trips, she would do the same and not come back for days. Still, I loved her. I imagined that she loved me too.

When she left, my father had organized a big birthday party for me. She said she was going to buy my gift, which was a surprise. The party started and ended, but she never returned. My father was very worried. One of his friends called him to say that he had seen my mother looking very happy with De Santis.

I had never seen my father cry like that before. After that, his friends dared to tell him everything they knew. My father turned to drinking, and I, as always, spent time with the household staff. One day, my father was drinking in his study, as he did every day. I went out to play with my dog, a puppy given to me by a friend of my father. At that time, I received gifts from my parents’ friends as if they felt sorry for me.

I was in the garden chasing the puppy when suddenly I tripped and fell into the pool. I didn’t know how to swim, but fortunately, my father, amidst his drunkenness, realized what was happening. He pulled me out of the water and managed to revive me. From that moment, he promised to change, and he did.

Some time later, he met Mara. She gradually approached me. At first, I rejected her and ran away from her, but eventually, I got used to her presence. One day, without realizing it, I started calling her “mom.” The first time I did that, she couldn’t help but cry. She healed my heart and my father’s. In other words, we felt like an angel had come into our lives.

Then Dante arrived. Far from feeling jealous, I felt incredibly happy. I would be the older brother to someone. I tried to take care of him from the moment he was born. Emma always made sure to include me in his upbringing. I never felt belittled. Because of all the love she has given me, she is and will always be my mother.

Deborah wants my son to call her “mother,” but I know he won’t because she’s the person who has caused him and René the most harm. I met René at a business convention where I was assisting one of his partners. He struck me as a serious and attractive man. Later on, we coincided in a meeting and had a long conversation. We continued to meet at other events.

It took time, but he finally asked me out. Months later, he invited me to have dinner at his house, where I met his son. He was the most beautiful and tender child I had ever seen. He would look at me with his huge blue eyes. At first, he avoided me and kept his distance, but little by little, I gained his trust. And one day, I heard what I had longed for: he called me “mom.”

After René got divorced, we got married. Some time later, Dante came into our lives. From the moment Bruno saw his brother, he was fascinated by him. He took care of him all the time. We thought that with Dante’s arrival, Bruno might feel jealous, but it was quite the opposite.

I did everything possible to make him feel included and not displaced, and I think I succeeded. Now that woman thinks she can reclaim what she once rejected, but Bruno will always be my son, and I will always be his mother, whether she likes it or not.

Deborah

I met René when I started working at his company. He immediately caught my attention. He seemed like the perfect man-handsome and ridiculously wealthy. I had to conquer him. I knew I had to present myself as modest and began dressing provocatively, but without revealing too much. Soon enough, he was eating out of the palm of my hand.

We got married, and I had the wedding any woman would dream of. I felt happy by his side. A couple of years later, I became pregnant, and it was the biggest mistake I could have made. I felt like René stopped looking at me; his eyes were only for that brat. We stopped going out to parties, and he spent his days working. He didn’t let me hire a nanny, so I had to sacrifice my freedom to take care of that demon spawn. All I ever heard was “mommy, mommy, mommy.”

I don’t even know when he learned to speak. To make matters worse, he was afraid of storms, and on rainy days, René insisted that he sleep with us. When René went on business trips, I would lock him in his room during stormy nights. While René worked, I had my fun. I frequented men who appreciated my beauty while my husband was away, and I stayed out of the house.

René had become so boring, so predictable that he started to annoy me. I put up with him because he paid for all my expenses and fulfilled every one of my whims. One day, at a club, I met Sergio. Oh, what a man! He was incredibly handsome, and in bed, there was no comparison. None of my lovers were like him. Shortly after, he took me to his house where he lived with Rina.

I found out that Rina possessed a great fortune, while Sergio was in ruin. That was his only flaw. I convinced him to force her to give up everything she owned, and after locking her up in a psychiatric institution, he loved her for it, which is why I hated her. In addition to being a beautiful woman, she had driven him crazy with her rejection. It was easy to manipulate him into doing whatever I asked. We have enjoyed that fortune for many years.

It seems that Rina didn’t tell Noah Williams about her history with Sergio, as they were business partners for many years. Sergio kept a close eye on him in case he tried to claim his daughter’s inheritance. Later, we found out that Rina escaped from the psychiatric institution.

Now, we will get rid of them. We won’t allow them to leave us in ruins. I will make Bruno believe in my maternal love, and that way, I will get closer to his son. Besides, I hate Mara, and I will make Bruno despise her. That place she has belongs to me.

René

Deborah was the great love of my life. She was a beautiful woman who caught my attention immediately. She seemed like an angel. I fell deeply in love with her. She was passionate, fun, and we got married. After some time, she became pregnant, and it was the best news of my life.

My son Bruno was born, and I decided to work doubly hard to ensure that if anything ever happened to me, they would be protected. I didn’t want to hire a nanny. I grew up with one, and although I loved her, I wished I could have been with my mother. There were rumors about my wife, but I didn’t believe them. I even distanced myself from some friends because of the way they spoke about her. To me, she was untouchable.

When my son turned four, I organized a big party. Before it started, Deborah told me that she had a very special gift for our son and that she would go get it. She never returned. It was very tough for both of us.

I thought something had happened to her. I searched everywhere for her. My friends, seeing my desperation, decided to tell me what was happening. They had seen her with Sergio at the airport, and they looked very happy together. Later on, I met Mara. I fell in love with her sweetness and simplicity.

She unconditionally loved my son from the moment she met him. Getting closer to her was the best decision of my life. She brought me calmness and the love I had yearned for. Years have passed, and she still retains her beauty. She is not like Deborah. Both women are beautiful, but in different ways. Deborah filled my life with passion, lust, and recklessness, with excesses.

Mara came to calm my mind, to fill me with sweetness. Deborah was like a powerful storm that swept away everything in its path. Mara is like a beautiful calm sea, like the ebb tide, full of peace and tranquility.

Later on, I met Noah Williams. I chose to bury the past and not talk about Deborah. He became Sergio’s business partner, but their relationship was purely business. Who would have thought that Noah and I had a similar history? That man had ruined our lives at one point. Noah is a simple man with a huge heart. He has understood that Gío is not his enemy.

Now, they have a good relationship, and you could say they are good friends. We were all victims of circumstances. Now, we are united to face a common enemy. Sergio De Santis will pay for everything he has done. We know he operates in the underworld, as it is commonly said. He has a lot to answer for, and we will make sure he does.
