A dream opportunity presents itself in Samanta's life... Her job, which not only gives her stability but also self-improvement, takes the girl's life to a skyscraper from which she doesn't want to get down for anything in the world, because, although she looks like a self-confident person, Sam hides a dark side that she will try to cover with all her strength. Angelo Ankarali is not only her boss, as the years go by he becomes a dominant and totally possessive friend... who, from one day to the next, will make her an offer impossible to resist, pushing Sam against the wall while everything she has built around her starts to crumble...

I look in the mirror and still can't believe what is happening.Anne places a small, but beautiful bouquet of calla lilies in my hands, with a rather subtle ribbon in shades of gold.The sudden movement of little Andrew on my belly causes me to let out a yelp at the touch of my ribs, and my friend smiles at my reaction.“He's nervous too!” She says, smiling, as she bends down and touches my belly. “Little one, we must hurry.”In her tone, I can tell she's nervous too.And that's my friend, that's Anne Hastings, a little person that heaven gave me, a sister who has put herself in my shoes, a woman who lacks nothing but kindness.“Anne...” I manage to say, and she looks up in question, so I continue. “I have no words to describe what you are, what you mean to me... I...”“Please! Don't ruin yo
I've had visitors all day, my brother has practically taken up residence in my hospital room next to Anne. Evie and Ercan have been making the rounds asking about the baby; but no one has dared to hold a conversation, not even a basic one.It's as if time has stopped, it's as if my mind is somehow in automatic mode, answering "yes" or "no" to any question; tasting a bite or two of food when the time is right.I have given all my effort to keep my system calm; I have betrayed my emotions, putting aside my pain, in order to attend to my son's health.But there are moments when my thoughts get out of alignment and the pain returns, making me trisas, and without being able to avoid it, the hot coal that squeezes my throat becomes cruel; so much that I feel that I will not be able to cope with all this, and that if it were not for my son, I would have wanted to take Angelo's place a long time ago.“I bought some fruit,” My brother says in a whisper, offering me an apple.I take it slowly a
No matter how much I deny again and again, no matter how much I open and close my eyes, the vision of Colin does not go away.It does not go away.His face is, unrecognizable. He is not at all shocked to see Isabella in a mess and with a gun pointed at herself; rather, he is mocking her situation. And this disturbs me greatly.Angelo's face is the only one I can't make out, as his back is to me; while Colin and Isabella are right in front of my vision.“You're an unhappy man! Says Angelo in a challenging tone, while Isabella cries.Colin's smile widens as he sends her a menacing look.“You can't always get what you want..” and with these words Lerman pushes the woman, “Shoot him! I order you.”What?An impulse comes innately, urging me to run right where the three of them are standing.“Nooo!” I scream until I get close to Angelo.He sees me terrified, but I can't continue my trajectory, when I hear Lerman's scream.“Stop! Don't move anymore Sam, stay where you are!”I remain motionles
I hurry to the kitchen, turning off the stove immediately. All my food is literally burnt and the atmosphere full of smoke. I cough several times and see Adriel come in to turn on the cooker hood, and then the smoke begins to dissipate.Despite the circumstance and despite the moment, I feel very nervous about his presence in this place; and even more alone. I try by all means to appear calm and without preamble I stare at him.“What do you want?” I asked sharply.“There are several things I want to talk to you about, if I may.”“Don't talk to him... Remember everything you've been told.”“Sam... If he tries to talk to you, please leave the place.” I remind Colin’s words.Nervousness starts to rise in my body, but I have to be smart.“No Adriel, I won't let you, you and I have nothing to talk about, and if at some point we were to share something it would be in Angelo's presence, you....”“Samantha…” His tone of voice increases in seconds, leaving me paralyzed. “Nothing is as you thin
“Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday my Cocorita, happy birthday!”“Thank you, Dad! This bear was what I wanted most in the world!”“You deserve a thousand of these bears.”“And you're the best daddy in the world!”(laughs)“I try to be my love, your mom Joshua and you are the most important thing in my life, and I will never, ever let you down...”***The soft touch of fingers on my face makes me blink several times, as I find it difficult to make out the face at first. When I manage to clear my vision Angelo's face appears perfectly in front of my eyes, it is still caressing my skin.“What time is it?” I ask in a whisper.“Four in the morning.”And although I'm dying to know what happened and where he went I just nod.“Why do you still have your work clothes on?” He asks.“I fell asleep,” I say rubbing my eyes. “Are you okay?”He continues as I sit on the bed, moving closer to him, but I don't touch him. “Yes... I was with Steven,” He says
Shocked and not knowing how to react, I look at Ankarali who's eyes are red, so irritated, I think they're going to explode at some point.His fists are so stiff that I start to fear again. Isabella on the other hand is white as snow without taking her eyes off Angelo at any moment. I feel something very strange when suddenly she turns her eyes to Lerman and looks at Angelo again.“We didn't know Miss White's condition,” Says a man up ahead.“That... Mr. Hastings is nobody's business...” Says Ankarali.“But how can it not? She's the person in charge of this... Everything will delay our results,” Isabella squeals.Of course the motherfucker couldn't stay behind.“Miss Isabella, at no time I said it because of the lost time, I said it because of the conviction of Ankarali's words, you must set a longer deadline,” Replies Colin very calmly observing her with great scrutiny.“And who are you to be able to decide about Samantha?” Angelo lets go, more furious than usual.“Enough!” Joshua sa
Of course, since that day I made the decision to go to Angelo's apartment, which every time I emphasize that it is ours.Talking to Anne was one of the most difficult things for me, and not because she refused, but because of our friendship, so many moments, so much support, and although she was also making her life, and we will always be together, but leaving home was one of the most emotional things I have been able to do in life.The following weeks were hard, as far as Joshua and I are concerned. Today in the afternoon we will have a meeting to give the first general report "Our first report", after having given the inauguration on the day of the event.In a way I am a bit nervous, as the representatives of all the companies involved will be there again.When Angelo decided to buy the shares from the Abramovichs, he gave them the opportunity to stay in the project "it's only fair"; therefore, I will have to exchange glances and words with Isabella.And not that I have any complai
“Let's all go to the table!” Announces Angelo. Everyone sits down in an uncomfortable silence, and I try without success to meet my friend's gaze.“Well... Before I ask for dinner...”I jump.God! Will people keep coming? A voice I didn't want to hear makes me swallow bitterly. Adriel peeks into the dining room a little out of context. He's wearing a sweatshirt and carrying a bag on his shoulders, frowning at his parents.Angelo reaches out a hand toward them so they can calm down.“Adriel, come in, sit down... We were just about to start,” His brother says slowly.He nods and sits down with Evie, casting a sinister look at me. I instantly turn my face away and look at Joshua who's jaw is tense and I gesture for him to relax.I can't do more, he's Angelo's brother, it's his family.“As I was saying before, before we serve dinner, I want to tell this beautiful woman,” He says, taking my hand and getting up from the chair, “That we are here because I asked all these people to be here..
