Beautiful like a rose 🌹 but... fragile like a bomb 💣

Cap 9

After hours of walking around the room not knowing what decision to make, I decided to take the risk.

I needed to escape from the "prison" I had called life for 5 years.

I miss my house so much.
But on the other hand, I am so afraid to go back to the place that was heaven and hell.

The place where I experienced the ultimate happiness and absolute decay.

I'm afraid I won't be able to fight the ghosts of the past.

I'm terribly scared, but I know that if I don't do something I'm going to go crazy.

Maya was overjoyed when she found out that we were going to spend a few days with her godparents and Matteo.

She adores them.

By the time I finished packing, it was already dark.

After I had lunch with Maya, and we looked at the cartons together, I prepared her for bed.
She fell asleep with great difficulty, repeating over and over how excited she was about our trip.

After another hour of trying to get rid of the thousands of thoughts that went through my mind, I finally managed to fall asleep.

I woke up at the dawn of the day extremely excited, but at the same time eager to get home again and show my little one the beauties of Sicily.

I prepared Maya and we had breakfast together.

As usual, Nacho wasn't home, and I didn't know when he would return.

Before leaving for Madrid, I decided to send a message to Nacho informing him that I would be leaving with Maya for a short vacation.

To my great joy, the flight from the island to Madrid was a short one. Before I realize it we had already landed in Madrid.

A black SUV took us from the airport to one of Massimo's hotels in the Spanish capital.
To my surprise, the hotel staff was extremely friendly.
Addressing me by the name of Mrs. Torriceli.

Our luggage was taken away, and we were taken to a huge presidential apartment.

I was surprised to see that the room was full of colorful balloons and lots of stuffed toys

There were also fruits and lots of sweets on the table.

To my surprise, there were also my favorite chocolates and a bottle of my favorite champagne.

Laura: Maya my dear , be careful. If you keep running like this, you will fall and you will get hurt .

Maya: Mommy, mommy this place is gorgeous. Look how many toys and sweets are here.
Can I have something sweet? Please, please!

Laura: Maya you know the rules. You can only eat sweets after you eat your food

Maya: pfff

Then can I at least pick a toy to take with me?
Laura: My dear, I don't know ...

Our dialogue was interrupted by a knock on the door

I'm going to open it, and there's a boy from the hotel staff at the door

Boy: Excuse me for bothering you
Mrs. Torriceli.
I came to ask you what you want to eat?

Laura: My heart skipped a beat when I heard he call me Mrs. Torriceli

Before I can say anything, Maya's voice is heard approaching the front door.

Maya: Can you please bring me Pizza Margherita and french fries?

Boy: Of course Miss, we will bring you your order as soon as possible

Maya: (smiling) Thank you

Boy: You don't have to.

And Mrs. Torricelli, what would you like to eat?

Laura: You're wearing pasta and orange juice

The boy: Of course, ma'am

Can I help you with anything else?

Laura: Do you know what it's like with all the balloons, sweets and toys in the room?

Boy: These were Don Domenico's orders.
Everything was ready for the little Miss

Maya: Can I have a toy with me?

Boy: Of course. It's all for you.

Maya: Yuppy uncle Domenico is the best

The boy: Mrs. Torriceli, in about an hour, the plane that will take you to Italy will be ready for you.
Laura: Alright ,thank you so much!
