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

Cap 35

I would like nothing more at this moment than to go and hug him and apologize, but that is impossible.

Olga: It's impossible, just because you two are stubborn and cowardly.
Solve your problems, let's end all this suffering and madness.

Laura: I can't. As much as I wish I couldn't.
Oli help me please pack my and Maya's luggage.

Olga: No way! You and Maya don't leave this house.

Laura: You know I have no choice

Domenico: You have a choice. There is a solution.

Laura & Olga: What do you mean?

Domenico: If you really want to leave this house, you will leave, but with one condition!

Laura: (confused) I don't understand!

Domenico: You and Maya will leave this house but you will not return to the island. You will go to Messina.

Laura: What!?

Domenico: Sister-in-law, I told you a few days ago that we can negotiate absolutely anything, except when it comes to health.

That's  house is yours. You will not leave Italy until the day when you do not fully recover.

Everything is ready. You will find everything you and Maya need there.

Laura: But ...

Olga: (jumping in Domenico's arms and kissing him) Amore, I can't believe it! I love you ! You are the best man I know!

Domenico: (kissing Olga) I love you more than my life too! Never forget that, Amore !

Laura: (Hugging Domenico) I don't know how I can ever thank you for all this, little bro!

Domenico: (smiling) Hehe, how long has it been since you called me "little bro"?
I missed hearing that.

Get well and learn to smile again. I don't need anything else.

In a few minutes everything was ready to go. All I had to do was go get Maya.

Massimo POV:

In those moments when I was hugging this little angel , I felt like all the world was mine.

For the first time in many years, I felt that God existed.

I don't think it's been more than an hour since I met Maya, but this little princess seems to have brought me back to life.

In this hour when I have her around me she has managed to make me smile more than I have ever smiled in my life.

It's weird to say that, but the hugs she gave me were so special, I felt so honest.

When she looks at me with her big blue eyes, it seems unreal, I just have no reaction.

I'm used to being the one who causes this thrill in people, leaving them unable to react, but for the first time in my life I meet someone who can simply hypnotize me with a single glance.

This angel looks in my eyes but seems to be looking at my soul. She seems to be reading my thoughts before I can say them.

All I want is to have the power to stop the time and make this moment last an eternity.

But I know that this beautiful dream has come to an end. From time to time, Laura would come to me and pick up Maya.
