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

Cap 39

Laura Pov:

I watched my baby laugh out loud in the arms of the man I love, and my eyes filled with tears instantly.

Olga: Hey Lari please don't cry anymore! Look at how happy they are together. Now you have nothing to worry about.
Stay, this is your home, yours  house.

Laura: I can't, I can't do this to Maya and Massimo.
We have to leave, that's the best thing for all of us.

Olga: You're so stubborn! But I hope it's clear to you that neither I nor Domenico let you leave Italy until you're well.

Laura: I understand, I understand I'm going to Messina as I agreed with Domenico

Olga: I'm not kidding, Lari, if you even try to get close to the airport, I swear I'll tell Massimo the whole truth in person.

Laura: Oli my dear, calm down! Even though I would like to leave, I am aware that I have no choice. I'm weak, I couldn't take care of Maya on the island alone.

At least for now, Maya is safer here than on the island.

But understand me, I have to leave this house. I will not resist seeing him every day.

Olga: (hugging Laura) We'll see each other every day. You can not get away from me.

Laura: But who told you I'd like to escape?

Olga: (laughing) You don't,  even if you want to, you can't.

Laura: I think it's time to leave. I can't take this agony any longer.

Laura wipes away her tears and walks over to Massimo and Maya.

Laura: My doll, let's go, it's time to go.

Maya: Mommy please, a little more, a little more!

Laura: Maya is already late. And in addition, your new friend Massimo has work to do.

Maya: Don's obligations?

Laura: Exactly, my dear. Obligations of Don.
Isn't that right, Massimo?

Massimo: I ... that's true small miracle, Mommy is right. But as I promised, we'll see you again.

Little Maya is sad. Before the little girl could react in any way, Laura quickly took her from Massimo's arms and headed for the car that was waiting for them.

Maya: Mommy, but ... wait a minute please!

Laura: Maya, please understand, we have to go.

Massimo remains in a fixed position, unable to say or do anything.

All he could do in those moments was just watch as Laura and little Maya walked away from him, heading for the car.

Olga, Domenico and Matteo went to the car to say goodbye to Laura and Maya.

After many tears and hugs, Laura and Maya get in the car that was to take them to their house in Messina.

Not before making Olga and Domenico , promise that Massimo will not find out that she and Maya have not left Italy.

Although Laura was reluctant to accept, Domenico decided to get in the car with them to make sure they were safe.

Massimo Pov:

Laura looked into my eyes and in a split of second she took Maya from my arms. I didn't have time to react.

I don't recognize myself , in such situations I would have shouted, I would have done something, but now I can only watch how they goes away.

I stayed like that for a few tens of seconds, but at one point, I felt something I can't explain in words.
