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

Cap 58

Haha good joke, what you lived through was not even close to comparable to the hell I was in and I'm still a prisoner!

How quickly you forget your promises Don! You promised that you would always be by my side.

Do you remember what you were telling me?
Massimo looks at her with tearful eyes but is unable to articulate a single word.

Laura: Allow me to refresh your memory dear, Don.

You told me ...

"Baby girl from now on you don't have to fear anything ever again! I will always be by your side, I will hold your hand, forever. Together from today until the end of time"

But guess what Don Massimo, you broke your promise! You let go of my hand, you left me alone.

And I was damn scared! You were next to me, but in fact you were miles away.

You decided to let me go from Your arms when I  needed the most from you to hold me tight and whisper in my ear:

"Don't be afraid baby girl, everything will be alright , will gonna be fine! I'm here ".

Why did you do that, Massimo?

Why?

Why?

The oppressive scene between the two is suddenly interrupted.

Maya: (with tears in her eyes) What is happening here?

Immediately the eyes of the 4 go in the direction from which that voice is heard.

Maya: Mommy why are you hitting Massimo?

Massimo, perché devi andare in un'altra casa? È colpa mia, vero?

Massimo, why do you have to go to another house? It's my fault, isn't it?

(Crying even harder )

Ti sei arrabbiato perché oggi sono stato cattivo e ho creato problemi!

You got angry because I was bad today and created problems!

Non volevo... Volevo solo vederti.

I didn't want to... I just wanted to see you.

Scusa, per favore perdonami!

I'm sorry, please forgive me !

Laura: (screaming) Baby, be careful, there are shards on the floor! Stay still !

Massimo's first impulse is to run to the little one, but he realizes that his hand is bleeding, and he stays where he is,  not wanting to scare her even more.

Massimo and Laura were still under the influence of strong emotions caused by the argument they had just a few minutes before, and they don't know how to react.

Domenico and Olga approached the little girl, kneeling in front of her.

Domenico: Little princess, please don't cry! Everything is fine, you have nothing to worry about!

Maya: (crying) Uncle, you know it's not nice to lie! Mommy and Massimo were fighting because of me, weren't they?

Because I was a bad child, and I wanted to run away, mommy and Massimo got angry at each other again, and now Massimo wants to leave because of me!

Domenico looks at the little one confused, not knowing what to answer, but he is saved by Olga's intervention.

Olga: My beautiful doll, don't ever say that again. There are no bad children's!

Maya: But aunty, I was bad. I did something I knew was wrong. And now Mommy and Massimo are arguing for my fault!

Olga: Sweetheart, it's not true! Mommy and Massimo didn't fight because of you!

Maya: Really auntie?

Didn't Mommy and Massimo didn't fight because of me?

Then what happened?

Why was Mommy hitting Massimo?
