The table was set, and they were sitting down when Rosalba came down the stairs.

"Good morning, Alessandro," she said, walking over to him and leaning in for a kiss.

Luica screamed. "How dare you! How dare you kiss him!"

Rosalba froze, her lips inches from Alessandro's cheek. She looked at Luica, her eyes wide with surprise.

Alessandro smirked and pushed Rosalba away, his face twisting with disgust.

"I don't understand, What business do you have being here, Luica? You don't belong here. It's better for you to go back to where you came from."

"Of course she belongs here,You're the one who doesn't belong here. It's better for you to go back to wherever you came from."Chiara said

"No, I'm the one who belongs here,I'm carrying Alessandro's child, so I belong here more than you do."

"You mean the fake pregnancy?" Luica said

"How dare you say that!"

"She's right, you know,This is all just a charade, and you know it."

"Alessandro, will you just sit down and let them talk to me like this?"

"I didn't want to get involved,But since you mentioned my name, I have to say something. Rosalba, are you really pregnant?"

Rosalba turned to Alessandro, her eyes welling up with tears. "What are you talking about? Of course I'm pregnant!"

"Your imagination is getting the best of you," Chiara  said,

"Shut up!" Rosalba snapped,. "You have no right to talk to me like that."

Luica folded her arms across her chest, her face hard and unyielding. "And you have no right to lie to us like this."

Alessandro stood up, his chair scraping against the floor as he walked towards Rosalba. He leaned down, his face inches from hers.

"I know you're not pregnant, You're faking it, you bitch. I should punish you, but I don't hit women. So I'll tell you this in plain English: pack your bags and get out of my house."

"What are you talking about, Alessandro?" Rosalba stammered. "Because I'm..."

"I said, not another word!Do as I say, or I'll make you regret it. I don't want to come home and find you here." With that, he turned on his heel and walked out of the room.

"I think he said it all, my dear,You should leave this house."luica said

"I'll come back for you! You bitch! I'll make you pay for what you've done!"

"You're not thinking straight,You need to take a deep breath and calm down."luica said

"Don't tell me to calm down!" Rosalba yelled

"Hey, you're upsetting my unborn child! Please stop screaming."Chiara said

"You heard her!" Luica said "Just stand up and pack your things."

Elena stepped into the office and was greeted by Sebastiano."Oh, you're back!It's good to see you again."

"I couldn't just sit at home doing nothing,I hope Mr. Alessandro will accept me back."

"Of course he will!" Sebastiano said, clapping her on the back.

"I hope so,"

"And be careful on your way home,You know that Massimo is still out there, looking for you."

"I know, But I'm not going to let him scare me. I'm going to stay strong and keep moving forward."

Sebastiano smiled, his eyes full of admiration. "That's the spirit!"  giving her a quick hug. "You're going to be just fine."
