—Thank you for waiting for me, thank you for not bothering you.

—I shouldn't bother you, he's your friend, he's part of your life.

—This bed is very soft, I like it.

"She's yours now," he caresses my back. I don't want you to sleep in any bed other than mine, because in this same bed I will make you mine countless times, Emily.

I start laughing, that sounds quite compromising to me, quite possessive and in some way I liked it because I was the same. I didn't like anyone touching me, I didn't like anyone looking at what belonged to me and even with David I was very jealous.

—And I don't want you to wear anyone else's clothes, I accept David's, but in life you should wear someone else's clothes again, only mine, okay?

—I like the way your clothes feel on my body, I don't really like dresses that steal my breath, I like this... —I sigh again, I don't open my eyes at any time—, the comfort.

—Okay, Emily.

I remain silent until sleep overcomes me and in my own thoughts I see myself reaching that part of my life where all those who made me feel bad at the time receive me on their knees, because the best proposal has arrived, the best challenge, the best play.

Emily Fiore may surprise more than one.

I can be that woman who appropriates everything she wants without the owner realizing it, she does it until her life, her heart, her body, her mind or whatever it is is completely mine.

That's what I like about myself and I say this because today, after everything I just experienced, I woke up to the confident woman I was before, with goals, challenges and the confidence to end everything that stood in her way.

I wasn't going to let anyone take the opportunity away from me, it's this one, take it or leave it.

And I cannot lose in life because that means not growing and not moving forward, I have to do it while others rot behind me trying to return me to the starting place where everything in my life was wrong.

Everything in life can take a turn if we want to face the changes no matter how difficult it is.

I am more than determined to make that change and give the necessary turn to my new life.

CHAPTER 12

LET'S TRY, LET'S TRY... IT DOESN'T MATTER

???????????????

Emily

When I got up I already had Salvatore by my side analyzing a couple of things on his computer, he put everything aside to give me some medication necessary to prevent the blood from clotting in the most affected areas. He places me on the bed and then subtly kisses my lips. At nine o'clock we receive breakfast in bed and he analyzes my wounds and puts an ointment prescribed by the doctor on the most affected areas.

—The bruises will disappear with this ointment, although we will be applying ice.

—You're like my doctor.

"Anytime," he winks at me, "after all I'm good at examining a couple of areas."

—Are you a gynecologist?

—It could be if you have any illness.

"My crotch hurts," he narrows his eyes. You started it, check me out.

—Not now, you're delicate, let it cool down.

Peak of this and that, my face in general hurts and I feel like my left eye is swollen. Fortunately I can see well, there are no spills, just the burning from the wounds that are trying to create enzymes and make me heal.

While reviewing the data on his computer, he eats some of the bread that is in a basket and accompanies it with American coffee.
