Prisioner In Your Arms

Sondra stood still, watching as everyone embraced Nicole. Why did she have it all? She had loving parents and Bruno’s love, and Sondra didn’t consider it fair.

She left the hospital with her head down, her tears blending with the rain that had started to fall again. The sound assured her that an electrical storm was about to begin. She was certain that the sky empathized with her situation, as it seemed to cry and feel the same fury she did.

She walked for some time, fortunately the hospital was in the same area as her parents’ house, so after an hour she stood in front of the enormous entrance gate to the property. She pressed the intercom button to be allowed in. Minutes later, two staff members opened the small side door and left her suitcases outside. Without saying a word, they turned around and walked away. She stood there for a while, observing her luggage.

Then she began to walk. She had to move with one suitcase and then come back for the other. She called several of her friends, but they were just as shallow and self-interested as she was. Whenever she told them about her situation, they came up with a thousand excuses not to help her.

She felt tired and aimless. Her phone had little battery left. At least it had stopped raining. She shivered from the cold, with her soaked clothes. She sat down on one of the suitcases and at that moment, she remembered Shelsy. She was her last option, so she dialed her number, hoping she would help.

“Hello.”

“Shelsy, it’s Sondra.”

“Yes, tell me.”

“I’m in trouble. My parents kicked me out of the house and cut off their support because of that stupid Nicole. I need your help. I’m standing on the side of the road with no money and nowhere to go.”

“I can temporarily accommodate you. You might have heard that my family is in ruins. My parents lost everything, even the properties. They left the city and went to Pavía. My grandmother left them a small house there. I’m staying at Leandro’s place. Where exactly are you?”

“On the road that leads to my parents’ house.”

“Wait for me there. I’m on my way.”

“Okay, thank you. I’ll wait here.”

Shelsy hurried to pick her up. She didn’t know how long it would take for Leandro to arrive, but as soon as he notified her, Sondra had to leave immediately. Leandro couldn’t stand her for all the harm she had caused Nicole.

Minutes later, she saw Sondra by the side of the road. The scene was pitiful. Sondra, who cared so much about her appearance, was drenched and her makeup was running. Shelsy pulled over next to her.

“Hi, get in.” She opened the trunk for her to put her luggage in.

“Thank you. I really appreciate it. I’m tired and hungry.”

“You can stay with me for a few days. As soon as Leandro lets me know he’s coming back, you’ll have to leave immediately. He must not find out under any circumstances that I let you into his house. You’ll have to temporarily dye your hair. If the staff members happen to mention that someone was brought into the house, he’ll know it’s you if they mention your hair color.”

“I know. I’ll have to change the color.”

Shelsy made a stop to buy the hair dye. Upon arriving at the property, Shelsy led Sondra to one of the rooms. Fortunately, the staff members were busy with their duties and didn’t notice their arrival.

“While you take a shower and dye your hair, I’ll arrange for them to prepare some dinner for you,” Shelsy said. Later, when Sondra came downstairs, Shelsy was amazed at how good she looked.

“Wow, you look incredible,” Shelsy exclaimed.

Sondra smiled. Her long fiery hair had transformed into a beautiful jet-black cascade.

“The black color suits you so well. It highlights the fairness of your skin and accentuates your features. I think it was a great choice of color,” Shelsy remarked.

“Thank you.”

At the hospital, Noah was in stable condition. He had been moved to a room so that his family could visit him. The doctor allowed them only a brief moment, and then only one person could stay.

“Dad, Daddy, you have to recover soon, so you’ll be strong when your grandson is born,” Nicole said. Noah couldn’t hear her because he was asleep, but Emma heard her. They still didn’t know the wonderful news. Emma approached Nicole and hugged her.

“I’m so happy to hear that you’ll be a mother again. It’s good news amidst everything,” Emma said with a smile, resting her head on Nicole’s shoulder while holding her husband’s hand.

“You see, sweetheart, you have to recover soon. We’ll be grandparents again, and I want us to enjoy our grandchild together”

Emma cried, and Nicole felt a tightness in her chest. Bruno watched them from a corner of the room, considering it was time to take Nicole away so she could rest.

“I think now that Noah is stable, we should leave so you can rest, remember what the doctor told you,” Bruno said.

“Is everything okay with the baby?” Emma asked anxiously. She was concerned about the pregnancy. Despite feeling excited about the news, she felt they should have been more careful and waited a bit longer.

“Nicole has anemia, and considering what happened before, she needs to take care of herself and have rest,” Bruno explained.

“Go and rest, my daughter. These emotions are not good for you. I’ll inform you about anything that happens. I won’t leave your father’s side,” Emma said, holding Nicole tightly to say goodbye.

“I’ll come back in the morning to see how things are going,” Nicole replied.

Bruno believed that Nicole shouldn’t be going back and forth, and that it would be better for her to stay and rest. However, he didn’t want to upset her by saying so.

“I’ll try to come back early from the office so I can pick you up. I’ll feel more at ease if I accompany you,” Bruno suggested.

In Italy, Sergio gave orders to his men.

“Track down the families of the bodyguards who are with Deborah. Inform them that I’m offering one million euros to anyone who delivers her and the child. I’m sure those men won’t take long to reach out to their families,” Sergio commanded.

Sergio knew that one way or another, someone would betray Deborah. One million euros was a tempting amount, and no matter how much she paid them, it couldn’t compare to what he was offering.

Leandro tried to locate him, but it was impossible. His father had changed his number. Sergio knew that since he couldn’t force them to do what he wanted, they would freeze his accounts and seize his properties at any moment. So he kept a large amount in a hidden account in a bank located on an island, under a different name to avoid tracing. For now, he ceased to be Sergio De Santis and became Ricardo Moronne.

He felt incredibly stressed and decided to go to a local bar with some of his men. He left men outside to keep watch, three more to monitor closely, and two of his men accompanied him for drinks. He didn’t like doing it alone.

On the dance floor in front of his table, a dim purple light illuminated, and scantily clad girls appeared as soft music started playing.

Sergio licked his lips. Those two beauties had to spend the night with him. Since Deborah had left his nightlife, that woman had been a relentless watchdog, constantly monitoring him. Now that he was away from her, he intended to have some fun.

One of the girls noticed the man sitting at the table near the dance floor. Though he was mature, he still exuded attractiveness. She approached him and began to sway her body in front of him. Sergio quickly finished his whiskey. That woman didn’t know what she was getting into by provoking him in that way.

After their performance, the girls went to their dressing rooms. Sergio asked to speak with the manager, gave him a large sum of money, and requested that the two girls be sent to his hotel immediately.

“Albergo Quadrato di Segale, main suite.”

The man nodded and turned to talk to the girls.

Later, the receptionist called Sergio’s suite to inform him that two girls were looking for him. He ordered them to be guided to his room.

Upon opening the door, he saw the beautiful girls in front of him-one was a stunning blonde, and the other a fiery brunette. He invited them inside. He had ordered champagne; he intended to toast with these girls, reveling in the freedom of not having a woman spying on his conversations or monitoring his every move.

The girls were well-versed in their profession, and it was a delight for him to watch them caress each other. Later, he indulged in their bodies throughout the night. The guests in the adjacent room complained about the noise and the indiscreet moans of the girls, who were not discreet due to their profession.

Fortunately, on that floor, there were only those two suites, so they offered to move the guests to another room. Usually, the person who rented the main suite was someone important, so they didn’t dare reprimand them.

In Pavía, Deborah, tired of being confined, went for a walk with Santi. There was a medieval festival in Vigevano, so she asked for costumes for both of them. Santi was delighted, enjoying the medieval battles and traditional games, especially when they visited the beautiful Visconteo Sforzesco Castle.

She missed her parents, but distracting Santi was easy due to his young age. Deborah was unsure whether she should return him to his parents or keep him by her side. She felt happy with his company, and letting him go meant being completely alone, which she didn’t think she could handle.

So the days went by, Sergio alleviating his loneliness in the company of those girls, and Deborah spending time with her grandson.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Leandro continued searching for them without finding any clues. Bruno, desperate to regain his son and trying to ensure that Nicole rested completely, wouldn’t allow her to lose their baby again. Two months had passed, and time felt endless for them. Noah had recovered but still had to follow instructions and undergo treatment.

Sondra remained at Leandro’s house, and Shelsy asked her to find a job as she couldn’t continue supporting her financially. She needed to save money for when her baby was born. Shelsy didn’t know how Leandro would react, so she had to be prepared for any eventuality.
