CHAPTER 55

Jenna arrived at his hidden refuge very happy to have seen him to have heard him, to have touched him, felt his skin and kissed his lips, she entered smiling and walked slowly until she sat on a sofa in the living room.

Alice watched her and was happy to see her so happy and asked.

"My girl Jenna, what happened up there? I just saw you happy, would you like to tell me all about it, Mr. Mark, was he asleep?"

She was so happy that she did not hesitate to narrate to him what happened with hair and signs, she did not omit anything, her nana on hearing her became cheerful saying.

"My girl you must feel so full to see him and hear him tell you that he misses you that he loves you that he wants to ask for your forgiveness, what do you think if we celebrate tomorrow we go to the mall to buy whatever you like".

"What a good idea nana, tomorrow we go for a walk, how happy I was to see him again".

While the new day arrived at the Black mansion waking up the owner and his friends who slept there, Marck woke up happy remembering his dream he entered to take a bath, while he soaped up his mind played with him he felt as if she was next to his body he felt her scent his breath, he closed his eyes for a few moments saying.

"I hope I find you my love to tell you how much I love you, I am dying without you, but I will try not to do stupid things again, I am not like that, I let myself be carried away by the guilt of having offended you, I want to be with you and with our son".

He walked out of there with the towel around his waist and drying his hair with another one when a light knock sounded at the door and Oliver's voice asking.

"Marck are you awake yet, can I come in buddy?" receiving the reply from him.

"Come in Oliver" he opened the door and saw his friend sitting up in bed already bathed and commented.

"Loretta is downstairs ordering breakfast, she wants us to go to the company you must settle some business, that you must calm down a little and stop making those scandals that get you nowhere."

Mark looked at him with a smile and remarked amused.

"When not Loretta, more like my wife than my friend, she wants to control me in everything hahaha, but she's absolutely right I've been behaving like an idiot when the only thing I should do is... look for Jenna to ask her for that forgiveness that I need so much, so she doesn't hate me and continue loving her as I love her and she loves me."

She dressed and preened her hair in front of her mirror and spoke.

"You know Oliver that... I dreamt about Jenna I saw her as if she was next to me, I felt her hand grab mine to put it on her belly to feel my child that is in there, I felt that... she kissed me can you believe it? I dreamt that his beautiful lips joined mine."

Oliver watched him with all the desire to tell him that it wasn't a dream it was real Jenna's visit, but he bit his tongue as they promised not to tell him anything so he opted to comment in surprise.

"What a nice dream Marck, but now we must go down to breakfast you must get back to being responsible for your work man, Loretta is very worried about you."

He was ready again was the elegant and handsome man they walked out of there and down the stairs as they reached the last step Loretta spotted him and spoke with her hands placed on her hips.

"Until Mr. crazy shit woke up, last night a little more and they kill you idiot, oh and another little thing dear when we brought you here drunk and passed out we met your parents, we had to give them explanations of what you were doing stupid things, they left very worried they thought they would come to talk to you here, but I already called them that you are going to go to the company to settle some business and they will look for you there and talk, for now I want you both sitting down for breakfast".

Marck advanced his steps to get to be next to his great friend and hugged her very tight saying.

"If it wasn't for your care Loretta I... would be a man lost in the darkness of my pain, thank you for loving me and putting up with me so much."

Loretta pulled out of his embrace and grabbed him with her fingers pulling his ear and speaking angrily.

"You have had me with Jesus in my mouth, last night we found you fighting with some customers at Oliver's Night Club and be thankful I was there and defended you geez, your parents discovered us when we brought you here we had to give them explanations and make them go to rest, they wanted to stay to talk to you, but you know my power of conviction, well right now we are going to have breakfast to go to your company you have had it abandoned."

"Very well my mistress, I am at your service hahaha, I love you Loretta always by my side, oh I had a dream friend, I dreamt with Jenna" spoke very happy Marck to which she commented.

"You had a dream about Jenna? let's see, tell me everything".

He told her everything in detail, looking at her who opened her mouth in amazement when she heard him speak, to which she gave her opinion.

"Mark that's a sign that she still loves you and will forgive you, but you must put things in order first, have breakfast and we'll go to your company, I've seen you behave like a disobliged of your duties at this point, then talk to your parents and we'll go somewhere, Richard is investigating Jenna's whereabouts, you must calm down man, I know he'll find her".

In another part of the city a beautiful woman woke up, she had dreamed of a man who was not her husband, a very different man, a gentleman of cloak and sword, her mind revealed the image of that attractive man, delicate in treating her and who was in love with her because he showed it to her by kissing her and she also because she reciprocated that kiss full of love more than desire, because she felt the same as before when they were young Luiggi and she when he told her full of love that he loved her and Amanda answered him the same, because she loved him vehemently.

That beautiful and beautiful memory made her sob when she remembered the monstrous evidence that she had lived deceived, she had married a cruel, sadistic, cursed, torturing man, a man who only knew how to harm, extort, abuse, sell pain, murder.

Although with her he was very loving, sweet even delicate, it was only when he was looking at pictures of Judith that he changed his way of being and became a little cruel or disgusted, but he had learned to cope with it because of love, a love with deceit on the part of her husband.

She watched herself in the mirror while she was grooming her hair, her mind made her see the imposing figure of Luiggi smiling at her and leaning out behind her to kiss her hair he was so loving to her, but suddenly his countenance turned hard, malevolent a sardonic and violent smile, his hands full of blood and Amanda screamed in fright.

"No Luiggi please... get away from me... I don't love you anymore. Get out of here please..."

And she burst into tears, a light knocking on her door made her react and a familiar voice, the voice of Andretti one of her employees asking.

"Mrs. Amanda, are you all right, may I come in?" I answered sadly.

"Come in Andrietta" The girl entered very worried because she heard her screams and asked.

"Mrs. Amanda is that... I heard you screaming very scared, but... I see that you are alone".

Amanda dried her tears and spoke more calmly.

"Don't worry Andrietta I'm fine just... I imagined my husband was here... well nothing is wrong, please see if my breakfast is ready... I have to go to the company to check accounts and so on".

"Ok ma'am" The employee left more calmly while Amanda was getting ready to go downstairs, have breakfast and go to her former husband's company".

While she was having breakfast she received a call which she answered immediately.

"Hello, good morning, who am I speaking to?"

"Good morning, Amanda, this is Oliver."

She heard his voice and her mood lifted, her countenance became cheerful and radiant.

"Hello, Oliver how are you?"

"Good Amanda I wanted to ask you. if you want to go to lunch with me?

"Oh Oliver yes I do, but I have to go check on some business at the company, from... Luiggi since he is not in charge."

"Do you want Amanda to come with you? To put your mind at ease."

"Okay thanks, but what time are you coming?"

"In fifteen minutes I'm coming to pick you up."

"I'll wait for you then."

"Alright, I'll be there, bye."

Amanda as she closed the call pressed the cell phone to her chest at the sight of the cook who smiled seeing her more relaxed and not sad or melancholic as she used to be, she let go of the cell phone finishing her breakfast when she sat up she went to tell her employee.

"Don't wait for me for lunch I was invited out". She who had already been serving him for many years dared to tell him.

"Mrs. Amanda, forgive my boldness, but... who called you is the gentleman who came to visit you the other day? I am telling you this because you deserve better, you are the most tender and good woman I have ever known and you deserve a man like that, Mr. Luiggi well... you know what he did and you lived deceived, well we all lived deceived".

Amanda had a deep appreciation for her employee who inquired.

"You are right we lived deceived by Luiggi, apparently you are very curious hahaha, but I am going to give Oliver a chance, maybe after the trial I will divorce him and he will be free to love without conditions".

"Mrs. Amanda you deserve that and much more, you respected and loved Mr. Luiggi without lies or secrets, while he hid such sordid and unmentionable things that could have led you to pay for what you never committed, but everything was discovered, to see you happy is what all your employees who know you want, to be happy".

A honking sound was heard outside and then a few knocks on the front door which was opened by a guard, ushering in who she so wanted to see, Oliver who as he entered greeted.

"Good morning Amanda are you ready yet?" to her seeing him brightened her life and she replied cheerfully." I'm ready Oliver... let's go."

Oliver very gentlemanly extended his arm to her which she grasped tightly feeling his delicious manly scent and so the two left to get in the car heading to Lombardi Enterprises.

-----------------------------&----------------------------

Curious eyes caught sight of them, his face uncrossed with sadness, but then it was anger that was visible and he spoke furiously.

While the cat is locked up, another one wants to eat the prey, damn it, Luiggi must know this, knowing her, she must have fallen into the clutches of that man who is probably deceiving her, taking advantage of the fact that her husband is in prison, I will not allow it, I will talk to my cousin to see what can be done.

That vigilant man was none other than Carlo Lombardi, Luiggi's cousin, who is very angry to see another man with Amanda, whom he knows as an innocent and very sweet woman'.

----------------------------&------------------------------.

Marck is on his way to his company to solve some issues he left behind by dedicating himself to drinking and scandals and Amanda is falling in love with Oliver who loves her and wants to help her in the company and in her life, but now there is an unplanned threat as Luiggi's cousin is very hurt that they want to take away the wife of a Lombardi, the primordial rule of the family clan is "no one touches the partner of a Lombardi".
