Prisioner In Your Arms

Bruno and Nicole were enjoying their honeymoon. They had barely seen Dante and Sophie, as they had explored much of the beautiful island. It felt like being in a completely different world, wonderful and peaceful.

“The island of the gods, now I understand why it’s called that,” Bruno said, standing on the beach and gazing at the beautiful turquoise waters. He was barefoot on the soft sand, feeling like they were in paradise on Earth.

Nicole was playing in the water, resembling a little girl. She was collecting some seashells, and when she had gathered several, she would return them to the sea.

“What are you doing?” Bruno asked, amused.

“I’m observing these little shells. They all have something different,” she replied. Bruno looked at them, seeing them all as absolutely identical.

He approached her and kissed her neck, a playful smile forming on his lips.

“How about we postpone our trip to Ubud until tomorrow?” he suggested, hoping she would accept his proposal.

“What plans do you have for today, Mr. Leone?” she replied with a smile, pretending not to understand.

“Well, actually, I have many plans, but they all involve being inside our room, just you and me, Mrs. Leone. And this would last for a very, very long time,” he said.

“Hmm, perfect. With those arguments, you have completely convinced me,” she responded.

They returned to their room, hand in hand. Their desire for each other had not diminished, but rather grown. They knew very well how to bring pleasure to each other.

Bruno knew every part of Nicole’s perfect body, every curve, every line. He could describe each one flawlessly, even with his eyes completely closed. There was no one else for either of them. They were two souls united for eternity.

The same went for Nicole. Bruno’s body seemed perfect to her, all those muscles that only she could caress, his well-toned abdomen. It was incredible how they enjoyed each other, the pleasure they could feel when they were together. It was as if they were floating in an intense whirlwind that absorbed them until they exploded into millions of particles that spread throughout the room.

Dante and Sophie also enjoyed each other’s company. They were a perfect match, two crazy people deeply in love, enjoying their bodies.

A month later, they returned home and were welcomed by their family and friends. A welcome meal was organized in Bruno and Nicole’s garden.

They spent a pleasant afternoon, happy to be back with their children. Dante and Bruno had learned to tolerate Shelsy, especially for little Leandro. They knew she had changed and was dedicated to her son. Moreover, the little boy was identical to his father.

Emma and Noah traveled to Italy a few days later to visit their daughter. They hoped to find a more conscious and mature Sondra. They were surprised to learn that she was studying nursing. Her sentence would be reduced for good behavior. The doctor at the facility was young and attractive. He had fallen in love with her as soon as he met her. She told him everything she had done, and he didn’t care about her past. He was interested in who she had become. They planned to marry as soon as she was released from that place.

“Mom, Dad, it’s so good to see you! I thought you would never forgive me,” Sondra never thought her parents would visit her.

“You know we love you, daughter, and we’re thrilled that you’ve turned your life around. Your sister will be glad to hear that you’re doing well. She has always asked us to visit you.”

“I hope she can forgive me someday. I caused her a lot of pain, and I’m truly sorry. I also apologize to all of you. I need your forgiveness to move on with my life. I know I’ve been cruel and selfish. I caused a lot of harm to everyone with my actions.”

Her parents told her what had happened with Leandro. Sondra felt saddened. He didn’t deserve to end that way. He had always tried to help others; he was a good man.

Meanwhile, in a psychiatric hospital in Milan, a man had to be constantly restrained in a straitjacket. They couldn’t release him because he would harm himself. He spoke all day with his son, then remembered that he had killed him and screamed in remorse. He lived in a loop, reliving that day over and over again. Most of the time, he remained sedated. Who would have thought he would end up suffering exactly as he had made Rina suffer?

Years later…

It was Santi’s fourteenth birthday, and they were all gathered together, as they did every Sunday. It had become a tradition they enjoyed. Any excuse was perfect for them to come together and celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. They didn’t let any special occasion pass without celebration. There were parties all year round.

Little Leand and little Leandro would soon turn seven, and they would have a big party. As always, they would celebrate together. They were inseparable.

Nicole watched her husband as he played with the children. He was the perfect man in every way. A few gray hairs were starting to show among his hair, but far from looking older, he looked very attractive. She felt her husband’s gaze on her and smiled. He looked for a way to escape from the children and approached her.

“For heaven’s sake, woman, don’t look at me like that, or I’ll take your hand and whisk you away from here right now,” he joked.

Nicole smiled playfully. He approached her and kissed her large belly. They had decided to have one last pregnancy, but this time it was twins. Bruno nearly fainted when he saw them on the ultrasound. He was thrilled. Now they would be six in their family, and they would need a bigger car. Bruno had wanted to buy a house with many more rooms, but Nicole didn’t allow it. She loved their current home and there would still be plenty of space even when the twins arrived.

Sophie was also pregnant, expecting a boy. Dante was excited about it. He adored their daughter, Danna, but he wanted a son to play soccer with. So far, they only played tea parties and dolls with their daughter, and he didn’t complain, but there were certain things he could share differently with his son, like being able to dress exactly alike, just like Sophie did with their daughter.

Amadeus and Máx lived in the city but traveled constantly. They were very indulgent uncles who brought gifts from all over the world. They always sought them out because they loved hearing their stories.

Everyone was gathered around the large table when the doorbell rang. Sara got up to see who it was.

She was surprised to see that it was Sondra, accompanied by her husband and their little daughter. She was a beautiful child with red hair like her mother’s and large green eyes.

Emma, who already knew she would come, approached and asked to come in. Nicole saw her and went over to greet her. She held no resentment in her heart, after all, Emma was her sister.

Sondra apologized to everyone, especially to her sister. She introduced her husband, Vittorio, and their beautiful daughter, Emma. Their mother felt happy that she named her after her. Soon, everyone was joyfully interacting, determined not to let anything tarnish their happiness.

Two months later, Nicole gave birth to a boy and a girl. They were beautiful. Bruno happily admired the miracle of life. This time, Nicole almost tore off his entire arm, not just his hand, as she squeezed it during Leandro’s birth.

“Have you thought about their names?” Bruno asked curiously.

“I have no idea this time. Give me some options,” Nicole replied.

“Maybe Andrés and Andrea, Carlo and Carla, Antón and Antónella.”

“I don’t like those. Give me others.”

“Uhmm, Sandro and Sandra, Stephan and Stephania, Alejandro and Alexandra, Alex and Alexa, Dan and Danha.”

“Those ones, I like them for our little ones,” Nicole decided.

Bruno looked at her puzzled. He had mentioned so many names that he wasn’t sure which ones she was referring to.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Alejandro and Alexandra,” she clarified.

“I like that. They are perfect names for our little children,” Bruno smiled, pleased.

Later, the whole family surrounded Nicole. The room was filled with gifts. Fortunately, they had chosen a clinic with large rooms. Sophie and Dante brought their two children with them, little Danna and little Dante.

“What a beautiful family God has given us. Not everyone is blessed like this,” René said to Mara with a sigh, observing everyone.

They were all gathered there: René with Mara, Gío with Rina, Noah with Emma, Dante and Sophie, Amadeus and Máx, and Sondra with Vittorio, along with Sara, Bertha, and all the children.

“We are so fortunate to have all of you in our lives. Nicole and I truly appreciate your constant support. You know that you can always count on us as well,” Bruno expressed his gratitude.

The next day, they left the hospital. Bruno carried the double baby carrier with the twins, and everyone welcomed them home.

Later, in their room, Nicole and Bruno watched their little twins sleeping.

“Aren’t they precious?” Nicole whispered, filled with joy.

“They are divine, perfect. Thank you, my love. Truly, thank you for being in my life. Little did I know that the day you walked into that room would become the best day of my life. I love you for eternity, my darling,” Bruno confessed.

“I feel the same way. I used to think that day was the beginning of my misfortune, but now I see that God had something beautiful in store for me in this life. You and our children are the most beautiful and greatest blessings I have received. If I were asked if I would change anything in my past, I wouldn’t. Everything happened for a reason to bring us to this day. I love you, Bruno Leone, for the rest of our days and even beyond,” Nicole expressed her deep love.

Bruno approached her and kissed her with infinite tenderness. They had the rest of their lives and all of eternity to love each other unconditionally. Nothing could ever separate them.
