Chapter 1
"Francesca!" Liza, minha melhor amiga, gritou meu nome como de costume.
"Liza, por favor, meus ouvidos não são de pedra," gritei de volta, escovando meu longo cabelo preto e liso e correndo para o quarto dela.
Olá!!!
Eu sou Francesca Martina, tenho 24 anos, sou médica e esposa, sim, esposa, mas chega disso. Nasci em uma família rica de quatro pessoas. Sou a segunda e última filha. Tenho dois pais adoráveis, uma irmã mais velha rude e um cachorro adorável. Minha vida estava indo bem normal, meu pai Martin e minha mãe Rosetta eram os melhores pais até que me colocaram em um casamento por contrato com Damien Lorenzo, um bilionário... Bem, isso era praticamente tudo que eu sabia sobre ele. Nem sequer olhei para o rosto dele no dia do nosso casamento. Casamento civil, para ser precisa. Minha única lembrança dele são seus sapatos, porque fiquei olhando para eles durante os quarenta minutos que passei com ele. A única razão pela qual concordei em me casar com ele foi que não precisávamos morar juntos. Eu nem o vi nos últimos dois anos...
"No que você estava pensando? Parece perdida em pensamentos," Liza disse, olhando para mim com seus olhos castanhos chocolate. Liza é minha melhor amiga, e como moro sozinha na casa de Damien em Nova York e ele mora na Itália, ofereci para ela ficar comigo. Liza é uma loira bonita com lábios cheios e carnudos. Ela tem um rosto oval e cabelo loiro curto. Liza tem altura mediana, é uma advogada de 23 anos. Estamos atualmente no quarto dela nos arrumando para o trabalho. Ela está vestida com uma saia lápis preta e uma camisa branca de botões, acompanhada de saltos pretos.
Eu, por outro lado, estou vestida com um vestido azul até o joelho que abraça minha pele como uma luva. O vestido azul complementa meus olhos azuis como o oceano. Completo o visual com saltos pretos. Olho minha tez no espelho, tenho um rosto em formato de V e lábios rosados e carnudos. Olho para meu cabelo preto e liso e noto minha semelhança com minha irmã. Olhando para o relógio de parede, pego minha bolsa azul e aliso meu cabelo antes de olhar para Liza, que está esperando uma resposta.
"Estou bem, Liza. Ao contrário de você, eu penso antes de falar," digo sorrindo e saindo do quarto.
"Meu Deus, como você ousa!" Liza gritou do quarto.
Rindo para mim mesma, desço cuidadosamente os degraus dourados e corro rapidamente para a cozinha. A cozinha está cheia de qualquer tipo de comida que você possa imaginar. Vou até a geladeira, pego um jarro de suco de laranja e despejo em um copo. Consciente do tempo, pego duas fatias de pão e começo a comer. Quando termino meu pequeno café da manhã, saio da cozinha e vou para a sala de estar.
A sala de estar é um espaço luxuoso com sofás cinza e cortinas prateadas. Eu ofego de surpresa quando noto uma figura masculina ao lado de uma das janelas, de costas para mim. Mesmo surpresa, não estou com medo, pois esta casa é extremamente bem guardada. É tão protegida quanto o Banco da Espanha ou até mesmo a Casa Branca. Não estou exagerando, confie em mim. Para entrar pelos enormes portões, você precisa passar por reconhecimento facial, teste de impressão digital, teste de cartão de identidade, escaneamento corporal, revista de bolsas, etc. Então, se esse cara está aqui, não estou com medo. Reunindo coragem...
"Olá, por favor, quem é você e como podemos ajudá-lo?" pergunto conscientemente. O estranho nem sequer me respondeu e saiu, bufando para mim mesma, noto Liza descendo as escadas.
"O que te demorou tanto?" pergunto, lançando um olhar severo para ela. Sorrindo, Liza corre rapidamente para a cozinha e volta com um copo de suco de laranja e quatro fatias de pão em um prato. Depois de dar um gole no suco, ela diz com uma piscadela...
"Eu estava retocando a maquiagem." Dando-lhe um olhar de desgosto, chamo a cozinheira e governanta Gretta.
"Gretta, estou saindo para o trabalho em breve, o que você quer que eu traga para você?" pergunto enquanto a doce mulher de meia-idade corre para a sala de estar sorrindo.
"Nada, minha querida. Você já me deu presentes suficientes esta semana," ela respondeu sorrindo.
"Oh Gretta, você sabe que te amamos," Liza diz enquanto enche a boca de pão. Bufando para Liza, vou e dou um abraço em Gretta.
"Desculpe por não ter preparado o café da manhã, meninas, a Sra. Lorenzo me pediu para arrumar..." Ouvindo o nome da minha sogra, meu humor estragou de repente, então cortei Gretta respeitosamente.
"Está tudo bem, Gretta, podemos nos virar com o suco de laranja e o pão. Liza, vá deixar seus pratos para podermos sair." Bufando, Liza correu rapidamente para a cozinha, mas não sem me lançar um olhar de reprovação.
"Umm Francesca, você viu aquele homem mais cedo, ele..." Francesca foi interrompida pelo bip do meu telefone. Pegando meu telefone, vi que era uma mensagem do hospital. Peguei minha bolsa rapidamente e beijei Gretta na bochecha.
"Gretta, eu não sei quem ele é, talvez ele esteja aqui para algum dos funcionários, eu realmente preciso ir trabalhar agora. Liza, vamos, me encontre lá fora." Com isso, saí correndo da casa.
"Bom dia, senhora," Rio, o jardineiro alto e animado, me cumprimentou.
"Bom dia, Rio," disse sorrindo enquanto caminhava para a garagem. Notei um Bugatti preto perto dos carros de Liza e meu, mas não dei atenção, fui para meu Range Rover preto e liguei o motor. Vi Liza correndo para seu Lamborghini, mas eu já estava dirigindo em direção ao portão. O porteiro abriu o portão para mim enquanto acenava em cumprimento. Sorrindo para ele, saí da casa. No meu caminho para fora, avistei o mesmo homem estranho voltando para a casa, novamente de costas para mim... Quem será ele, hmm.
