CHAPTER 1
some months later
The hot wind blew my hair while riding in a convertible
by the beach. Ariana Grande and her Break free song, which is
adapted to my situation like no other in the world, reverberated
through the speakers. If you want it, take it - she sang, and I nodded
nodding to each word and making the music even louder.
Today was my birthday, today, theoretically, I was a year older than
yesterday, today I should be depressed, and the truth is that I never before
I had felt so alive.
When I stopped the car at the traffic lights, the chorus started. The short ones
exploded around me, and my wonderful mood
did have to sing with her.
— His is... the part... when I say I don't want ya... I'm stronger than 6
I've been before... — shouting with Ariana, waving my hands for
whole place. A young man, whose car stopped right next to him, smiled
coquettishly and was amused by my behavior, hitting the
steering wheel to the rhythm of the song. Probably apart from the music and
unusual behavior, my suit caught his attention, today I had no
too much put on me.
The black bikini was perfect for me, purple plymouth , everything
it fit because it was amazing. My car, beautiful and unique, was a
birthday gift. Of course I knew my man didn't know
would stop there, but I liked being pampered because maybe
it was the end of the gifts.
It started a month ago: every day, for my birthday, he gave me something

new. Thirty, that was my birthday, so thirty days of
gifts... that's how he saw it. I turned my eyes to this thought and
I moved when the light turned green.

bottle was empty, he lunged at me and knocked me into the sand.
"Happy birthday," he whispered. -Love you.
At that moment, his tongue slid leisurely into my mouth and
began to do slow gymnastics. I moaned, wrapping my hands
around his neck and spread my legs as he moved his

of a vacuum cleaner, I thought it would be better if Black didn't see it.

My voice was barely audible, and every word was painful. Wanted to
scream, get out of bed and shout that question, to force Black to
finally tell me the truth.
He got up, calmly grabbed the quilt and covered my body
ragged. His eyes were dead, and as he looked at him, he grew in
me the desperation, in addition to the horror.
"He's dead," he got up, caught his breath, and turned to the
window. "The bullet came too close... It was too small..."

It was when I opened my eyes and every time I fell asleep and woke up
again. He wouldn't give up on me. He read to me, brought me movies,
combed and washed me. To my horror, I discovered that he also did this
last thing when he was unconscious, he didn't let the
nurses approach me. I wonder how he endured the fact
that the doctors who operated on me were men.
From what I learned from his laconic statements, I was shot in
the kidney. It couldn't be saved. Fortunately, a human has two, and living
with one it is nothing terrible, as long as he is healthy. During the
operation, my heart decided to refuse to cooperate. I wasn't surprised
especially. I was surprised that the doctors managed.
Something became accessible, they sewed something, they cut something else and
it was supposed to work. The doctor, who was performing the
procedure, he told me about it for a good hour, showing
drawings and graphs on the tablet screen. Unfortunately,
my english was not good enough to cover the details of
your speech. Also, in my state of mind I was really indifferent. 12

The word "child" was removed from our dictionary, and the name

Internet, and tears flooded my eyes.

I approached my husband.
"What are you doing?" He asked with annoyance and put me on the
wheelchair that was against the wall. Later, he squeezed
ogre teeth and cursed in Italian and slowly pushed the chair
towards my room.

reproach. There was an awkward silence, in which only the
deep breaths from my husband. "You should rest," he said,
changing the subject. "Tomorrow we go home."
It was a difficult night. From time to time I woke up from my
dreams, in which children, incubators and women appeared
pregnant. I was hoping that at home I could get away from all those
thoughts that tormented me. In the morning, I couldn't
wait for Massimo to leave me alone and go bother the
medical council that had met in connection with my discharge. The
doctors were not very happy that my husband took me out of
hospital. They did not think that the treatment was over.

Another thought made me petrify.
After all, I was no longer pregnant and could enter me in
any moment. The horror that had overwhelmed my body was
even paralyzing. The streams of thoughts and scripts that
