Alessandro returns to his apartment wanting to avoid Carlotta. He did not believe in himself not to say something that would stress Carlotta out. However, he took Carlotta's phone with him. He was afraid Carlotta asked someone to pick him up and take him away from Castello Ferrara.
The man was afraid of not being able to see Carlotta again for a long time. Moreover, now he knows that the child in the womb of the girl is his child.
My God, he's gonna be a dad soon. Alessandro felt scared, angry, but also secretly happy. Seeing Carlotta's enlarged stomach as a result of his actions made him feel possessive. Carlotta is now entirely his. No one can take the woman from him. Not now and not forever.
And the doctor who was assigned to Alessandro's grandfather examined Carlotta said that the baby in the womb of the girl was male. Alessandro doesn't believe this. He will soon have a son!
Still smiling happily, Alessandro decided to look around Carlotta's phone while it was in her hand. He knew it was an invasion of privacy, but he was too curious.
The first thing he opened was messaging. Carlotta doesn't send a lot of messages to other people. Alessandro suspects that all contacts on Carlotta's phone have been screened through the manager, Marco Bruni. Alessandro appreciates Marco's hard work in keeping Carlotta so far. Real nice. Not many men get a chance to get close to his Carlotta.
The messages in Carlotta's cell phone were dominated by Marco Bruni and the Carlotta brothers. The message that recently came in came from Giacomo Marinelli. Then, Alessandro checked the contacts Carlotta had stored on that phone. Carlotta kept Johann von Schiller's contacts, but had no Roberto Mancini contacts. Carlotta has no relationship with her ex-fiance. Alessandro felt guilty for saying stupid things because of emotions.
Switching from the contact menu, Alessandro opens a photo gallery. Lots of photos shot Carlotta from various angles. Advertising photos, latest movie viewing posters, reality show guest stars, and so on. Alessandro quickly copied the photos to his laptop. For the archives, he convinced himself. Not because of anything.
And geez, Carlotta was so beautiful that Alessandro didn't want her beauty to be seen by anyone other than herself.
Then, Alessandro found a folder containing old photos. Photos from ten years ago. Alessandro's heart stopped beating. He was surprised not to see Carlotta still keep all their memories together.
Everything was. There are thousands of photos of them when they were lovers. None are missing. Alessandro opened one of his favorite photos first. In the photo, Carlotta is eating ice cream by the river. Alessandro pranks him by biting all Carlotta's ice cream in one bite, leaving only his cone. Then, Alessandro took a selfie of them both set against the backdrop of the Adige River and Ponte Scaligero, the most famous bridge in Verona. Alessandro likes that one photo, because Carlotta who is pouting looks adorable.
The next photo opened by Alessandro was a photo of them together at Carlotta's 16th birthday party. Alessandro had nothing at the time, so he picked flowers in the garden and arranged them into a small bouquet. Although not an expensive object like the other friends gave, Carlotta seemed happy to receive Alessandro's gift.
Alessandro closed the photos and tried to calm down. Butterflies flew in his heart. The happiness that once existed when he was with Carlotta reappeared.
Could Carlotta still love him?

Carlotta was upset half dead. Alessandro placed him in his room, in his family home, but he did not reveal his nose even once during these five days. Superfluity.
On his third day at Ferrara's house, Carlotta could not bear to continue to rest in the room. He forced his way out of bed and took a walk to the park. At times, Alessandro's grandmother and grandfather accompanied him, but he was often alone.
Basic Alessandro is brash. Just watch out if you come home later. Carlotta had planned to be angry with him.
In the afternoon, Carlotta sat in the park reading a book she had taken from the family library. The genealogy of the Ferrara family is dated to the time of Emperor Augustus. Not yet finished he read, a person suddenly loomed before him.
It was not that on any other day the man was not dazzling. It was just that, for some reason, today the man was emitting a different aura. The same aura that Carlotta met her ten years ago in the garden of her home.
Carlotta was about to stand up, but was not sure that her legs would be able to support her squeezed body just because it was viewed as such by Alessandro. So he sat down and didn't know what to do.
Alessandro crouched down before him, making their eyes on the same level.
"Good afternoon, Cara Mia. How are you today?" Alessandro smiled. His hand moved to hold Carlotta's hand.
Carlotta was planning on getting angry, but the plan was to stay. The woman could not prevent herself from returning Alessandro's smile. "I'm fine."
Alessandro nodded with satisfaction. The man took Carlotta's hand he had just held, then pointed it at his lips. Alessandro landed a soft kiss on the back of Carlotta's hand. "I hope our baby is okay too?" The man asked.
Carlotta almost cried when she heard Alessandro call her baby 'our baby'. It feels so amazing. So, Carlotta smiled and said, "I want her to be born soon. He makes me swell like an elephant."
Alessandro looked at her intensely, his eyes filled with strange foreign emotions. Something that feels like love. "If you're an elephant, then you're a beautiful elephant. I also want him to be born soon. But, don't be so quick. Can I kiss her?"
Carlotta nodded.
Alessandro cupped Carlotta's face, then kissed her lips gently. Carlotta gasped small. Her stomach churned a little, but it had nothing to do with the fetus she contained. He just felt a little nervous.
"The mother first." Alessandro blinked one eye at Carlotta, before looking down and kissing Carlotta's rounded belly.
Carlotta gasped once more as Alessandro made contact with his stomach.
"Have you been told? Our son's a boy." Alessandro.
Carlotta widened her eyes enthusiastically. "really?"
Alessandro. "Have you prepared a name?"
Carlotta shuddered in shame. "You can name it if you want."
Alessandro smiled. He stood up, then sat down next to Carlotta. To appreciate this amazing woman who was pregnant with her son, Alessandro held Carlotta in his arms. Before long, Alessandro begins to kiss Carlotta. Starting from the neck, to the back of the ear, to the lips of the girl who had opened for him.
Carlotta gasped for breath when Alessandro had already stopped kissing her. His eyes were clouded and so unfocused.
"I want you, Carlotta." Alessandro whispers.
Carlotta nodded. When speaking, his voice was like a person who had just woken up from a long sleep. "I am too."
