Carlotta had not been able to sleep since Alessandro left her room in a huff that night. The woman coiled ever more tightly in her blanket, but her mind floated out of nowhere. The marriage before his eyes was unreal.
Her hand felt her stomach, felt her baby move. Really, he wanted to cancel his wedding. What will be the fate of his son if Alessandro is unable to love them? He should not have confessed to the man. Why admit this baby belonged to Alessandro if the man wouldn't believe it?
The initial decision was correct. He should have gone and hid. Away from Alessandro. Desperate tears flowed slowly on the woman's cheeks. All he wanted now was to go as far away from here as possible.
Marco said he had a habit of escaping. But, isn't running really the best solution of all things that can't be faced? Wouldn't running away be much better than having a marriage full of suspicion and without trust in it?
Carlotta got up from her sleeping position. Can he run now? Castello Ferrara is already crowded by workers who take care of all the wedding preparations. The decorations have been installed pretty. Sparkling white cloth-lined benches have been placed around luxurious round tables. The flowers have been arranged beautifully all over the place.
In the room Carlotta had occupied herself, someone had entered and installed a mannequin beside her bed. A mannequin wearing the most beautiful wedding dress Carlotta has ever seen. Ciara and Carina chose it for her. The dress was sleeveless, low V-cut, with the bottom of the dress expanding beautifully, as well as an elegant overall shape without too much embellishment. His sisters have good taste, Carlotta has to admit that.
The wedding will be the most spectacular wedding party in all of Italy. Alessandro's grandfather and grandmother invited so many people, that this party almost felt like a folk party. Marco Bruni also did not want to be outdone by inviting all the important people in the entertainment world, ensuring this grand party will be star-studded. The world of business and entertainment will certainly highlight his merciless marriage.
What if Carlotta runs away now? What risks will he have to face later in life? Alessandro might love her. Not as much as he loved the man, he was sure. However, Alessandro obviously would not stay silent if Carlotta did something he did not like.
Carlotta once threw him out on the street, insulted him, scolded him, threw him a hot chocolate that remains in his hands to this day. See what reply the woman got? His family was bankrupted, his house confiscated and torn down, so he was forced to live on the streets and beg for work on his stepfather who had been hated.
When Carlotta saw success with his career, Alessandro was still dissatisfied. The man bought it, got her pregnant, and now does not believe that it was Carlotta who impregnated her under the pretext that night she put on a safety deposit. Carlotta held onto her head which was starting to hurt. He did not want to marry a horrible man like Alessandro. If the man claims to love her, she clearly does not know how to love the right one.
However, if Carlotta were to run away now, it would mean that the woman was making new trouble. And he did not want to guess what punishment Alessandro would give him in the future. It must be a lot more horrible. Anyway, Carlotta just got out of the hospital. His condition has not recovered properly. She did not want to jeopardize her baby's health by taking her son to flee.
The only way that came to his mind was divorce.

Marco and a team of makeup artists along with a line of stylists, dress designers, shoe designers, someone from a florist, and some waitresses entered Carlotta's room in the morning.
"Rise and shine, our beautiful bride!" Marco shouted out coquettishly, full of joy. When he realized Carlotta was awake and sitting on the edge of his bed, he immediately shut his mouth. "Carlotta?" Marco called out in a quieter voice.
Carlotta didn't look at all. His eyes are straight at the wall.
"Carlotta, darling... It's time we get ready for your big day." Marco approached Carlotta while his team was still standing on the other side of the room.
Marco breathed a heavy breath. "My dear, maybe this is just a doubt ahead of the wedding. Many people experience it. That way. If you don't really love each other, you two obviously managed to fool the whole of Italy with your super romantic private engagement in Venice last week."
Carlotta shakes. "I also believed he loved us, Marco. She called my baby 'our baby'. He kissed me and said he loved me. I don't know why I'm so stupid and easy to believe!"
Marco tries to calm down Carlotta who is starting to get hysterical. "Shhh... Carlotta Darling... He may not trust you. But, I think he does love you."
Carlotta get up now. "No, Marco. He went to New York for a week and never asked me how I was!"
Marco massaged his own forehead. "Do you want me to tell him that you've been lying in the hospital for a week?"
Carlotta sat back on the edge of her bed. Energy evaporated. "no need. He won't care."
"Oh, believe me, honey. He cares. And he'll rampage at everyone. Especially to himself. After that she'll get you back to the hospital and won't let you out of there until you give birth safely." Marco laughing.
Carlotta fell silent. "He's gonna act like a crazy person."
Marco sat down beside Carlotta. "Didn't the person who was kasmaran always act like a madman? They will all act stupid, sometimes even shameful. That's the danger of love."
Carlotta looked at Marco. There was a glimmer of hope in the blue eyes of the sea of women. "You really think so?"
Marco nodded. "For God's sake."
Carlotta laughed softly.
"Listen to me, honey. Alessandro may not believe you right now. However, he loves you. She wanted you. You just make him want to trust you again. Show her as much love as you can, and be patient with her. Trust me, he'll love you more someday." Marco spoke solemnly. "Maybe I'm not your parents or your family, Carlotta. And I'm not the one who should give you advice on marriage. But, I just want happiness for you."
Carlotta immediately cried and hugged her best friend. "You're the best family I've chosen for myself over the years, Marco."
Marco hugged Carlotta even tighter. "Thank you, honey. Now, wipe your tears and let's get ready for the grandest wedding of the century."
Carlotta laughed softly. "Should it?"
Marco squinted his eyes. "Do I need to force you into that fucking dress?"
Carlotta raised her hand. "No need, thank you. I can do it myself."
Marco smiled cheeringly. "That's my new girl!"
