The time

The time

that plane took off and i just burst into tears it was as if my soul was leaving my body i remembered the first time i saw her the time she smiled at me the dance the lunch outings the first kiss the first time we were together the last time i touched her our dreams together i never thought about jhos and what happened with him it was as if my whole life was her i didn't know where they were taking me i knew her number by heart the only number i knew was hers it was impossible for me to forget her i thought about jhos and what happened with him it was like my whole life was her i didn't know where they were taking me i knew her number by heart the only number i knew was hers it was impossible for me to forget her not in a million years it was impossible to feel that way about anyone else again

They took me to a boarding school where two nuns were waiting for me, I never had any classmates again, they gave me classes apart from me alone, I never saw a computer or a telephone again, only my parents called me, nobody else and they only allowed me to go out during the boys' recesses, of course without talking to them.

After two months I felt that I would go crazy and I just went to one of the libraries during recess to cry.

And suddenly I heard this voice

Hi why are you crying what happened to you

I turned around and it was a boy because of his uniform I guessed he was a student there and I said nervously to him

Hey get away from me I don't want to be penalized.

And why are you being punished if I'm from the school you're running away from your class?

Because this is the boys' recess.

No and I can't tell you

A ya I know

You're one of those boys who dresses like a girl.

I frowned and turned to look at him and seeing him laugh made me immediately burst out laughing and then I put my finger over my lips and said

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I can't talk to anyone yet

And how long have you been like this

Six months

So serious was what you did

Yes very serious at least for all of them

Then I guess you're here for the same reason I've been in the same situation for 8 months but I'm almost cured and I'll get out.

He went to sit next to me and I looked at him with a frown and I said

For the same reason as me?

Are you isolated?

Yes, I can only go out at this time but I'm not allowed to talk to boys or girls.

Do you like boys?

I thought so?

Are you really cured?

Yes, that's what I have to tell everyone.

You do the same but not yet later I will teach you.

I smiled and he said

So I know your secret, do you like girls?

Noo

Of course I don't

I like only one girl, only her, no one else

A ok then you're worse than me because I like all of them so I can choose.

Hahahahahaha we laughed for minutes I forgot my sadness my desperation I extended my hand and I said

Nice to meet you samantha broxon

A pleasure to meet you Lord Dominique Vonpitt of Switzerland, only son of the Count of Switzerland.

Waoooooooooooooo

I can see why they locked you in here I don't even have another female sister.

I give you a piece of advice if you are hostile you won't get out of here go slowly and suddenly stop asking for them on calls with your father start talking about me and I will talk about you.

And so it went for months Dominique went out but he would come to visit me constantly I never spoke or asked about Gentil again not even to Dominique himself in case there were cameras and after a year I finished high school I went out to the Swiss palace they had a cabin for me furnished Dominique's parents were excited I learned to play golf and polo my parents came to visit every six months and so another year went by. I tried to contact Gentile many times but there was no way and only my sister could ask it was too dangerous I thought and they recorded the calls. The second Christmas of my life in Switzerland I would receive the new year on Dominique's personal family yacht in the sea and while he was holding my hair back because of the strong breeze in the middle of the ocean I felt the glare of a camera.

Dominique's father says

It's time to make this courtship official

I immediately trying to grab the camera I said

No no no

But Dominique grabbed me and pulled me against him and said

What are you doing this is just a play by my dad to see our reaction.

It won't come out then

He smiled at me rubbed my face and said

Smile for the camera as he gave me a subtle kiss on the cheek.

I was already 19 years old but my parents were still undecided whether to let me finish college in Switzerland and go back home to finish my degree or not, so I decided to study fi

international studies

And then do a degree in finance

I drank a lot of champagne that night when it was almost dawn and the yacht touched land again I decided to go to rest in the cabin inside the huge palace I went to bed I woke up at 12 noon and as usual I opened the door to pick up the newspaper that the butler left in the personal mail of the cabin I took it and while I drank a strong coffee sitting on the couch I saw on the front page my picture and Dominique's picture of him kissing me and me smiling the headline said

The identity of the girlfriend of Lord Dominique Vonpitt, heir to Duke Fransua Vonpitt of Switzerland, the multimillionaire daughter of Raulf Broxon and Diane Valkart, with whom he appears very affectionate and she is very smiling

which would nullify the ill-intentioned comments made years ago that questioned the Duke's sexual preferences and the truth is that they make a dream couple.

I almost fainted I rushed out with the newspaper in search of Dominique and found him in the garden sitting in front of the pool and threw the newspaper on him saying annoyed

What is the meaning of this Dominique?

You promised that we would never be in the press and surely this news has already reached all parts of the world?

Do you know what that means to me?

He stood up and told me

Calm down, there's nothing we can do about it and surely your beloved has already seen the news, it's even been on TV.

There is nothing to do

Of course you can do something call the press right now and we will deny this we made a deal and she must be believing that I lied to her to forget her.

I'm sorry Samantha but if I do that I can be disinherited and expelled.

I put my hands on my head and I said

You know what?

I'm going to talk to your father.

You're not gonna do that, we're both gonna get in trouble. I've been your friend, I helped you get out of there.

I helped you too.

Samantha for God's sake there are thousands of women out there, look for another one, nothing guarantees she's waiting for you.

I yelled in annoyance

I want her Dominique

Haven't you understood yet?

There's a reason I said you were worse off than me

At least as soon as we get engaged I will have my inheritance free and I will be able to choose the man I want, but you are tied to something that is already impossible, nobody is going to sit and wait for years and even less when he hasn't even received a letter from you.

Tears came to my eyes and I told her

Fix this Dominique or I will talk I will tell the truth I will even talk about the men who stayed with you on our trip to the beaches of Marbella.

Fix it today

And I walked out of there very upset

I went into the cabin my head felt like it was going to explode with rage I turned on the TV and the news was on I started to prepare myself a protein drink when I heard on the TV

And Switzerland seems to be celebrating wedding bells soon yes gentlemen we are talking about Dominique Vonpitt the male heir of Duke Frasua Vonpitt was captured with the one who is already confirmed to be his girlfriend and she is nothing less and nothing more than the young promising model and multimillionaire Samanta Broxon.

I dropped the glass of protein and ran to the TV set to see pictures of me with Dominique and her family that were never supposed to come out to the public, I was overcome with a feeling of despair and frustration and I could only sit down on the floor and cry.

At that moment Dominique came in and when she saw me she knelt down next to me and hugged me tightly.

Don't cry Samy I swear I never planned this and I'm really sorry and I apologize for what I said earlier I have never been in love the way you are but I have an idea that can at least help clear things up not for everyone but for her.

That's what you care about, isn't it?
