Chapter 48

She had not called Emma, but that did not mean that she had stopped thinking about her, on the contrary, she had not taken her out of her mind.
Her friend, she didn't understand what she was trying to warn her, no one seemed to understand, only Sofia. Of course she was angry with Leonardo, the grudge she held against him for not having chosen her years ago, was still burning inside her, unhealed wounds, screams without emerging..., that awakened Leonardo's name in her, but more than jealousy because he had chosen Emma, Sofia knew things about Leonardo, things that went beyond that he was an obsessive man when he wanted to be, jealous to the point of suffocation, and that he could be, horribly dangerous if he wanted to be. If Leonardo set out to ruin someone's life, there was a good chance he would end up doing it. Sofia knew that "problem" that Leonardo had, one that was almost impossible to repair, she had experienced it better than anyone else, she feared that this "problem" would also hurt Emma the way it had hurt her, because she did not believe that he had changed at all.
Sofia shook her head from one corner to the other, telling herself that there was nothing to worry about anyway, because Emma - luckily - had left Leonardo. The plump woman pulled out her house keys, fiddling with them for a few moments before unlocking the place.
