She had agreed that dinner would be in two days that had passed with the speed of a bullet passing through a person's chest to take their life. There was no moment in which Emma did not regret having agreed to go out with Leonardo White, she was afraid, something told her that her life would not be the same since that night.

She looked out the window, a sigh escaped her lips. Darkness covered any vestige of light, there was not a single star illuminating the sky, it was as if they had all died suddenly.

She hadn't told anyone that he had invited her to a dinner party, maybe because she still didn't quite believe it, there was a part of her that chose to believe that it was all a joke that would soon have an end, that soon he would call her and tell her that it had just been a bad joke.

For forty-eight hours, she had thought of only two things: Leonardo and her date with him. She was a somewhat shy girl, when nerves got the better of her, words could hardly come out of her lips, she wa

    For some reason, the nerves invaded her even more, she took the dress out of the box completely, delighting at the beauty and delicacy that each piece of fabric possessed. It was a dark gray dress with sequins covering her chest and thighs, with a translucent touch on the back and chest area as well, you only had to see it to realize that you didn't have to wear a bra when you put it on. It was not too long, in fact, she doubted it would reach her knees.There were more things in the box, Emma told herself, not coming out of her surprise, looking at the dress once more and wondering to herself how much money he would have spent there.Inside the box, there was also a golden chain. Glittering like the sun itself, something that led Emma to wonder how much it had cost or if it was real gold.The sound of a message coming in on her phone caught the surprised woman's attention. ‘Why did he buy this for me? How much did it cost? Why did he make the effort?’ she asked herself, distressed, r

    It was a beautiful place, rarely Emma had seen something so beautiful in her life. There were huge lights hanging from the ceiling, bone colored, perfectly painted, the walls lacked any stain, everyone looked elegant and well groomed, everything looked neat and organized, that place had an antique look, for an instant, Emma felt in the past."Welcome to Hjärtan i trä".An employee gave the cordial invitation to both of them, Emma thanked with a shy smile, but Leonardo did not answer anything, on the contrary, his face became more serious when the employee spoke to him, she noticed that detail, but decided to overlook it, although the doubt was still there. Why had he behaved like that?During the trip in the car, he had been asking Emma a few questions, ones that she had barely answered, her nerves played against her and she felt too weak, she was not like that, she did not understand why when she was with him she behaved that way: tremulous, inept, shy. She had only known him for a m

    She had to admit it even if she didn't want to: Leonardo White was a really interesting man. His voice, when he wanted it, acquired an interesting rhythm, she had hardly spoken about her, in fact, she didn't want to, besides, his anecdotes were much more interesting than what she had to say."And that was how your father became a millionaire?" Emma questioned, completely enraptured, not only by his face, but by him, by what he conveyed to her, she had even forgotten the extreme doubt she had about whether it was true that he had abandoned a son."That's what my grandfather told me, but, between you and me, he's a great liar" Emma laughed, "I'm serious, you can ask him the same question fifteen times, and fifteen times he'll give you a different answer".Emma was about to add something else, but the waiter had arrived with their food.The woman was unable to hide the displeasure that spread throughout her body when she observed the appearance of that salad. She even raised her eyes to

    As sweet as the most exotic and forbidden candies: such were her lips, such were Emma's lips, when his secretary wanted to pull away from the kiss, he acted quickly and grabbed her by the waist, leaning towards her as he rubbed her lips with a sudden desire, he had never tasted such sweet lips in all his life, that was too much to say, if one took into account the many mouths he had kissed.Emma was trembling, like a teenager receiving her first kiss. That wasn't exactly her first kiss, but it was the only one that had ever made her like this, so desperate to finish it, but curious enough not to. But she knew she had to break the contact, so she roughly pushed her boss's body away, watching him with a deep perplexity drawn on her face. What the hell had happened, why from one second to the next did her boss find himself kissing her? Emma swallowed saliva, Leonardo's scent was still imprinted on her, on her lips, on her body, it was as if she could still feel his grip, even though he h

    CHAPTER 13: DAMAGE.They were both sitting on Emma's sofa, who had offered some tea in a cup to Sofia, who seemed desperate to talk, but Emma was so stressed that the last thing she wanted to hear was her friend reproaching her as if she were her mother, but she told herself that she shouldn't be prejudiced, that maybe she wanted to talk about something unrelated to Leonardo.She knew she was wrong when Sofia opened her mouth."Where were you, Emma?" asked the woman, in a reproachful tone that annoyed Emma."I went out," she replied, taking a sip of her tea, perhaps drinking tea that night would leave her sleepless."You were with him" She didn't ask, she had affirmed it, Emma didn't give her any answer, only silence was heard, resounding as always. "Emma, were you with Leonardo?""Did you come just to ask me that, Sofia? It's too late at night, I want to sleep"."That's exactly why I came, you're always supposed to be here at your house, I came, and you weren't here, you're always he

    The reason why Leonardo had broken up with Sofia at that time was because of the age difference between them, which despite not being too extensive, bothered him. At present, she was thirty-three years old and he was twenty-eight, a difference of only five years had caused a very deep wound in the woman, one that remained indelible, although, looking at her face that night, the only thing that could be said was that fate had treated her very badly, she looked at least ten years older than her original age.Leonardo knew that she detested him, in the small eyes of the plump woman, he could perceive the accumulated hatred she felt for him, not that he liked her very much anyway."What am I doing here? You know what I'm doing here!" Sofia approached sharply towards Leonardo, who, with an expression as hard as ice, looked at her."Actually, I don't have the slightest idea what you are doing here," he spat at her, with a brusque and intemperate tone, he crossed his arms, Sofia's gaze fell

    Ten days had passed, and everything was still normal enough for neither Leonardo nor Emma to feel uncomfortable, but from time to time, when their gazes crossed, the memory of the kiss arose at the same time in the minds of both, especially in the mind of Emma, who had been quieter than usual, in fact, she had been very thoughtful, too much, as if she was analyzing something, as if she was making an important decision. To Leonardo's head came the idea that he was likely to think about Sofia's words, that led the man to annoy himself by imagining the image of him that the woman had offered to Emma.Leonardo held a pile of papers, and walked towards them in the direction of Emma, who didn't even seem to notice him approaching, writing a few things, but at the same time, she seemed too out of touch with reality."Are you all right?" asked Leonardo, seeing how the woman was surprised by his sudden presence, confirming even more his theory that she was there, but his head was not, "You see

    Once in his apartment, which was quite luxurious, as she had imagined it, Leonardo offered her to go up to his room to chat, but Emma refused, saying that she would feel more comfortable chatting on the sofa, she did not know if he had proposed her to go up to his room with ulterior motives, but she supposed that a kiss would be born, then one thing would lead to the other, and Emma believed that it was too soon for that, for that reason, They were both on the sofa in that place, he was leaning on her shoulder, he had told her a couple of anecdotes, a couple of kisses had been given between them, kisses that had almost ended in something else, but that Emma had avoided, and at that moment, they were in a sepulchral silence, he seemed to have run out of anything to say, he held her feminine hand and caressed it, looking towards an indeterminate point, Emma decided to take advantage of that opportunity."Leonardo... I was thinking about... that I want to go to work for the company..."H

    CHAPTER 31: LEONIDES.He knew that Emma felt an uncomfortable pressure on his shoulders every time they both went out holding hands, the looks of everyone stuck on them, were like needles that hurt Emma, he had told her to avoid gestures like that -even though everyone knew that she and Leonardo were in a relationship, and who did not know it, suspected it in a huge way-, but he did not like to ever obey what she asked, and he did it intentionally, because it was all about that plan he had devised weeks ago: to make Emma feel so uncomfortable in that company, that she would choose to leave on her own, so that she would be safe from any man who sought to seduce her, because he knew that if he told her directly: "Emma, I don't want you to work here anymore" and then explained his reasons, she would be angry because of his jealousy.Leonardo caressed Emma's hand as they walked, causing a smile to appear on the girl's lips. The blond opened the door where the meeting was taking place, he

    CHAPTER 30: A MEETING.He had never ever experienced a feeling like that, that sweet but suffocating sensation in which a specific person did not leave his head, in which that person danced around the corners of his mind incessantly, in which that person appeared in his dreams. Never in all his life had he experienced a desperate and almost sickly longing to have someone close to him, that that person would not leave his side; he was Leonardo White, the most coveted bachelor of that city, and he could surely say that one of the most coveted bachelors of that country, he could have any woman he wanted, however, a woman as simple as Emma, kept him in insomnia, in constant anguish, Leonardo did not know how jealous he could become, until he found himself in danger of losing her, the most rational part of him told him that that danger was a false one, that he would not lose her, but there was a part of him - a very strong one - that screamed at him that yes, anyone else was capable of loo

    CHAPTER 29: POSSESSION.Emma blinked repeatedly, looking at Leonardo from head to toe, her brow furrowed, she turned away from him, swallowing saliva with an ocher sensation in her mouth."W-what?""That you'll never see that guy again, Emma"."Of course I'll see him again, he's been my friend for like twelve years," she told him, angry, not only for his behavior, but for the behavior he had had when Liam had been there, she had not liked at all that her friend had been treated that way, especially when Liam was such a sweet man, who would have gotten along very well with Leonardo, if he hadn't attacked him, "Why did you treat him like that?""Emma, I arrived with food for both of us, I took time from where I didn't have, just to see you, you have no idea how desperate I was to see you, and I arrive to find you with... a guy giving you a cookie in your mouth? How did you want me to react?""You shouldn't have talked to him like that, he's my friend"."Why do you seem to care more abou

    CHAPTER 28: JEALOUSY.Liam noticed the expression in the stranger's eyes, but Emma seemed not to. The girl wiped some of the pieces of cookie that had fallen on her clothes, and stood up, with a soft smile she walked towards Leonardo, who had remained static in his position, as if he was unable to believe his eyes, he blinked hard, as if by doing that, he would get that guy he didn't know, to leave the place where Emma lived.The girl walked towards Leonardo, opening her arms, giving him a hug that he did not even reciprocate, as he remained static, in his place, looking at Liam, who challenged him with his eyes, he did not even know why, Leonardo did not understand what that guy was doing with Emma, and Liam did not understand who that guy was and why Emma had hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, both men were in a mixture of doubts, Emma did not even realize that the looks of both seemed to battle without any reason."Leonardo, dear, I'm so glad you're here" The smile didn't leav

    CHAPTER 27: LIAM.Three weeks had passed since Leonardo had fired those two secretaries, and if Emma had known the consequences that this would bring, she would have insisted on not having them fired; everyone in the company pointed an accusing eye at her, everyone told her that it was her fault that those two innocent girls had been fired, but no one told her directly, because, according to what Emma had heard, everyone was afraid that she would go to Leonardo to tell him about it. It seemed crazy to her how she went from being a nobody in that company, to being one -not to say the most- of the most hated ones there, cruel looks she met at every corner, if she needed help, and Leonardo was not by her side, nobody offered it, but to her joy, he was always by her side, even, to a point somewhat... suffocating for Emma."I'm quite a romantic man when I fall in love" she remembered his words, a smile tore from her face, she couldn't say she was lying, in a month, she had received the lov

    CHAPTER 26: RUMORS.She had asked him for the discretion he didn't want to keep. "Why is it necessary to keep it a secret?" Leonardo had told her, he wanted to shout it everywhere, he wanted everyone to know that she was his girlfriend, so that no one would dare to try to seduce her, but Emma, still thought it looked too bad to be his boss's girlfriend, for that reason, she had asked him for just a couple of weeks. "Just wait a little, just a few weeks" she had told him, although he had noticed himself in complete disagreement he had agreed not to tell anyone, but that didn't stop his behavior from being the inappropriate one, at least there: kissing, caressing, almost in front of everyone.It was not even necessary to tell anyone that they were more than secretary and boss, because Emma had the idea that assumptions were circulating, everything was too obvious. A week and already what she had wanted to keep secret, was on everyone's lips, people looked at her differently. Whenever Le

    CHAPTER 25: ONE MORE.Leonardo tilted his head carefully, fixing his gaze on an indeterminate point."If she had been one more, I wouldn't have brought her to this place, dad," was the only thing he answered, without looking at his father, a man who was quite well-built despite his age, "Don't you think so?""It makes sense," the man admitted, "But I don't know what tactics you are starting to use now, Leonardo".The blond gave his father a withering look."What do you mean by ‘tactics’? Do you believe all those rumors about me too? Because fuck, everything does believe all that shit, first Emma believing those rumors, the stupid secretaries at your company spreading it around, and now you, my father, believing them?""Leonardo, we both know these are not just rumors"."These are things that happened years ago, Dad, and you know they did, so why is it so hard to believe that I changed? Damn it, have you ever seen me doing the same thing again?""No, but...""Exactly, I stopped being l

    CHAPTER 24: FAMILY.In her head, she replayed over and over again what had happened, too much in such a short time.Leonardo had told her that she didn't have to go back to work anymore, and long before she could even object, he had told her that she had to go to his parents' house to meet them.Emma had been stunned, meeting the White family? She wouldn't even know how to react, it was very likely that her nerves would suffocate her immediately Leonardo's father asked her any questions, but he had insisted, even though she had told him it was too soon to go to his family. "I went to yours," he had told her, winning her the conversation and ending up convincing her. "I'll get you a new raspberry colored dress, mom loves that color," she kept remembering Leonardo's words as she looked at that new dress, there had been too many in too short a time, she felt it wasn't something she could handle, she wasn't used to men gifting her with so many things, ever.
