AUDREYOur lips collide, and his tongue slips deep into my mouth. He lifts me off the floor after we've both undressed, pinning me against the wall for a few seconds before stepping back to walk with me to another room.I moan softly, and he deepens our kiss while his grip on my behind tightens. I have no fear of falling.This is beautiful; he is beautiful."Let's shower together," he whispers, still not parting his lips from mine.It won't be the first time, so I let him lead me. We lost control as soon as we crossed the door to his apartment when we arrived. Both of us were caressing each other on the way, and the flame was already burning. Kissing each other ignited it even further.One of his hands changes position, moving to my back, while the other uses it to turn on the shower faucet. I take advantage, raining kisses all over his neck and collarbone. With my legs wrapped around his waist and my arms around his neck, I continue kissing him, not wanting to be separated from him f
AUDREYGoing back to that house again, I didn’t want to, but I also couldn’t tell Daniel what his mother had said to me that day. I should have done it at that moment, but I doubted he would believe me, and I was afraid of looking like a lying snake instead of his mother.I still don’t understand what her problem is with me. I never gave her any reason for it, and she’s seen me very few times since she rarely visits the company. Even when her husband spent most of the day there, she hardly ever showed up.Daniel finishes driving down the concrete path and parks his Mercedes behind another car located almost at the entrance.As usual, we get out, holding hands, and walk toward the house. This time, we take a different route. There’s a black, half-metal fence with spiral designs on top, giving it a nice touch.But before we reach it, we stop, and unexpectedly, Daniel grabs me by the hips, pulls me close, and plants a quick kiss on my lips.“They’re all watching us,” I try to push him awa
AUDREY"Can someone please explain to me?" I ask, feeling disoriented.That's how I find myself, disoriented and without direction. How do they know each other? Since when? Based on what Mr. Anthony said, it might be years, not just the five I've been working at the company, it's been longer.But why didn't Ronny tell me?"It's a long story," the only one who responds is Daniel's father."But you can start from the beginning," Daniel prompts; he's curious to know more, unlike me.It's not that I don't want to know; it's just strange that he's known the Crawfords for a long time, and we're gathered here more as extended families. What does this mean now?Daniel's father begins to tell the story from the beginning, how they met and all that. From what he's said, it seems these men have a long history as friends. I didn't even know Ronny had studied business administration at one of those expensive universities. Apparently, there were still many things I didn't know about my mother's hus
AUDREY"Where on earth did, they come up with that absurd nonsense? "I ask, astonished.I open my eyes, shocked. I was expecting a different kind of gossip, not something related to infidelity, with me being the cause of it. That's grotesque. People can be so annoying sometimes, and in those times, they hurt or damage a relationship without realizing the harm they're causing just because of stupid rumors."They're talking about it all over the advertising floor. Some of them claim to have seen you with him in the elevator, very affectionate, hugging and kissing."It can't be. What I thought at that moment when it happened. I blame myself for not paying attention to those hints and close encounters with my ex-boyfriend and pushing him away instantly. I should have been firmer with Jon; still, people saw what they wanted and twisted the truth.Now, what am I going to do? If Daniel hears this rumor, he might believe I'm being unfaithful. But if I tell him before, and I tell him the part
AUDREYThe next day, I miss the opportunity to talk to Daniel again. He's been very busy, and we've barely had time to exchange a few messages.When will I be able to tell him about Jon?I continue to worry, especially now that I've heard the rumor that's circulating throughout the building directly with my own ears.By this point, I believe Daniel might be aware of it too. However, I'm still certain that he isn't because he hasn't spent much time in the office or any department of the company due to meetings and appointments with business partners.I hope it stays that way, or else explaining will be much more difficult.I exit the taxi after paying the driver and walk towards the building. The weather is cloudy, but it hasn't rained yet. The day has been melancholic and depressing, even though I love the rain and cooler seasons. It reminds me of the moments I spent in the small town where my parents live.During the winter season, I used to spend every morning in front of the firepl
AUDREYAfter Nelly scolded me and said a few more things about Jon, I went to bed to rest. It's already very late, and I have to wake up early tomorrow.Nelly left after the scolding she gave me, and she didn't want to do it. She doubted that Jon would come back and insist on the same thing. I told her everything that happened, how he showed up here and why I let him into the apartment. Nevertheless, she said everything could be misinterpreted, even though I hadn't done anything wrong.There's no need to make a big deal out of this; nothing happened between us, and I'll never go back there again. Because now I'm with Daniel, and he's who I want to be with from now on.My phone vibrates and plays the melody I set; it's on the nightstand right next to my bed. I turn on the lamp and check the time; it's past 4:00 AM. Who dares to call at this time in the morning? It's not even dawn yet.Reluctantly, I pick up my phone, which won't stop vibrating and ringing. When I bring it closer, I see
AUDREY I was crushed, exhausted, it's not enough. Daniel did what he wanted with me all morning until I fell completely surrendered and fell asleep. I don't know what time that happened, because I was knocked out by all the hard sex we had.He said he would fuck me hard until he made me forget everything, and that's what he did, he even forgot my name.I hear a noise after the mattress next to me moved. I open one eye and I see Daniel's tall silhouette and wide back, standing next to the bed. I want to ask him to come back with me to get dressed and so sleep cuddled until the time we have to get up to go to the company. I'm so tired I can't even keep my eyes open. My vision is somewhat blurry and I slowly fall back asleep.*****"Are you okay?" my friend asks, furrowing her brow and looking at my face.I remove the dark sunglasses I used to shield my eyes from the bright sun. How is it that yesterday the sky was completely cloudy, and today it's clear and shining? It's reminding me t
AUDREYI didn't get any information; there's nothing in Daniel's office that can help me reach him. I'll have to look for his family, maybe go to his parents' house because going to his apartment is out of the question. No one else lives there, and if he's not there, it's useless to find out anything.I spend the afternoon searching for Daniel's parents' address; they have never shared it with the company or employees, so it's not easy to find.A thought lands in my head."Mr. William and Fabian," I murmur to myself.Well, Mr. William is also ruled out. It's best not to approach him if I don't want to receive a rude gesture from him. I don't know why he's like that with me.But Fabian is different, very different from his father. He's polite and kind to all the staff. Now I understand why his fiancée is so in love with him. I've seen her a few times, but that's enough for me to see the love they share.I hope to someday feel that way with Daniel, or maybe others have already seen it,
Six months later. It's been a few months since Daniel and I reconciled. We had sex several times that same night, of course not at my parents' house anymore. I'm taking her back home that same night. He asked me to live with him in his apartment, I told him that it was too early to take that step as well as to get married. I did not reject his marriage proposal, but I asked him for some time to get to know us more, and it's not that I have doubts about him, it's just that I don't want to skip the part of courtship and stop enjoying moments that we can experience while we are engaged. Like this moment right now, he's taking me to his parents' house for dinner. The truth is I've gotten used to it, I've started to tolerate his mother, she's not as nosy as before, because there's no complaint about his father, I've always liked that man. The moment he parks his car in the driveway of the big house, I make sure that there are several cars in the same place. "You didn't inform me that it
AUDREYHe dips his tongue inside my mouth, pushing and looking for mine. He is so passionate, I had wanted so much for him to kiss and touch me again like he is doing now. Every second that passes while he has me like this, stuck to him, my knees get weaker, my breathing gets short, while my body demands for more.We parted, panting, and let our foreheads rest against each other."Daniel, not here, my parents could arrive at any time. "I say with difficulty."I remember that your mother said that it would be late to come back" a mischievous smile lights up on her face.I sigh, longing, while also smiling."Seriously, they may come at some point. "I take control. I turn away from him a little, but longing for him more."I've been daydreaming, wishing to have you, as well as now and then make love to you" my eyebrows rise, but she smiled a little. "I fantasized a million times, leaning over my office desk or on the kitchen table of my house to fuck you hard; I've imagined you on top of
AUDREYMy mom and I are cooking dinner while a Whitney Houston song is playing on my music player. My mother is a fan of her music, I really like it too, because since I was a child I have been used to listening to it because of the woman who gave me life.I accept that I have been trying to focus on everything that my parents have offered me since I came home, but my mind always ends up somewhere else, far away from here, and that has had me very overwhelmed.Mom offered me to go out with her several times, she even called some old friends of mine from school to accompany me in case I didn't feel comfortable going out with my mother to a place that young people frequent, that's how she said. But the truth is, that was not the reason why I refused his invitation, but because I don't have the courage to even stick my head out.What a fun holiday, sarcasm is never lacking.If Nelly were with me right now, she would definitely be in some bar or some place she usually goes to every Friday
DANIEL"What does this mean? "I reply annoyed, but not with him, but with me for not having known earlier.But if she didn't tell me how would I know?I move my hand quickly over the mouse, opening files and going down and up to examine them again and again. I don't know how many times I've checked them already. I know what it means, but what I'm still not fully informed about is how this got into the hands of that asshole.I'm trying to steal Audrey's ideas. These files prove it. They all have her signature, they are designs and advertising ideas, with her watermark, but they are not noticeable, what if it is, is the way she details everything in each idea or information of each project. It is clear that these works are hers, she would recognize them from miles away."Jonathan Sand, he went to plant in my office, showing me his new plan of ideas for the advertising department" he makes in quotes with his fingers. It's clear that Fabian also noticed this guy's deception." I don't know
DANIELIt's been almost a month since she left and even though I've counted every day since that time, I didn't do anything to stop her, I just let her go and that's it. I received his resignation a few days after he left, I found out from Margarita when I returned from my trip, he had gone out to resolve the matter regarding the person who is behind the scandal. We haven't achieved anything yet, but Ben, and other lawyers, say that they will soon get to the root of everything.I hope so. I'm exhausted and without energy, I haven't even been able to sleep well since before our secret came out. Because my problem didn't start there, but when I saw those damn photos where she let that guy into her apartment, and the image of her in my mind when they were kissing in the nightclub where I found her that night."I've known you almost since we were kids, Daniel. You can't fool me. "finally articulates Henry, who had come to see me about the investigation and decided to spend a moment more t
AUDREY"What? "Exclaims Nelly extremely surprised. "Why are you going to do that? have you gone crazy in case?I am looking for the most appropriate words to explain to him, before he insults me and believes things that are not."Don't worry, it's part of the plan to unmask him and his girlfriend that."Plan? what are you talking about?" She cocks her head, looking confused.He definitely won't understand me if I don't give him the details. I sigh before I let everything out to her. She's my friend and I won't hide from her what I'm about to do before I leave."Tomorrow I will go to the company to get some things that I forgot, then I will go down to the advertising floor and look for the director of that department. "Nel looks at me with a raised eyebrow in questioning mode, still not fully understanding, I continue." I will give him what he wants, but without really giving him what he is.Well, the part about me going for something is a lie, but she doesn't have to know that, it doe
AUDREYThe sound of the doorbell ringing at my apartment takes me away from what I was doing to go and open. I don't know who's on the other side, I just open up thinking maybe it's Nelly, forgetting something.I open the door and I get an unpleasant surprise when I see this person standing in front of me. What the hell is he doing here?I'm about to close the door in her face, but she avoids it quickly and pushes her."Get the hell out of my house!" I yell at him."I'm not leaving here until I release what I've got in store," says the oxygenated witch "Jon's finally made up his mind, and he's let me tell you everything at once." We already got what we wanted, there's no reason to keep silent anymore" he shrugs his shoulders with an unimportant gesture.What, Jon what?I leave her, I don't do anything to close the door in her face again, I need to know at once what they want.I never imagined that Jonathan was entangled in some kind of mess with this witch. I knew what they had, but I
AUDREYI head down to the ground floor and make my way to the exit to leave the building. My steps echo against the shiny beige tile. Nelly catches up to me before I reach the double glass doors."Audrey," she follows my pace."Not now, Nelly," I respond without stopping.When I exit, I catch sight of Mr. Anthony's car parked at the entrance. I approach it when I also see him. He's not alone; a man accompanies him. Nonetheless, I close the distance to get to where he is."Sir," I call him, and he turns as soon as I mention him. "May I speak with you?" He glances at the man accompanying him. "It will only take a minute; I won't take up much of your time," I add with a brief smile. He signals with his hand for us to move away from his guest and other people.I know that man; well, I've seen him a few times coming to the company, although I have no direct contact with the partners, I know he's one of them, a very important one, and a friend of Mr. Anthony."What's going on, Audrey?" He a
AUDREYWe are alone now. What do I do, what do I say? Should I start talking and clarify things about Jon? I'm tired of that topic, but there are still many things to sort out.I sigh and gather my courage before speaking, but he beats me to it."Leave," he orders disdainfully. I furrow my eyebrows and shoot him a fierce look. He notices that I don't move and finally locks his eyes on me. "Didn't you hear?"He's behaving rudely and curt. I'm not here to endure any more dismissals and rudeness. I've had enough of the witches. Suddenly, I stand up, not taking my eyes off him."I thought we could reason with you, but I've just realized you're still the same jerk," I say, furious but not losing my composure too much.I turn sharply and start walking towards the door."It's all over, Miss Turner," I stop when I hear him, not turning, just standing there. "There's nothing left to fix, as my father indicated," he emphasizes the words. "There's nothing more to say. Now all that's left is to c
