KaelThe noise outside was deafening, but I understood Kael's gesture indicating that he would explain later. He handed me a large headphone, placing another on himself, providing auditory relief.“May I take off, Mr. Graham?” the pilot asked, his voice coming through clearly in my ears thanks to the headphones.“Yes, we can go.” Kael gave the authorization, and soon we were gaining altitude.I had flown in a helicopter a few times before, but always in the company of my father, who used this mode of transportation for his meetings on the outskirts of the city. This memory brought a touch of melancholy.Apparently, Kael noticed my change in mood, and he gently held my chin, lifting it so that our gazes met, assessing me tenderly.“What's wrong?” He asked. “I thought you'd enjoy getting out of the apartment.”“I did, yes!” I hurriedly spoke. “Helicopter rides are my favorite.”“I know,” Kael confessed with a smile, and I felt myself melting inside.Kael is a handsome man, but he often
KaelI smiled, deducing what thoughts must be running through her mind at that moment, leaving her in that state.“I think that's a wonderful suggestion.” I agreed, pleased that she wanted to be alone with me.Without further delay, we were back in the helicopter, chatting amiably.“I believe it was Ryan who arranged all the details for this trip,” Sarah commented, using an affectionate tone when talking about my assistant.“Despite being quite impertinent, Ryan manages to do his job well too.”Even though I didn't actually believe there could be anything beyond friendship between Ryan and Sarah, the way she referred to my assistant
RachelI accepted the offer, and together we headed to the bar. This time, I was vigilant and wouldn't leave my drink unattended. I wouldn't fall into the trap of being drugged again. The truth about Shirley's insincerity and envy finally became clear to me.As our conversation continued, I kept my ears sharp, seeking information that could lead me to the answers I so desired. With every word she spoke, I mentally constructed a map of the dark plot involving Kael.However, something disturbing disrupted my concentration. I felt a penetrating gaze on me, and when I turned my head, I found myself face-to-face with a man of imposing presence, clearly successful. His gaze was fixed on me intensely as if he were evaluating me.“Rachel, are you alright?” Shir
SarahUpon waking up on Sunday morning, the first thing I noticed was that Kael was no longer by my side in bed. I didn't feel surprised, though. Perhaps a little disappointed and sad, but not surprised.After the wonderful night, we had spent together, maybe I had believed that something had changed between us. But I shouldn't deceive myself with such a misleading fantasy, no matter how much my heart wanted to cling to every detail and make it real.The reality was that the agreed-upon time for my presence by Kael's side had come to an end, and I was finally free to move on with my life. Rachel and I were also even in terms of any debt, ready to adjust to our newly-discovered reality.Now, we had the security of a place of our own, where the constant fear of being evic
SarahKael didn't immediately respond to me, as he jumped into the pool. Only after resurfacing from his jump, wiping the excess water from his face, and smiling charmingly, did he say:“Come on, Sarah!” Kael called again. “No one will see you in the water here.”I smiled eagerly, but I also felt nervous about the prospect of getting into the pool wearing only my underwear and possibly being seen by a stranger. However, Kael's smile made me want to be with him, sharing that relaxed moment. Before I knew it, I was taking off my clothes, with him watching every move closely.“I must be going crazy!” I complained, letting all the nervousness I was feeling show in my voice.“A littl
KaelWhen Sarah mentioned that she needed to take a shower, my initial impulse was to offer my company. However, I realized she was sitting by the pool, seeming to be in shock, her eyes reflecting pure horror. I became truly puzzled about what was happening to her."Sarah?" I called again when she didn't respond and remained unmoved. "Is something wrong?"Our Sunday had been truly wonderful, and I can assert without any doubt that it was one of the best in recent years. Considering I had been solely focused on work and had set aside fun, it was an incredible shift. However, when I was about to say something inappropriate, I managed to restrain myself at the last moment. Instead of expressing my desire to "make love to you," I chose to say "fuck you," which seemed more fitting for our situation, but that seemed to have caused some displeasure to Sarah."We didn't use a condom, Kael," she said, almost in despair.Only then did I realize my lapse and reprimanded myself for making such a
SarahAfter leaving the pool, I returned to Kael's cabin where my belongings were. I took a shower, changed my clothes, and felt uncertain about what to do next. I was annoyed by his nonchalance regarding the issue of protection during sex, especially considering his familiarity with other women.My situation was different, as I had never been with another man besides Kael, and I always took good care of my intimate health, following my mother's teachings since adolescence, just like my sister did.However, there was no use dwelling on this matter. What I needed to do was make a decision about the present moment. I began organizing my things on the yacht, being careful not to leave anything behind in that place that now only brought me bad memories.Afterward, I sat on the bed and waited, still uncertain about what course of action to take. However, Kael made that decision for me, sending a crew member to inform me that the car to take me home was already waiting.It was for the best.
RachelI looked at my phone with annoyance, having no desire whatsoever to respond to the thousands of missed messages and calls from Sarah. I have a goal, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. Sarah surely won't end up on the streets, as she's implying. It's entirely up to her to do her part to stay with Kael and make the most of his money.I had listed our apartment for rent and received a fantastic offer for a six-month lease. I wouldn't waste this perfect opportunity because of my sister's exaggerated complaints. I may despise Kael for everything he's done to mess up my life, but I have to admit he's not a despicable man. Quite the opposite.Now, I have ambitious plans to put into action with the rental income from the apartment. Packed and ready to leave for the airport, I can't afford to waste time on
