"I witnessed a rape."Total silence."Eh?" Maximiliano's voice came out after a couple of seconds of hearing that confession.Carla inhaled air and exhaled, with her eyes on him, however, she didn't see him, her mind was no longer there, she was transported to that night in the gym, to that place she did not forget, the same place she visited from time to time, although not so much since the whole thing with her father started."Your friend Peter is a good researcher; I like swimming and I do it well. I learned from a very young age, my mother taught me. I learned in this city, and when I grew up, I began to enroll in gyms that had swimming pools so as not to lose the habit or practice. I stopped attending my usual gym shortly after what happened at the consortium. Remember, I traveled to the mountains to visit my aunt taking advantage of those days off at the company because I had time without seeing her, but as soon as I returned to The City, a few days later, more or less, the trut
He nodded slowly, just a shake of his head, trying to absorb the magnitude of what she was telling him."Did you report it?"She nodded."I did it, I went for help. I ran into the first police car I saw and told them everything. I explained to them why I was on those fronts, I told them everything. We went to the gym, and when we arrived, there was no one there, neither a girl nor a man. Everything was closed, the place was dark, and that asshole acted fast. However, they checked, and the window was still open. We managed to get in and... of course, my things were gone too. The report was made official. One of the uniforms gave me a jacket and took me close to home. I don't... I don't know, I thought about every detail so much. This is the first time I tell anyone; I was so stunned. I was asking myself questions like "What did I witness?" Also, it should be noted that the police didn't do anything else, I felt that they didn't pay too much attention to the matter."Silence reigned unt
The raucous music inside the Glint club was due, not only to the volume that the DJ used with the latest generation of mixing equipment and sounds but also to the incredible racket unleashed by Claudia's curves on stage, shaking her hips for the spectacular, sensual and fun acrobatics, appealing to anyone's eyes as the expert dancer that she was.The night of Three Kings Day was always apotheosis in that disco, especially in that venue. Magna, crazy celebration where souls and bodies used to be unleashed inside Glint's vicinity.Daniel watched everything from his kingdom, as he usually called it when that special post-Christmas day was celebrated. He always congratulated himself on the signing of the blonde, who every year seemed to get better and better at her performances: the woman was good at what she did.Hoops, fabrics, tubes, alone, together with colleagues, with a chair or a table, with or without a light show, Claudia could do everything, create everything, give her all up th
Brandon Hial was being guarded in his own home. In part, he felt calm, because he understood that beyond being a witness of a robbery and much more, it was normal that the new owner of the company worked for and his people didn't trust his version, the minimum was to be taken to a police station and that had not been the case, until now.With his nerves on edge for also messing up in front of Carla, his ex, coupled with what could happen to him with everything that had happened, he was sure that if they put a lie detector machine on him and he told the truth, he would come out guilty.He lived in a modest London neighborhood, in a simple apartment located in the center of the city, close to the newspaper where he worked some years ago. Maximiliano arrived, together with one of the guards, at the door of the apartment. He greeted the two agents already guarding the place. One of them opened the doors and let in a casually dressed Max, with an overcoat over his thick coat, thick jeans,
Both men stabbed each other with their gazes. Brandon smiled, getting it right in his head.“I'm glad Carla has found love in someone successful and with money," the journalist said, "but I'm very sorry with someone who keeps her dominated."Maximiliano sighed and almost rolled his eyes at that absurd comment, if Brandon knew how much he would be fascinated by Carla's world domination..."The robbery. Speak." For the CEO, it was time for them to talk about it."Fitzgerald always wanted the presidency of the D&A corporation, I imagine he was upset that Fred wouldn't let him have any and that he would also give percentages of the stock to a daughter that even the lawyer didn't know.""He did know her and you know it," Max said."Of course he did, but I'm talking in the real sense of knowing and interacting. It's no secret to anyone that father and daughter never saw each other's faces, that's what I'm talking about. Fitzgerald would have been satisfied with that percentage, hers, with t
Daniel gave Claudia some coordinates and the details of some people she should contact. The blonde had already paid for the reservation of a nice hotel in the big and cold city of London, with money in her pocket to spend on whatever she wanted.Her beauty didn't go unnoticed; she attracted a lot of attention; for that reason, Daniel told her to try to keep out of the eyes, although it was possible that when she came in contact with Maximiliano, there would be many eyes that would see her.The hotel was very close to the businessman's new residence, so she got out of the cab before reaching her destination to contemplate the building from a distance, as well as the area and all its attractions.She walked happily through the streets of London, despite the cold. Claudia didn't mind the snow; she felt amazed by everything she saw, and it was not because of the snow, she already knew the winter, but because of the magnificence of the place. In short, she would bring forward her vacation
Claudia didn't plan to answer him; she wanted to make him understand that her annoyance, thanks to the treatment he was giving her, was still there. Logically, the guard could wonder why she was being so stubborn when, after so many years of dating Max, she must have known that the people surrounding the CEO were impenetrable; so much pretending and misbehaving was not good either; he would continue to suspect her. She had to be very convincing with the security agent, play her seduction or friendship cards, whichever it was, to get him to leave her alone. Daniel was right about one thing: he seemed to be the worst of them all, and now she understood that the word "worst" spoke of the most professional."I came for a Pole Dance event," Claudia said. "It's an academy here that receives international students." He showed no sign of believing her. "I'm serious, I have proof. I signed up just yesterday because it was hard to get a place, but my vacation started after Three Kings Day; my t
"Are you done with your coffee?"She nodded and got up, motioning for her to leave the tables first.Claudia said nothing, but it seemed strange that he would let her go. She groggily got up, walked out then totally changed her version when he started to follow her. The blonde turned to him with a suitcase in hand."What are you doing?""I'm following you to the hotel.""Now you've gone crazy, I won't let you do it."Claudia, even if you make it difficult, I'll still know which hotel you're staying at, so walk." He gestured with his hands forward.She looked at him, right in his face. Benjamin was tall, quite tall, his face was that of a sensual, mature baby. He wore a beard several days old that looked a little light but wasn't. His hair was cut flush to his head and he had a small scar very near his left ear where no hair had been born, but the mark itself was so small, she didn't explain how he managed to see it. His jaw was angular, and his eyes were penetrating and somewhat clear
