It felt like something was squeezing my head and making my veins throb painfully. I let out an anguished groan and tried to open my eyes, but the brightness made the pain increase. I closed them once more and breathed slowly, trying to concentrate on something other than the throbbing discomfort.

What had I done yesterday? A few shots of tequila with Jenny and Arianna.

Laughter, loud music and then the dance floor. Then the images seemed like blurs in my mind, a kind of hallucinatory dream.

I tried to open my eyes and this time I managed it, ignoring the pain. I spotted my Top Gun poster and sighed with relief. My room. Nothing so serious should have happened. I'd just abused alcohol and Arianna had brought me home.

I rolled over in bed, realizing that I was lying on my stomach and that I was still wearing the dress I'd worn to the party. There was a sheet wrapped around my waist and my heels were on the floor next to me.

Regretting having gotten carried away with the Tequila, I pulle

    When we left my house, I realized to my relief that there weren't many people in the street yet. Damien indicated the driver's seat to Tom and he opened the door for me himself. I got in and he followed soon after.- Where to, Mr. Mason?- Give Tom the coordinates, Darling. - Damien smiled nonchalantly.- To the school two blocks down the road, Tom, please. - I asked.- As you wish, miss. - Tom replied. He could never call me by my name.The car pulled away and I raised my wrist to look at the clock. It was almost nine. That would give me time to get to school.- Do you remember our appointment today? - Damien said and I stared at him. He was also looking at his watch.- The gallery. - I remembered. - What time are we leaving?- The exhibition starts at seven and we'll be on Broadway at nine. - He gave me his attention. - You can go with me to my house and you can stay there if you like. When I arrive, we'll leave quickly.I opened my mouth to challenge him, but then I realized that f

    I spent longer than I had planned with David. We entertained ourselves with the game and received a surprise visit from Tk. He was smiling as usual, but he had a tired expression on his face from the from all the nights at the bar. The three of us spent hours talking about all sorts of things. David was so happy that the whole episode of sadness in the morning became a vague memory in my mind.I also received messages from Jenny and a promise of a call from Arianna later in the afternoon. Takashi left shortly after four o'clock. He was still going to work. But first he confided in me that he was having problems in his relationship, leaving me dumbfounded when he said he was having doubts about marriage. He insisted that I take money, but I managed to convince him that I was managed to convince him that he was managing to make ends meet, as David was gradually improving. When he finally David decided to be generous and gave me the chance to polish my honor in a new game of chess.When

    - About the dream he had about me. - He brushed the tip of his nose against my neck and then planted a kiss on the line of my jaw, making me gasp.- He hadn't forgotten the damn dream! What's worse, he was showing me that he wouldn't give up on hearing the confession come out of my own mouth.- I... I didn't dream anything. - I insisted and tried to keep my hands on the Jaguar's bodywork.- I've already told you that you're not good at lying, Darling. - Damien ran his hand down my waist and touched my exposed leg on the side of my dress. - I can find out for myself if you like.- Damien... We've got to go.- How did I touch her? - Damien kissed my lips quickly. - Like this? - He ran his hand down my leg and put a little pressure on my knee with his fingers.I couldn't help but moan, but it was muffled because his mouth was glued to mine and I couldn't hold back any longer. My hands went to his hair and I pressed my mouth against his. Damien took a firm hold of my waist and suddenly I

    BONUS DAMIENAs soon as we got back to the covered area, which was already covered in golf necessities, I spotted Ellen sitting at the bar. She looked a little bored and I regretted leaving her alone, I knew how tiring these events could be. But maybe I could make things better.- Do you want to come with me or do you prefer the company of the other ladies? - I touched her waist and whispered in her ear.Ellen turned around instantly.- In that case, I'd prefer your company. - She glanced at the group of women chatting at a table on the other side.They smiled, but I could tell it wasn't a real greeting.-All right. - I nodded.But suddenly nothing was fine anymore. Because I looked up and saw Crystle standing behind Ellen with her arms crossed in front of her chest. I squeezed my eyes shut in search of patience.We need to talk. - She replied cheekily and put her hand on my shoulder.You shouldn't even be here. - I growled, trying not to attract too much attention, and pulled away fr

    BONUS DAMIENShe told me and I finally understood that she was embarrassed by her little fit of anger. But she shouldn't be ashamed, she should be pleased. Proud. She just defended herself. And at that moment I realized that I admired her ability to be fearless and defend whatever she believed in.- Mason! - Ulysses shouted again.- Go about your business. - She spoke and then walked away towards the roof.I watched her go for a while. Then I sighed and started walking towards Ulysses."Admiring is dangerous, Damien. Let's stay focused."***The afternoon was tiring. Golf and random conversations about the economy and the stock market. Some trying to make an impression, looking for loyal partnerships and others just observing. This was definitely a game I could control. I preferred to side with those who were more observant. Knowing where you stand is fundamental in the business world, and I had learned that the hard way. But that afternoon I divided my concentration between the game

    BONUS DAMIEN I woke up to the sound of running water. I frowned and blinked to make my corneas adapt to the light. The sound of the water filled my ears again and I realized that I must have left a tap in the bathroom wasting water when I used it earlier. I quickly got out of bed cursing my inattention and walked towards the bathroom without bothering to put my shirt on. I pushed open the door and entered the bathroom, but tripped over my own steps when I realized that the noise wasn't coming from the toilet, but from the shower. But how could there be someone in there? I approached the shower stall while trying to remember how much whisky I had drunk by the time I got home that night, but my thoughts were shattered when I saw the woman through the glass. Her skin was tanned and she ran her hands through her hair, washing it gently. Her curves were perfect and I ran my eyes down her back, appreciating every inch of exposed skin. It was then that she turned around, catching me red-h

    BONUS DAMIEN- Don't touch her. - I vented all my irritation without bothering to knead the stranger's fingers. Then I pushed him away from Ellen.He grumbled and tried to move towards me, but he was so drunk that he fell over his friends and gave up. I turned my attention to Ellen just as she became unbalanced in a dance move, but before she fell I managed to pull her towards me while keeping her firmly close to me.- Let go of me! - She stammered and tried to get rid of me.- I'm not letting go, Darling.Ellen tensed in my arms and raised her face.- Damien?I noticed Nicholas talking to Ellen's two friends a few meters away. There was another guy with them and Nick was holding Arianna, who seemed to want to get to us. I looked away from the group and focused on Ellen.- Why didn't you answer the damn phone, Ellen? - Concern succumbed to irritation. She was too exposed there. I could see the other men analyzing her like vultures. - Damn, I was worried and I hate that feeling, espe

    BONUS DAMIEN It was my muscles that woke me up to the sun's rays streaming through the window. For a moment I wondered where I was, but then last night filled my mind and my muscle memory made a point of emphasizing reality. I groaned as I felt the spasm in the back of my neck denouncing my bad posture during the night. A whole night on the sofa in a woman's house. Perhaps Nicholas was right. I'd been collecting too many absurdities since I met Ellen. My phone clamored for my attention and I lifted my hand to reach it on the arm of the armchair. A reminder glowed on the screen. The meeting where I was to decide what to do or not do for the Álvares' company. Oh, shit. I'd completely forgotten about the appointment and didn't feel like going anywhere other than my soft bed. I lifted my torso off the sofa and ran my left hand through my hair. My shirt was folded over the arm of the armchair. I ignored it and I got up and looked for the bathroom first. It was next to the room where I ha

    BONUS DAMIENI stopped before entering the balcony, just enjoying it. She looked even more beautiful against the classic Italian backdrop. Her hair took on bronze tones in the sunset and the exposed skin that slipped through her robe glowed, capturing my attention. To think that the woman sitting on the parapet with her eyes focused on the Italian landscape was my wife filled me with pride and relief. I tightened my fingers around the glass, silently thanking her for having me. I wouldn't risk losing her ever again. I would take care of her. My eyes went down to her abdomen with our little miracle that still had no sign. I would take care of them both.She wouldn't suffer any more, I would make sure that everything for her went full and happy. That's what she deserved after so much suffering. I made her my life from the moment we walked up the aisle on the island of Solstice and I would love her until the very end.Ellen raised the coffee cup next to her to her lips and her well-drawn

    To my surprise, Nicholas and Arianna managed to get along and ended up giving a speech together. Damien and I danced together once again in the Golden Room, to the same music we danced to the first time. When I heard Michael Bolton's final chord, I managed to snatch him into the garden before we were surrounded once again by guests. He looked as surprised as I had imagined when he saw himself in the hotel's empty garden. - Where's my present? - You'll have to look for it. - I nibbled my lower lip and took a step back.Damien frowned in confusion. - All over the garden? - In the immediate vicinity. - I nodded positively. He smiled and ran his hands through the hair on the back of my neck. Then he looked around and I smiled when I realized he was lost as to which direction to go first. - Look, Mr. Mason! - I urged him. Damien looked at me and smiled in my direction and then started walking towards a flowering bush. - It's not there. - I warned him. He stopped immediately. Then

    " - I promise to protect and respect you, loving you and our family above myself and my desires. I'll be there every time you need me, because you're the woman I've always hoped for and the only one I've ever really loved, Ellen. As long as my heart beats, it will beat for you and to you."His words still rang in my ears, like a sweet dream. I closed my eyes to remember the recent emotions I had experienced in front of the altar, when he promised me that we would be each other's forever. I opened my eyes and looked at my reflection in the mirror. The happiness was so great that I couldn't keep the tears at bay. We decided on an informal ceremony on the beach before sunset. sunset. Solstice Island was the chosen location. There, six months after an intense night, Damien and I exchanged the vows that would last the rest of our lives. rest of our lives. It was almost impossible to believe that after the troubled way we met, things would end in such a beautiful way.However, things weren'

    - No, no, no... - He pulled me close and wrapped his suit around my waist. I wanted to help him, but I was feeling weak and dizzy.- My love, don't... - Damien sobbed and his lips touched my forehead. - It's all my fault...I reached out slowly and took his arm. He hadn't forgotten me. He had come back to me, as he had promised. And although I was in a lot of pain, my heart warmed inside with happiness.- You came back... But when you called me... I thought...- Ellen, forgive me... - her fingers brushed my right cheek.- It was supposed to be a surprise... I wanted to make you happy...He seemed to despair even more and his sobs became louder.I held his face between my hands.- It's all right... Damien, I... - I felt a twinge and let out a groan, but I didn't give up. I had been foolish to hide my feelings from him and now there was no turning back. It was the deadline. - I love you. I love you with everything I am.Damien let out an agonized moan and more thick tears rolled down hi

    I spent Monday trying to distract myself. I bought ice cream and rented romantic comedies to watch, even alone. Jenny and Arianna tried to persuade me to go to a club in Urca, but I refused on the grounds of feeling unwell. Which, in a way, wasn't a lie. They accepted my excuses, but assured me that they would come and visit me later.At lunchtime, I put a supermarket lasagna in the oven and mixed it with some rice. At times I couldn't help shedding a few tears and convinced myself that I was only doing it out of emotion for a few scenes in the movies. At least that's what I'd tell Julia and David when they arrived in the evening. I curled up on the sofa and stared at my cell phone. I'd called Arianna just before four o'clock, but she hadn't picked up or returned my call. She must still be at the club with Jenny. So I kept my cell phone in my hand, staring at his name.I should have told Damien. Told him how I felt. He was right when he said he was the only one fighting for what we ha

    I watched the black liquid drip down and gradually fill the cup with dishes of the same color. I continued to pour it slowly and without any pretense of paying attention to the task at hand. That's how I'd been acting since that morning after the Solstice.The cup finally reached the goal I had hoped for. I sighed and brought it to my lips, trying to convince myself to face the hours that awaited me outside. I concentrated only on the taste of the strong coffee for a few moments, but soon the scene was back in my mind. His blue eyes had a melancholy glow and were as hazy as the cloudy morning sky when we arrived at theinternational airport. He tried to convince me to accept the keys to his house one more time, but I stood firm in my decision.Finally giving up, he gently took my hand and brought it to his lips, placing a kiss full of devotion under my skin. I choked back a sob and Damien moved closer, placing his cupped hand on my left cheek.- Are you sure you don't want to come wit

    He seemed to hesitate and then let out a long sigh.- I need to go back. - He revealed what I already knew, but added something more.Things in New York have changed a lot and I'll have no choice but to leave. My trip is scheduled for tomorrow. - Then I finally understood what was happening. The whole thing was our farewell. It was to end our relationship. I felt my heart speed up and then tighten in my chest. This was the momentthat I had always dreaded, even though I knew it was bound to happen. Damien and I were from different worlds and at some point the gap between us would become apparent.- It's all right. - I stroked the hair on the back of his neck and held his gaze, but when I felt my eyes getting teary, I put my face on his shoulder. - I'll understand.I had nothing to complain about. When we got together, our time together became something precious to me. So it wasn't fair to spoil the moments he had prepared for us with tears.- Ellen. - Damien called me, but I couldn't

    Damien rested his free hand on my waist and we walked to the garage as if we were once again going to one of the usual parties. He chose the Ferrari this time and before long we were crossing Rio de Janeiro.Damien kept silent about our destination and really surprised me when he maneuvered the car and parked it in front of the international airport.- You'll be well looked after, Mr. Mason. - A man in a suit with an airport badge met us. - The platform is ready for you.- Platform? - I looked at Damien without understanding.He just smiled and led me into the airport. Another employee greeted us with a smile and I was stunned when we stepped onto the take-off platform.- Your private jet is ready, sir. I wish you a safe journey.He waved goodbye.- Jet? Damien, we're going...- We're going somewhere special. And since I know how much you like that airplane movie, I got a bit of inspiration since I know how to fly and I think I look better than Tom Cruise. - I let out a laugh.- Wait

    David had a huge smile on his face when he entered the house and the first thing he did was announce that it was time to catch up on his series. Jenny and Arianna were also with us. Aunt Meiry had gone to the hospital, but couldn't follow us home, promising to come and see us later.- Things seem to be getting back to normal. - Arianna glared at me as I finished sorting out the chocolate cake I had made for David.- Yeah. It looks like they are. - I agreed.- What is it, Ell? - Jenny stopped pouring herself a soft drink next to me and stared at me. - You don't seem very excited.- I am. - I smiled at her. - I'm very happy that David is finally home.- But... - Jenny insisted. - You can't fool us, my friend. Go ahead.She gestured to Arianna who went to the door leading to the living room and then came back.- David is explaining something about that series he likes to Julia and Renata. We can talk about it.- I'm fine. - I assured them. They both looked at me incredulously. - Damien i
