Gage enters the room at that moment and realizes the argument between them.

"Yes, you're that father who wished for her death and the death of her mother hundreds of times," Irene replies between sobs, "the one who disowned her and didn't care that she was hungry and cold on that precarious farm her whole short life while you slept in the best beds, the same father who never allowed the doctor to treat her when she was sick and wouldn't let me bring a glass of milk to Adelaide when she gave birth."

"Enough!" Now it's Egil who yells angrily at her words that hurt more than he would ever admit. "I won't allow you to insult me like that just because you're angry! I demand respect!"

Gage approaches her and takes her by the arm, urging her to leave. The tension between them is evident, and if he doesn't separate them, this argument could end badly. Egil is so upset that his chest rises and falls as his gaze turns dark.

"Of course I'm angry," Irene cries out of helplessness as she moves awa

Egil can't sleep, although he tries in every possible way to do so after hearing the click of the door. Adelaide couldn't have left the house, he's sure of that, but knowing that she didn't want to stay close to him hurts him.

    Egil steps into the cold water of the shower and stays there for a long time to calm down.

She is angry and she has reasons to be. He must take it slowly with her. After his bath, he lies down and it is impossible for him to fall asleep. He had the slight hope that she would come and they could finally fix things, he hates being away from her for any longer. He wakes up early and while waiting for Gage to agree with him on some matters, he approaches the balcony and sees her walking quickly towards the estate, wearing that simple dress she had on when he caught her in his room, her hair loose and a coat too thin for the cold at this hour. What is she going to do there? Does she lack something in the house? Does she need more space, more amenities, more food? "Sir, would you like me to bring you your coffee o

    Adelaide's groin begins to tingle deliciously, just with those words, something she hadn't felt in a long time. Her skin begins to prickle at the delicate touch of Egil's fingers on her nipple. Like magic, a droplet of milk appears at the tip and Egil wastes no time bringing his mouth there and suckling. The young woman closes her eyes tightly, unable to bear the overwhelming sensations that are coursing through her body. Egil suckles eagerly, switching from one breast to the other, as if he can't decide which one he likes more. His eyes are closed just like Adelaide's, and he enjoys this delicacy that flows from his wife's body as if it were the elixir of eternal youth. It's something that shouldn't excite him, but it does, to feel his wife's milk spilling into his mouth and savoring its taste excites him greatly. Suddenly, Egil positions two of his fingers at her entrance and begins to slowly tease it while pressing her clit with his thumb. A deep moan escapes the young woman's t

    In the garden of the Arrabal estate, Adelaide and Irene take a stroll in the company of Eleonor after a delightful snack. The conversation among the women is pleasant until the young woman spots her sister walking in the distance towards one of the farms."Your sister has been secluded in that estate for a few days now, dear," says Mrs. Irene when she realizes where Adelaide's gaze is directed."Why? I thought I heard that Egil had her at his service, or at least that's what some of the servants said.""I won't lie to you, Adelaide. Your sister is seriously ill. Egil has isolated her in that estate for fear of her infecting the other servants. Not even Nora has been able to find relief for her. Her condition is serious, as I was told. She was on the verge of death more than once.""I need to speak to her." The anguish on Adelaide's face is evident."I don't think it's a good idea, dear. That woman hates you. Besides, I'm not sure Egil will take it well. They're barely reconciling, isn

    Two weeks later, in Rome... "What does this mean, Benedict?! Is this why you wanted to come to Italy? Because of her? To look for her?" Pamela throws the folder on the table as she cries bitterly. She can no longer bear this situation, she is tired of fighting with the ghost of Adelaide and Gaspar. Benedict takes a napkin and wipes the coffee stains on his jacket caused by the folder hitting his cup, without the mood to respond to his wife's complaint. "I can't bear it anymore, you will never forget her. This obsession of yours with her has gone too far, I want to go home." Pamela walks over to the couch where she sits to alleviate the pain in her back. When she found the folder this morning among her husband's things, she couldn't believe what it said. "You can leave whenever you want," he says dryly but in a low tone. "No one forced you to come with me, or to get involved in things that are none of your business." "Does she matter to you more than me and your daughter?" Pamel

Damn it! He knew nothing would be normal with her on their honeymoon, but this exceeds all his expectations. Emma is so beautiful she looks like a seductive angel.Immediately and without any preamble, he falls to his knees at her feet, placing his hands on her thighs and fixing his gaze on the smooth and kissable skin of that part of her body."I'm very excited, my husband," she says, running her fingers through Adriano's hair.

    "Isn't it the same thing you plan to do? Aren't you going to claim what you bought?" Pamela asks Benedict in a bitter tone while pointing at herself."Of course I will claim it," he responds dryly. "The difference is that I will be your husband. With me, you will have everything you never dreamed of having. I won't take you by force, but that doesn't guarantee that when you decide to be with me, I won't be hard with you, because that's how I like to fuck.

    "Do you want to try?" Benedict's sudden question makes Pamela blush, imagining he's referring to her very visible attributes now in front of him."He's crazy! Who does he take me for?" She responds immediately, quite offended. "I don't even know him.""I don't see what the problem is; it's just whiskey," Benedict replies, pointing to the glass but at the same time smiling in a way that disturbs Pamela. "What did you think?""Nothing," she responds, realizing she misspoke."Alright, are you leaving or not?" he asks as he searches for something in his drawers. "It's late, and I need to sleep.""So, you don't mind me going alone at this time of night?" she questions as if that's a problem for him."No," Benedict responds as he puts on his boxers. Pamela looks at him indignantly. "But if you want to stay, I can...""Fine," she interrupts him.
