"You can reach an agreement with him. Make it clear what his responsibilities will be on the estate if he is willing to stay," says Gage. "If you want, I can go talk to him.""No. My brother is a proud man, Gage. He will never accept to stay unless I apologize to him myself and admit that I was wrong."In the early morning hours, Egil goes to Adelaide's room. She was already expecting him, but upon hearing him enter, she pretends to be asleep to not show him too much importance.Egil takes off his shoes and lies down next to her in bed. The young woman turns around right away and embraces him. That is all both of them need in that moment.For the rest of the night, they don't talk about anything, except to say that they love each other.The next day, in the main room, before going to the office, Egil informs his wife that his sister will be transferred to the Valencia mansion in the next few days, and that he will go see Benedict when he has time.Adelaide is so happy with the news th
"Adelaide thinks that there is no other person in the world she trusts as much to take care of our daughter," Egil adds. Benedict swallows hard upon hearing her words. "And I believe it too, brother. I know I acted like a fool when I found out she was coming to see you, but jealousy clouded my judgment in those moments. She is the only woman I would be willing to give everything for, even my life. Losing her back then burned my soul, I couldn't breathe.""I'll think about it, Egil," Benedict replies, calmer now. "I need to readjust to the outside world again. It's been many years in this darkness.""That seems fair to me."That night, Benedict is released, but he doesn't return to the main house as expected. He asks Egil to go to one of the estates in the meantime. Egil grants his request.His belongings, which Egil had locked away in one of the storage units, are brought by the guards so Benedict can have them immediately.The news of the chief's brother's release spreads rapidly thr
Two weeks later, at the Arrabal estate..."How are you feeling, my dear?" Mrs. Irene asks, taking Adelaide's hand.The young woman stands in front of the mirror, admiring the hairstyle the stylists did for tonight. Her long hair is gathered in a beautiful braid that cascades down her adorned back with precious stones. Her makeup is simple, yet exquisite.She hasn't put on her dress yet because she's waiting for Mercedes to help her. Today is her debut as Mrs. Arrabal in front of the entire clan, and her breathing hasn't normalized since she woke up. Her hands are cold and sweaty, and she has a painful knot in her throat that won't let her feel completely well.The last time she was in front of so many people was when she came to marry Egil. She still remembers that day as one of the most painful and humiliating of her life. She fears stumbling in those high heels or freezing on the carpet, earning the mockery of everyone once again."I'm quite nervous," Adelaide answers, her eyes glas
Adelaide and Benedict's faces are so close to each other that their breaths collide. The young woman is speechless at Benedict's request, she opens her mouth to say something, but nothing comes out of her throat.She closes her eyes just before their lips meet.While Benedict gently moves his mouth over hers, he caresses her cheek with his thumb. It is a tender and sweet kiss, a kiss of sincere love.Neither of them stops to think about what is happening around them or the consequences, in case someone discovers them, they just let themselves be carried away by the moment while sharing the same breath and the same desire to continue.Benedict is dizzy and intoxicated with the taste of her mouth, while Adelaide's mind is confused and dazed.Unable to prevent it, the interaction between them becomes intense, their aspirations become more urgent, and the previously gentle kiss turns into an electric, intense, and explosive kiss. Their tongues desperately battle. The desire between their
Nadia moves the dagger while a loud laughter comes out of her throat. At that moment a sharp buzzing sound is heard throughout the place and a second later a bullet hits the woman's forehead, with such force and speed that it knocks her to the floor, dead.Benedict lowers the weapon with heavy breathing. Adelaide screams incessantly as she sees her sister's lifeless body next to her.Her husband takes her in his arms to keep her safe while the guards do their job of taking away the deceased's body.Egil looks at his brother and nods, Benedict does the same before leaving.That night, they discover two more infiltrators from Calixto Valencia inside the hacienda who had also disguised themselves as waiters. They were watching Nadia's back.Adelaide is attended to by the doctor and her neck wound is superficial. The grand party is canceled.Once again calm, she asks Egil to proceed with the wedding anyway, but with no one else present except the two of them, the priest, and her aunt Iren
Ana Lupot is leaning on one of the tables with her wrinkled dress up to her waist, exposing her beautiful backside as Egil thrusts into her from behind in a wild manner. The moans from both of them send shivers down Adelaide's spine.It's not that she is surprised by her husband's actions. Egil has always shown himself to be a very lustful man, and she has seen him do his things with other women right in front of her, but she is very disappointed that he is doing this when it is supposed to be their wedding night.How could she feel a hint of guilt for kissing Benedict when he doesn't care about fucking another woman right in front of her?She leaves the place in complete silence. She makes sure to lock everything again and puts on a dark coat before taking the hallway that connects the palace to the garden.She doesn't think her husband will look for her tonight anyway. He will be satisfied enough with that woman.Her steps are almost imperceptible on the dark path that leads to the
Adelaide feels like she's in paradise when Benedict positions himself between her thighs and his tongue, smooth and wet, starts moving between her folds, stimulating her most sensitive part. If he keeps going for a moment longer, she's going to come very soon.The young woman's moans become more intense and fill the small farm where the lovers are. Benedict isn't willing to let go of her until he's satisfied himself, and he does just that. Adelaide explodes in a deep ecstasy that leaves her trembling uncontrollably. He watches her until the end without slowing down his efforts. He loves what he sees in her, the way she shakes in his arms and lets herself be carried away by pleasure, her gestures, her mouth, her moans, her skin glistening with sweat, her taste flooding his mouth.Unable to bear it any longer and before she fully returns to reality, he makes a few movements, takes her by the waist, and brings her to his lap to position her on top of his erection.A deep and long growl e
When Adelaide finishes getting dressed and fixing her hair, the door opens abruptly and Egil enters."My love," he says, walking towards her. Adelaide stands up from her chair to greet him. The bitter taste of seeing him with that woman last night hasn't completely disappeared from her throat. She pretends to smile, although for a different reason than Egil believes. "How did you wake up? Are you feeling better? I came to look for you last night, but you were already asleep and I didn't want to disturb you.""I'm sorry, I should've assumed you would come. After all, it was our wedding night. I got ready for you with the utmost care, but unfortunately, I had a relaxing tea and fell asleep."Mentioning the wedding night furrows Egil's brow, imagining that maybe she saw something or someone told her that he was with Ana last night, but he smiles to not show his worry."After what happened with your sister, I thought you would need rest, so I preferred not to disturb you," Egil takes her
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
Emma looks at her husband with fiery eyes as he carefully salivates that object. Then she positions herself with her back to him, bending down enough to offer him a unique, delicious, and incredibly sexy view of her behind.Her husband's breath triples as his mouth comes into contact with her body. He inhales deeply, shamelessly, savoring the distinct aroma of woman that drives him crazy. Without any further preamble and on the verge of collapse, he assaults her intimate part.Adriano's tongue is having a party tonight. It eagerly explores every nook and cranny, savoring it like the nectar of the gods."Love, like this," Emma moans desperately. "Please, keep going."Adriano continues his work, now more diligently, moving a bit higher and applying more pressure to the right spot to sufficiently lubricate that orifice from which he will later delight himself.Slowly, he directs the plug to where it should be, doing it gently and with just the right coercion so that in a couple of moveme
"My love," Emma calls Adriano's attention, barely peeking through the bathroom door as she walks slowly towards where he is."For all the angels!" Adriano whispers as he takes in every detail of her from head to toe. "Emma, my love...""Do you like it?" she asks, advancing in her high heels that resonate throughout the room, until she's just a step away from him.Adriano swallows hard a couple of times and still can't manage to untie his throat. 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. He closes his eyes for a second and lets out a heavy sigh. "What are you going to do about it?""I will give you all
After leaving the airport, Adriano takes everyone to a pizzeria for dinner, where he announces that he and Emma are getting married tomorrow at noon.That night, everyone stays up late planning what they are going to do. Bea takes care of the desserts and food, Emma hires a wedding planner to organize everything needed, while she chooses a dress and clothes for Eleonor and Gaspar. Santos sends invitations to some of the partners and businessmen and calls the judge. Adriano arranges the honeymoon trip. He had wanted to go to Greece for a long time and this is the perfect time to do it. Luckily, he manages to find a hotel and a private flight that will take them there.The movement in the Palumbo mansion begins early in the morning. Nobody is still, and by midday, everything is ready.Adriano adjusts the boutonniere on his jacket lapel in front of the mirror. The smile hasn't left his face since yesterday. He feels that so much happiness can't fit in his chest."È pronto, padre? Il giud
In Rome, five years later..."Is this for real?" Adriano sets his champagne glass aside and approaches Emma, who is leaning on the terrace railing, but looking at him."Of course. I've never been more sure about this," she responds with her usual smile that melts Adriano’s heart with love. He approaches her and takes her face in both hands before planting a soft kiss on her lips. He has patiently waited for this day for all these years. Many times he wanted to give up, to distance himself, to try to forget her, but realizing that he couldn't live without her, he would try again. Today is Adriano's birthday, and Emma organized a lunch for him at a highly renowned hotel in Rome, just the two of them, as Beatriz and Santos are traveling in Morocco, visiting their mother, and will return tonight. In all these years, they have shared unforgettable moments together. Everyone thinks they're a couple, but the truth is they haven't been able to take that step until today when she finally sa
"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. You will be Mrs. Arrabal, the mother of my heirs, my wife."An overwhelming silence envelops them at that moment. Pamela doesn't even know how to respond to that.He extends his hand to her and Pamela takes a few seconds to take it. Benedict puts her on his lap, just like he had hundreds of times with Adelaide. In a way, Pamela reminds him of her, her innocence, her spontaneity, her simplicity.Benedict inhales the scent of her hair before kissing her forehead again. This is something Pamela has never experienced before, she doesn't
Pamela is busy cooking inside the precarious hut she lives in with her aunt since her mother died 20 years ago.Since she arrived yesterday morning, her aunt has not stopped reproaching and calling her every possible name for escaping that night when she wanted to sell her to that disgusting man for a little money.Of course, she is used to her aunt's abuse after so many years living with her, but what she did that night crossed all the limits and she doesn't plan on letting it happen again.She still wears the bandage on her knee, and although the pain is almost nonexistent now, she fears her wounds will get infected.While stewing the meat for lunch, she takes a glass and pours a little water, but when she turns around, a dark and large figure sitting in the only armchair in the small living room startles her, causing the glass to fall from her hands to the floor."Hello, little one," Benedict's hoarse and firm voice shakes her from head to toe.How did he find her? Did he have her
A thick smoke hangs in the horizon, darkening the sky and casting shadows over the Turnnie mansion. It was a devastating surprise attack, they had planned for months to come here so that everything would go perfectly. Chaos reigns as flames devour the house and crops, and the screams of the servants fill the air.In the center of the chaos, Benedict calmly looks at the destruction. This day was supposed to mark the justice he had waited for so long. Adelaide's brother, Calixto, and his father, Bahram Valencia, were finally supposed to receive the punishment they deserved for the attack on the Arrabal clan, which had claimed the lives of many people, including his brother Egil, and for all the times they had plotted to kill her. However, both of them are missing."I'm sorry, sir, but we can't find them anywhere," one of his men informs him. "Everything indicates that they are not in the mansion.""Did you search inside the basements?"Benedict knows that Bahram has been living here wit
"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. "I'll stay right here on the couch, still, I won't bother at all."Pamela settles there with every intention of staying to sleep.Benedict, tired of
