"The Arrabal estate is not only one of the most prosperous estates in this country, Vítor," Gage says, responding to Vítor's doubts, "but also one of the strongest. When the smaller estates start to face shortages of seeds and other provisions, they will come to us and won't hesitate to help find the culprits."

"But this is still madness. No one can claim with certainty that will happen as planned. What if they seek help from other estates?"

"They will," Egil replies calmly, not stopping his writing. "They have relied on the Arrabal estate since my great-grandfather's administration. They have no choice but to yield."

"Furthermore, let's suppose it happens as they suggest, but how can you delegate such a great responsibility as signing a consent to a non-existent wife? Did Mr. Arrabal forget that he doesn't have a legal wife, and therefore no heirs?"

The members of the board start murmuring amongst themselves at Vítor's audacity. Egil sets his pen aside and stares at him, waiting for

    When Adelaide returns to her room, one of the maids tells her that Egil has returned from the office and sends for her. She reluctantly gets up from her chair and walks to her husband's room. Didn't he say he would be in the office all day? Now she is worried that someone else saw her in the basement and told Egil. That would be her end, as Mrs. Irene said."Husband," she nods towards him as the guards allow her in, "did you send for me?"The young woman's heart beats desperately. With her husband's impassive face, she rarely manages to decipher if he is angry or calm."I want you to have a dinner prepared, just like last time, for two people," Egil says, his gaze fixed on her reactions. Adelaide nervously rubs her hand against her dress. "Everything should be ready in two hours."Two hours? Isn't it too early to have dinner with her lover? It's barely mid-afternoon."Is that all, or do you need anything else?""Yes, I want you to come prepared," the young woman looks at him bewildere

    "Everything can change if you ask Egil to reinstate you in your position," Petra tells Lilith. "I'm completely sure he won't refuse. Besides, that will help keep Adelaide away from him all the time. It won't be of any use to her anymore."Lilith thinks for a few minutes about the woman's words. In a way, she is right and her idea might work. She can't stand knowing that young girl is always with Egil when it should be her attending to him.The women talk for a long time, agreeing on many things they will do from now on. Lilith never thought she would have to team up with Petra to get Adelaide out of the way, but she has no other choice. She needs her for now, but when she's gone, she will also get rid of Petra, or so she believes.In the main wing of the hacienda, Adelaide hurriedly walks to the kitchen to ask the servants for help with all the preparations for dinner while looking for Mrs. Irene. She needs to tell her what her husband asked of her and ask for her help. Something in h

    Petra, with her characteristic arrogant demeanor, looks Adelaide up and down with a smile on her face."It's becoming a habit for you to attend to your husband's mistresses. It seems that you're not at all attractive to him, which is why he prefers having others," she says to Adelaide, whispering in her ear."Go away, Petra!" Irene orders firmly. Some of the guards become alert upon hearing her.Petra leaves the place, never losing the triumphant smile on her face. Adelaide's eyes start to sting. She managed to bring her down again."Darling...""She didn't say anything that wasn't true," Adelaide interrupts. "Both Ana and she are very beautiful and will always be more appealing to your nephew than me.""Adelaide, you are a very beautiful young woman, never forget that. I'm completely sure that both Ana and Petra would want some of your beauty.""I can never be like them. I simply wasn't born for this, I don't even know how to put on makeup or look presentable, I don't like those sens

    "This place is beautiful," Adelaide says so softly that Egil can barely hear her. He watches her carefully as she walks through the site, step by step.In a way, Egil sees his mother reflected in Adelaide. She also loved to read novels and wear simple dresses and makeup. His aunt Irene would tell him stories about her when he was a child, about how much she loved plants and how helpful she was to those in need.Adelaide is so absorbed in looking at some of the many books on the shelf that she suddenly feels her husband's hand clearing her neck and placing something cold there. The touch of Egil's fingers makes her emit a low moan that doesn't go unnoticed by him."Egil, I..." She had never called him by his name before, and to Egil's ears, her name sounds special, coming from her mouth."This choker belonged to her," he interrupts, fastening a beautiful and delicate jewel with a ruby pendant, shaped like a drop. "It's the same one she wears in the portrait. Although she had many, this

    Egil orders them to search for Adelaide and bring her immediately, but not even her nanny knows where she is. This is the opportunity Lilith had been waiting for. A while later, she returns with her cousin and informs him that Adelaide was searched for all over the estate and no one knew her whereabouts. "Maybe it's better for me to resume my position, Egil," she suggests, taking advantage of her cousin's anger over what happened. "There is a lot of work to be done in the house and young Valencia doesn't know the methods to maintain order here. The servants don't respect her as they should because she is too fragile with everyone." "We'll talk about that later," he responds, leaving her with the words hanging. Egil leaves his room and goes to his wife's room, where he waits for her sitting on the chair for almost two hours. Adelaide completely loses track of time. When she realizes this, she quickly returns to her room, worried but also happy to have talked about so many things w

    Ms. Irene and Adelaide enter the room and immediately call for Mónica and Mercedes."Dear, she's going to examine you and see if you're ready to receive your husband tonight," Irene says to Adelaide, helping her lie down on her bed and lift her dress. Adelaide doesn't understand what they're going to do to her, but she's already made up her mind and there's no turning back. "I brought you here, to my room, because no one will bother us here."Mónica asks the young girl to open her legs and she does so very shyly. The doctor examines her thoroughly and confirms to Irene that she is completely healthy and ready. Then she applies a few drops of a cold liquid inside her and gives her a pill to take."This tea is an aphrodisiac," says Mercedes, handing Adelaide a steaming cup. Irene urges her to drink it all along with the pill.The young girl doesn't ask what it's for, but she can imagine. It's obvious that it's a stimulant.Hours pass and she starts feeling strange and restless. Her lowe

    Once Adelaide removes Egil's shoes, he extends his hand and leads her to his lap. He nuzzles his nose in her hair while his long fingers trace her bare arm and reach her back. He slowly unzips her dress and slips his hand inside, taking hold of one of her breasts.Adelaide lets out a muffled moan, feeling the touch on her overly sensitive body from the aphrodisiac tea. Egil takes advantage of the moment to lower the neckline of her dress and free both of her breasts. The young woman's hardened nipples eagerly receive his erotic massage.Egil never takes his eyes off her, wanting to capture every reaction she has. He brings his mouth to one of her nipples and begins to suck on it eagerly, nibbling, licking, and sucking. He tortures her playfully, driving his wife to an unbearable state.He switches to the other breast, biting it painfully for a few seconds before gently sucking to alleviate her pain.Adelaide closes her eyes and surrenders to the passion of this man who has her at his

    Adelaide can't stop trembling. This experience is new and quite painful for her, although she is very excited, she can't help but feel fearful.She remembers what Mónica taught her about the gentle hip movements. She closes her eyes and begins to move slowly, as she was instructed, to allow her husband's penis to enter her gradually. She feels so full that even her breathing becomes agonizing.Egil places his hands on either side of her hips and stops her when he feels the barrier break. For a few seconds, they remain still, allowing their bodies to recognize and accept each other, so that it is not so painful for her."Look at me, Adelaide," he asks. "I need to see your eyes as you completely surrender to me."The young woman places both hands on either side of his shoulder and leans in close to him, resting her forehead against his. She really wants to kiss him, but she can't cross that boundary unless he takes that step first.Egil's pupils begin to dilate as he helps his wife move

    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

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.

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.

    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.

    "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.

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.

    "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.
