A few people were walking around the distance. A man pulled me. He is strong; that's why he forced me to go with him. He made me lean against the familiar Audi. I pushed back the strands of my hair, which made me unable to see this man's face. My heart suddenly beat faster when I saw the face of the man who was my customer at the nightclub. He was the one who spent pages of dollars just to be with me, but nothing happened to us because if my personal reasons. Gladly, he never forced me to have sex with him. He was gentle, calm, and hot; that's why I cut off our relationship earlier before I totally fall for him. I don't want my attraction to him to take root. “Valentina, it's good, and I've seen you. Don't you know that I go back and forth to the nightclub but I can't see you there.” He looked away for a moment. “Sabrina said that you have left and are not coming back. He doesn't know where you live. It's really hard for you to be caught.”“Eli Madrigal, I told you that we should c
“Eli Madrigal?”It was too late when I was able to hide the card that Eli gave me from auntie, and she caught me wearing a wide smile. “Auntie…”“Is he the man you told about who spent a large amount of money to be with you? He purchased you, doubling your price.”“Yes, auntie. It was him. I hate it because he always follows me. I thought that he wouldn't look for me anymore, but he told me that he looked for me everywhere.”“Hate it? Really?”“Y-Yes, auntie. Who is happy if there is someone like him? Even if you told him not to follow you anymore and look for you, he doesn't give up; he is still constantly sniffing anywhere just to see me.”She held my cheek, slowly guiding my face, making me look at her. “It's not hate that I see in your eyes, sweetie. What I see is Eli Madrigal’s effect on you. Ever since you were hanging out at the nightclub, you've always told me about him, even though you've only met a few times.”“Auntie, I feel hate when he follows me.”“Alright. Lie as you
Auntie and I were on the balcony, drinking coffee, talking about my phone conversation with Eldifonso a few nights ago. I told her everything—how happy I was to talk to my child—and I told the child that I was his mother. Then Foval called me mommy and said he loved me. Hope is alive in my heart because of our conversation with my son. I have full confidence in myself that I can convince Foval to come with me and leave his devil father. “Are you sure of your decision, sweetie? Are you really ready to reveal your face to your husband?”“I have no doubt in my heart, auntie. I am sure about this, and I know that he will be surprised.”“Isn't it too early for you to take off your mask, sweetie?”“I can't wait any longer to get my son, auntie. So I have to do it. I will fight for my rights for my child. What Eldifonso did to me was wrong. He will face my wrath.”“It's up to you to decide what to do, my dear. As long as you watch over every step you take, be careful,” auntie said sadly and
These previous days, it was like I was always floating in the air, like a bird flying freely and a hen hearing every "twit" of her little chicks. I talked to Foval, and as he wanted, I did talk to his teacher and was told that I could not attend family day because of my busy schedule.“Mommy, it's really good that you talked to my teacher. My classmates tease me that my mommy is imaginary! They even say that daddy is weird.”“Why is your daddy weird?”“Anyone would think he's weird. He always wears a mask, even when he's at home.”I sat up straight from leaning on the backrest of the leather chair. “You haven't seen your daddy's face yet?”“No one does, mommy. That's why I called you today to ask if you've seen daddy's face. Why is he wearing a mask? He should take it off so my classmates don't tease me that my father is weird! I'm kinda sick of them calling me having weird parents!”Why is that? Why can't even his son see Eldifonso's face? His secret is deep, and I will make him unf
“Sweetie?! What happened?!”I ran upstairs, neglecting to face my aunt, who was after me. I sped up my steps even more when I noticed that she was getting closer to me. I immediately entered my room and locked the door. The weight of my feelings cannot be compared even to the world. My tears are not planning to stop from coming out of my eyes; my flesh was shaking, and my heart was beating faster than ever. I'm angry! That's all I know now. I'm disappointed in myself because what I wanted didn't happen. I want him to stare at me, dropping his jaw, wishing his instant death because of the shock of seeing me. I pulled out my hair when I remembered his reaction earlier; he wasn't surprised at all, yet happiness to see me without a mask on was visible in his eyes. “Die, Eldifonso Suarez! Die!” I shouted over and over inside my room. Auntie was knocking, and her concern for me was heard in her fast and loud knocking. She was certainly curious about what happened at the venue where I rev
The lights are flashing before my eyes, capturing every detail inside the bar. Eli Madrigal was holding his bottle of beer, staring at the dance floor, where there were some women who occasionally stared at him and laughed, showing motives to him. I rolled my eyes, thinking bad about those filthy and bitchy women. I thought of going to them and slapping them one by one to wake them up from their fantasies. Eli cleared his throat and looked at me. “What's with the long face and one raised brow, Valentina? I thought we were here to have fun because your life is such a mess?”“Yes, Eli. But I still want a commotion because of what you're doing,” I said. I laugh at myself; I'm jealous even though Eli is not my boyfriend. He's not doing anything either, but I feel like he's flirting with the women here at the bar. “What am I doing besides just standing here and accompanying you while you're quiet there and all of a sudden your mood changes?”“Oh, really? Is that all you did?” I asked h
We walked along the beach, holding each other's hands as if we didn't want this moment to end. Sometimes I lean my head on his shoulder as I feel him kiss the top of my head. “I can be a father to your child, Valerie. I promise that I can be the best father to him and the best husband to you. We can create our family away from people who are causing you stress.”“A while ago you were lifting your own chair, Eli Madrigal. You really can't wait to be told the good things others see in you. You always want everything to be fast.”“Don't tell me; you will tell me again that I am somehow similar to Eldifonso Suarez because of the way I behave. I am different from him and what he's doing. I am Eli Madrigal, the lover boy!”I giggled, listening to his words. Our footprints were following us, a lovers mark on the first date they had where they talked about the future and plans they wanted to share with each other. My heart is rejoicing out of every step that we take together, forgetting the
I was standing beside the pillar on the veranda of my room, holding the phone on my head, talking with my son, and looking at the moon that was trying to free herself from the clouds covering her light.“Mommy, when are you coming home to the mansion? I want to be with you, and daddy said he wants you back too. You should stay here with us so that we will be complete and a happy family.”I sighed. My son doesn't know what's going on around him; he wants me to go back to the mansion where I got so traumatized. Honestly, I can't imagine myself ever stepping foot in that place. That mansion was like a haunted house; I was haunted by my own dark past there. “Baby, let it go, and tomorrow I will talk to your daddy, I will tell him that we need to have an agreement about you.”“Mommy, I want you here with us.”Not even now, but I know that the time will come when my son understands the situation. My son is smart, and I have full confidence that he will understand why his father and I are s
He guided his length, positioned it in the middle of my thighs. Slowly, he pulled it up until his hard below head knocked on the entrance of my vagina.He was big, but I know I can handle his size due to missing him so bad. My vagina was producing its natural lube, making me confident that it wouldn't really hurt. “Amore, I’m taking it in now.”“Oh, Eli! Come on. Take it in.”He followed, satisfying my deepest fantasy. My eyes were like the stars in heaven, twinkling like I had seen the moon. Both of my hands were pushing through the wall. His big hands were now holding my waist as his thighs were moving slowly, catching the best beat of our making love under the shower. Both of our eyes were feeling really horny, we called upon the names of our ancestors as we were both panting, figuring out where parts of our body were really itched. “Amore, I miss you like the heavens were separated from the land, wanting to feel its caress.”“So was I, Eli.”When we are fed up with that positi
My parents gave me a tight hug when I told them I was about to enter the airport. “Make sure to call us every time.”“Yes, Daddy. I will make sure of that. ”I looked at mommy. I saw how tears flowed from her eyes. I can't stop myself from feeling homesick even when my parents are in front of me. I was holding mommy's hands, but it was as if I was back when I was a kid that I had to leave daddy and her for my studies abroad. “Mommy, take care of yourself. Take care of Daddy too. I love you two so much. ”“We love you too, Val. There’s no container that would be enough for the love we have for you. Send my regards to my grandson, as well as to Eli. ”“Sure, mommy.”Once again my parents locked me in the middle of their arms, hugging me tightly so I took a deep breath. Someday I will never leave my parents and say farewells to them because I have to go to a place far from them. Soon, when everything is settled, Eli and I will return to Texas, and here we will raise Foval, near his gr
I have not been able to enter our mansion for several years since Eldifonso Suarez bought me to be his wife. Now, I am here, sitting on top of my bed and remembering the good moments I have here inside this room. Back when I was a child, my eyes were opened, and I saw life as beautiful. And now I have to let go of the painful past I had, and I will continue creating good and beautiful memories with my family. There was a knock outside the door so I stood up and took a deep breath. I also removed my tears and I cleared my throat. “Val, it's me. Your mom.”“Mommy, come in.”Mommy came in smiling. She looked at me, and we sat on the bed together. My heart was smiling looking at mommy. I understand why they married me to El. They thought El was the real Suarez and not just a fake. “Val, I'm here to tell you about Eldifonso.”“It's been a long time since we lost him. I have moved on, and Foval as well no longer worries about the pain of losing his daddy.”“That's good. I'm happy to hear
A year passed, and we were living the best of our lives here. I didn't think about my past anymore, and it was totally making my heart light when I freed myself from the grudges and bad past that I had with my husband, who happened to be dead a year ago.I was alone on the balcony; Foval was already asleep, and Eli was still taking a bath. The night was quiet, and I suddenly remembered that today was mommy and daddy's wedding anniversary day. I smiled despite the sadness I felt. Almost half an hour passed before Eli followed me to the balcony. He hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek, so I could smell his fresh scent. He is like a newly blooming garden. “Why is my Amore sad? Is she bringing a serious problem?”I leaned my body against him. We swayed a few times before I turned around and faced him. I hugged Eli and leaned my right cheek on his chest. “Why, Amore?”“A year has passed since we lived here. I realized a lot, Eli. And that's one of the reasons I can't move forward if
It was late at night; I couldn't sleep, so I decided to go to the beach. I hugged my arms and looked into the distance. I see Eldifonso's face in the dark sky while I hear his soft voice out of relief in the sound of the waves. A small hand grabbed me, so I looked down. “Foval? Why?”“Mommy, Uncle Eli told me not to be sad because even though daddy is gone, he is still looking at me from heaven. So don't be too sad, mommy.”I sighed, nodding at him even though I'm not sure if my son's father really went to heaven after he died. I bent down and gently caressed his cheek. He smiled. He withdrew his little hand from holding me. He fixed my hair that had been messed up by the wind that had been messing it up for a while. “Son, I'm sorry because mommy took you away from your daddy. I thought he was a harm to our relationship. I got angry with your daddy then, so I did this. But I realized that he was right when he said that I should think about you and I should think about what is the be
“Uncle Eli, let's go there!”My son was comfortable with Eli. They are now happily playing in the sand, making sandcastles. The castle built by Eli is taller, but Foval insists that his castle is more beautiful. “Why, master? Are you going to claim that your castle is more beautiful than mine?”“Yeah. Because it's obvious.”“Oh, really?!”“Yes, uncle.”“Alright, master. Yours is beautiful.”Foval ran towards Eli's castle and suddenly kicked him. My son was laughing while Eli was acting desperate as his castle was totally destroyed.“You destroyed my kingdom. Now I will avenge my people and my castle!”Eli raised his hands, trying to catch Foval. Foval runs away, but Eli catches him. My smile was wide as I watched them from meters away, wishing that Foval's attachment to Eli would deepen. My son no longer asks where his daddy is or when they will see each other. But rather he wants to stay here for a long time. He didn't want to go back to Texas either, so I was happy. It seems that hi
I heard the sound of an opening door, so I immediately wiped my fingers on my eyes to remove the tears that fell from them. “Amore?” Eli called me softly. I looked at him, and I saw him wearing an apron. There are still flowers on his cheeks and arms. I feel sorry for him. He was proving himself to me and my son, but my son still could not accept him. Eldifonso was not like this to me before. Everything that Eldifonso showed me only gave me pain in my heart, unlike Eli, who, with everything he showed me, enveloped me in love and security. I went up and sat down. He bent down to kiss me so my lips caught his lips dropping to mine’s way. I closed my eyes, kissing him back with tears in my eyes. He gently tapped my back, and slowly I could feel him pulling me up. I came along with the motion he was leading while our kisses were still tying us. His thumbs were caressing under my eyes, removing all my tears. “Stop crying. It hurts me when I see you cry.”“I don't know how I can not cry
I went out; the sound of how I slammed the door followed me. My glances only caught Foval's back entering his room. I took one more step when Eli grabbed my wrist. He was by the door waiting for my son and I to finish talking. “Eli?”“Amore, let the child have his time alone to think.”“But he's not respecting you. Even though I'm his mother, he can yell at me as if I'm just at his age. Foval should not continue to act like that. Parents' habits are inherited. And sad to say, he surely got that attitude from Eldifonso!” I said. Every morning and every moment I spend with Eli gets better, yet the color of my relationship with my son becomes bitter and fading. I did my best to make him feel that I am enough for him, but he couldn't see that. He was always looking for his goddamn father. He made me feel that he wanted to be with Eldifonso more than me, his mother. “Don't stress yourself about your child, Amore. Let's not force Foval to absorb what he is witnessing inside the house bec
My system is gradually accepting the past that I experienced with Eldifonso. I am now in the process of healing the wounds of the past while fully fixing myself and loving Eli continuously, who is my partner in all my steps to forget the pain I had before him. I woke up smiling, definitely; he hugged me all night, made me feel his love for me that my complicated past and the wind that hovers around me can't steal. I turned to him and saw that he was sleeping peacefully. I brought my face closer to him and touched his cheek with a smile. I folded my four fingers, and only my point finger was unfolded. I stuck my pointer finger to the tip of his nose. His eyes were truly beautiful; his lips were very attractive, seducing me to touch them through my finger. I can't handle not giggling when his lips moved. He pulled me close to him until there was no space left between us. He hugged me tightly as if he was assuring me that his love for me would never fade away. “Is it morning already?”
