"I don't believe in destiny, but I think that somehow we belong together. You are by far my most beautiful half."

- Gean Carlos.

The airport was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, reflecting Kath's state of mind. The sound of her ragged breathing mixed with the constant hum of machinery and distant voices, creating a melancholy symphony that accompanied her all the way to the boarding gate.

Darren, beside her, held her hand tightly, trying to convey some comfort in the face of the difficult decision that had just been made. His eyes reflected a mixture of sadness and determination, knowing that the future ahead was full of uncertainties.

As they boarded the plane, Kath felt the magnitude of the farewell intensify. She sank into her seat, the sobs now more contained, but still present.

    "It's not hard to forget, it's convincing your heart that there's no going back."-Tati Bernardi.Harry put on something, coming into the room wearing clothes that didn't even match, and his old prescription glasses, long since retired.His appearance, his very low voice and the very few words he exchanged with those present showed that all the personal progress he had made alongside Kath was at risk. He managed not to stutter, but he wouldn't look anyone in the eye, except his family, and he didn't feel comfortable for a second outside the room, even though he knew he was among friends."Hi, Harry," greeted one of his friends, offering a cautious hug. "How are you?""We didn't want you to face this alone. Kath was an amazing person, and we all miss her terribly."Harry replied with a silent nod, the pain still fresh on his face. The friends entered, bringing with them an air of normality that seemed lost in that space. Trying to dispe

    "It's just that you, damn it, you manage to bring all my parts together and make me all yours. You manage to pull me out of the darkness and into your light. You make me feel like the happiest person in the world just by being by your side. We are a whole, you and I, two incomplete halves that fit together perfectly. You make the little become absurdly much and fill me in every possible way. You, only you, make my life so sunny, and without you, I feel completely cloudy."Fernanda Rebecchi.The sun was setting over the horizon, tinging the sky with warm tones, but Kath's heart was shrouded in darkness.She thought of all the memories shared with Harry, the moments of joy and the challenges overcome together, and the thought of leaving him behind was a stab in her chest.

    Timothy Westwing was hiding in a hotel after his pursuit of Kath when he heard on one of the most important TV news programs in the United States that the girl had been using the surname Beauvoir for the last few years and had built up a huge empire before dying that night, along with her brother, who had adopted the false name of Darren Krigsman, in a very serious car accident.He felt outraged that he had been fooled for so long and angrily threw a bottle of whisky at the cabinet where the device was, because she had outsmarted him and managed to stay out of the media, even though she was a huge, wealthy businesswoman. How? How had she managed to fool him so boldly? Her name was always in the media, but he had been naïve and managed to be fooled and led astray so easily, it wasn't right, it wasn't possible.The news of her death was even convincing, because she was reported to be going home from the police station in a police car, after having filed a

    "You make me believe in better mornings and more beautiful nights."-Clarissa Corrêa"Is it really him?" Mike asked Johanna after receiving the information. He didn't want to get his hopes up and then get frustrated, as had happened in other cases, where the death of a criminal, from whom they were protecting someone, had been a false alarm, that was too dangerous."According to what I've been told, his face isn't completely disfigured, so you can recognize him from the archive photos. He also seems to have fingerprints on some of his fingers, which match those in the system. But anyway, the Homicide guys said we could go and see for ourselves, if you want." She shrugged, while her partner quickly got up and put on a jacket, which had previously been hanging on the back of the chair."Of course I want to see for myself, man! I was in charge of Kath's protection here in Philadelphia as soon as I started in the Program, when I was practically still a

    The games of domination and submission, of pain and pleasure, in the secret room, became a constant in the couple's life after that day. Not because Kath needed control, in business, in the home, in life or in sex, but because they liked it, because it was really, really intense and pleasurable to fulfill fantasies and test limits.It wasn't because they had become parents that things were over, but because they were still young, and having children, a family, only showed that being submissive and a slave was a thing of the bedroom, and apart from that, they were a normal couple.Not because either of them needed to be someone they weren't when they were out of there, wearing masks and disguises, but because they could simply play with some of the many facets of their personalities, which were intimate and private, which belonged only to the two of them.Not out of fear or necessity, but by choice. Because they discovered together that, between four walls, anyth

    "To taste your lips was a dream come true. To taste you was the best thing I've ever felt in my life." A shiver ran through his body from head to toe, and his hands took a firm hold of my shoulders, squeezing them. It felt like an electric current was running through both of us, from one body to the other without stopping.He blindfolded Kath, offering her pâtés, creams, cheeses, jellies, liqueurs, and massaged her entire body with aromatic, warm, edible oil, which he tasted himself, kissing, licking, biting, sucking, until the last drop was mixed with his own saliva."I'm going to put you to bed." She looked at the huge bed and then at me."What do you want to do to me?" she asked rudely."I intend to make you come. May I, Mrs. Winston?" She gave me a small smile with the corner of her lip."If I tell you to stop, you will!""Of course. " I replied.I took her on my lap and she wrapped her legs around my waist.

    Minutes later, she was playing at chasing him, while he pretended to attack her like a cornered animal, which was perfect for them to be in the positions of dominator and dominated, even if he left her in control most of the time.Slowly, he turned to face her, wanting to get a better look at the clothes she was wearing, if they could be called that. Kath was wearing pieces made of glossy black leather, which shone brighter than the black dye on my Bugatti, and a beautiful bodice covered her full breasts, compressing them, and tightened her waist, making her look even slimmer. A thong was all that covered her intimacy. On her arms, black latex gloves went up to just above her elbows. Leather boots went up to the middle of her thick thighs. The heel was so high that it seemed to cause pain to her ankles. She looked stunning, even dressed like a sadist.The deep red lipstick on her thick lips reinforced this image. Her long blonde hair was straight and flowed dow

    "Date, but date someone who is as horny as you are. Never allow the flame of passion to cool, renew your relationship day after day. One of the advantages of having a relationship in which the flame of passion is still burning is that you can send - love fuck me - at any time of the day, night or dawn, and the person will do anything to get there as soon as possible."PedricovickEven though Kath had shown her weaknesses to him over the years, Harry had never stopped seeing her as determined and brave. Perhaps he even considered her stronger today, when the woman he had once seen as a female in heat, surrounding the male and putting him at her mercy, had turned into a lioness surrounding her cub, making sure that nothing could get to her or miss her.For the time being, however, both Kyra and Chase would still need a lot of care and direction for some years to come.

He spoke, pulling away to look at her face, caressing every bit of it, as if to make sure it was real.
