He Can't Forget Me 15. Game
Isabella is less than six steps away from James' mother, who is still raging and spouting barbarities about Maxmilian to the others present, when she feels someone tugging on her arm."Have you gone mad?", Maxwell practically growls in her ear, failing miserably to keep his facial features neutral.The man's mother lets go, also enraged."What do you think you're doing?""Funny, I could ask you the same damn question."I'm taking action about this outrage, of course! If that woman keeps talking, we could be in trouble.""Forget that old woman, we have worse things to deal with," Maxwell says, his eyes startled.Isabella immediately becomes worried."What happened?" she asks, looking away before adding, "Are Elena and Hector giving us trouble?""No. Maxmilian just entered the restricted area of the hall.""What?""He just went through the curtains, Mama."Exasperated, the woman takes a step toward the scene, but stops and talks back to Maxwell:"The coffin is closed, we don't have to w
He Can't Forget Me 16. Decision Making
Nervous, all James could do in the waiting room of the small private office was bite his nails, look around, and count the time Mariana was in there. The clock read half an hour.Just as the man was giving up and heading for the door to demand to know what the situation was, it opened. The doctor, with straight hair and olive-colored skin, said to him:"Please come in."He didn't have to ask twice. Mariana was lying on the stretcher, her eyes watering. James went to her immediately and held her hand."Is everything okay, how's the baby?""The baby is fine," the doctor replied. "The abnormal bleeding was just a hormonal imbalance due to stress. Mariana needs plenty of rest and to avoid situations that wear her down.""I was so afraid of losing my baby," she murmured."Well, you can rest assured, Miss Elena. Everything is under control now. Just remember to take your vitamins daily, drink plenty of water, and don't put yourself in emotionally risky situations."James looks at her."We'l
He Can't Forget Me 17. Mere pawns
A week had passed since the doctor's appointment, the same one where Mariana decided she would not remain unmoved by the facts. Now she and James found themselves at a crossroads, trying to balance the protection of their secret and the search for answers. Nervous, James was aware that his "mistress" was planning something risky. He felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, but he also understood Mariana's need for information about Maxmilian.That afternoon, Mariana sat in front of her laptop, discreetly researching private detectives in the area. She knew she needed to find someone reliable, discreet, and capable of uncovering the truth without arousing suspicion.After hours of meticulous research, Mariana found a name that looked promising: Daniel Reynolds, a renowned private detective known for his ability to solve complex cases."So, what do you think?" asks Mariana, showing James the investigator's profile."Have you checked his credentials?""Yes. They're great. He'

"James," Mariana whispers, staring at the car's inside rearview mirror. "What is it?" "I think there's a car following us." The man looks at the automobile, which, in fact, seemed to be right behind them. "It's all right. I think it's just a coincidence." As if to test his own theory, James sped up a little more, taking an adjacent road that would not take them to their new house. The black car pulled into the same street. Nervous, Mariana's "butler" tried once again to enter a path that was not part of the original route. To confirm his fear, the car continued steadily in pursuit. The girl's breathing began to fail. "Calm down, it's okay," James murmured, but it was obvious that she was not. What were the chances that just on the day Maximilian's ex-wife decided to put a stop to this situation, some crazy person would start following them around? This was no coincidence. With his thoughts racing, trying in vain to find some other escape route, James can only think of two th

The conversation with the two law enforcement officers was, at best, tiresome. At worst, horrible.The two policemen were about the same size, age, and build. The expression on their faces was not the best either. It was evident that they were treating the couple with a certain disregard.James also noticed that they didn't act like normal policemen. With each passing minute, his suspicion grew.When after ten measly minutes the cops started walking back to their vehicle, the man walked up to them."Wait."One of the men turns to him, and the other continues walking to the car as if he had not even heard anything."My mistress and I are very scared. Is there absolutely nothing they can do? You won't even take us to the police station to file a report?"The policeman spits out the gum he was chewing before smiling at James, but there was sarcasm present in his expression."Listen here, butler. I don't think you understand the gravity of your situation yet."Before James can ask anythin
He Can't Forget Me 20. In search of answers
Without fear of sounding rude or offensive, James, fearing that Mariana would have another breakdown, takes the cell phone from Mariane and quickly gets up from the couch."James!" she complains."Leave those worries to me, Mariana.""But that affects me directly too!""I know. But please let me take things from here on out, okay? I don't want you to lose your baby."Upon hearing those words, the girl bites her lip to hold back the tears. How could she continue her pregnancy with calm and tranquility when everything around her was in complete chaos?Mariana's friend reads the e-mail."First of all, I need to tell you from the beginning: we are in a complete jam, involved up to our necks in a much more complex and cruel plot that I would never have expected. However, it is obvious that even though they are very good at what they do, they are not perfect. Worse still: they underestimated me. I will be in constant contact with you, so keep your eyes open.A friend."Frowning, James rerea
He Can't Forget Me 21. The request
Mariana is puzzled by the sudden change in James' expression. She puts the bowl of cereal aside and turns completely to him, feeling a mixture of curiosity and anxiety."What is it?" she asks, her voice revealing a slight tremor of expectation.James scratches the back of his neck, looking away for a moment before fixing his eyes on hers."I... I don't even know how to say this to you, but... Look. First of all I want to apologize to you.""Apology for what?""For being quiet all this time. For not...being totally clear."Mariana raises one of her eyebrows. James has always been quite eloquent, having worked in journalism for much of his life, but there and now the man seemed to be a shy student presenting a poster to the rest of the class."What are you talking about? Did something happen?""Yes. Yes, it happened. And... I'm sorry.""But I should apologize to you for what? For you nott telling me sooner, or for what happened, whatever it is?""Both."Mariana puts her hands on her wai
He Can't Forget Me 22. Touch (Explicit content!)
Mariana bites her lip, trying in vain to calm down and understand things. Then, in a breath of her voice, the girl says:"Yes."That simple answer seems to turn on a flickering light on James' face, who was surely hoping for a negative. Subtly, the man strokes Mariana's rosy cheeks, with all the delicacy in the world. She snuggles into his touch, but her eyes are still curious, dazzled by the discovery and the surprise that still gripped her."James," she murmurs.The man's nose brushes against hers as he slowly brushes his own lips against hers.The kiss is quite sweet, soft and whispery, like the spring breeze on flowers.Every touch, every snap, and every movement is subtle and not at all disrespectful, as if James was pondering that the time was not right for that passion to be fully demonstrated.Mariana opens her eyes and frowns as she places her hand on her own belly."The baby kicked," she says in surprise, smiling immediately afterwards."That's good. I always knew he liked
