Two days after my arrival in the countryside, I received a call from Hector. To say that my legs didn't immediately shake and my heart didn't beat faster would be a lie.Oh Hector, how I wish you could tell me right now that you sent Cindy out of your life, your home, your country... If that's what you called me for, I'll be yours forever. But if not... You will meet my fury."Hi..." I said, trying not to sound nervous.- I just can't stand to miss you. – He said at once.- This sentence can be changed. May I suggest it be “Barbara, I miss you so much.” What do you think?- You fucking understand. What a habit you have of trying to confuse me... And make me even crazier than I already am.- You can change this to: Barbara, without you I can't even think straight...- Fuck, when are you coming back?- This one you replace with: “How is your grandmother? I hope well."He was silent on the other end of the line, but I could hear his nervous breathing.- Tell me Cindy is not in charge of
- I can't, Baby. I need to fulfill the promise I made to her.Heavens, my chest hurt so much. Remembering my mother broke me. It was such a great, intense longing. And I knew I could never get rid of that feeling inside me. Because I wouldn't see her again, with her sweet smile, her perseverance and optimism and the certainty she gave me that everything would work out, always.If there was a promise that I wouldn't find out the truth, Mom was sure I would seek revenge on the bastard.Of course I was going to find out, one way or another. I didn't want to know who my parent was. But to be sure who was the man who hurt the most perfect woman in the whole world: my mother.Mandy wiped my tears and said:- You're not a child anymore... And I know it. But as long as I live, I will protect you from anything that could hurt you.She started the car and drove off again. We went in silence until we arrived at the site.As soon as we entered the house, I said:- I'll stay here for a while.- No
I could tell that it hurt me deeply. But it didn't hurt, because honestly, I didn't expect great things from the man who got my mother pregnant and disappeared, leaving no trace.- I never had expectations of him. – I confessed.- If he was a horrible, cruel and cold man to you and your mother? Yes it was. But he regretted it, in the last years of his life.- And I judged Allan - he laughs, with derision. “I think he was much more of a man than Francesco Perrone.- Francesco Perrone regretted it and that's what matters."It doesn't fucking matter to me," I yelled. – I was ignored by this disqualified person for 27 years. Do you know what 27 years is, Sebastian? – I started walking around the huge room with little furniture, completely stunned and nervous. “Now I understand why my mother didn't even talk about him. Because the ordinary wasn't even worth the saliva you spent on it.- Baby... I know. I never thought he did it right. But since I knew there was you in my life, I haven't gi
I burst into the North B. CEO's office like a hurricane. As soon as they saw me, the secretaries immediately got up:- Miss Novaes! – one of them said.Before they could say anything else, I opened the door without asking permission. Hector was gathered with several men, all seated around a table, to the left of those entering the room.- Out, everyone, now! I pointed my finger at the door.Hector began to move his swivel chair from side to side and faced me, seeming to enjoy the situation.As he didn't say anything, all the men got up and left. As soon as the last of them was gone, I slammed the door shut, slamming into the wall.- Should I be afraid? He arched an eyebrow playfully.- I'll kill you. I said, motionless, feeling my heart pounding so hard I could barely breathe.Of course I thought I'd go over there and finish him off. And yes, I would. But first my body needed to get used to his there, not wanting to touch him, even without my brain's permission.Damn, how I loved that
If I wanted to go back into that room and tell him how much I loved him, that it wasn't just deep feelings, that I made that up not to say what I really wanted? The answer is yes. Did I have the courage to do this? Not.There was a time when I let my heart speak louder and I was screwed for eight years, suffering in the worst way possible, for the man I thought I loved, for his mother, for his brothers, living pains that weren't mine.I could no longer do this. Now my pains. I tolerated Mirela and Cindy. Then the call the blonde answered. The mess at North B. when she was there. I tolerated him saying that he couldn't go on with the business without her, as she was his trusted person. I endured knowing that the underclass had an apartment in the same luxurious building as him, given as a gift. Now, for him to steal my idea and say he'd done it for me… No, that wasn't forgivable.It was like getting into a relationship already knowing it wouldn't work out. We weren't Romeo and Juliet,
It was supposed to be a pleasant night. And it wasn't. I ended up alone, “canceled” by my own friends.I even think they did it on purpose so I could wash and dry the dishes myself.As I scrubbed the dishes, my head couldn't stop thinking about Hector. I put an end to it... Ending myself. Because being away from him is like losing me forever. But I couldn't forgive what he had done. Was he being intolerant? No, I was not.The bell rang. My heart nearly jumped out of my mouth. What if it was him? We weren't expecting anyone at that time.I pulled my hair back and looked at myself in the mirror to see if I looked okay. Meanwhile the bell rang.I opened the door and came face to face with a tall, dark-haired woman with light eyes. He had long hair and wore a white suit with a red blouse underneath. The bag she carried on her forearm had the famous brand logo in full size.- Can I help you with something? I asked, thinking it was a mistake.- Yes... I'm looking for “Ben”.- Ben? – I was i
- OK. – I nodded.He handed me the envelope:- Your time. I opened the first.I took a deep breath and felt an indescribable anxiety. I slowly opened the seal on adhesive paper, containing the name of the laboratory. Inside, an A4 sheet, white, with small letters that came to scramble my mind.My eyes went straight to the result: 99.99% in the affirmative. Of course, we were already almost certain, but the new statement left us in no doubt.- And then? he asked, panting.- Yes... We are brothers, Sebastian. There are no doubts.He came to me. I got up from the chair and we hugged. It wasn't a crazy hug anymore, like the first time. He was tender and loving, between brothers. We spent maybe three minutes feeling our hearts pounding.As we pulled away, I saw tears in his eyes.- I can't believe it, Sebastian!- I'm sorry. He wiped away his tears.- You're crying for being my brother! this is good or bad? – I played.- I swear if it was negative, I would adopt you. - Laughed.- You fool.
I looked calmly in his direction.- Mr Casanova? I didn't realize it was here. I'm sorry. I brought my hand to my face, feigning surprise.- Of course you saw me, Barbara. Just like I saw you with this man. His family is dangerous. Take care: you can wake up in a wheelchair.The waiter came to Hector's table, lifting his chair. All eyes were on us.- Sit down, Thor! – Cindy said, her face reddened.I looked at her and smiled. She was going to know who she was dealing with.- She doesn't run that risk, because she's not a scoundrel, like her father. – Sebastian retaliated.Hector sat up and I realized he was panting. And very angry. And it would get worse. He was with Cindy again. In other words, nothing would ever change. Good thing I didn't believe him or give him a chance. Because I would still be the lover of that blonde who danced on the middle dick. Casanova was no good, as were his father and the rest of his family.The waiter brought the wine, opening it in front of us. He pour
