2024-10-29 19:42:56Friedrich pushed the door to make sure, although he knew it was true what they said on TV. He did not watch this kind of shows, but lately, he was paying attention to all the gossip shows, since Dominik had decided to act like a true celebrity. After getting a copy of his client's key and persuading the manager to break his privacy policy, he managed to get the door open.
He grabbed his head with both hands and cursed under his breath.
The room is empty.
“Damn it!” He shouted and kicked the bed.
“What is going on?” Ewald asked from the door.
“Dominik's gone.”
“What do you mean he's gone?”
“He went back to Los Angeles looking for that girl.”
“How come?” Ewald looked around the room, hoping this was some kind of prank.
“Just like he did at the airport when we came to America, same as he did during that press conference. Dominik in an escape artist” Friedrich broke a sweat.
“Excuse me, sir” somebody's voice said from the door that made him look. “They left this at the front desk for Friedrich Treadaway.”
The man frowned, coming towards the guy who brought the envelope he was being handed over. As he looked at it and saw the name of the sender, a huge smile turned up on his mouth. He had forgotten the detective Raymond Carter was investigating everything relating to Samanta Andrade, and, by the looks of it, he had found a plenty. Those $5.000 it had cost him to expedite this process were worth every penny.
“What is that?” Asked Metzler.
“This, dear Ewald, is what will keep Samanta Andrade from getting in our way” responded Friedrich.
Ewald came closer to the publicist and pulled a paper sheet from the envelope.
“Narconon International. What is this?” He asked after noticing the marks on the paper Friedrich was holding.
Treadaway stuck to reading the paper carefully, paying special attention to the personal data.
Patient: Samanta Andrade.
Cause of Admittance: Intoxication from ingestion of MDMA.
His eyes opened in awe and he smothered a smirk. He took his phone and dialed the number at the bottom of the page.
“Good morning, Narconon International. How can we help you?” a woman's voice answered on the other end of the line.
“Good morning, I need information on a patient” said Friedrich trying to sound like a doctor.
“I'm sorry, sir, we're not allowed to share information of any kind about none of our patients” the woman said, keeping her nice tone.
“OK. I understand. Can you tell me about your institution?” He wondered.
“Of course, sir. Here at, Narconon we provide an efficient way for rehabilitation from drug abuse and help society avoid the burden of drug addiction at a world-wide level.”
“Drugs?” Friedrich was shocked.
“Yes, sir, we are a rehab facility for drug addicts. Not only do we cater to their physical and psychological needs drug use causes, we also solve the causes our patients resorted to drugs in the first place. As a result, tens of thousands of patients have graduated from the Narconon program, obtaining new lives, free from the use of drugs. The Narconon program is based on…”
«My, My. You're full of surprises, Samanta Andrade».
The voice of the kind woman faded away between Friedrich's thoughts, more and more macabre ideas came to mind. He had the perfect weapon to get Samanta out of the equation.
He hung up just like that and dialed a different number.
“What are you doing?” Asked Ewald.
Friedrich raised his hand asking for silence.
“Hello?” a male voice answered.
“My dear Steve Andrew, it's a pleasure to talk to you again.”
“Who's this?” Asked the editor to the magazine that provided him with Samanta's personal information.
“I am the man who will provide you with some info that'll shoot your sales outside the stratosphere.”
“What kind of information?” Steve asked.
“The dark past of Samanta Andrade, Dominik Weigand's latest love interest.”

The moonlight seeped in through the window of the JW Marriot Chairman suite, lighting the lovers who were about to consummate their love. Their eyes could not decide where to look, there was so much to behold, but, albeit the nudity, there lingered a certain degree of shyness. Thousands of emotions made, little by little, to both, man and woman, join in tender kisses that became wild indulgence of passion. Unique sensations that pushed them to the brink of sanity, threatening with addiction of tasting the body of a significant other.Samanta bit her lips when she noticed Dominik's tattoos. Tribals covered his arms and some greek lettering crossed his lower abdomen. He was a stunning man. Every muscle was defined, he had such a white skin he seemed made of white chocolate.“You're the most beautiful thing I have ever seen” whispered Dominik, pulling Sam out of her dreamland.He came closer to her and leaned in, spreading kisses along her neck.“Thank you” she muttered, unable to stop a

Carlos stayed in silence on the whole way home, listening to Samanta. He knew how badly she needed to vent, the past two weeks had been complete madness. A little bit of everything happened. Starting with the fact that she met one of the most admirable footballers of all time, and not only that, she had a sentimental relationship with him. On top of that, her ex-boyfriend, the man who marked her life, returned. She wondered if Teresa knew about that. If she wasn't, he wouldn't be the one to tell her. That would be another problem to add to the pile. To top it all off, those damn scavengers dug in her trash, bringing back out all that crap Samanta thought was long forgotten.Thinking of all of this made him feel guilty he confessed. Unwillingly, he had become one of the reasons Samanta was now crying.«Poor thing.

His eyes wandered between the clouds in the beautiful American sky. This went on for almost one hour, he was only thinking. The horizon passed before his eyes, and he seemed to not care.Two days went by without hearing from Samanta, that made him very cranky, also, all those tedious norms he had to keep up with to avoid suspension for any additional time.As soon as he arrived to Santa Clara, Friedrich rushed him to the conference hall at the local Hilton, where the German Football Federation along with the team to discuss certain aspects of the players' behavior. Specifically, Dominik. Threats were very clear. Weigand would be suspended for the rest of the season if he committed another fault against the team. Although Friedrich and Ewald tried to mediate between the players and the board, but they still suspended him for a game.That same day he attended the corresponding practice, where he did double the usual workout as long as he could prove Ewald what he could do when it came t

3 days ago.It was 1pm and Samanta was sitting on a couch drinking some iced tea while she stared at the two suit cases sitting by the door. She let out a sigh and put her cup on the table. She took the note she had such a hard time writing last night. Teresa stuck to watching her in silence.Undoubtedly, this was a tough call to make. Although she had made it a long time ago, a variant came into the equation, making her doubt even her own decisions.Her feelings for Dominik were intense, considering the time they had known each other. Things happened too fast, and, although she felt terrible by the way it ended, she did not regret anything. She enjoyed every second of it.“I don't get it” Teresa stood up and walked up to her little sister. “You should be so happy. Yet, you're so sad” she ran her hand through Samanta's brown hair.“I am happy. Very” Sam opened her eyes, faking excitement.“Cut the crap. I heard you last night. You were crying.”“Tears of joy!”“Samanta” Teresa gave he

Dominik turned around feeling defeated. How could a couple plain words make him feel so miserable? It was beyond him how he was still standing, feeling as he was, like he was dying.None the less, there were no tears. No wailing, no complaining. He swallowed his pain like a champion.«It is over», he said to himself. «I lost her forever ».“Dominik” Carlos' voice made him stop and turn back to him.I need him to know I love him and what I am doing is for both our sakes. Can you hand it over to him?Samanta's request replayed in Carlos' mind, almost like she was his consciousness.«The letter». He thought of giving it to him.“What is up?” Inquired Dom.“Good luck on your next game” responded Carlos, deciding not to hand over the letter he got from Samanta.Dominik turned around and walked away from that place that had given him so many memories, and it gave him such a strange feeling. It was almost as if somebody was putting their hand in his chest and squeezed his heart. However, tea

She took refuge in her history books, between her Latin class and that spectacular world that offered endless opportunities.In just one week, she made a couple of friends, among whom, her roommate, Charlotte, or as Sam called her, Charlie. They got along so well, starting with how talkative Charlotte was, crazy and peculiarly good at ancient languages.Among her new group of friends, there were also Amir and Maher, the Mobarek twins. Amir was a very intelligent and dedicated boy, good-looking, the typical local beauty with deep, green eyes that made Samanta nervous to even look at.To Amir, Samanta was not irrelevant, from the first time he saw her, he noticed her innate innocence, the kind you no longer find in a woman from the New World.On the other side, there was also his sister Maher. Identical twins, but she was his exact opposite. She was care-free, a little absent

I turned to the man who was talking to me. There was something in that voice that made me evoke a thousand memories. I looked at him carefully for a while, because although his face was very familiar to me, I couldn't place him. I opened my eyes like saucers and my heart stopped for a fraction of a second when I recognized the owner of those green eyes that were looking at me. In front of me was the personification of all my fears, traumas and insecurities. The man who served as a benchmark to compare all the people who came into my life after him. It was a beautiful vision, and at the same time a nightmare come true. “Antoine,” I said his name with difficulty. If the mere memory of him stirred up a lot of emotions in me, can you imagine “what his presence did to me?” The imposing figure of a six-foot-tall man lay before me. His eyes were greener than I remembered them and he had a beautiful smile (the one that brought out a couple of dimples in his cheeks) plastered on his face. He

I shook my head hard to concentrate on my friend's voice. She kept talking, but I stopped listening to her for a moment because I was thinking about Harvey, the gorgeous blond I met two months ago on one of my many girls' outings with Gabrielle, and who I started dating four weeks ago. He was divorced and had two young children. All my life I was reluctant to have anything with a man with children, because my policy was always: If I can buy a new car, ¿why buy a used one? This thought became ingrained in me as a result of living with my stepmother. It's not that our relationship was bad, but I remember a couple of times I tried to make her life miserable, just for fun. I was afraid that divine justice would take its toll on me for those years of rebellion and headaches I'd caused Valerie. But there was something about Harvey that appealed to me so much. He was very direct and upfront. When he approached me, he didn't do it with the typical cliché phrases that all men use to approac

She was silent, watching as that handsome man walked away. She didn't understand why she couldn't stop looking at him. She had seen handsome men many times. His father lived surrounded by them.
