“What?!”
“Have you seen Faith?”
“I told you to watch her, Richard Marcus Sanders! I'm changing Joy!”
“I was busy! Okay?”
“Yes!” She said knowing I wasn’t “Candy Crush surely occupied all of your time!”
I couldn't help the annoyed gesture my mouth made.
I had a new addiction and it was this stupid game, and of course, Olivia had discovered it, and now whenever I got distracted with it and lost any of the girls, or both, she always said the same thing:
Drop the phone and find the girls!
I went room by room, avoiding the twins’ because my wife was there, until a noise from ours caught my attention.
I silently peeked out to see what I was encountering, but incredibly, there was no one.

We found ourselves looking uncomfortably at each other aroundthatconference table.That specific Monday, we had met to discuss a series of points regarding the business,and as the CEO of the company and itsrepresentative, I had to dispense with the debates that were taking place at that moment.For example, one of the points to discuss that Monday was the meeting thatwould take place tomorrow,with the representatives of the advertising company that would be in charge of the development of the advertising campaign for the new wine catalog that the vineyard of my brother Matt, who was present inthe group, had developed.Notably,my brother was new in the area of trade as it had always used his wine for personal consumption, but thanks to an investor who recently had proven product.” I.” had convinced him to develop as divine nectarat higher scale, of course he had refusedatfirst,

For a Monday night,the barwas full, I managed to find a place at the bar next to a guy who apparently had been drinking for several hours and looked more and more desperate.Looking around, I noticed that most customers were wearing Knicks T.” shirts and when I looked up toone of the many tv’s that in place, I knew they were playing with theBullsand unfortunately, New York would sink into a new depression because their favorite teamwas losing.Maybe that was the reason why you couldn’t even heara minimal breathing in the bar, because everybody was awaiting the final minutes of thegame ordrinking.“Harry, this is the last drink that I serve you.” said a sensual voice from behind the bar,making my eyes go there,to stopinto a spectacular and sexy woman with beautiful blue eyes and hair as dark as the night, which had a portion of

Just as I got out of the bathroom,I felt a handon my shoulder.Ithoughtit wasmy lover, the giver of the best orgasm of my life, but when I turned around, I found the angry face of my little brother a few inches from mine.“Doyou have any idea how long I've been waiting for you in thisplace?“Jesus… What agreeting.Sixmonths without seeing each other and hewasjust as effusive.“Well, hello to you too,Jonny.” I said sarcastically, which apparently made him realize his mistake and hugged me.“Sorry.” he said resting his chin on myhead.Hehad grown so much overnight “Elizabeth said you had been looking for service on that joke of phone you have all over the bar until you told her you were going to the bathroom.”Iadoredmy friend, but in those moments, I felt that I loved he

“Sir, excuse me forinterrupting, but is already ten.” said Nina me over the intercom.“So? what do you wantme to do?” I barked.“To go to your fucking meeting!” sheexclaimed out of nowhere,andI couldn’t hide the shockthat caused me listening to my shy assistant speaking to me like that“I’m so sorry sir, it’s just that... You exasperate me. Please,don’t fire me. Ihave a house to pay, a cat and triplets and...”“Nina”I interrupted her as I got out of my stupor. There was a barely whispered, yes? “Take the rest of the morning off... andNina?” Again the same answer “forgive me for being such a bastard with you today.“I didn't wait for an answer, I knew that my assistant had already run to the elevators to escape as quickly as possible from&

“Nicholas Spark.”“What?” I asked coming out of my lethargy.“Yeah... That’sthe only logical answer I can give to you.” Eli said with a thoughtful look.“Aboutwhat?” Now besides my nerves, I was also confused, because in onehand, therewas the fact that I had slept with Mark, my Mark!And on the other one was my friend with her ramblings about writers.“That beef of a man who did a better scenethan those girls onAmerica's Next Top Modelwas the Mark of your teenage years?”“Yes.”“That onewas the one who hid his cock in your pussy and almost showed it in your mouth?”“ElizabethMill!” Ishouted shocked looking everywhere in the meeting room, hoping that no one had heard us, butonly the two of ushad remainedin

“I still don't understand the reason for your insistence to bring your assistant with me, Mark."“Because your assistant is sick and mine doesn't know Mexico, Kristos.That’s why”“You know I can defend myself alone in these matters, the only thing your assistant can do is delay Be productive's relations with that travel agency.”I looked at him annoyedfor afew seconds.My assistant might be the most complex woman in America, but she was also the most competent and professional at her job, and I let him know that.“She barely sees me and stutters!” Heexclaimed furiously, hitting the desk with the palms of his hands “Don't tell me you haven't noticed that...”“Maybe.” Iobserved interrupting him “You should know her a little more so you realize why she acts like this...”We stared at each other for a moment before my head of

“And you’re feeling okay?”“Ialready told you I’m fine, Mark...”“I know yourolledyour eyes.” He stated annoyed “Don't do it, I just want to know how you are.”I covered the phone with my hand and that's when I was able to laugh the way I wanted.“My love.” I said trying to sound serious “I'm fine, the babies are fine, all we want is for you to come back soon.”“I don't like being away from you.” Hemurmured in a muffled voice.My heart clenched in my chest at the thought of him alone.“Hopefully you can return soon.” I said in the same tone of voice.On Monday while we were having breakfast, he had received a call.His cook, the one who a few months ago had attempted suicide by inhaling gas directly from the stove, had died with a respiratory arrest.

How could it be that I got pregnant with that on?”“All contraceptive methods have their risk percentage.” Heexplained “You were the 1% of this.”“You put a fuckingT-shaped device inmy vagina topreventmen's swimmers from entering my ovaries, Gabriel.” I looked at him feeling that panic took over my body “Then explain to me how just happened the opposite.”“Maybe you made a sudden movement that took it from place.” hesaid with a sh

After our little altercation, in which Olivia in a funny way, for her, told me that she was leaving me, things were excellent.The only outburst we had since then,was when she knew I had an eye surgery afew years ago.She sent me to hell, when she knew I did it to please Jessica at the beginning of our relationship, since she had said that she couldn’t see my eyes through them.“I never would have forced you to do something like that!” She exclaimed that night “She really was a bitch for trying to changewho you are...”That night we had slept with our backs to each other, but atsome point inthe morning, I had felt her arm tightening on my stomach and that was when I was finally able to sleep peacefully.After that episode, we fell into a routinethat,for me, was the best.Thanks to Elizabeth and me,Olivia haddecided to open a new Cra
