Obsession Of The Billionaire 63
"Is there a problem, Leo? "I asked, getting closer.He sniffed and rubbed his eyes to keep the tears away, then stretched the paper of his hands so that I could pick it up. The paper was stained with heavy drops of tears, and the dents indicated a lot about Lany's anger when receiving it."They sent me away, Tasha. Do you believe that? They didn't even let me work for an inner year, man. I won't even get the insurance. I missed a lot of opportunities to get in here and they did this to me. "Lany sobbed as he repressed his tears and kept rubbing his eyes hard. "I really want them all to get screwed. They still had the courage to commit racism with me, Tasha. They said that people of my kind do not deserve as much freedom as they give to the employees here. They claimed that I caused discomfort to my co-workers. No one has ever said an "A" about me in this place, and they come to say that I cause discomfort? They're going to pay me, Tasha. I swear to God. I'm going to kill these bums.”

" Don't let hatred consume you, Lany," I spoke softly, because I started to listen to some people approaching. Nobody entered the cafeteria. Most employees only went up there during working hours to use the bathrooms. Even so, my throat even hurt so low that I kept talking to Leo's ears. "If you need anything, just look for me. You know I'll always be here.”And when I walked away, Lany still held my arm, with his rough fingers squeezing my skin. And despite the hatred in his features, his eyes softened a little when he said:"You can also look for me if you need to, Tasha. I mean, if you need to put an end to things, you can look for me. I've reached my limit.”And I knew he was referring to his own life. That he would lose his own will to live when he took someone else's life, and that he didn't care about it. He was willing to be the suicide bomber of the situation. And I didn't know if I felt extremely shocked or admired. In the end, I nodded vehemently and walked away, giving up

"Are you okay? "Flynn asked as soon as I got into his car. "It looks like you've been crying.”I had not shed a tear even before he met me in the middle of the avenue, because my pride never allowed me to truly cry without first feeling the pain involving my entire heart. By the way, if this happened in front of someone, it would probably be a trick to move. I hadn't even started my theater, and Flynn was already my spectator. When I settled in the passenger seat and he left with the car, I took advantage of the fact that his attention turned to the streets and I sniffed loudly, like someone who was really crying for a long time."I heard something terrible and I don't know how to deal with it," I replied, taking a hand to my eyes to ward off a ghost tear. Flynn observed the gesture, again turning his eyes to the illuminated road. " But I can't tell anyone, and the guilt is killing me.”"You have a good heart, Tasha," he said, so sure that I had to hold back my laugh. "That's why it a

I knew he wasn't thinking I was that smart at that moment. It seemed to have been an answer given with reason, and not the heart, but I was being sincere. Maybe only at that moment I had been totally honest with him from the moment we met. Because I loved the weather and its cheating. I loved the dark and stormy sky, because it could be deadly. A deadly beauty. But I couldn't explain it to him, so I let him think he was more cultured and intelligent for admiring the stars and any luminous being in the sky, while I admired everything that was sad and dangerous, like thunder."Do your friend know that you are bringing someone tonight? "I asked."Oh, you know," he replied quickly. And I noticed that maybe he was lying when he said he used to spend his time alone and having his meals. I wasn't stupid enough to believe that a man like Flynn Ashton would spend any time alone. Then he stretched between our seats and pulled a large and heavy fabric from the rear seats. "Take it. Wear my overc

Flynn gave me such an indecent look, so immoral, that I had to look away and get busy contouring the tablecloth drawings with my fingertips. I hated that feeling of letting my body give itself so much to him, even in the moments when he wasn't touching me. But I had to admit, it was very exciting to be talking nonsense to someone without having to contain myself or having to annul everything that really amused me. Despite the regrets, Flynn still seemed the only person I could act with without thinking, and he would be there to laugh.I didn't feel that way even in my period of dating Cristiano. At that time I felt that I was always under constant pressure of wanting to please him. With Flynn it was different. It was natural. He seemed really made for me, and I tried to adapt to what he was looking for, without realizing that I was just acting as I normally would."I also like to eat," he echoed. "It's very good for my immunity, by the way. I can't even remember when I got a bad flu.”
Obsession Of The Billionaire 68
When the rain fell in a lightning-free storm, we went back to the car and left for my house. The real intention was that Flynn would just leave me at home and leave, even though he drank more than he should and was not so prudent at the wheel. However, as soon as he parked in front of my apartment and we went out in the rain, I got soaked immediately and it was no use running to shelter under the roof of the building. In addition to the rain, there was also the strong wind, so we had not taken more than five steps until the clothes were heavy and the body was completely wet."I hope you don't get the flu," he said, smiling against the waters that slid furiously on his face. The hair he had left stuck in a bun was now loosening with the force of rain against his head, and some strands clung against his forehead. "Especially because it will be my fault.”I had a laugh that was muffled by the sound of rain around us. The taste of the water was pure and involved my words even before I cou

Flynn Ashton followed me to the entrance of my apartment, and started grumbling on his cell phone while calling the insurance company, because he believed they would arrive much faster than waiting for dawn to bring a mechanic. However, he was not even answered for the thirty minutes he tried to make the call, and grumbled for a good five minutes later saying that they did not provide support twenty-four hours of crap at all.He entered my apartment totally distracted, still involved in his cloud of anger because someone was not meeting the expectations he expected, and this made me write down another dubious characteristic of his nature. The easiest way to get to know someone for real is to see their reaction when listening to a no, or their way of treating those who are somehow below them. And I didn't like most of the complaints made by Flynn, even though he was laughing as if he were a grumpy old man whose lawn had been invaded by children, because I didn't want him to realize tha

Flynn sketched the least of the concerns, acting better than I expected when listening to that. For a moment, as I said, I thought that his pride could speak louder and that he would retreat, but on the contrary, he supported both hands next to my head and leaned down, watching my mouth and not my eyes."I agree to keep getting to know each other and see what this can happen. But don't ask me to be discreet, Tasha. When I want something, I go to the end. And all I want right now is to unravel each of its mysteries, even if it takes a few days or a long time.”I knew that. In fact, I really expected him to go all the way, even if there was no chance of a happy ending to that fairy tale inside out, I wanted him to strive to the last drop. And I realized the promises he made through beautiful words.No man who has just met a woman will say on his second date that he would like to spend years with her to discover her secrets. He said this to try to reach some place that no other man has b

I almost no longer needed to use the tracker I had installed on Flynn's cell phone at the beginning of everything. I only used it because I still couldn't stop that mistrust when I noticed that he spent too much time working. But the conversations were always the same with the customers. And I didn't suspect that he was going out with other people, because there was no time when we weren't together. Still, I couldn't totally trust him. There were days when I didn't sleep. Not until I was really alone at home.My sleep problems remained the same. Always caused by that fear of being vulnerable next to someone else, and also by the constant nightmares about the murders I've been orchestrating with the help of someone else. I never told my therapist the truth. I never let him reach more than the edge of my feelings. At the same time I was policing myself to act and speak the way everyone expected Tasha Santos to do, although deep down there was that rabid animal that was always ready to a

"Can you behave like educated children? "He scolded my sister, pulling one of my nephews by the ear. "That's why I never go out with you!”" Jenyfer, it doesn't have to be so hard," countered my brother-in-law, reaching the smaller child who wouldn't stop climbing on the couch and throwing the cushions up. "They are too small to understand. And I'm sure your sister doesn't mind them playing, does Tasha?”"They will understand very well when their aunt put them on platters and bake for our lunch," shouted Jenyfer, looking with her eyes for any confirmation that I would be really furious.I left the platter with pasta in white sauce on the table and stretched my neck to see through the open door of the kitchen, finding my brother-in-law with my three-year-old nephew on his lap who kicked and shook his golden curl hair, in a desperate attempt to get back to mess up everything he found on his way. While my sister held her eldest son, ten years old, by the tip of her ear. It should be hurt

I still hid many secrets from Flynn. The biggest of them was also a surprise that left me in shock for at least three days, until I remembered that I needed to act normally so that he had no idea what was happening to my body, until I found the perfect opportunity to use this against him. At the moment, we were fine. We had sex every day. We ate in fancy places. We slept in the moonlight. And sometimes we resumed the sexual provocations and attacks within the company.Everything seemed very good in my life. So good that sometimes I even wondered where the hidden cameras of the prank were. Because trying to compare the woman of months ago who barely had time to eat and sleep because of the two jobs that they couldn't even pay the bills, and trying to find similarities with the woman who was having the life of dreams, was impossible. I still worked during the day and dedicated myself to writing in my free moments, wanting to reach higher and higher levels in that achievement, and willin

I knelt before the well-kept and immaculate tomb of one of the farthest cemeteries in the city, depositing my set of small yellow flowers below the concrete tombstone, which read "Diana Garcia. 08/23/1991. 12/24/2020."Despite bringing a handkerchief in my hands and touching it from time to time in the waterline of my eyes, I wasn't crying. In fact, the only emotion I felt was the pure satisfaction of having accomplished all my goals without anyone realizing where I was wanting to go. Diana Garcia had been the woman who gave the bad luck to cross her path to mine, when she decided to mistreat me and demoralize in front of her ex-husband, and my current fiancé, Flynn Ashton. I persuaded an unstable and deeply shaken man to take his life. I manipulated and orchestrated every step taken, and I still became some kind of national victim who was too traumatized to give clear statements to the police. Diana Garcia was my perfect victim, and Landon the criminal who freed me from paying for an

"What's going to happen now? "I asked against your chest. "What do we do with life? With the police? The investigator was here earlier. He asked me about my relationship with Leo, the man who held me hostage at the end of the robbery. In the researcher's opinion, I seemed to be too friendly with someone who always presented unstable behaviors.”"I knew," he said, leaning his chin on my head. "They want to discredit us in every way, Tas. But you don't have to worry. I have a real team of lawyers. No one will get enough arguments to cause fear. They have nothing to suspect, at the end of the day. The point is that it is much more interesting to focus on the relationships we had with the people involved in the crime, than to actually solve it. That's the problem with the police in this place.”"I'm still afraid, Flynn. "I commented in a trembling voice. "I'm still afraid that they might catch me off guard and make me confess something I didn't even do. I've never been in front of police

"I don't feel vulnerable," I said, already feeling in which direction that conversation would take. I had to show that I was very stubborn and the owner of my own will. "And I think this whole situation may have made you a little paranoid, Flynn. I'm not criticizing. I think anyone in their normal state would become a little suspicious. But if you're suggesting that I need security guards, I refuse. I can’t work every day knowing that when I leave the supermarket I will get into a car with two armed men and that they will leave me at home, or that they will take me to your house, because you no longer trust the people who live in my building, and that’s why you prefer to avoid it. I don't want bodyguards, just like you don't want to either. And I don't think that being with you will make me a target. I think this can even increase my security, since no one will want to mess with someone so powerful.”"I know the question is strange to you," he said, still without looking me in the eye

Flynn totally entered the room, and seeing him was like opening the curtains in a dark room. He was my sun on that rainy night outside, and I was really happy to see him. The hair was loose on his shoulders, and the smooth and silky strands slipped smoothly to make the face even more beautiful and shiny. He took off his mask and kept it in his pocket, while still watching me, looking as happy and radiant as I should be."The nurse told us that the number of visits was limited," Cristiano said somewhere far from my attention. "I don't think she'll be happy to see so many people in here. Tasha just went through a traumatic situation. She needs rest. You can't keep getting so many people in the room like that.”"You're right," said Flynn, looking away for a quick moment to observe Cristiano. "You can leave now. I've arrived.”"I'm not going out," Cristiano said with a dull giggle. "I arrived first.”"Oh, for God's sake! "Beatrice grunted, rising from a jump. She pulled Cristiano violentl

"Look, Cris... I really like you. I really loved you more than anything in this life. But you're not the guy I can call when the situation gets tight, you know? "I said, performing a mouth-in-mouth. "You're the guy who amuses me, makes me laugh, but that's all. All you do besides that is hurt me. And I know you may be being sincere in saying that you really realized that we were born for each other and that we should continue together, but now, after all, you no longer fit into my life, Cris.”"No, Tas. You don't have to say anything. "He interrupted, pretending that I hadn't really said anything. "I understand that you are already with someone else. And I don't want this guy to suffer, thinking that you'll be able to love him as you love me. I know you can't love anyone the same way you loved me, and I think he'll need some time to understand that. But I don't want to force anything. I don't want you to tell him out of nowhere that you don't want to see him anymore. We can make it wo

Beatrice snorted, but went to sit in one of the chairs, watching Cristiano like an eagle watching the chicks in her nest."What do you need to know? "He asked."How did the police arrive so fast? "I asked Beatrice, disappointing Cristiano's expectations. "How did they know what was happening in the supermarket, if the employees were surrendered before they had time to call them?”"The police had been following Flynn since the first crime," she replied, undoing the angry expression. "They considered him a suspect, yes, but the point was that they believed that the bandits would not leave Flynn alive to tell the story of what had happened. And, being a billionaire man in the middle of Brazil, they took on the role of following his every step to know if they would not meet the bandits at some point. And the moment came when Flynn came to pick you up that night. They were waiting across the street, in plainclothes, when they noticed that masked men entered the establishment. All we really
