- "She's not the curious type" Daliah assured.- "She asked me about my father" Lora walked to the coffee maker and removed the last coffee she had prepared, placing it on the tray.- "This subject does not count"- "I know it generates curiosity, but it's still my personal life" the redhead analyzed what was on the tray; sugar, coffees, spoons, cream and sweetener. It looked good enough.- "Get used to fame, babe" Daliah drank the last sip of her water and left the kitchen, heading for the chaos of clothes and stressed bodies that awaited her.Lora looked uncomfortable. The world was big and dangerous, but at this point, so was she. He knew how to deal with people, situations and moments. He never submitted to the superior. However, this was his life before the spotlight on his person. After accepting her father as her provider, she had seen the world through different eyes. It wasn't just his daily struggle to be decent. It was about proving to be someone other than what they had em

Upon arriving home, thirty minutes later, Lora entered the apartment's living room, already removing her heels. I was tired, but not physically. The kitchen light was on, and voices could be heard coming from the room, so I soon learned that his friend, Drake, had arrived from his brief trip to Los Angeles.Lora dragged herself to the kitchen, noticing that the voices were male. One of them was recognized instantly; Jean Lins. It was like enough of the electricity her body still felt after her unexpected encounter with Banks. The woman sighed, thinking of a thousand reasons for this visit, especially since it was so late. She decided, finally, to just try to drown out the destructive thoughts she had when her father was around and walked into the kitchen.At the round table, Jean and Drake were enjoying snacks and sipping wine like good friends. Lora felt her stomach turn over.- "Hi, babe" Drake got up, walked over to her and hugged her tightly enough to steal her breath.- "Hi. I mi

After work was over, Lora felt more at home in the greater Las Vegas. That place was starting to feel like home. The black glass building where he worked, the clubs on the Strip where he passed until he reached the apartment, the streets always busy with cars and people. The mixed scents of luxury and urbanism are no longer new. Finally, she was adjusting to the chaos.She got out of the taxi in front of the building where she lived. Looking at the building, so tall it seemed to reach the sky, she thought she might be getting used to the idea of living so well for the first time in many, many years.The woman would be delighted at the idea of having friends, going out drinking and dancing, living in a good place with her friend and being able to enjoy a normal life. No neglectful and abusive parents, no harassing bosses and misogynistic men, no financial hardship, and most importantly, no lies.Lora was in a trance, looking up and imagining a thousand chances. There was no reason to s

The woman felt panic spread through her body. It was dusk, with little movement in this exquisite part of town. The all-too-familiar fear flashed through her mind with memories of the past, when she'd had no chance to defend herself. Her demons were opportunity hunters, always on the lookout for triggers that could send the redhead over the edge.- "Just talk" he repeated, but she didn't hear him, as she was busy digging her heels into the floor while trying to free herself from the hand tight around her wrist.Lora didn't see or hear the events around her orbit. She was focused on the feeling of helplessness snaking through her mind.However, when the raucous rumble of a speeding car was heard, the man coaxing Lora became alert, so much so that he immediately released the woman's wrist. The car, much like a machine, screeched its tires sharply and audibly across the asphalt when it stopped.The lamborghini Huracan parked diagonally, taking up a considerable part of the track, facing

- "I don't..." with each second, and with each word, the man dressed as a beggar walked away faster. He was afraid, fearing that Evans' glaring danger would become a real risk.- "It was a mistake. I'm sorry"Evans took a step toward the man, determined to commit a crime on the spot, but he took off in a troubled run, his arms twitching and legs unsteady.The air charged with pent-up anger still lingered in the balmy Vegas night. The ever-illuminated city was heavy at that moment, full of questions to be answered and impulses to be controlled.Lora, despite having witnessed every second, still hadn't had time to process everything in her mind. She felt exposed and unprotected, just like in her childhood. However, for the first time, she had help. The angel that his innocent self wanted, to hold him and assuage his fears, had finally arrived.He could be her hero, but the allusion to something kind didn't go with those blue eyes. The look so like a gemstone also carried large doses of

And when the next morning came, the day was ripe for the limitless fun people found only in Vegas. Lora Lins got up from her huge bed, in front of a winter fireplace, feeling like the most privileged woman in town for having that vision.Lora put on her fine silk robe and walked out of the room. The sunny morning shimmered outside the apartment, illuminating the sins of Las Vegas, gilding its promiscuous image. The room was filled with large windows, all facing the most desirable part of the city, the Strip.Even with the blinding glare of the sun, her day took on shadows when she arrived in the apartment's living room and found her father. Jean Lins was sitting on one of the sofas in the living room, next to a man in a suit and Drake. His friend looked like a surfer next to two mercenaries; completely displaced. He wore pajamas while the men wore dark suits. The image clearly said that Lora and Drake had been approached without any warning.- "Good morning" she closed the robe more p

- "Tell me more about Costa Rica" Drake asked, staring into Daliah's brown eyes.- "That underdeveloped country? Not really. We're in Vegas, honey. Let's talk about this paradise" she replied seriously, but made Drake laugh.- "My God, she's amazing" he said, looking at Lora with an expression of contentment.- "Well, I'm curious about your relationship. You live together, look at each other with affection and show incredible intimacy and chemistry. How can you just be friends?" Daliah was surprised at how close the friends were.- "Lora is all I have, and I love her like a sister. I'm a nice guy, I know that, and we would be the couple of the century. But I see something in her that goes beyond attraction and romance. We are family" Drake murmured her words of affection as she looked at the horizon stretching out the window, inspiring her thoughts on moments she lived with the redhead by her side.- "There's no attraction. So you're gay?" Daliah frowned her perfectly plucked brows.-

The group was in the limousine again, in the same positions as before. Evans wasn't there, having returned to his apartment first, in one of the cars he kept in New York. All you had to do was make a phone call to have a vehicle at your disposal.Lora was quiet, thinking about what those people were assuming about her and Evans.- "No need to feel guilty, Lora" Will looked at the redhead with empathy in his eyes.- "Of course she needs to feel guilty. Evans never loses control" Mariah argued.Lora thought about ignoring the comment, just as she was ignoring everything else. The way Mariah carried herself was unnecessary for her. It was just like Lana, except for some approach privileges.- "You'd love to have the same power over him, sweetie" Mack muttered, knowing closely the feelings his sister had for Banks.- "Look at me, Mack. Do you really think I have no power over Evans?" the words were addressed to her brother, but Mariah was looking at Lora.Mariah Donovan was a model known

- "Don't even try to escape, Banks. We're going to a club when the parade is over, whether you're accompanied or not"Will was sociable. He liked to go out, enjoy his life and push the limits whenever he could. He was easy and accessible to everyone, always smiling and showing his best side. On the other hand, his friend did not have any of the aforementioned characteristics.They were several feet away from the walkway, for two reasons. Evans didn't want to find Lora, having decided she was a part of the past. And then he didn't like crowds. Not that people were stupid enough to treat Evans Donovan like part of the crowd.Will thought for a moment about asking about Lora. But if she'd learned anything about Evans, and she certainly had, it was that he wasn't the type to call the next day. And if the redhead wasn't his companion anymore, that meant he'd won the trophy and crossed the finish line without ever having to look back.- "See, Mack is here" Will tilted the glass of whiskey h

While her father and friend had a pleasant conversation at the table, Lora kept her attention on the table by the windows. She wanted to, but couldn't help but look at that man. He was handsome in an intense way, the kind that made people uncomfortable around him. The blonde who accompanied him was also pretty, but next to him, she'd only served as a background.- "Why is Mr. Donovan here?" Drake asked at some point in the conversation.- "He has business in all branches, maybe that's why. Or maybe he's just Miss Donovan's escort"Lora knew the second option was unfeasible. Evans wasn't the type to accompany someone. He needed, necessarily, to be the number one person. However, she did not want to discuss this issue.Lora looked at Evans, wishing she could go back in time, but content with the sight of him taking a sip from her bubbly glass. He didn't seem involved in the conversation around him, though everyone was clearly intent on capturing his attention.- "Is he always at these e

- "Please tell me it wasn't a disaster!" Drake asked, leaning closer to Lora as they walked.- "You were great" she assured, speaking low so as not to capture the attention of the people around her.They were entering the building's restaurant, where all of the evening's guests would enjoy a delightful dinner. Lora, Jean and Drake walked through the large room until they reached the table with their names titled.- "Let's greet Mr. Banks" Jean communicated as she walked towards the table where Evans was seated, along with his companion and a couple of acquaintances.The issue behind the way everyone idolized Evans was a curious one. Lora didn't understand why he was so applauded. Maybe for the money, or power, but she wasn't sure. The only thing he knew was that the world served as a rug for the Banks name.As they approached the round table, Evans could see the redhead. She walked elegantly in the red dress, but she looked uncomfortable outside of her surroundings.Evans was seated ne

Evans and Lana walked slowly to the Lamborghini in the parking lot while talking about private business. Lora was away, giving them both privacy. She still felt her body warm from Evans' hands, which, at that moment, were gripping her bra.- "So I need to make reservations for Sunday?" Lana asked.She, alongside her boss, seemed like the perfect escort. Not that she didn't want such a post, but she couldn't wish for what she wouldn't have.Evans walked to the passenger door and opened it so Lora could get into the car, completely oblivious to the matter. And also completely oblivious to the fact that the man was trying to keep his distance from her only because his proximity was intoxicating, addictive, alarming.- "Yes, probably" he replied as he walked to the other side of the car.Lora wasn't exactly comfortable with the closeness and intimacy between Evans and Lana, but she didn't have the right to protest about something that didn't concern her.- "I'll call you later" Lana commu

At first, the car made a slow turn. The speed did not reach one hundred kilometers per hour. The pilot was just getting to know the power of the engine, letting his experience take care of the moment.On the second lap, his foot weighed on the pedal. Every second the sports car got faster, finishing the curves in record time. Evans was focused but also relaxed. That was the only time he could turn off all his senses and worry only about crossing the finish line.When he passed the pit stop, the booming and powerful noise was even more explicit. Steady, steady accelerating made the tires resonate with friction on the asphalt.Fascinated by Evans' headstrong way of driving, Lora couldn't contain the urge to get up. The woman was too agitated to watch from afar. And as she walked forward, she heard the taps of Lana's heels. The blonde was leaving the racetrack pavilion and entering the safe side of the track.- "Lora" she called. The sound was muffled by the car's engine growling in acce
