“I don't think it's true that this swindler has something with such a beautiful woman; he must have tricked her or threatened her.” An old man grunted, shaking a cane.“She must be a prepaid model, or she's blind to getting involved with this hustler who's now coming to harm my wedding.” The groom took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves, getting ready to fight.“Stop, you're wrong; we're just friends. We have known Erik for a long time, and it was very strange for us to receive an invitation from his ungrateful family. Erik has been on the verge of death several times, and no one has deigned to visit him. Even the last time, it was up to me to pay the bill, since they took away the little they gave him when he graduated from psychology.” Ximena argued indignantly, let go, and started shaking her hands.“I was right; he has them fooled; they are other victims of this climber.” Grandfather threw the cane at her and almost hit her in the forehead, but Emily“If he is a lucky whippe
“How is it possible? I gave you up for dead; I mourned you in silence.” Ximena approached to pick it up; she detailed it to check if it was indeed her ex-husband or if it could be someone similar.“Of course it's me. I didn't want you to see me; I wanted to leave you alone. I feel that my presence has hurt you. Please forgive me; besides, I still haven't been able to settle my criminal matters, and that's why I also put you in danger.” Angelo explained, looking at the huge statue of Jesus on the cross.“It is unfair, even if you should have called me or something. I suffered when I considered that I had lost myself and that my children had been left fatherless. You are insensitive. You don't consider all my suffering.” Ximena began to scream. She forgot that she was at someone else's wedding and that she was ruining it with another scandal. Her sister and Diego approached her, taking her by the arms to try to calm her down.“I sent you a letter with my lawyer; according to him, I left
“In a way, all of us here are linked to the mafia, directly and indirectly. The truth is that I launder money with my modeling agency, which allows me to pay them very well, so they can study and prosper.” Diego explained, raising his eyebrows.“You see, this gentleman and the one who left are as mafiosi as I am.” Angelo tried to grab her, but she dodged him, taking a step backward.“That's not true; anyway, you are the boss and a murderer.” Ximena wanted to touch him, so she calmed herself by biting her tongue.“Love, I didn't choose to be one of the bosses; I am because I inherited it; that's why, and I have only killed people who deserve it, never innocents.” Angelo calmed down and put the gun away.“Don't call me love; tell that to your girlfriend. Besides, you murdered my parents.” Ximena screamed at him with hate, and inside she wanted to kiss him.“That's another point; when that happened, I was a kid playing soccer at school. The one who had to see it was my grandfather; howev
“I'm serious; you can't expect everything to go back to the way it was before, as if by magic, because of that magic wand that's watching me.” Ximena stood still; a part of her wanted to move towards him, and another part wanted to run away, to tear the walls apart with her nails and run without destination, until the ocean stopped her.“Baby, calm down; you're too tense; you weren't like that your first time. Let's do something we have already done many times; remember how much fun we had.” Angelo tried to kiss her, but she turned her head away.“No, Angelo, I don't want you to touch me. Don't you dare do it; it's enough that you keep me locked up against my will.” Ximena pushed him away with both hands, feeling his chest.“Ximena, I know what you want; don't hold back; I know you very well.” Angelo came closer again, speaking in her ear.“Do you intend to do that? I also forgot that you were with that lady; is she your girlfriend or your wife?” Ximena also remembered the time she wa
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, so cute, my Angelo.” Ximena mentioned it as she passed by the guard's booth. In the brand new sports car that he used to go to important parties where he didn't need escorts, the watchman let him pass.Ximena was wearing the silk shirt of her beloved, or abandoned, and she was thrilled with that car, which demanded more speed. Without skimping on fuel, she sank the accelerator. The car bent down to lessen the wind resistance. He promised that when he returned to Colombia, he would buy one of these, no matter if he had to import it.In the meantime, at Angelo's castle, he went to the guard's room; it should be noted that first he bathed and dressed. The guards were frightened to see him.“I don't understand how they let her escape. Apparently, I'm throwing away their paychecks.” Angelo scolded the pair of watchmen, who were a bit fat because they were sitting around watching the cameras.“Sir, your wife had your keys; she mentioned she was just on her way to pick somet
“Relax; you're safe now.” Angelo hugged her, putting his head under hers. “We're going to get you out of here; this ground is very unstable; please stay still.”The men formed a human chain, holding on to the railings of the road. They were able to pull her out safe and sound.“Love, you shouldn't have escaped; this road is very dangerous; the thick fog makes everything worse, added to the fact that almost no people pass through here.” Angelo lifted her up and put her in a car. “Besides, your sister is on her way here with our babies.”“He is outside; there is an old man who helped me. Please, I promised to help him. Can you lend me a few dollars to give him as a thank you for saving me?” Ximena wiped her tears to beg for this.“My love, we didn't see anyone in the forest or on the road; no one lives here.” Angelo spoke strangely.“He told me he was hunting and that he lived in a house behind the castle.” Ximena shook her head up and down repeatedly.“The only old man who lived in a c
“Hello, sister. How are you?”“Normal, like a bride who is getting married for the third time.”“Yes, Ximena, you know that the third time is the charm. Ha, ha, ha, ha.”“Emily, you already know the plan; that makes me very nervous.” Ximena spoke to her, looking around slyly.“It's okay; we'll decorate everything with jasmine flowers, just the way you like it. I wanted to tell you, but it's hard to see you; you're locked up for your bachelorette party. I don't understand why you're getting married if you're already eating your lunch box before recess.” Emily felt like a babysitter was watching them.“It's been an exhausting day. He keeps saying it's to make up for the time. I do it to keep him happy, relaxed, and trusting me.” Ximena tried to whisper to him to avoid information leaks.“What a horrible sacrifice! How do I think of you?” Emily expressed her sarcasm to the fullest.“Don't doubt it. Sometimes it's hard for me to walk; I feel like I'm hurting all over. He is an unsatiable
He lay crying on the floor, he did not believe this would happen to him. The feeling of helplessness shook him, and he hit the floor, staining it with his blood. Ximena didn't even see him; she concentrated on the exhaust.The motorcycle accelerated along the highways towards the airport.“What? … Okay … All right.” Diego braked the motorcycle to tell his co-pilot something. “Linda, apparently, they closed the airport; never mind this; we had already foreseen it; we should go to plan B. We hired a yacht in case this happened.”The motorcycle turned and changed course. In a few minutes, they arrived at an old dock, where, on top of a small boat, her sister Emily greeted her with her two children in a double stroller.“Hurry up; we have to leave immediately.” Emily's boyfriend loomed over the bow, waving as if swatting flies.They were put in a small compartment, where it was very difficult to keep the children quiet. Darkness reigned for hours, and they grew tired of sleeping. At one p
