Anna stood up and straightened her skirt. “I'm going to shower and change. I need to rest from the trip.” “Your room is the same. Nothing has been touched. I just had it cleaned and your old clothes washed. You might want to wear something more suitable for the climate here.” “Thanks, Kate.” Anna said, and headed for the stairs, remembering every detail of that house. It was still as she remembered it. And she also remembered the way she had come down that staircase the last time she had been there. She climbed up with her chin held high, and went to her old room. As Kate had said, it was just as she had left it. Her clothes were clean and fresh-smelling, and just the way she liked them. She decided she would wear shorts and a shirt and went into the shower. ... Caricatura entered the room as soon as Anna had left, poured herself a brandy and filled Kate's glass again. “So... Who is the man you love?” Kate stared at him, unsurprised. She remembered too late that he was
Anna, oblivious to what was going on in Kate's room, went from room to room, until she found Adam and Ian in a room with lots of guns hanging up, as if it were a Hoploteca. Anna crossed her arms and hissed to make them aware of her presence. Ian looked at her and then at Adam, with a guilty look on his face, and Adam looked at her with a longing, carefree look, when he saw that she looked exactly as she did at sixteen. He felt his love inflate his chest. He regretted the resources he had to use to get her to come home with him, but he didn't know how to detach himself from that love. She was an addiction he liked to have. He still craved her, as if he had never touched that body. However, while his feelings towards Anna didn't change, Adam discovered that he loved Bonnie too. Not in the way that you love a woman and want to have children with her. But in the way that he delighted in her presence. He still didn't know if Anna would demand that she leave, but if she wanted to, he
Maxwell arrived at the gate of the mansion, and very annoyed, he had to let his car be subjected to a meticulous search. “Sorry, sir.” One of the men from the house guard, who were manning the entrance, came to inform him of what had happened. “We don't suspect you. But Mr. Henry told us to check every car that tries to enter here for anyone who might have hidden without your consent. You'll also notice that more cameras have been placed everywhere around the property, and they have motion sensors. There's no way anything can get through without us keeping an eye on it.” Maxwell pressed his lips together in a thin line. His brother's joke showed how unprotected his children were. “That's how it should be. I have nothing to apologize for. I have you to thank for protecting my family while I was away.” Maxwell replied. “Mr. Henry left us instructions in case you wished to leave with your family. He left everything planned out so that if there is still someone alive spying
Camille stared at him with wide, surprised eyes and remained silent for a while. It was obvious that she was attracted to him. Just like all the other employees in the house. Whenever he appeared, they looked at each other in admiration of his beauty. Determined, she turned and walked to the door, locking it. Then she returned to Maxwell. “I'm ready, sir.” Maxwell wasn't surprised, but his eyes darkened. “You know you don't have to do this, right? I won't fire you if you refuse.” Maxwell wanted her not to feel forced to do something she didn't want to do. He also felt he should give her the chance to say no and walk away. “I want to... But there's something I think you should know...” “Tell me.” Maxwell couldn't help the impatient tone in his voice. “I'm still a virgin.” Maxwell was surprised this time. He'd thought she'd tell him there was a price, but he hadn't expected that. “How old are you?” “Eighteen years old, sir.” “Did you start working with us
Maxwell was exhausted. As soon as Camille lay down and closed her eyes, sweat dripping down her body, he smiled with satisfaction and turned to go to the bathroom. But he froze. Suddenly, Maxwell felt his world collapse, and it was as if he had lost something he had earned with a lot of dedication and love. He felt that he had broken something that could no longer be repaired. Standing in front of him, sucking her thumb, and with the other hand holding a large teddy bear, which was dragging on the floor, while thick tears fell down her face, was Tayme. Her eyes made her emotions transparent. She was feeling ruined. Camille realized something was wrong and sat up in bed to see why Maxwell was standing naked in the middle of the room. When she saw Tayme, her face burned. She tore the sheet off the bed and hid her nakedness. She had completely forgotten about the connecting door between Tayme's room and her parents'. “Tayme...” Maxwell started to say, but didn't know what to
“Tayme!” It was her father's voice through the communication door. She had seen it when he tried to open the one in the corridor, after several people had passed by and tried to persuade her to open the door. She didn't want to talk to her father anymore. She didn't want to live with him anymore, and she wasn't even willing to listen to his voice. She would ask her mother to send her to England, like one of her friends from nursery school, to study there until she was old enough to look after herself. “Tayme... Talk to me, please.” Maxwell's voice was choked. He had been calling her relentlessly for a long time. “Go away.” She decided to reply. “I love you, my princess.” “You said you loved Mom, too.” “I do. I didn't lie to her, and I'm not lying to you.” “Are you going to tell her what you did here?” “Do you think I should tell her? Do you think she'll be happy to know?” “She'll abandon you.” “And that's what you want for our family? Would your siblings li
Adam put his hands in his pants pockets to avoid reaching out and touching Anna's silky skin. “You look the same as I always remembered you. It's like you never left here.” He said with dark eyes. “And is that good, or bad?” “Very good. You're still beautiful. I always knew that you would preserve your beauty... And it will always be so. Even when you're old and using a cane, you'll still be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.” “You look the same to me too. You're still beautiful. I remember the first time I saw you, you had a beard. Very sparse and well groomed, and it was as if I was seeing Maxwell in front of me, and not you with your naked face.” She said smiling. “I stopped growing my beard for a very important reason.” He said with his eyes twinkling. “What reason was that?” “I didn't want to scratch your pussy when I put my lips on it.” Anna turned red and looked at Ian to see if he was listening. “Don't be indiscreet in the presence of my son, Adam.”
Adam looked at her surprised and confused. “What do you mean?” “She knew I was pregnant, and she didn't want me to have children to inherit my mother's blood. So she pushed me down the stairs.” “She pushed you? I thought it was an accident!” “It wasn't.” “Why didn't you tell me this before?” “Because I know you'd want to take the law into your own hands. And as you said earlier, revenge belongs to me. E... I had to reveal my pregnancy, and I was afraid of your reaction. Maybe you'd finish what Sarah started and kill my son. I didn't know what to think... Sarah took a lot from me. She took me away from my family and killed my mother. She pretended to be my friend, she stalked me in this house, with her insane jealousy of you and... I couldn't let you take that away from me. Sarah has always had an influence on your decisions and...” “And why didn't you tell me about the pregnancy before the accident?” Adam interrupted her, irritated. “I was determined to tell you the day
