Eight o'clock in the morning...The sound of the apartment door woke him from the deep sleep he was in. He opened his eyes as he laid his head on that warm skin, shivered as he felt the warmth of that body, and closed his eyes again." How nice! ....” An annoying voice forced him to open his eyes again: "Very nice!"" Eh?... How?...” Everything was a bit blurry, his head hurt, he put his hands to his eyes and rubbed his eyelids, he looked at the pair of long legs in front of him: Na... Na... Namie!He sat down immediately, in front of him was the blonde smiling at him, she took a seat across from him and crossed her legs as she watched them ." What do you think you are doing..." He asked her with astonishm ent when he saw her calm attitude." What do you think, idiot, I'm getting comfortable," he replied, leaning back against the back of the seat, "Don't you feel cold?Yukio looked down at himself to find that he had nothing on except for his boxer shorts. Namie picked up a shirt fro
Hours later..." Yukio Is something wrong?" Nothing special! “ Around him several cups of coffee and several crumpled sheets of paper." It's just that you've been acting strange lately, as if you were absent..." Absent, please?" His icy face remained unchanged, his gaze fixed on his computer s creen." Like your body is here, but your mind is som ewhere else," the red “haired man leaned back against his big armchair, "Does it have som ething to do with Jina and Tsuchiya?" I don't know what the hell you're talking about!... What would they have t o do with it?" What do you m ean?... It always has som ething to do!... You've changed since the arrival of that woman..." Don't you think it's not enough to have to put up with her all the time? He finally looked away from his computer and looked directly at his friend's face: "She even sneaks into the apartment whenever she wants!... That idiotSotomayor gave her a copy of the keys! And they even work together!... She won't stop bother
And in the hospital....While the doctor finished checking Tanarro, Sotomayor walked back and forth through the hospital corridor, looking at every health promotional poster and observing the faces of the doctors and nurses on duty, she walked without any hurry, with her hands in her pockets, her hat gave her an air of mystery. She observed the nurse leaving the doctor's office and approached her." Ah, but it's you!... Are you here to take care of your boyfriend? It was the sam e nurse who treated Yukio a month ago."" It was nothing serious," explained the doctor, "You only have a slight hematom a near your right eye caused by a blow, regarding your loss of consciousness, you can rest assured, there is no cranial compromise or affection of your nervous system... I will give you the prescription for the medications..."Eight o'clock in the morning...The two walked side by side without saying a word to each other, finally leaving the hospital, the Korean woman remained serious and im
This was the furthest he could have gone, yet he didn't regret it. He was convinced that the situation couldn't be worse. He observed the twenty-year-old young girl sleeping deeply beside him in the darkness of the immense room. Her arms surrounded him, so he moved carefully to avoid waking her.He got out of bed, his skin bathed in the moonlight, appeared radiant and beautiful. He glanced sideways at the angel with tousled hair who continued to rest, her body wrapped in the sheets.He closed his eyes, feeling somewhat disgusted and wondered, "How had he fallen so low?" But still, he didn't regret it. He walked silently toward the bathroom, and once there, he leaned against the door. The screen of his cellphone illuminated for a few seconds, and without haste, he checked the device."New message received.Total messages: 10Read Dismiss""Hello..." he whispered in response. "I don't know, I'm locked in the bathroom. She's still sleeping. I warn you, this is the hardest t
"I know how important Mr. Tanarro was in your life," she said, placing her hand on the shoulder of that woman dressed in a black leather jacket, trembling with disgust as she continued her performance. "Let me assure you that nothing is going to change, and the family's charities for the underprivileged youth will continue. We understand your pain; Tanarro has left a great void in our hearts."Everyone murmured in favor of the woman, thinking that perhaps this individual was an unprotected orphan saved by the family's donations. Her gesture of solidarity made the audience appreciate her virtues. Obviously, that was the effect she was hoping for to win their favor. She would have time later to find out who that person was and why she was there."Let go of me, crazy old woman!" replied the motorcyclist, taking off her helmet. "Understand my pain?! Who are you to understand my pain?" She walked confidently toward the casket where the deceased's body lay, took a look, and knelt down, cry
Four months ago...The Tanarro family fixed their gaze on the newly arrived girl, the same disheveled motorcyclist who showed up unceremoniously at Kai's funeral.She raised her hand to greet them informally; she could barely muster a "hello" that was quickly ignored by the attendees who turned their attention back to the lawyer. Aya Tanarro spoke up, interrupting the prolonged silence."Sir Hidalgo, could you explain to us what this person is doing here?" She furrowed her brow, demanding an answer from the lawyer whom she detested. "But respond, say something!""Well, Kai's last wish was for the entire family to be present..." He swallowed, unaccustomed to dealing with this harassing woman. He opened his briefcase and took out a folder, which he slowly opened, adjusted his glasses, and proceeded to read."My dear family, consumed by this incurable illness, I must inform you that I, Tanarro Kai, in full possession of my mental and physical faculties, of my own free will and responsibi
They looked at him puzzled. Yukio took off his glasses just to make sure with his own eyes that it was true. Yuselso took another cigarette, brought it to his lips, and lit it without any hurry. Mrs. Tanarro looked at him in awe, placed a hand on her chest, and sighed. It seemed that everything had ended favorably for the Tanarro's interests."Jina, I know this news hasn't been easy for you, especially considering that you have traveled hundreds of kilometers to come here and discover this truth. However, you cannot renounce what has been inherited," the lawyer smiled at her, trying to reassure her, and continued reading the additional clause imposed by Kai."I know very well that it has always been the desire of my ancestors that a person from the Tanarro lineage inherit the fortune that we have amassed for centuries. However, if Jina Sotomayor voluntarily decides not to accept the inheritance, it should be fully distributed to charitable institutions."Mrs. Tanarro immediately under
Four months later... He was driving his car at high speed, wondering why he had done all that; he didn't need it. He had his own businesses, his own assets earned with his own efforts, but he knew that didn't compare to the fortune his cousin had left in the hands of that girl. He smiled as he pressed his foot on the accelerator. He took the main road, not wanting to go back home. He didn't want to see Tori, didn't want to look her in the face, especially after sharing intimacy with another girl... No, he was sure she would forgive him for everything except that. Just remembering what had just happened made his skin crawl. He needed a shower, maybe a couple of drinks, or possibly to get into another woman's bed, something to rid himself of the strange sensation on his skin when he recalled the girl's caresses and kisses. He stopped in front of the entrance gate of a luxurious building. He searched his pocket for his cell phone. His cold and calculating face twisted in anger. The id

And that night at the party...He appeared dressed in an elegant black tuxedo, his white shirt illuminated his handsom e face and attracted the attention of all the partygoers." What did I miss?" He approached Ankit." Nothing extraordinary...” They took a glass and took a sip “ There are a lot of people tonight, even the ladies from the social foundation came." It's a great gala, every year the same thing happens, except the year before, Jina sent a statement canceling the celebration due to Kai's passing," he murmured as the y walked back and forth with the cup in hand, waving to the people who came to greet them ." By the way, I just saw your mother and brother!" They were not going to miss the gala party, you know that the family always attends these celebrations," he observed his mother walking towards him, "And speaking of the king of Rome...." Ankit, how nice to see you," she greeted him with a smile. Yukio, you look so handsom e my son," he smiled at him as he greeted the
Another night in front of his laptop chatting with that stranger who is getting closer and closer to him, he leaned back against the bed thinking a bit about that conversation. He turned off his computer while he thought a little:"And now, how do I explain to the wild cat "He put away his laptop and went back to bed, sank into the heavy sheets and tried to sleep, but h e could not. In his room the brown”haired man tried to sleep, but he couldn't, he kept thinking about the conversation he had just had with the Korean woman, he smiled to himself, he had learned to access the world of Sotom ayor's secrets through those short chats."So that's why you're avoiding me lately, because you feel I confuse you and then you're afraid of me."He got up in the early morning, the first thing he did before going for a jog, as he almost always did; was to go to the red”haired girl's room. She was sleeping comfortably with the blankets thrown on the floor and her arms stretched out on either side.
Tokyo, One year later..." It's a nice car... Thanks for the choice Yukio," she gave him a sidelong glance as they entered the parking lot." I just kept that stupid promise....Sotomayor hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek." Isn't that President Jina... Is she kissing Mr. Tanarro," asked one of the wom en inside another ca r in the parking lot." It's true... Do they have a relationship? “ His companion also recognized them “ That explains why they have been arriving together lately... They are lovers!" What a waste," the woman said enviously, " Two such attractive people in such a plan...." But what a little secret between the two of them... I still can't believe it!... Wasn't Mr. Tanarro going to get married?" I guess that's why he didn't get married, I bet his girlfriend found out everythin g and that's why she left him at the altar," he continued looking at what was going on inside Miss Jina's car without missing a single detail." Stop hugging me!... What will happen
Nantes, France, the previous year..."I'm fed up! I have soft skin, in my bubble bath, I splash around, and I laugh!" Eugene-Chan sang, swaying his hips sensually beside the small Volkswagen they used to drive around in. It was obvious he was drunk.Sotomayor just watched him from the sidewalk. They had been in that small village near the city of Nantes for about three days. She looked around at the small colonial-style houses and felt like she was part of one of those medieval paintings.Soon, the rain began to fall. Sotomayor ran toward where the writer was, but Eugene-Chan simply opened his arms and lifted his head to the sky."Rain, rain, drench my body! Sotomayor, come get wet with me!" He grabbed her hands and forced her to dance with him in the rain while he continued singing, "My fish moves in my bubble bath, I wrap it up, I say to it!"It was one of those “short” trips the writer often took. One day, without warning, he appeared in front of Sotomayor and said:"We’re leaving!
Three days later...The evening illuminated the apartment's large windows with an orange hue. Yukio and Sotomayor remained seated, each at one end of the sofa in front of the television."And in world news, a fierce battle unfolded today in the Gaza Strip near..."The sound of the doorbell made both of them look at each other. Yukio stood up, smiling, and went to open the door."Where do we install it?" asked the man in a blue overall."I don't know... Sotomayor, come here."The Korean approached the door and looked at Yukio and the blue-clad men carrying a huge package."What is that?" she pointed at the package with curiosity."It's a gift, for you from me," replied Yukio, stepping away from the door and returning to the television."Huh?..." The black-haired woman walked toward the package and opened it. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!""Why, don't you like it?" the brunette looked at her from the comfort of his seat. "I thought it would look fantastic in your room... It's a more intimate
The brown-haired man stood up and walked towards the door, descended again to the gallery room, and stopped in front of the large portrait. He looked at it with nostalgia."I forgot that Tori used to paint... This is the painting everyone talks about, the one you posed for her... Sotomayor, how could you pose naked for her!..." While observing the painting, he imagined that woman who was once his flirting with the Korean. He imagined Sotomayor appearing before his eyes wrapped in that white robe:"I want you to paint me wearing just this!" She takes off the white robe and lies naked on the couch."Just that?" The shameless Tori asks, preparing her charcoals to portray that woman."Just this..." She adjusted her body delicately. "I'm tired of paintings where I look like a doll; I want a real one... And as a paying customer, I expect to be satisfied." She handed the girl a few coins."Alright, put your hand on your face... Like that, very well... Relax your body and don't move..." She i
