"It's impossible," my voice failed me. "You have to understand that, just like Harry, you have hurt me. You have taught me that life is a mess, but life goes on, and we learn from our experiences. Where do I start? Should I talk about him or about Harry? Yes, because he's already informed me about my whole life. It's obvious that Rosalía has informed him of everything. Is she loyal to him or in love with him? Oh no, if she's in love with Alexis, it means she's lying to Harper." "You have to give him a chance to tell you what happened." "Alexis, you have to understand that I'm pregnant now, and I have to protect myself and this little one too! I'm letting my emotions get the best of me, and my tears flow like an open tap or a river rushing downstream." "You're not alone," he whispers in my ear. "You have many people who would give their lives for yours. Please don't shut yourself off." "It's not easy. It's too much." "You can do it. My life isn't the same without you. I had to re
"I knew he was going to bring that up, but I really want to confront him about everything, including the fact that he's not my friend, not like I thought. I always thought he was doing good for the world, but now I see it's the opposite because he was actually hurting me and the people who care about me. Suddenly, Alexis asks me to go ahead while he heads toward the exit. Brrr... It's so cold, I rub my hands together to generate some warmth. I hope Alexis comes out of the cafeteria soon, in the meantime, I plan on heading back to my apartment. A few minutes later, he comes out of the cafeteria, and we head towards the spot where we had met, where he had parked his Bugatti. Without realizing it, I find myself clinging to Alexis, feeling scared as we walk through the deserted streets and dark alleys. I won't deny that I'm a scaredy-cat. "I'm glad I found you and that you didn't kill me," he says, putting his arm around my shoulder, and I stealthily put my arm around his waist. Uninte
+ Uff... I am so exhausted. Ahh... I made it! Now all I want is to rest and wait for my body to cool down. "Alexandra..." I am shocked to feel a hand on my shoulder. "Don't do anything to me," I plead, turning to look around, and the darn security guard doesn't show his head. God, I'm only a few minutes away. "Calm down," he whispers, "how do you think I'm going to kill you?" "Oh, my goodness," I exhale. I place my hand on my chest from the huge scare he just gave me. "Dylan, that's not funny." "I missed you," he whispers. He intertwines his arms around my waist and his chin sticks to my neck, "I'm sorry, but I didn't think you'd come back, I was already getting used to the idea." "I swear, if I had a heart attack," I evade, I missed you too!, "I'll haunt you at night until you pay for my death." "Tell me, did you decide to stay?" "How long have you been here?" I speak with a worried tone. I want to go inside because I'm dying of thirst, I want water, I even feel like my leg
My desperation has not let me sleep. I have hired dozens of detectives, but they haven't given me any information about her. The only person who can tell me is Harper, but the son of a bitch has stayed quiet. He tells me that there are many complex things, and he doesn't want to be the one who causes chaos. "I'll tell you the truth," I turn around and Harper's girlfriend appears before us. "He doesn't want to tell you..." "No, don't say anything, woman, he..." "Shut up, you bastard, you miserable person. I'm about to forget that you were ever my friend," I shout with fervor. I am blinded by anger and desperation. "She left because your mother left her on the street, and also because your wife is stubborn and didn't want to be helped by Harper." "I don't understand. Be clear and talk about my mother first, then the rest," I shake my head. "Your mother didn't approach her, but she prohibited the company from paying the employees' salaries, the pantry, and the maintenance of the es
+ What did I do? Why did I trust my mother? I let her go, and the worst part is she's not with her aunt. She's disappeared without a trace. I didn't waste any time and went straight to the apartment where Alexandra was staying with her aunt. The problem is, I didn't expect her to vanish without a trace, without even wanting to come back. She said she's afraid to know the truth! A few minutes ago, I was going crazy searching through her things, but unfortunately, I found nothing. So I decided to go out and search for her with Harper and her aunt. I'm trying to follow her aunt's advice, but I can't. I feel helpless. Why did she leave? "No...shit... Harper just told me that Alexandra just took a flight," I stop abruptly and start hitting the steering wheel of the car like a madman. "This can't be happening. Maybe we'll find something where she used to work." These are not good news. If she took a plane, it means she's out of my radar. But if she's not on that plane, it means she's ne
+ I shrug my shoulders and downplay whatever that woman wants to do to my mother, she brought it upon herself, and now she must face the consequences. The hatred from Alexandra is already enough. "You can tell that woman that, but right now all I want to hear are her screams," I say. "This isn't you, Harry," my friend approaches me and puts his hand on my arm. "Come on, you need to take a shower." "No... I told you no!" "Stop acting like an idiot, Harry, and go back to being yourself, so we can find Alexandra." "Haha, you can tell that to that woman because she's the one who made my life a mess." Harper doesn't let go of my arm and tells me that he can find her, but he won't help if I don't go back to my old self, since he doesn't want a drunk man who won't solve anything. "All Harper did was support her, but she..." I don't take my eyes off my friend as I hear his girlfriend's words. "She is brave, and we can find her." "Rosalía is right, and that's why you need to come with
+It's been a month and I still haven't heard anything from Alexandra. The urge to find out on my own increased, but I promised to let time pass. Mmm... for now I'll let the investigators take care of it, I have a few things to do, like getting back to work at the company. I can't neglect my work, and I certainly can't give that woman the satisfaction. My father wants to talk to me about intervening for my mother, but the truth is I haven't felt like doing it. I'm furious with him, and I don't care what he does with my mother. I've had enough of the consequences of his actions. I haven't heard anything from my mother, but I can deduce that she must be on that trip, "vacation" according to her. My father must know, but I'm not interested in finding her. Once again, I find myself alone in my house, like the same dog from before, and I'm not complaining because I'm used to it. It's just that I miss hearing Alexandra's scream; the one that wakes you up, makes you laugh, and drives you
+ +ALEXANDRA+ "I want to forget for a moment the cowardice I have committed, weeks have passed, and I feel like it all happened yesterday. Once again, I console myself, the day I thought I would face everything was the day I had a panic attack, and that led Dylan to suggest that I distance myself from what I feared, 'the truth'. I accepted, like a crazy person, I said yes, although I didn't know if I was doing right or wrong, I just had to escape the fear of that man rejecting me. [Flashback] "Can I borrow your phone?" I whispered, "Mine is completely dead, I need to talk to my aunt, I have to say goodbye." "Yes, but if she doesn't get in this instant, then you will regret it, my sister is traveling with her husband, or she may go alone, I'm sorry, but I talked to her about you yesterday, please, I offer you the opportunity to travel with us," I nodded and without waiting any longer, I opened the car door, got in, and settled in the back seat of the car. "Lend me the phone," I
+ "Don't even think I'll let you be with that bastard," I advanced until I was just a few centimeters from her, pushing her against the door as she tried to leave. I held her face in my hands and pinned her body with my weight. I brought my nose to her soft hair, inhaling deeply, as rage and desire combined into an intoxicating and explosive cocktail. Without thinking, I captured her lips with mine and our teeth clashed, but I managed to deepen the kiss. Mentally, I screamed in triumph as I felt her arms entwine in my hair. She growled against my mouth, allowing me to delve deeper. She let go and entwined her tongue with mine. I loved it. Her voracity was unexpected. Desire set my body on fire like wildfire. It was strange, I felt that I desired her and she desired me. With a burst of dominance, I grunted and held her by the throat with one hand while we kissed. With the hand that was free, I traveled down her body, discovering her curves; her breasts, her waist, her ass. Feeling
+ +HARRY+ Opening my eyes, a huge smile takes over my face as I feel the satisfaction of seeing her sleeping like the angel she is. Being close to her body gives me the opportunity to get closer to her, taking the form of a spoon. We have stayed on the couch. A deep sigh comes out of me, it's been a long time since I felt something like this, she has given herself to me without restrictions. Our bodies surrendered to each other and, thirsty for desire, we satisfied ourselves with pleasure. Control was everything for both of us, it had been that way for a long time. An ironic smile appeared on my lips when I supposed that our relationship was only going to be a temporary intimacy or would lead to the resignation of our marriage, but everything did not turn out as we had planned, no, now she belongs to me, she is my wife, and she will not stop being so. I am torn between fury and my other passive self, I do not want to continue seeing how she plays with our marriage... I have to b
I want to escape, Harper has left us alone once again, promising that no one will interrupt us this time. "This is my fucking life, Harry. Stop interfering," my voice breaks, and I feel myself becoming emotional. "That's why I'm asking you to let me go. We can finish this conversation another time." I fall silent as I see him approaching me, stopping for a fraction of a second so that our bodies and breath are close to each other. "Have you stopped loving me?" he asks softly, and I close my mouth and shake my head. "Well, I knew it," he says as he inhales deeply near my neck. Nervously, I moisten my lips, and a moan escapes me involuntarily. "You'll never get from him what I could give you." He cups my face in his hands, forcing me to look up at him, and we share a moment of eye contact. "Stop being presumptuous," I murmur, and he lowers his hands to my waist, lifting me up to kiss me. He presses his warm lips against mine, and I hold onto him tightly when I feel his tongue enter
But no, I can't continue, I have to finally realize that Emmanuel is my life now. Shit, all of this is causing me to falter, to crumble, and not think things through. "Come here," his voice is low, and his mysterious gaze drives me crazy. I don't waste any time and slowly approach him. "On your knees," I steady my breathing. No, I have to stand firm, I can't fall because that would be a betrayal. "No, this would be..." "I would never treat you like a whore, and I don't even think that way." I have to resist, but a part of me wants to comply. My other self would kneel before him, and run my hands down the front of his hips without breaking our gaze. Watching as this man masturbates in front of me. No...! I can't be thinking about it, I can't do it. My other self betrays me, imagining what I could do if I fall before him. I see myself opening my mouth, and parting my lips, while at the same time bringing my hands to the back of his legs to grip his thighs. Ah, I melt at the
+ALEXANDRA+ I'm feeling kind of regretful because things aren't going as planned. Harry isn't taking things well, the conversation has gone off in another direction, and I don't feel comfortable talking about my personal life, especially after hearing how he blatantly denies his relationship with the woman his mother has always wanted him to be with. Dylan showed me some pictures, and now I feel like I've been living a lie! I'm so stupid for coming to him without considering the consequences. What's wrong with me? I didn't waste any time telling him that he's the father of two wonderful little ones. It's not a lie, but obviously, he's not going to take it well, thinking that I took away months of his time with his children. These past few years have been full of ups and downs for me. The changes were tremendously radical, simply because I had two babies forming inside me. It wasn't just one, as the damn ultrasound showed. In the end, it was two. A lot of things went through my min
No, this seems like a blessed movie or a dramatic novel! "This is a fucking joke, this cheap speech, nobody believes it, you're hearing yourself right," I burst out laughing after hearing a lot of shit from her. "You're talking about how I'm the guilty one and that it's better for you to be away with someone else than with me." "Your reaction is normal, but that's how things are. It was difficult for me to understand, but the truth is that everything was true. We let ourselves be carried away by what we felt, all without considering the consequences of our actions," she looks away after taking a deep breath. "I'll step aside, it's not like I'm taking something away from you that you never had," she crosses her legs after leaning back on the couch. "I'm sorry, I'm introducing myself now because I had to fulfill what I promised, two years without hearing from you." I can see that smile that is hard to appreciate with her lost gaze. I am petrified as I process everything she is saying
+ +HARRY+ Time has passed slowly for some, but quickly for others... I have been waiting for the woman who pierced my heart to the core to appear, but I have stopped searching for her again and asking about her because things have taken another direction. I have clung to work like never before, I can't handle myself, she has left me. These past two years have been eternal for me, thinking about her, what has become of her? What is she doing? Who is she with? Has she married? Many questions go through my mind day and night, overwhelming and torturing me at the same time. It's unfair what she has done, she has taken away my right to be with my son, it's not just abandonment, no, it's all about her cruelty, taking away my right to know and be with my son. I have tried to forget her and make this pain go away as quickly as possible. It's clear to me that women don't fulfill me, none of them can compare to Alexandra, and I'm definitely tired of that, it's better to stop before I go cra
+ Waking up abruptly, I rub my eyes and glance around. Memories flood back, and I start to comprehend where I am, standing still and processing everything. Oh God, I'm wearing gray silk shorts and a matching silk tank top. He took my clothes off! He saw me naked! Damn, pervert! I'll kill him if he violated me. My phone! What time is it? I swing off the bed and see a pair of low sandals underneath it, I put them on without hesitation. Where is my clothes? I search with my GPS eyes. I look for my wallet. Shit! I left it in the car. I start to panic and try to think of how I'll get out of this house. How will I leave if I don't know where I am? You'll pay for this, you possessive man, I don't give a shit that you're a sexy man and my friend at the same time. Without thinking any further, I decide to leave the room and get lost in this unknown place, although I won't deny that it's magical and cozy. I stealthily walk out like a cautious thief, to my surprise, the entire place is desert
Dylan took my hand and pulled me out of the office. I tried to break free from him, but the more I struggled, the tighter he squeezed my hand. I could tell he was furious, and his anger was palpable. Control! I had to control myself because if I didn't, I would lose my head along with him. I couldn't stand a man controlling me, let alone one who was so possessive. We quickly left the house. "You're too manipulative," I said. I'm sure his sister will wonder where I went. What will I tell her? It's all so unfair, I try to stay away from sin and temptation, but they keep pulling me back in. I complain of pain, but it doesn't stop him. I want to scream, but it would be stupid to do so. "It's time to go," he exclaimed authoritatively. "Wait..." Oh my God! It's his sister... I try to let go of Dylan's hand, but the idiot won't let me. I feel like I'm going to faint, I'm begging the universe to swallow me up or take me away. "Do you need anything, sister?" he spoke dryly. "Where are y
