"But... what nonsense is this?" Katia said, shaking her head and annoyed by her friend's insinuation. "Of course, I'm not in love with him.""How could I fall in love with someone like him? Seriously, Madeleine, you have some...""You seem jealous," Madeleine crossed her arms."Me? Jealous?" Katia clicked her tongue. "Please, Madeleine! I love Oscar, and I want to marry him. If I can convince him... we might have a child. I want to live a happy life with Oscar. He's the one I want to be with for the rest of my life.""Even though you're eager to see Oscar, I know you're afraid he won't come back, right?""Exactly," she said with narrowed eyes.The elevator stopped a few minutes later. Unbeknownst to them, they had reached the top floor, where Stefan's office was, and she knew all the CEOs from different delegations would be there.The two women stood near the elevator, while Madeleine continued to tease Katia about being jealous of Stefan's ex. As Stefan emerged from his office, talk

That night, after Madeleine and Joshua had retired to the guesthouse, Katia went up to her room, followed by Panda and Booby.The animals struggled to climb, but when she bent down to pick them up, hands beat her to it. Stefan and Katia stared at each other as they slowly straightened up.Meanwhile, Madeleine gazed at herself in the bathroom mirror, with her hands on her cheeks, and began to stretch her skin.She grew frustrated every time she looked in a mirror.Joshua stood behind his girlfriend and hugged her, placing his hands on the small belly that had appeared due to Madeleine's pregnancy.He gave her a small kiss on the shoulder."What argument did you have with Katia today? She seemed really upset," the dark-haired man asked."Why haven't you told her about what Oscar told you?" She inquired with her hands on her face."I didn't want to worry her more... Besides, it's not my place to tell her," Joshua replied. "Can you explain what the argument with Katia was about or not?""

The weeks passed quickly for the young woman with blue eyes, especially since she started having sex with her husband.As the night of the annual Schmidt Multinational Corporation party approached, she felt like she was going to die. She was dizzy and felt that if she moved, she would fall to the ground.It was the first Friday of the month, September 4th, and if she didn't hurry, she would be late for the company where the party was taking place.Madeleine had gone up to Katia's room to get dressed together.She got up from the bed, sighed, and walked to the bathroom. Once there, she tied her hair into a ponytail, which she secured at the nape of her neck, parted it on the side, and had a middle part.There were a few loose strands around her hair, giving her look a touch of casualness."Are you okay?" Madeleine asked, entering the bathroom and expressing concern when she saw Katia's pale face."Yes, I'm fine," Katia smiled at her friend. "We need to hurry or we'll be late."Madelein

"I'm sorry to say I won't leave until you answer me," he put his hands in his pants' pockets."Do as you please," she said before turning around and bending down to pick up her pets. She faced him when she stood back up. "How can you be like this? How can you ask me why I left the party without telling you when you and I don't have anything in common? When I say nothing, I mean we don't feel anything for each other.""Let me remind you that we are married, and as long as we are...""You don't rule over me!" she shouted, interrupting him. "I'm not one of those women who let themselves be bossed around by their husbands or the man they're with. And if I don't want to tell you why I left, I won't tell you," she said, annoyed."Damn it, Katia!" he shouted, hitting the wall with his fist forcefully. Katia looked at him a little frightened. "Something could have happened to you! What the hell were you thinking!? The streets of Munich are dangerous at night!""Nothing happened to me. It's no

Stefan stormed into his room and slammed the door shut.He couldn't understand how the conversation had ended that way; he had only gone to check on her. He had noticed that she seemed a bit off at the party, and he was concerned."Does she really think I'm a cancer in her life? Stefan, you can't feel anything for Katia. Your world is too dangerous for her..." he thought, ruffling his hair.He began to curse himself, uttering profanities along the way.Suddenly, he heard scratching at his room door. Surprised, he turned toward the door and opened it. Panda and Booby were there, agitated.He peered into the hallway and was surprised to see that Katia's room door was open.At that moment, his phone rang. He reached into the inner pocket of his jacket and was surprised to see it was Mark calling."What's going on?" he held the bridge of his nose with two fingers.His headache was starting to intensify."I don't know if you've noticed, but Mrs. Katia has left the house. What would you lik

On Saturday, October 3rd, the long-awaited wedding arrived.Madeleine had delayed the wedding by a week because she couldn't find her friend.Katia wasn't answering calls or responding on WhatsApp. This made Madeleine worried about her well-being, but she wasn't the only one trying to locate her.Stefan, upon hearing the situation, sent his men to find her, but they couldn't locate her.He was distressed, unable to sleep or eat, fearing that something terrible had happened.He blamed himself, became even more irritable than usual, and subsequently fell into a depression that kept him on edge and away from everyone....That afternoon, a crowd gathered at the entrance of the Church of San Gil, part of the city's group of churches. The wedding guests were dressed in elegant attire for the matrimonial celebration that was taking place at this venue.As per dress code protocol, the women wore long dresses, and the men were dressed in dark suits.Joshua stood at the Cathedral door, looking

"I'm so sorry, Katia, but it's the truth," Oscar told her after a while.She continued shaking her head."I refuse! I refuse to believe it! Oscar, you can't come after four months and tell me you're going to die," she demanded, wiping the back of her hand under her nose. "You promised that when you came back, we would get married. Are you not going to keep your promise?""Katia," he looked at her seriously. "I'm the first one who didn't want this to happen. I wanted to marry you, have children..." When he said that, Katia looked away. "I've tried to fight to get better, but I no longer have the strength," he held her hands tightly while looking into her eyes. "I want to be with you in these remaining months, which is why I'm here. The doctors gave me the opportunity to stay there until I die, but my heart wanted to see you, my mouth wanted to kiss you, and my arms needed to hold you so tight that you'd say, 'You're a pain, let me go already,' like you always do," he chuckled, but Kati

Without saying a word, Federika entered one of the bathroom stalls."I think I should tell her that I'm her sister...," Federika thought, locking the stall door.Her mind kept spinning about whether to tell Katia the truth, although she wasn't entirely sure if she was crying for him or not. In the end, she decided to reveal the truth once she left the bathroom and went to wash her hands."I don't know what I'm going to do" Katia suddenly said, without changing her position. "Oscar wants me to smile, but I can't do it, especially knowing he's going to die," the blue-eyed woman sobbed. "And not only that…""What do you mean, Katia?" Madeleine caressed her friend's head."I'm pregnant... one month pregnant," she confessed suddenly.Both Madeleine and Federika opened their eyes in surprise, each for a different reason.Madeleine didn't expect this news, knowing that Katia despised the German, or so she claimed, and Federika, because her brother would survive and still be the head of the f

"Madeleine, welcome to our family," she said to her son's wife and then walked away to sit next to her wife.Katia swallowed hard, butterflies in her stomach were fluttering with force.Stefan and Richard Jr. had positioned themselves on either side, forming an intimate circle with them just before the ceremony began."Katia, tell him before the ceremony starts," Madeleine urged her friend, whispering in her ear.There was anticipation, but also uncertainty pulsing in her words.Katia nodded, gripping Madeleine's arm in silent support. The Judge, an elderly man with a warm smile, was adjusting his papers at the front, getting ready to commence the ceremony.It was the right moment to share the news."What to say?" Stefan asked in a whisper, looking at Katia.Katia swallowed hard again before letting the words out."I'm pregnant, Stefan... and it's twins," she told him in a hushed voice, her eyes meeting Stefan's, filled with excitement and expectation.Stefan was left speechless, for

Hilbert helped his friend by taking his arm to help him stand, and then everyone congratulated the couple.At that moment, Madeleine and Katia decided to get married on the same day and... in Lourmarin.For each of them, that place held a different meaning, but they both agreed it was a beautiful location for a double wedding.Joanne and Stefanie Elein were overjoyed. Their parents were getting married, and they would become one united family. Richard, the father, looked at his eldest son and his youngest daughter, and seeing them happy, he was happy too.For some reason, he looked at the lawyer and smiled half-heartedly."I should start having more conversations with that man, as he's the one my daughter Elyse has chosen," he thought. He looked around the room, and taking advantage of his wife's proximity to their children, he approached Hilbert and said,"I think I'll need a lawyer to help me with my will. Can I count on you?""Of course, sir," Hilbert replied, somewhat surprised, a

A group of men gathered behind the young brunette, but the leader of the group took Katia as a hostage, pointing a gun at her. Müller, despite having something against Stefan, had nothing against the woman who looked at him with fear, feeling the gun against her temple. Katia began to silently cry, looking at the inspector for help.The police were in a dilemma. They couldn't shoot without harming Katia. Both the gang and the law enforcement group had their weapons aimed at each other, with the young brunette caught in the middle."Stefan... help me..." Katia silently wished, her eyes closed as tears streamed down her cheeks.She was so focused on seeking help from the man she loved that she didn't realize someone was speaking behind her. Suddenly, she felt the man shifting, and as she turned around, she was surprised and relieved to see Mark.The man nodded for her to run towards the group of men behind those traffickers. The other Richter family's hitmen surrounded Katia to "hide"

Once they had landed at Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport, Stefan's chauffeur Frederick picked them up to drive them to the brown man's house, but Katia refused.She wanted to go straight to the hospital to see Stefan.After arriving at the private hospital, they went to the room where Stefan was resting. When they opened the door they found Federica sitting next to him and Jürgen, who was leaning against the wall. The dark-haired man looked at him in surprise, as he didn't know how the woman had found out. Katia walked over to the bed and stood next to her ex-husband. She caressed his face, holding back her tears, and kissed him.Federica approached her husband and smiled at him after hugging him. Hilbert began to ask what had really happened and Jürgen told him. Katia listened to them sitting on the edge of the bed.Suddenly the door opened, ushering in the police, but the one who caught everyone's attention was a tall, slender man, although at first glance it could be seen that

The sound of the cell phone she had in her left hand since she sat down to eat made her snap out of her world, fixed on a single point.She didn't have the number saved, but upon seeing the number it began with, she knew it wasn't from there."Hello?" Katia answered and took a sip of champagne."Katia, it 's Federica. Happy New Year," she heard on the other end of the line, but it was clear that Federica was sad about something."Happy New Year to you too, Federica. Is... your brother around?""Katia... I don't know how to tell you this, but...""Federica... don't scare me. What's going on?" This made everyone look at her. "What's happening?""Do you remember that my brother and Jürgen were trying to stop the mafia war?""Of course, I remember. That's why he went back to Germany. Has something happened to him?" she asked with fear. Madeleine approached her sister-in-law and put her hands on her arms. "Please, Federica. Tell me what's going on.""My brother was shot in the chest. He's

She had finished showering and the only thing around her body was a towel that reached a few inches below her butt. Took off the towel that surrounded her hair and dried it with that cloth while she looked at herself in the mirror.She stood still as she thought of Stefan. Since he had left she had been using the masturbator she had before she met him, and while she was showering, she had been touching herself thinking about him.Katia needed him to touch her the way he only knew how to touch her and feel his kisses around her body, her neck and kiss her lips.She shook her head not to think about him and not to tempt desire again.She took off her towel and then put on a black strapless set and a colutte also in black and combed her hair a little to get rid of the knots that had come out after wetting her hair.Then she came out of the bathroom and stared at the dress on the bed."Why did you have to choose pink, knowing that I don't like that color?," she said with her hands on her

That night, after putting her daughters to bed, Katia returned to the living room and poured herself a glass of red wine. Ever since she had broken up with Stefan, she did this every night when she felt down.She left the bottle on the coffee table in front of the couch.Katia took the glass of wine and took a small sip while she thought about what Zelig or Stefan had told her. Although to her, he would always be Stefan, as that's the name she had known him by.Did either of them really have the blame?She, barefoot with the glass in her hand, walked across the floor to the entrance and approached a small bookshelf in that area. She sat on the floor, leaving the glass by her side, and opened the door of the piece of furniture, starting to search inside.After a few minutes, she pulled out a frame. She sat on the floor, staring at the photo, and took a sip of wine."You have no idea how much I wish I could talk to you, Oscar... Why did you have to die?" Katia thought, without moving fr

Federica and Katia went up to the top floor where the cafeteria was located. They sat at a table near the large window, and the brunette waitress brought two soft drinks, one for each of them.Unable to help it, Katia felt uncomfortable, but she didn't want to tell the woman sitting across from her. The babbling of the triplets caught her attention.They were three beautiful children, just like their parents, and they were utterly adorable with their chubby cheeks. Judging by their age, the babies couldn't be more than a year and a half old.Not knowing what to say, Katia took a sip of her drink and sighed."My brother told me that Joanne looks a lot like you," Federica commented, making her companion look at her. "Listen, Katia. It's true that my brother is... a mafioso," she said in a hushed voice so no one could hear. "But there's something I'm sure of: he loves you and misses both of you. Over these five years, he's delayed his visit to the Seattle Delegation because of your rejec

Suddenly he saw his daughter suddenly stand up and run into the President's office. Zelig jumped in surprise and crouched down to keep up with his daughter.He noticed that Katia had not moved from where Joanne separated from her and that she was not looking at him."I promise to come another day," Joanne said to her father."I'd love to," he said with a smile. "Now go on. Your mother is waiting for you.""Daddy, why didn't you say hello to mommy?," she asked innocently.Zelig noticed Katia watching them and saw her snort."Mommy is mad at me for something I did a long time ago, but as long as I get to see you again, I'll be happy. Do you know why?" The girl shook her head. "Because you look so much like your mother.""Grandma says Stefanie Elein looks more like Mommy..." she pouted tenderly."I don't think so. You... you have the same look as your mother and her same smile," she stroked his cheek, smiling. "Go on, go. Your mother will be more upset with me as long as you're still her
