Esteban knew perfectly well that what he was doing was not right for many reasons. Besides, he was making nice enough when he had promised to be a totally different and cold person from what anyone else could remember of him.But with Sofia he couldn't. She reminded him of that time where his only concern was to be better than his friend Daniel. But now, things had changed. Everything was happening too fast and too complicated. So much so that she didn't know why she was holding Sofia's hand while she was being attended to.She was doing things that were silly and very different from what she had been doing for the past few months. Which was a big blow to him. Because he was being so docile, in front of a girl who had never shown herself to be fragile until now."We're done with the stitches. You must not get cold and you must take care of the wounds. Headaches and local pains in each wound are normal. But if after taking the medication, the pains continue or the wound looks reddened o
David gets out of the car and goes around the car to get out with Sofia, almost immediately, Aninka runs to Sofia throwing herself into his arms, but David, gets in the way."She's hurt. Besides, we need to talk about certain things first." mutters David leaving Aninka confused. So, Daniel comes closer and in a whisper tells her what's going on."Oh, that...I understand." he murmurs and then looks at Sofia "I'm glad you're okay." he comments trying not to cry and she nods clinging to her brother.Aninka runs back to the guys to tell them what's going on and they all nod giving Sofia and her brother space. Walking in, questions about what she remembers bombard her and it is Daniel who asks the most about Esteban and how they managed to get away."I really don't understand them. First, I don't know why they're all around me, when I don't even know them. And second, I still don't understand why they ask me about a kidnapping, when what happened was a car accident." murmurs Sofia.They al
A new day was beginning and with it came new farewells. Due to the danger that Sofia was in, they had to leave today and so they were saying goodbye at Daniel's house, where they had spent the night. Everyone was a little sad to see them go. But the one who was most affected was Aninka. Who was crying over her friend's departure."I think it's unfair that you have to leave so soon. You shouldn't have to leave so soon when you are the victim." complains Aninka."That's why, you should leave. In this world, things are bad. The bad guys walk free and the victims must hide. So, don't feel bad. It's unfair, but it's what we must accept in order to keep it whole." says Camilo."Still, it's unfair. We only found her yesterday and already today we have to say goodbye. Besides, why are you going so far away? It's not fair that you have to go so far away." he complains whimpering from crying so much."You must calm down. You look like you're about to die. They're just going to another country,
The silhouette grew larger, to the point of causing fear in the boy who takes Sofia as a shield and aims. But before he can protect himself, a shot is heard and he moves away from Sofia trying to run with the wound in his arm that has caused the gun to fall.Sofia, who had recognized the man, runs towards him to feel protection. But Esteban does not focus on her, instead, he covers her with his body to end the life of the man he shoots a second time in the leg so that he cannot run away."You were really here." whispers Sofia excited to see him."I want you behind me. Don't open your eyes, even if you hear something and use my silhouette as a wall that you must use to protect yourself." orders Esteban and she heeds him without complaining for fear of receiving his wrath. One that was notorious."Dude, you don't need to do that" says the man who no longer runs away when he sees that Esteban won't stop pointing the gun at him."Of course I need to and I'm not your friend." says Esteban.
Esteban had wished he felt strange or upset during the kiss, but he hadn't really been. Esteban, the boy who had promised not to fall in love with the girl he would play with, had bowed to a kiss from her. He had liked her so much, he could proclaim himself addicted to them.Because it wasn't just who he kissed, that had taken a back seat, what had made him addicted, was how he could feel so much love in a single kiss. It was as if he had lacked it since he was born and today he tasted for the first time, what it was like to feel loved and to receive love.His argument was strange, because he had received love from his own, but that was how he felt. That kiss made him feel things he had never felt before. For example, the desire to never finish the kiss and the tingling that ran through his whole body, it was strange, but pleasurable.'Too bad it's not that kiss, really for you' his mind reminds him and that's when he reacts and pulls away from Sophia's lips."Is something wrong?" ask
The atmosphere was tense. Esteban was upset about what he had confirmed and David had noticed it when he saw his face. But if in the kitchen there was an argument, in the living room there was one just as big and one that would complicate Esteban's life"What happened?" asks Esteban as he sees the angry faces of the Mordashov Petrovav brothers."What's going on with you guys?" asks Esteban curiously."She doesn't want to leave. She says that, if I take her by force, she will come looking for you" answers David angrily."That's what she told me" mutters Esteban with obvious exhaustion."What are we going to do with her?""I don't know, I can't have her with me and the truth is, the fact that they are here, is a danger that, at any moment, will end with her disappearing and not exactly for looking for me" answers Esteban."So what do I do, put her in a convent or something until she remembers?" asks David."Hey, I'm here listening to you guys!" complains Sofia."That's good, so you unde
A month laterSofia, as the owner of the house, was walking around one of the houses owned by her father. That house where Esteban did not want to have her, but there was no human power to convince her to leave, even when her brother threatened her to leave.The house had changed so much thanks to Sofia, who saw in every corner an opportunity to make the house more familiar and warmer than the cold and rustic it had looked before. That's why the house had glass holders, tablecloths and bathroom decorations in pastel shades and allusive to skating.There was no longer any human power to convince her that Esteban is not her ex-boyfriend Julian and the truth, no matter how many doctors have seen her, no one has been able to understand why her mind makes her think so.So, since she hasn't done anything crazy and focuses on knitting things for the house, the guys have calmed down a bit, especially Esteban, who has been playing with fire by leading the search team for Sofia, when he is livi
Esteban was in a cold sweat. His body was heating up and his heart was pumping his blood hard as his nerve endings focused on a specific spot that he was insistently touching to free himself, but he hadn't been able to yet.He knew better than to go home or he would succumb to the woman who had dared to send erotic photos.'God, why did I have to do it right after I had that drink? Why of all the women who could think they were in love with me, I was touched by Sofia, the woman who charged me for all the ones I did to her?' asked Esteban mentally.The pressure in his crotch was great, he knew he couldn't go all the way home or he would be in big trouble when Sofia regained her memory.'I can't make it home. If I don't control myself and I'm with her, it will be abuse that she would take out on me later. Even right now her brother could send me to prison.' Esteban says to himself mentally."Wait a minute, David is at home. As much as I really want to, I won't
Our dresses were very different. Aninka's looked like a princess, so big and with so much fabric to the point of her skirt and veil, dragging the place down. Mine, on the other hand, was simple. A dress with long sleeves and bare shoulders. With a fabric that clung to my body and stretched to the end of my feet.We were two opposing brides, one overdressed and one simple, at the wedding Aninka wanted: big and with guests I've never seen, but I know they are businessmen. Something that helps her fulfill that wish of Aninka's about having a big wedding. Where I could barely keep up with her and as soon as we get married I will run away. So many people overwhelm me.The two of us, we walk towards the man who will be our husband. The walk, quiet and slow, helps me remember everything we went through to get here. From the scorn, kidnappings, deaths and estrangement we lived through, to the good times and how we supported each other when it was necessary.Our relationship w
I knew the news had come as a surprise to both of them. But, I didn't know how they would react to it. And there was no time to back out now. I had given the news in a nervous shock. Esteban, immediately hugged me, while David, put away his gun."I can't lose them. I couldn't go on knowing they were dead. I can't fire anyone anymore." he whispered."It's okay. Don't worry. It'll just be this moment and it'll all be over.""You don't need to expose yourselves anymore. We can...""Go take her somewhere safe. I'll handle this." says David and I deny."I want them both to be okay" I say and Stephen nods."Everything will be fine, just, go get the boys to take you home safely and we'll come after.""No, I'm not going to leave them."Esteban brings his hands to his neck and removes the chain from where he pulls the ring he gave me over two years ago."This is my promise that I will come back alive. We will come back alive. But, we can only do t
'Well, that's partly your fault, Sofia. Are you going to ignore your responsibility in this?' my mind chides me 'You want it too, make the most of it.'Knowing what I want and that nothing will change if I don't want it, I open the shower door and he turns his body showing me the source of his problem."Get out, Sofia. I have things to do" Esteban says frustrated and I walk over to him, backing him up until I reach the wall he had used to hit himself."I can help you with that. I'm partly to blame for that" I say taking his hand which I place on my chest."Sofia, you're playing with fire.""We're underwater, fire isn't going to burn us here. So what are you going to do?" I ask and the next second, it's me against the wall, my dress torn and him, lifting one of my legs."Are you sure about this?" asks Esteban in a hoarse voice."And you are?" I ask challenging him and he smiles at me making a single movement that makes me stifle a moan."I am"
Five months laterHow naive I was to believe that I could leave or that I could help them. I was foolish to think that leaving here was possible and so, I was once again locked in the room that looks like a huge cage.After all, trying to escape through the air ducts because I wanted to get my life back ended up in the foiled plan that Esteban easily destroyed.Nor, escaping through the back door or another exit, was impossible because I didn't have the access code. And even going to the garden didn't give me any chance of leaving, because the place is so heavily guarded that it is impossible to take a step without my brother and Esteban knowing.But, since I tried to use knives from the kitchen to threaten the others to be released, I am now locked in the room, while the guys have focused on capturing the damn man they still haven't killed."Please let me out. I promise I won't do anything crazy." I ask bored from already being locked up for two weeks. Wher
Sofia narratesI was nervous, there weren't as many people as when Mordashov was killed. But, still, I was afraid. The possibility of seeing them get hurt or killed while I'm a dumb spectator, it's not pleasant.Quickly, she walked to the closet where Esteban took out his weapons and taking a long-range one, she looked for a place where she could use it.One thing that certainly shows that I'm in a big cage is that the window doesn't open. It is only a kind of material that is not glass or other fragile material, but I doubt it is iron because of how transparent the window is, impossible to break.Annoyed, I look all over the place for a spot where I can take out a part of my gun to shoot, fortunately, in the bathroom, I find a small hole where I place the gun looking slightly outward.The guys had already gotten out of their cars and were shooting incessantly. So, I had to hurry. A girl who had gone three years without using a gun was now going to do it to
The kiss was deep, something they had both missed doing and that was why Sofia was upset.'Why did she have to desire someone who had decided to leave? Why on earth would she enjoy lips she had been so determined to forget and a single second all effort went down the drain?' mentally wondered Sofia.Sofia moved her face to interrupt the kiss and with tears running down her cheeks and a pain in her throat, she spoke to him.'Why do you play with me like this? You arrive, you get my hopes up and you leave. Yours, Esteban, is not love, it's a damned emotional tourism that always takes me to the edge of the abyss that I strive not to fall.""It's not like that, Sofia.""Yes it is, Esteban. You supported me to the point of confusing me so much and believing you had changed. But, look at you, Esteban. This was what you wanted," Sofia says painfully and Esteban walks away."I left because if I didn't, they would come for you. They would because this never ends
The car carrying Sofia, celebrated the triumph of having taken 'the package' easily. While Aninka was desperately looking for her friend. Everyone thought it was all over, until a car driving like crazy appeared from a corner and crashed into the car carrying Sofia.Esteban Bogdanov was getting out of the car, shooting at the men who had tried to take Sofia. Behind him, his men were shooting at the Englishmen who dared to kidnap Sofia.The car, which had been wrecked on the side opposite to where Sofia was, was so destroyed that the man who had carried her over her body. When Esteban ran to rescue Sofia, the bodyguards who came out on motorcycles and in cars, began shooting at him, causing him to back away."Protect Sofia!" he shouted in annoyance, while looking for protection, shooting at the falling motorcycles as they lost their driver. Thing that doesn't stop the cars and Esteban immediately, understands what they want to do."It's a trap! Shoot anyone who tr
Two years laterSofia smiled with pleasure at what she had achieved. In all this time, she was completely dedicated to the academy where she teaches and to her own training. Along the way, several of her girls left for professional teams and the few that remained were talking about which team to join.As a result, the academy, which was full of life, now, did not have many students. Those who were still attending were doing it for entertainment and not because they wanted to prepare themselves to be on a professional team.Therefore, the demands of the last few months had diminished. Sofia took a deep breath and skated for the last time in the rink where she had demanded and had demanded from her students many things that helped them all grow. Both she and her students.Making a full presentation, she said goodbye to the rink where in the middle of the rink, she left the box that Esteban had left her as a gift the first time she taught at the academy.
Omnipresent NarratorThe boys smiled when they saw Sofia's attitude. She didn't look so sad and down. Although she was not happy, she looked calm and less mortified by the decisions of others. So, that, already, was considered a win."Well, the food was amazing, what do you guys have in mind to do now?" asks Zayn smiling."Aninka" they all say knowing that she is the one who always makes plans for all kinds of things."Well I have the perfect plan." says Aninka smiling as she gets up from her chair and runs to the sound she turns on "Dancing.""This must be a joke." mutters Sofia and Aninka gives her a dirty look."You promised you'd try. Besides, the fun hasn't even started yet. So, don't be a spoilsport." chides Aninka and Sofia sighs deeply."Okay, dance." says Sofia crossing my arms."Let's dance." corrects Aninka and she slides her hand down to the prosthesis she removes."Sorry, I can't dance without a foot." mutters Sofia reluctant
