Chapter 81

Chapter 81TensionThe twinkling city lights of Mexico City were in the distance as Ximena sat at her desk, her eyes red and burning from staring at financial reports for hours. The numbers blurred together, but that pit in her stomach stayed sharp. Antonio's Group was in serious trouble, and it was up to her to figure out a way to fix it.But it wasn't the company that kept her awake. It was everything: Miguel, Tania, Vega Investments circling them like vultures. She couldn't afford to have feelings to distract her, yet neither could she manage to turn them off completely. Not after that kiss.Her fingers strayed to her lips, still sensing the heat of Miguel's touch. She pulled away because she knew it was wrong. They aren't the people they used to be anymore-too much happened, and she couldn't just fall back into his arms like nothing is any different.But her heart still ached, and to add to that, it weighed upon her shoulder. 'Concentrate,' she consoled herself, 'you have a com

Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Miguel was at his desk staring at the time on the clock as the minutes elapsed. He had no clue of the outcome of this meeting with Ximena. Everything that had happened after the kiss, the tension, the visible attraction, and the unknown bothered him. She had wanted to meet him in her office and had not been talking about the company all this time, so it was about him. He could feel it.He was nervous, not an emotion he was familiar with, especially not with Ximena. But now? Everything was different. She was different. She was not his wife; she was the woman he had an affair with, and wanted to reconcile with.His cell phone rang on the desk. From Ximena: "I'm ready. Come now."He breathed in deeply and stood up and no matter what he had in store for him he walked towards her office.Ximena sat behind her desk, her spine rigid, her eyes pinpointed and tired. She looked up when he entered the room and for a second there was a spark, some kind of light in her eyes.“Miguel,

Chapter 83

Chapter 83Ximena sat at the head of the conference table. A heavyweight silence fell upon the room. Her team was there, Carlos and Robert, a couple of other key executives all donning faces as solemn as the situation they were in. She was elsewhere, though. Still, her mind could not get off what Miguel had told her last night.Behind it all was Tania: the leaks, the sabotage. Since the instant Tania had reappeared in Miguel's life, Ximena had known that she was trouble, but she had not known what to expect, how grave her betrayal would be. Now, with the company near collapse, there was little time left to stop her.We've ascertained that the leaks came from Tania's side," he said, finally breaking the silence. "But we do not have concrete evidence we can take to the board. We need concrete, irrefutable evidence.Ximena frowned; tapping her fingers on the table. "Tania is not going to make this easy. She's already threatening to expose the company and with that, bury us if we don't

Chapter 84

Chapter 84She couldn't move, couldn't shift her gaze away from the name on his screen: Alejandro Vega. And then it was clear to her – the wave descended in her mind, leaving her trembling. Vega Investment was not only a threat from outside the company but also inside the company with a mole yet unknown.And Tania? The plan is part of Alejandro, nothing more than that.Miguel was standing next to her and he seemed to be even more pale than he usually is. She saw the shock and the anger in his eyes and there was guilt in them. They were paying the price for Tania; she had been his mistake.Just when they could go on with the conversation, Carlos made a dry cough to remind them of the reality. "This is big, Ximena. If we could only attribute this to Vega, then, we might just have a shot at taking them down.”Ximena smiled although inside her head she was thinking. "But for that, we’ll have to have more than emails alone. We require solid proof that the board cannot wave aside.”“We’v

Chapter 85

Chapter 85Ximena took the car back to her apartment and her hands clutched the wheel more than before. The thoughts of last with Miguel still clouded her mind as she tried to shove it off to concentrate on the pressing problem.The rapidly spinning wheels made the outskirts of the city seem as if they where melting away and her mind was racing with thoughts. ‘Tania knew.’ She had guessed what they were going to do and now they had no more time in their hands. It had taken Ximena all of her strength just to get out of Miguel’s apartment. The passion of their kiss, the proximity to the state of losing control; it had disoriented her.But there was no time for such thoughts at the moment. Not while Tania is busy threatening to destroy everything they have built.Finally, when Ximena arrived at her apartment, she was able to barely slip into her apartment and open the door before her phone rang. It was Carlos. She was taken aback for a moment, and then regained herself to respond to

Chapter 86

Chapter 86New Discovery The quietness that had descended the room was almost oppressive, this decision resting on her as something that was almost physically possible to bear and which could make her flat. She sat at the desk to look at the contract that Vega Investment Company had forwarded her with. Here it lay, in front of her, daring her, challenging her, promising a solution - the promise of saving Antonio’s Group.But at what cost?She would be agreeing to Alejandro Vega’s terms - taking her family’s company with him, the man who was indeed responsible for its ruin. That was a fairly bitter pill to swallow. She had worked so hard to struggle for this company, and now the only way she found to save it was to surrender.She looked at the time; soon Miguel would come. They were to discuss the plan of their next action, but Ximena could not get rid of that oppressive feeling in her breast. This wasn't only about the company now; it was all about everything: her life, her love

Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Her office was still, too still. The calm before the storm, Ximena told herself as she settled back in her chair and glanced down at the files on the desk. The betrayal by Richard was still fresh and it seemed to be tearing a canal through her heart.The man who she thought was her family had been working with Vega all along and tearing down all her family had worked for. And now the board meeting was not far off. In two days, she would have to assure the board that Antonio’s Group was not the company that everyone thought was on its way down.It left no chance for pause. Not anymore.The sudden buzzing of her phone in her hand snapped her back from her thoughts. "I need to see you. I have something important."With a mere, fast, and almost inaudible breath, she complied to his demand, to meet him in his office. With every second that elapsed they were propelled either to victory or to the very edges of defeat where nothing at all remained. As Ximena picked up her belo

Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Miguel saw Ximena turn and leave his office, her hand coming off his hand. His chest raced, and the remnants of their kiss still burned him, as though he craved the flames of the fire he pursued. He wished to run after her, grab her by the arm, turn her around and have his way with her. But she was right. It was too much to lose and if they did not concentrate then everything that they had strived for would crumble.However, he felt a twinge of pain in his chest whenever she told him they would sort things out at some other time. He had already lost her once; he couldn’t afford to do it again. He still remembered the feel of their lips on each other and that was enough to convince him that there was still something between them that would help to turn things around.But first they had to contend with Tania.Miguel’s phone rang on the desk and he looked at it and sighed when he saw that it was Tania. She was calling again. He despised this game; he knew he still had to b

Chapter 89

Chapter 89The wall clock seemed to tick louder than usual, each passing second a grim reminder that for all intents and purposes, time was running out. Ximena sat at her desk, going over notes she had compiled in preparation for the upcoming board meeting. The tension was thick in the air, and Ximena could hardly focus on what she was reading. Her mind kept drifting back to Miguel and his confrontation with Tania.He had been somewhat tight-lipped about the particulars over the phone. Just that Tania had threatened them both and dropped intimations that there were further players.Who else would be against them now?A sudden rap at her door sent her jumping. She snapped herself together quickly enough to call out, "Come in."The door opened and Robert stepped inside, grimmer than usual. "We need to talk."Ximena felt the knot in her stomach tighten. She nodded and gestured to him to take a seat. Robert was her strongest supporter on the board, the one person she had trusted during

Chapter 90

Chapter 90Miguel was standing outside Tania’s penthouse, the wind blew harsh against his skin. The discomfort in his chest rose since the time Ximena called him, her voice trembling saying someone has been stalking her after leaving Gregor’s office. He did not like it, no way. Tania was getting desperate, and desperate people were dangerous.He rang the bell and tried to control his anxiety. This meeting was crucial. There were more players in this game, and Tania knew more than she cared to reveal, and before he played this game anymore he had to find out who the other players were.The door opened and there was Tania standing in the doorway with a wicked smile on her lips. “Miguel,” she slid across the door frame and stood to one side to let him into the house. “I didn’t think you’d still be awake at this time.”Miguel entered the room and just upon entering he started looking around the room. It was the same grande environment that he had become accustomed to; paintings on the wa
