Living with the enemy/Iris Sanchez

Is it possible to fall in love at first sight? Because this guy... his gaze, his deep and intense gaze, is making me feel things in my stomach. The guy just gave me a slight smile, which made me swallow hard. I straightened up, aware that I'm still in my bikini.I cleared my throat and stood up straight."Sorry, I didn’t see you," I said nervously."I noticed, no problem," he adjusted his suit and headed towards the elevator, right where I was going. I followed him, hoping he doesn't think I'm following him, even though deep down I want to find out everything about this guy. The elevator doors closed, and we both raised our hands to press the button.We looked at each other.I laughed nervously.I'm pathetic."Go ahead," I told him."Ladies first, please," he said, so chivalrously."Thank you," I pressed the button for the honeymoon suite and waited."How curious," he commented. "We're going to the same place."I half-smiled and didn’t respond because it seemed strange. Who else would

Living with the enemy/Iris Sanchez

The day of the trial, which I’m obviously going to win. No one in their right mind would give all this money and the businesses to some upstart, someone who stayed in the shadows all his life and then decided to show up and take what my stepfather left me. I don't want to stress about it, so I had my linden tea first to relax and not get worked up. I tend to be very hyperactive and a bit crazy sometimes. But today, so the judge doesn’t see me as crazy, I need to appear sane."Take me to that trial, Leonard," I told my driver as I got into the car.The ride was a bit tense; to be honest, I'm nervous. The worst part is that Luke is incredibly handsome, and sometimes I stumble over that blond hair falling across his forehead and his bad-boy demeanor.Ugh.I already hate him.I hope I never see him again after today.When I arrived at the courthouse, I got out feeling empowered, although deep down, I felt like a defenseless kitten about to cry. I appear strong because of my job and becaus

I got out of the car."What are you doing?" I asked the men who were carrying furniture."Moving, miss. Mr. Grayson said to bring everything here.""And where is Mr. Grayson?" I crossed my arms."Inside," one of them replied.I hurried inside to find him. I heard voices upstairs, so I quickly climbed the stairs and found him in my bedroom, rummaging through the drawers."What the hell are you doing?!" I snapped. "Put that down," I said, snatching my babydoll from his hands."This is the master bedroom, right? It'll be mine."Inhale, exhale."This is MY bedroom," I said through gritted teeth. "So go find the guest room or the janitor's closet, but you're not staying here. Get out! Shoo, shoo!" I pushed him out, but he was strong and didn’t budge."Hey, relax. The judge said we have to share everything. Half and half. So... why not? We could both sleep here."Another mini heart attack was about to strike me."You want to kill me, don't you? Yes, that's why you're here. I die, and you ge

"If I'm doing this, it's for your own good."“Why do you care if it hurts me or not? Give me my things and stay out of my kitchen,” I shot back, giving him my best serial killer stare.I walked past him and went back upstairs, only to see the state of my poor bedroom. I opened the door, and… my bed… my precious bed… was gone. In its place was a bigger one with a blue comforter. Blue! I hate sad colors.I’m hyperventilating.I need air.Air!Where’s my pink comforter? Besides, the blue doesn’t even match the walls.“Do you like it?” I heard his voice.I started crying.“What’s wrong?” His voice sounded concerned. “Amanda, you’re worrying me.”“My mattress… my comforter. You could have at least found a white one or… I don’t know, something that matches the walls, but blue… blue is sad,” I sobbed. “You know what? If you want, you can keep this room. I’m going to find another one.”I walked toward the door, feeling defeated.“Amanda, wait… you’re right. The blue doesn’t match. I’ll have t
