“I knew that something was happening, now I know. That's what it's about, I knew. Alaric , I don't have that illusion now, maybe it will come later. Believe me, I'm not so infatuated with the idea anymore, it doesn't stop scaring me, but I find it a little more attractive. I'm serious. Let's just not talk about it anymore, I feel that since we did it we started to feel bad, don't you think it's silly to be like this, to let it affect us?" he inquired to make him reflect and yes, he had succeeded."I think so. It means that you do want to have children, right?“Victoria is in a very beautiful stage, I feel happy for her. I feel like I could be like this too and I would experience the same thing as her. A son of the two would be something beautiful. Of course I would, later, not now, Alaric .""He must have said something really nice to you to change your mind, right?" He launched.“It was not like that, but yes, what he told me made me see things in a different way. I think I should ha

Sleep, that's what he wanted, sleep over and over again. The only way out, on the pillow was fear, one that returned inevitably in the morning. Again he had to face it, a problem that was becoming very tiresome."I'm back, I already made you sleepy. Have you suddenly become drowsy?”“No, I was just waiting for your return, thanks for the welcome, I promise to eat everything tomorrow. Now I want to rest""OK. Do not worry it's alright. I'll leave this here, and I'm leaving. Good night"He kissed her on the forehead."You too. A kiss""Yes, see you tomorrow""You promise?" pouted."Yes, I promise, Victoria"He gave her a smile.When he rose with the sun. I know felt a little disoriented. He had a slight feeling that he had seen Amina last night. Where was it? He blinked a few more times, until he was in the room he shared with Rashid. No, nothing had been an illusion, they were already in New York. Back in her country, and she was relieved to be back. She sat on the bed, somewhat pensiv

The stranger also took her order, by then Victoria had finished hers, and as soon as it happened, she decided to leave the cafe. It had already been more than thirty minutes since he left home. The convenient thing was that he returned to the apartment. And with all that paranoia she felt, she didn't feel so safe on the outside anymore. A taxi passed by, he immediately boarded it and gave him the address of the building. On the way, Amina called him.“I'm going to your flat, I didn't have classes, the teacher got sick and there wasn't time to get a substitute, like the other day. I don't know if it's luck or not, but great, because I get to spend the morning with you. Do you want me to buy something?""No, it is not necessary. Did you have something very important to deliver today?” he inquired, letting her know that he was interested in his stability at the university.“No, but you never know, sometimes it happens that without having a plan, the teacher announces a surprise exam. Hey

Then his cell phone rang again insistently. He answered the call, feeling that everything was falling apart around him. It was the same sender. She dropped to the ground, bordering on ferocious fear.“Now what do you want? Leave me alone, I don't believe a single word of you. You're just some crazy woman who wants to make me believe something that isn't" she spat, hugging her legs.“No, I'm not crazy, as you think. I'm actually giving you a warning, I gave it to you, and you didn't listen to me. Now something very bad is going to happen to you, I'm sorry" she added falsely while letting out a loud laugh that caused chills throughout Victoria's body."Why are you doing this? I have not wronged anyone. I've always been a good girl.""That does not matter, you have messed with the wrong man and for that you are going to pay""If you're so brave, then tell me what's your name!" she exclaimed desperately.Loud laughter was heard on the other end of the line. That sound of a psychopath, a m

Two hours before.Rashid was furious, too angry with those photographs of the two of them during their stay in Ireland; he had no idea how those photos had gotten into the press, but some malicious reporter had been watching them so he could get information about their every step.Alaric , after thinking about it for a long time, decided to tell him about the information that was already being handled from the press about the two of them.“You already know that they would, that is, they always look for a way to get information, it is their job. But what they are doing is definitely violating people's privacy.""As if I don't have enough problems right now to deal with anything else," he snapped, slamming his desk.“I'm really mad at all the bullshit you're always talking about,” he repeated."But, they have only posted photos of you and Victoria together, I read the article and they don't talk bad about you, even so, it's still a bit shocking that they are aware of what they do or don

After a while he was already with the others to eat food. Her paternal grandparents, who were already elderly, were very happy to see her there. And Victoria was also full of happiness when eating with her grandparents who, because they lived far away, could hardly see each other."What took you so long outside?""Grandma, I want another one for a pretty butterfly"“Catch her?”"Yeah! But is very difficult"His father intervened."Daughter, you shouldn't do that, butterflies fly and fly without stopping. It wouldn't be right for you to want to take one.""It's just that I'm not going to keep the butterfly, I just want to hold it in my hand and then I'm going to release it," he explained, taking a spoonful of food to his mouth again.His grandfather smiled. She seems to him an overly intelligent and anxious girl.“If I had more energy, I would help you take it. But look at me, I'm too old to be around there” he admitted smiling."I don't think you're old, just a little older grandpa"E

After a while screaming non-stop, his throat was already hurting and he had no choice but to give up and fall back on the cold and dirty floor. Hugging her legs, she let the crying out, crying non-stop, she couldn't stop.It was some time before he could quickly regain his calm, then he got up from there and looked for some way out but there was nothing, except a tiny window very high through which little light entered and the point through which he had surely exited. that butterfly.Suddenly he went to the door, and although he tried to open it, over and over again, nothing worked. It was complicated. He had only managed to fill himself with a lot of frustration and anger. Thus turning the despair of before into an even more intensified one.He didn't have his things with him either, as was to be expected; She thought of Rashid, of Amina, the first to cry out when she was on the floor and couldn't find her. He hoped that he would notify Rashid of his disappearance and not that he wou

didn't quite understand what he was talking about. What the hell did her daughter have to do with all of this?"Yes, my daughter. She deserves to be happy."“Everyone in the world deserves happiness”The wretch laughed madly."No, don't talk nonsense. Not all people are deserving of happiness” she expressed very sure of what she was saying.But she was too wrong with her opinion."No, don't say that. Even you deserve to be happy, and it's not worth doing this kind of thing, you won't find happiness if you continue to ruin people's lives. Please, there is still time to let me go, I promise you that not a word will come out of me about what is happening here."I had to try again and again even if I received a refusal from him anyway.“No, I already said no, you're not going anywhere. Before I break up with you, there are many things you should know, and you will listen to me.""I feel very bad, I really do not feel good being in these four walls""I don't mind. Don't come here to get e

"Baby, don't be afraid. Mom is with you and for you I will fight until the end. I promise I won't give up so easily, and I know that your father is already looking for us too."After a while he heard footsteps outside again but they didn't look like the ones from a while ago, when it was that insane woman. So surely it was someone else trying to get to her. He stayed alert during those suspenseful minutes. In the end the person who appeared was also a tall and muscular stranger who had a tray in his hands and like an animal he threw it at his feet. She was grateful that shortly after the man left and left her alone.Everything on that tray looked old and gross. They only gave him a tremendous desire to go to his mouth and vomit. It didn't look appetizing and he wouldn't take the risk of consuming anything that was there, fearing that it might have poison. He will stand firm before that decision, things that could change with the passing of the hours and awaken his voracious appetite.

On the other hand, Rashid had finally decided to go to that psychiatric center at the last minute after thinking about it many times and reflecting. He did not mention anything to his best friend who would surely insist again so that he did not attend that site. He was glad to have people like him, who cared, but there were decisions that no one else should make for him.He was on his way to the psychiatric center when he saw his phone screen lit up, it was an incoming call from Amina. He decided to turn off the phone, then he would call her and explain everything.On the other side was the very worried girl. Alaric was on his side. He was the next to call his friend to see if he would pick up the phone, but it turned out that he also couldn't get through."He doesn't attend to me. I don't know where he could have gone. I went to his office but it was empty and what seems strangest to me is that he canceled this afternoon's meeting, I really don't know why he suddenly left the company
