"Valentina, you scared me!" I brought a palm to my chest."Answer, redhead."Why are you suddenly acting like a harpy?" I growled demanding. It's not my fault that Anastasia let me do the interview.She twisted a lock of her golden hair around her ring finger and played with it. She seemed insane. My head hit the alarm button, in case the blonde tried something.“Well, it doesn't seem fair to me, I got to this place before you. I'm sick of covering little stories, writing about nonsense, while you hit the jackpot and become Anastasia's favorite” she spat hotly, feline."Then that's what it's about, you're jealous" You should talk to Anastasia, in the end she is the one who decides who goes and who stays. I responded harshly, faced with that sudden viper wanting to bite me and stick its venom into my skin."Something strange is going on, don't you think?" He spoke narrowing his eyes, agitated. Overnight, Anastasia finds you perfect and decides to give you a golden platter to go after a

I couldn't sleep a wink all night, thinking about Valentina's words. That woman had started with a nightmare that left my body bathed in sweat, an unpleasant sensation in my chest as I tried not to fall into the hole of restlessness at dawn.On Thursday morning, my little son, a time freak, woke me up, swarming with excessive concern that he would be late for school. With so much sleeplessness last night I did not rest a bit, consequently I fell asleep. I woke up sleepily, trying to wake up all the senses."Mommy, you have to hurry" he pointed out for the hundredth time, showing me the time on his watch.“I fell asleep, I’m sorry. Did you have breakfast?”"Yes" he said sourly, impatiently. I can't be late, I have swimming today, do you forget?“No! Of course, I do not forget, Isaac” I raised my tone, I walked to the bathroom and before turning the knob I went back to him “Wait downstairs, I promise I won't be long”He narrowed his eyes, finally came out. I huffed in front of the mirro

“Are you talking seriously?” he asked with a wild look.I looked everywhere, preventing a third party from hanging around, listening to other people's conversations. I don't know why she thought she was playing with something like that, on the other hand I understood her, it wasn't just any man."I don't like to talk about it, it's a delicate matter, that's why I've kept it to myself, Beatriz," I explained taking a breath, my lungs urging it. In the past, we had something and when I found out that I was pregnant we were no longer together, I never told him anything because he had married”She gasped like a fish out of its habitat, even clutching at the marble, puzzled. I couldn't guess everything that was going through his head, but I was sure he was shocked."You know I don't like gossip, but how did you meet him?" He wanted to know."Promise you won't tell anyone, Beatriz.""I won't tell anyone, Mariané. You know you can trust me" he said with a smile.From that moment on, she turne

The mirror reflected an image alien to me. But it was me, dressed in a wine-red dress, with a slight neckline in front that highlighted my breasts, back out and rounded cut; she was wearing black stiletto heels, which she wasn't used to, no way. Looking good had its awkward side. The incredible look was complemented by my friend, making my fiery long hair an updo.With red matte lips, eyeliner and mascara, I was ready to go. Rarely did this version of me come out of hiding, but this way seemed like the first time I wasn't hiding in a shell.A whistle coming from those feminine lips made me flutter my eyes. Kelly, on the edge of my bed, kept looking at me like I was a Picasso painting."Don't stay there, go on, go break hearts" he pointed out with giggles.I shook my head, looking like teenage Kelly, definitely not going on a hunt. Rather, I should be the one to avoid being devoured at all costs in that circle of old millionaires.“Although I like the result, I don't feel like the owne

We take off our clothes, leaving room for inquisitive drift, space to clarify the passionate darkness going through our bodies in an intense spiral. Our free will was decided by the wrongness that felt so good, the sin that without realizing it imprisoned us again.He snatched the expensive dress from my skin and threw it somewhere in the hotel room. His eyes gleamed like those of a wolf having dinner served. I fixed my gaze on his long fingers unzipping his dark pants, I bit my lip, I knew in advance what would come next. His manhood came out, I flushed all over, but steeled myself to receive it anyway.He flipped me onto my back, pinned my wrists, a clear warning that he was in control. Once exposed to him, he coursed through me with lust and treachery. His lips played with my nipples, and I moaned, arching from the surge of pleasure that just his mischievous tongue generated. He spent a long time devouring my mounds hardened by the heat of his warm breath scattering wet oscules, co

“I…”“You don't have to answer, little flower.“Ismail, I feel terrible. Having slept with you, that you are a married man, makes me a…”"Don't you dare say it" he warned, absorbing a sigh, lifting my chin for me to look at him. I couldn't reply, nothing, her hypnotic sapphires made me a docile woman “I have seen you arrive at the event, clearly uncomfortable, I thought that at some point during the night you would notice my presence”He was right, it had been strange not to notice his attention on me, with all that magnetism he exuded, how could I not see and feel it? Ismail released the sweet grip and placed his palm on my waist again. The heat that radiated did not stop penetrating deep into my skin, unleashing chaos."I don't know, those places make me stunned…" I whispered affectedly in the dense mist that enveloped us. In the bathroom I found your companion, why her?"Alexa?" He inquired and I affirmed softly. That will have told half the world, she's just the spoiled daughter o

“Many people were at the event, as for Ismail, no, I didn't find him”It was true, he was the one who intercepted me in the middle of the parking lot. So, he wasn't exactly telling a lie."Something isn't looking good, you can't save yourself from me anyway, naughty redhead," he warned, leaving me frozen”I sighed and decided to end the call. I looked at myself in the mirror for a while, there was nothing wrong with the striking pale pink dress, even though its exorbitant cost was three thousand dollars, quite normal coming from Ismail. I suppose compensation, in your opinion, for ruining my clothes last night.And an extra like white Louboutin’s.I ran my eyes over my face looking for a mistake, but strange as it was, my eyes were shining.I went back to Ismail. He had finished eating, now he was talking on the phone, as soon as he saw me, he ended the conversation with the person on the other end of the line. It didn't surprise me that it was his wife. The possibility stabbed me.“I

After weaving a few stitches with my attorney, I went to get Lizzy, leading her into the tub for her bath for the day. His constant splashing ended up wetting my clothes. He had a lot of fun playing with the water. She didn't sit still for a second, she was very naughty when she wanted to.“You like it right?”“Very much daddy, I'm a mermaid!” he exclaimed laughing."Let's see, mermaid. Enough of the games” I pulled her out, wrapping a pink towel around her.She waited for me on the edge of her bed, while rummaging through her closet I found her favorite unicorn pajamas. He squealed with joy when I showed it to him. She put on her underwear herself, humorously asking me to look away.I did it.With the rest, he needed my help. I dried and untangled her blond hair, letting it loose. I once tried to braid her hair, but nothing worked. I got into trouble with those feminine things. I wouldn't try anymore.“Now it's my turn, could you stay calm in bed?” He nodded, kissed my cheek, and set

I spent the morning in the work cloud, fulfilling my pending Monday; No matter how hard I tried, I didn't get Ismail out of my mind, he didn't even fade with my attention riveted on the screen. I sighed for the umpteenth time, placing a pen between my fingers to take notes on a lined sheet.Suddenly I felt the intensity of a look on me, I discovered Valentina dedicating a certain hatred to me; Since she decided to find out the reason, according to her, for which Anastasia kept me on a pedestal, the little exchange of words that we had with each other vanished.He didn't even talk to me anymore.The fly of envy had bitten her, without a doubt.I wouldn't pay attention to that pained blonde fool.“Mariané, what did you think of the event?” Arthur inquired, for the first time I didn't notice flirting intentions."It went well" I answered shortly, giving him a sidelong glance."I thought you wouldn't go, but I'm glad you did"“Yes, thanks, I smiled fleetingly” He then cleared my field of

I put the key in the lock. We enter. I looked everywhere, at the end headed to the kitchen, I prepared the food. Chicken and vegetables. While she was cutting the potatoes, Isaac appeared.“I need a photo of dad, I want to paint him before I see him in person, to give him the painting when I meet him”"I don't have a picture of you, Isaac" I pursed my lips. Why don't you ask him in person? You don't have to tell him why, then another day you give it to him, do you think?“No, I don't think so, but it's a good idea, now I'm going to ask you to take a picture of us all as a family” He resolved, turning to leave.Breathe deeply.When the food was ready, I called him for lunch. We ate in silence, he helped me wash the dishes. The doorbell rang, I asked him to open it. It was surely Aaron, he told me he was coming.Anyway, I followed Isaac, holding a drying plate."Mr. Al-Murabarak!" He shouted euphorically when he opened the door, finding Ismail.My heart stopped.“Mother! Can you believe
