"Now I really have to go. Our farewell ends here," Kyle was already quite drunk.Since they entered the apartment, Catrina encouraged him to toast. Given the time they had known each other, she knew he wasn't a good drinker. The alcohol had a quick effect on him, especially when combined, as it was in his case. Catrina sat on his lap and started kissing him."Stay with me tonight? Yes, tomorrow you'll go back to Manhattan to play happy family. Let me say goodbye properly to the one who was my love, because I did fall in love with you.""Don't start, Catrina. Get off. I told you I feel nothing for you. Just get up; I need to go to my room," he slurred, feeling dizzy. He cursed himself for not taking precautions; he knew he couldn't mix drinks, yet he had whisky at the meeting and mixed it with wine here.Upon hearing him speak, Catrina grinned maliciously and quickly got off. She pulled him by the hand, dragging him into the bedroom, threw him on the bed, took off his shoes, and climbe

Four weeks passed, and Kyle prepared a surprise for his wife."Love, can we go tomorrow night or early Saturday? I have a gynecological checkup tomorrow," she pleaded playfully while they were having dinner."No! Pack a suitcase for three days and four nights at the beach.""But if you had it planned, why didn't you tell me in advance?""Aren't you happy with the surprise? If you want to cancel the trip.""Noooo...! You're crazy! Of course, I'm happy to spend a weekend with my husband away from everything. I'm just saying you could have told me earlier so I could start getting my things ready, and you would have our bags ready.""If you're going to complain, the medical appointment can wait until Monday. As for your work, you'll only miss a day, and you can fix that by calling Janna. Today, I managed to arrange for Freed to take charge of the company. Eat up; we're leaving in two hours," he said, cutting a piece of meat and bringing it to his mouth."Alright! But you pack your suitcas

The next day, Lindsey woke up and saw her husband looking at her."Good morning, sleepyhead," he said, running his fingers gently over her cheeks."Good morning, love," she yawned lazily, not wanting to get out of bed."How long have you been awake?""Just a little while.""What are you doing, watching me sleep?""You looked like an angel sleeping, so I stayed admiring your beautiful face.""You're silly. Today is our first anniversary."Kyle grabbed her chin and gave her a soft kiss."Now I can truly tell you that I love you. You're a wonderful woman who slowly entered my heart and gave birth to my life.""I liked you from the first day I saw you shirtless in that bed," she covered her face, trying to hide her blushing cheeks due to the embarrassment caused by her confession."So, you're a pervert who devoured me that day with your eyes.""You looked handsome that day, but changing the subject, Love, do you like seafood? Or are you allergic to any?""I don't have allergies, and whate

She jumped for joy; her heart raced at full speed. She turned around and hung onto his neck, with a grin from ear to ear, she passionately kissed him, then they separated for lack of air.Kyle looked at her excitedly. Many women had been in his apartment's bed, but none surpassed Lin. She brought him peace."You're the most attentive, affectionate, and passionate man I know. I love you too, adore you, and LOVE YOU..." she shouted, emphasizing the last word."You probably mean the only man you know and will have in your life. You'll always be mine."He kissed her, gently caressing her tongue with his. He lifted her in his arms and walked toward a large counter that divided the living room from the kitchen. He sat her there, moved away from her, and cleared everything from the counter. He spread her legs and positioned himself between them. The atmosphere heated up, between wet and exuberant kisses, he whispered in a sexual and immensely deep tone."I'm going to possess every inch of yo

On Sunday, they walked along the beach, playing and caressing each other. They didn't return that day; they wanted to appreciate the sunrise from the shore.In the early morning, they left the house hand in hand and returned to the beach. Sitting on a large rock, they witnessed the first visible lights before the sunrise on the horizon.Exhausted, they returned to the mansion. Lindsey, upon entering the house, went straight to the bedroom and threw herself on the bed."I'm not going to the company. Freed will take care of it. My wife left me exhausted," Kyle whispered ironically, lying down beside her."Now I'm to blame for my insatiable husband. Just let me sleep," she nestled on his chest, closing her eyes.After several hours of rest, they woke up hungry. They left the room and went straight to the kitchen in search of food. As they were in the dining room, they heard a woman speaking. They got up from the table and walked toward the entrance."Good afternoon, Kyle. I'm sorry to co

Lindsey was in her room, crying her eyes out, reminiscent of the last time she cried so deeply. ‘It was when she experienced evil at the hands of her father as a child.’She couldn't believe that the man who made her forget her past and taught her to love was the same one who destroyed that love in a day. ‘How could he cheat on me with Catrina and even have a child involved?’ She was angry with herself for being deeply in love with him, wanted to stop crying and be strong, but her tears flowed uncontrollably like waterfalls in an endless river. Sadness took over her heart, and she wondered.‘Now what do I do? Where do I turn? My happy marriage lasted so little. You're pathetic, Lin! Now I'm going to join the club of cheated, divorced, and lonely women.’Meanwhile, Kyle continued in his office with his head in his hands, pondering. ‘I saw the disappointment in her eyes. I can't lose her. Oh God! What do I tell Lin now? Catrina! Why did you ruin my life? If it turns out she's really pre

Kyle was silent, with no expression on his face. He had no idea of the storm that was brewing with his wife and grandfather.Catrina emerged from the bathroom, laid back on the examination table, and the doctor applied gel to her belly before activating the ultrasound machine.“What you hear is the sound of the heartbeat,” pointing to the screen, the doctor explained. “This point here is the baby, confirmed by the tests. It's four weeks and two days into gestation.”“See, my love, there's our baby. It's beautiful to know that soon, they'll be with us.”Kyle looked at the screen, and his heart raced. He couldn't believe he would soon be a father. It should be the best news of his life, but right now, it's the worst his mind can process. Inside, he thought, ‘Forgive me, baby, for not feeling excitement about your arrival.’The doctor took a soft paper roll and passed it over Catrina's belly, indicating.“You can get changed, ma'am. While I note down the instructions and the vitamins you

Kyle, drenched, observed every move she made. She was ignoring him, so he positioned himself behind her and shouted."Love! Please talk to me, yell at me, say something. I can't stand you ignoring me."Lindsey stood in front of him and calmly stated."Tomorrow I'm leaving your house. A lawyer will bring you the divorce papers for you to sign."Kyle ran his hands through his head, desperate, started pacing back and forth. His greatest fear was coming true. He exclaimed disturbed."No, my love! We can't get divorced, please, don't. I won't give you a divorce; you are mine.""On the table are the proofs of your infidelity. I imagine your lover sent them as a gift to my workplace. With just those photos, a judge will grant us the divorce. Don't worry, I don't want anything from you, just my things."Kyle approached the table and took the photos, trembling, he looked at each one. In the photos, he was with Catrina from the event until he entered his room. "Damn woman," he exclaimed mentall

Months earlier, Lindsey had found out where her maternal grandmother was living. She was planning to visit her, but the trip got expedited.Upon arriving at Peretola Airport, she took a taxi on the outskirts of Florence. The driver dropped her off at the address she provided—a 75-year-old woman was waiting for her at the entrance of the villa."Grandma! Is it you?" she recognized the lady with white hair."My beloved granddaughter, aren't you going to give a hug to this poor old lady?"Lindsey ran into her grandmother's arms, excited to see her after many years. She could feel her grandmother's caresses in her hair, and the scent of jasmine filled her nostrils, reminding her of her mother."Granny! I thought you had forgotten me.""Of course not, my child. I missed you as much as your mom. How many times I longed to caress your hair.""I missed you so much, Granny. You have no idea how comforting it is to be in your arms like when I was a child," she whispered while shedding tears on

Catrina is petrified; it's the first time he has mistreated her. Sobbing, she shouts,"How can you believe your grandfather? Our baby is only a day old; DNA tests take weeks to deliver results. Your grandfather never wanted me in his family, and he'll find a way to discredit me."With narrowed eyes, the old man watches the scene."Catrina! With money, things can be expedited. Kyle, if you want, you can redo the DNA test here or at any laboratory. Before doing this test, my dear grandson, I conducted a series of investigations. You'd be surprised to know who the father of that child is."Enraged, Kyle glances at his grandfather."Spit it out already.""The father of that child is your cousin Maximiliano. That week in Paris, he stayed at the same hotel as you. After this harpy left your room, she went to the hotel bar and met womanizer Maximiliano. The time he spent in Paris, she spent it with him. Your cousin is already on his way. That heartless one has already received my insults for
