Courney took slow steps, wishing they would last forever; her heart raced with each approach to the table. With her gaze lowered, she positioned herself in front of the men who were engaged in conversation."Welcome, gentlemen. What would you like to drink?""Friends, let me introduce you to the little chick I mentioned," Cesar leered at her, while the other two men eyed her hungrily. "Life is funny. I met you with an air of superiority, and now I have you in front of me with your gaze lowered, working to attend to men.""Cesar! I promise to pay the money I owe you. Give me a few months to gather it, and I'll hand it over in full. As I mentioned before, my family lost everything, and this is the only job I could find.""I don't believe in promises! Don't worry, I know a better way for you to pay. Come and please me."A chill ran down Courney's spine."I won't sell my body! If you're looking for pleasure, I can send some girls who will gladly satisfy your needs," she said with fear in

The long-awaited day arrived for Lindsey and Kyle. She was happy, even though they had already been married, it wasn't as pleasant for both of them; now, it felt like they could truly celebrate out of love.She had asked her grandfather Hugo if he could walk her down the aisle. Since she didn't have a father to represent her, who better than the man who had shown her affection that she never experienced in her family.Grandpa Hugo was excited about giving his granddaughter away at the altar. Lindsey was ready, and her friends were there with her."Stop crying, Luan, you're going to make me cry on my wedding day," Lindsey exclaimed while looking at herself in the mirror."But you look so beautiful. I have so many mixed emotions. I love weddings, and I know it's challenging for someone like me," Luan said through tears.Stefany hugged him from behind. This extroverted and demanding friend of theirs never hesitated when it came to supporting the couples."The right one will come, brother

Kyle rushed into the room and threw his beloved wife onto the bed. He observed her white dress, snug to her body with a structured cut."Love! Is that dress you're wearing too daring?""Well, you're not going to tell me how to dress. It's better that you let me go. I want to enjoy my wedding," she said, getting up and taking firm steps past him to leave the room.Kyle blinked several times; it seemed like a big fight was approaching. However, he was content; after every fight, reconciliation is more exciting."Where are you going? It's our wedding night, and I want to enjoy my wife," he said with a dangerous tone, startling Lindsey.She had one hand on the doorknob, removed it upon hearing that voice, turned, and opened her mouth to respond. However, plump lips pressed against hers dominantly, enveloping her like a volcano in eruption.Excitement was building inside her, causing waves of pleasure throughout her body. Her intimate part throbbed with desire as he savored her tongue. Her

“Let me go!" she shouted, nerves on edge. At first, Stefany was terrified, but when she perceived that slight and fresh citrus aroma, her legs trembled."Calm down! Since you're avoiding me, this is the only way I found for us to talk," he entered the room and locked the door. The handsome, dark-haired man in front of him had an intoxicating aura. Since he started living in the same house as her, those honey-colored eyes had enchanted him."You are my boss! I don't understand why the audacity to bring me here?" she said, timid and a bit flushed, by the handsome man with intense blue eyes like the ocean.Maximiliano couldn't find a way to explain to Stefany that he tricked her into signing a marriage certificate. Besides, he was going crazy every time he encountered her in the same environment. He wondered what her moans would sound like during sex and had been like a damn pervert dreaming about her. After he discovered her past, a fury grew in him. He couldn't believe so much malice a

“What kind of game is this, Maximiliano? I want an explanation! Why am I married to you? When did I get married? I haven't signed anything," she quickly grabbed the other paper and also started reading. Her gaze focused on the part that said: "Stefany Daniela Gutiérrez de Miller, mother of the minor Max Miller Gutiérrez." The documents fell from their hands due to the shock.Maximiliano approached, picked up the documents, and put them away. He sat beside her and began to explain."I'll start from the beginning. Since I arrived in Manhattan, I haven't slept with any woman because, believe it or not, I fell in love with you. Have I been promiscuous? Yes, I have! When I was 23, I was about to get married, but my fiancée left me standing at the altar. She never showed up, and later, I found out she was seeing two men at the same time. At that moment, I didn't hate her for leaving me for someone else; I hated her for not telling me before the wedding and for leaving me standing there like

After the celebration, a couple found themselves in an apartment, engaging in wild sex. They called themselves friends with benefits; in front of others, they pretended to be indifferent, but when one of them wanted to be used in bed, the other would come to their encounter.That night, Lindsey slept curled up to Kyle's body, not untangling even though she was deeply asleep. She was exhausted from the marathon of sex the day before. Kyle, on the other hand, woke up only to admire her and adjust her on his chest, watching how she clung to his body when he moved, intending to make her more comfortable.The next day, Kyle felt the door opening, and he quickly covered his wife. A small figure entered."Hello, Dad! Why haven't you come down for breakfast with us?" a confident little voice babbled.Two little heads peeked through the door.Lindsey, upon hearing Lucas, opened her eyes abruptly and felt embarrassed, separating from Kyle."Kids! How did you sleep in your new rooms? Dad and Mom

Jimena arrived at the hospital, and when she entered the room, she found Courtney lost in her thoughts and in tears. She approached and hugged her tightly."I know it's tough, but I'm here to support you."Courtney had pronounced dark circles under her eyes; she hadn't slept at all. Every time she closed her eyes, the nightmare repeated itself like a video playing on a loop."Thank you, Mrs. Jimena," a weak voice struggled to come out of her throat."Just call me Jimena, dear. The doctor informed me that they'll discharge you in three days. I want to suggest that you come with me to a children's home. I'm the director there, and those kids can help you cope with your pain unless you have another place to go.""I'll be a burden there. I am nothing now. I don't know what to do with what's left of me." She hadn't stopped crying since the assault; her heart was shattered by pain, and her body still showed signs of her misfortune."Don't say that! You are a strong girl, and you'll get thro

Catrina arrived at Pratt Enterprises with an air of superiority, not bothering to greet anyone. She stood in front of the president's secretary and stated:"I have an appointment with Mr. Kyle. Can you let him know I'm here?"Rebeca rolled her eyes upon seeing her and, without wasting time, called her boss. After receiving confirmation, she said:"Mrs. Cooper, Mr. Kyle will see you. You may go in."Catrina entered the room with elegance and approached the large desk, sitting in front of the man who was looking at his computer screen."Dear Kyle, still as handsome as ever," her voice was sensual and enticing to any man.Upon hearing her speak, Kyle narrowed his eyes in annoyance. This woman was trouble. He spoke with a harsh tone:"Speak! What have you come for?""Kyle, it's a pleasure to see you again. I'm here for business. Our companies in collaboration can dominate the global market."Kyle raised his gaze with a warning look."I'm not interested in being part of your business. If y

Lindsey, with the help of her friends, located a psychologist. When they arrived, Jimena explained the situation to the poor girl. Carlota entered to assess Courtney's mental state, but she didn't stay asleep for long."The diagnosis is acute depressive disorder, a result of post-traumatic stress," explained Carlota to Lindsey, handing her a prescription. "Buy this sedative; it will help her relax a bit. She'll need therapy.""What will the therapy be like?" Lindsey responded with nostalgia."Once a week, I'm available on Thursdays at 2 pm. I can come to attend to her personally until she improves and can come to my office.""Doctor, that sounds perfect. I'll contact you to arrange your fees. I leave my sister in your hands. Thank you, Doctor.""I'm here to help. That girl went through something terrible. The best medicine is time, support, and the love you can give her."Jimena recommended leaving her at the orphanage. Lindsey peeked into the room and saw her lying on the bed. She en

In the Pratt mansion's room, Lindsey nestled into her husband's chest, sobbing. She began recounting her reunion with her sister and the deplorable state she found her in."My little doll, we're all here to support you. You know you can count on me for anything you need," he reassured her."Yes, dear, I know that," she lifted her face, and he captured her lips. A passion war had begun, and both were in the peak of their marriage.A month passed. A woman was perplexed in her apartment, holding a pregnancy test in her hand. She didn't know what to do, and tears started flowing freely.Janna had no partner, only a person who turned to her when either of them needed the warmth of the other. She didn't know how to define their relationship; there were no rules or jealousy. In the outside world, they were like strangers, but within the intimacy of four walls, they shared even their deepest secrets.She threw herself on the bed, reminiscing about how her sexual life started two years ago.Ja
