The humid air of this city invades my senses. I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and try to understand what exactly I feel. Am I able to move on as if nothing had happened? Can I turn the page? I want to do it. That is the truth, but there is a long journey from enjoying to being able.
The noise of my heels echoes on the sidewalk, marking the tempo of my hurried steps, and I feel like I'm trying to run away from something. I still don't know if it is from Lucas or my guilt when I feel something for him despite his damage to me.
"Sienna," I hear Lucas yell, but I ignore him.
I accelerate my steps. I fear that if Lucas reaches me, I will fall under the power of his blue eyes. I'm afraid it will convince me.
“Please, Sienna!” He yells again. A slope on the sidewalk makes my heel hook, and I fall to the ground.
"Shit!" I exclaim angrily when I see that I have injured my knee.
"Are you okay?!" he tells me as Lucas kneels in front of

32. In equal conditions
"You refused so much to receive help, and they had to sew up the wound on your knee and you have a sprained ankle," Lucas scolds me when we are already outside my house.I try not to look at him. After all, I don't want to admit that he was right because I'm afraid of giving in. "Yes, but you've played dumb about the proposal I made to you," I answer, trying to convince him to do something against Raúl.I hear him take a deep breath, and I dare to look at him this time. His eyes on me make my stomach go rock hard. Am I nervous? "I think you should let me take care of that," he tells me.I deny immediately and daringly. I raise my hand and caress his face making him keep his gaze on me. "No, this is not just your business. That man has made you and I hate each other. He has pretended to be my father and if He did that to your sister, I don't want to imagine what he's capable of "I speak honestly.His look, now, is very different. It's as if the
33. A New Start?
Monday again, and with it my return to the office. This weekend, I talked to my father about the possibility of searching for a new job outside the company. I have not told him that it would be in Raúl Sandoval's company. I explained to him that I needed to make my way, and as always, he said to me that he would support me in whatever my decision was.As I walk through the company's corridors, I can't help but think that my father is genuinely considerate of me on some matters. Somehow, I have managed very well to convince him of my false message of "I need you to let me be."Immediately, the course of my thoughts changes when I arrive in front of my office door, the one I share with Lucas. Since the kiss we gave each other on Saturday, we haven't spoken, and I'm unsure what his silence means. Has he decided to leave everything behind? Or has he not wanted to bother me?I take courage to open the office door. I try to maintain my "have everything under co
34. What He didn't tell me that night
This morning I have had three meetings, and I have not been able to concentrate on them. Balance sheets, projections, and strategies have been meaningless conversations to me. I could only think of how Lucas and I have kissed, and I have felt my skin burning as I remember his strong hands running over my arms, neck, cheeks.Concentrate, Sienna! I yelled at myself inside but to no avail. My gaze meets his, and I lose myself again in that sea of emotions. "That's all" I listen to Juan, who ends the meeting.I take a deep breath and try to hide everything I feel as I stand up and walk out of the meeting room. I must concentrate on my plan and start it, try to enter Raúl Sandoval's company and work for him. However, my attempt to focus on all that cancels when I feel his hand grip my arm. "I think you and I should talk, right?" he tells me softly, and I try not to smile.I look at him and melt. Those blue eyes have incredible power over me "d
35. A Path Through Fear
In my mind, there is such great confusion that I do not even know how to begin to clarify it. I hear Paola saying everything Lucas had told her about me has been one of the most shocking revelations. Everything she has told me is true; The night we met, he was just as drawn to me as I was to him.It would be incredible to go back in time and for our story to begin today. I desire to accept Luca's proposal, be his girlfriend, and let myself go. Still, I am also afraid that the ghosts of the past will return when we try to be together.Finally, we say goodbye to Paola and then go to the car. I don't know what to say or what to do. Will it be right to start over? Will I be able to do it?I think about the words my father has told me many times, and I suppose this is where I should apply his advice."Daughter, to be brave is not the absence of fear. To be brave is to be afraid, but to find a way through it."My father used to say that phrase f
36. Secret Love
The way back to the office has been very different. Lucas entwined his hand with mine, kissed my knuckles every chance he's had, and that incredibly sensual smile steals more of a sigh. He is insanely handsome, not to mention that every time he talks to me with that Italian accent, I lose my mind.He parks the car safely from the company's entrance and looks at me "how do you want to make it Bella?" he asks me, and I love that word when he says it."What do you mean?" I ask, a bit confused.Those eyes."Shall we tell your father now? Or do you want us to have dinner with him at your house and tell him the news?" he asks me, and I don't know how he will take all this.I unbuckle my seat belt, sit on my side, and look into his eyes. "Lucas, I don't want my father to find out yet," I dare tell him. Now he is the one who looks at me quite confused."But why?" he asks, almost as if I insulted him.I fully understand how he must be
37. Plan Underway

Our secret kisses at the office, the "lunch outings," and the messages between the two of us; It has made Friday seem too far away.However, today I must stop thinking about that, or at least for the next hour because it is time to ask Raúl Sandoval for a job, and I need to be focused. He must give me that job, mainly because I will become his executive assistant if I get it.Upon arrival, I look around me, and I can't believe I'm at the front desk of one of Miami's dirtiest businessmen. I know that getting here is like being in the wolf's mouth. However, it is necessary to clear my father's name and make Lucas's family finally able to find justice in some way or another."Sienna Damianni?" asks a female voice. I admit that I have a hard time identifying myself because no one has called me by my mother's last name for a long time.I get up fro
38. Rewrite our history

I know that later I must have an intense chat with him but, for now, it is not the time. Tonight, is a significant one because it is my long-awaited date with Lucas, the man with blue eyes who has managed to drive me crazy since the first night I saw him.I don't want to think about Raúl and his unmistakable degenerate face, my father, and his questioning about my new job. I want to think about Lucas, me, and this night that awaits us. Just thinking about his kisses, my cheeks take an even redder color than my dress. I don't know what Lucas has prepared for us today, but if he told me, it would be special.After shifting my things from one bag to another, I check my lipstick one more time, finally leaving my room.

Dinner has been exquisite, and the conversation as well. At this moment, everything is a little different because his hand holds mine as we both walk through the house. We already saw the first level. It's time to go upstairs to see the rooms.I feel like my heart is beating too fast. It might seem that today will be my first time with a man, but I know it is not.

However, today is different because I have never felt like this with someone.I see Lucas open one of the doors as he tells me about the incredible view in this guest room, but I can't focus on anything he says. Lucas turns to see me with those blue eyes and asks me in a whisper, "what's wrong Sienna?"I take a deep breath. "I'm nervous," I admit and laugh at my own words.Lucas smiles at my silly way of acting and stands in front of me. His eyes analyze me while his hands slowly caress my
