Chapter 23

Santos Torialba

The golden sun shone through the beautiful curtain, and when I opened my eyes, Cynthia's hand was wrapped around me. It was an indescribable sensation. It's only been three weeks since Cynthia accepted me, and everything has gone swimmingly for the two of us. Waking up to see her around me has become a habit, and I crave her whenever I sleep alone in bed.

I'm confident that with Cynthia by my side, I'll be able to defeat my father just as I did the day of the engagement. When I introduced Cynthia as the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with, his partner and Laura were shocked. Except for my stepmom, who was the mastermind behind everything, everyone else was surprised. Damn, she did a fantastic job.

I couldn't help but fall deeper in love with the girl lying beside me. She is nothing but lovely. Gently I kissed her on the cheek and removed the duvet from my body about to stand up from the bed when she grip her hand tightly on my waist.
