The lie has very short legs (I)
Although he was angry with Sara and his attitude was that of ‘someone with very few friends’, the truth is that having her back home, safe and sound, was something that Carlos appreciated and celebrated. The nightmare was not yet over, but at least now he could breathe better, seeing her outside that cell. Although in her immaturity, she compared the annex with a new prison, the truth is that it was only a matter of taking responsibility, paying her debt with justice and she would live in full freedom. It hurt him to leave her alone and to have to behave in such a distant and cold way with her when what he wanted was to solve the problems and make peace. He would have stayed with Sara the rest of the day, pampering her, making her feel loved and safe, more after all she had suffered at the hands of that corrupt and degenerate Lizarango. He wanted her to understand that he was for her and not against her, which she often forgot.

“Do you think it's just that? Of whether or not you went to La Ciudadela? Of your virginity?” He looked at her like he was looking for a million answers in Sara's eyes, in the end, and finding nothing, he just smiled in frustration, gave up on what he was trying to do and walked away again, ready to go.“Carlos, please don’t go!”“I just fired Renata.” He spoke without showing any kind of emotion or feeling in his voice, while Sara was surprised to hear him since she did not imagine him saying goodbye to who for so many years had been his right hand in the bar.“Renata?”“Do you want to know why?” He paused. “Simple, because I can't trust her anymore, I can't trust someone who can sell even her soul for pennies.” Sara reflected immediat

Sara was outside, sitting in front of the garden that divided the main house from the small annex, drinking a coffee, wanting to change her surroundings, breathing fresh air, bored, alone. Thanking for the help she received to regain her freedom, but at the same time feeling so miserable to have no one to talk to. She hated being alone, she missed her mother Rosa, her brother Alex, whom she still couldn't see, although her mother had told her that he was fine, that the authorities were reviewing his case and that he would probably be free very soon.It was Sunday and Jean Pierre arrived at the bar much earlier than usual, to do a pending job. Sara, who had not had any contact with anyone in the Mon'tblank, since that night when she lost her freedom, as soon as she saw him arrive, she ran to greet him and hug him.She couldn't help her heart leaping with excitement when she s

“Gina, right?”She didn't need any answer, the Frenchman's single glance said it all.Jean Pierre, who knew what was happening at the bar, tried to keep Sara calm and, above all, away from problems. She remained silent, but it was obvious how upset she was. She hated herself for taking so long to decide to enter the bar, so the witch had gone ahead.What the hell am I doing sitting in this corner like a perfect loser? She reproached herself. She came to that place turned into a lioness, but as soon as she learned that she was relegated, she began to feel like a cowardly cat who fears a miserable mouse.How many hours had she invested to look moderately pretty in Carlos's eyes? Even she had worn that dress that a coworker had given her when she first arrived at the Mon'tblank, which she believ

Sara was in the middle of her last week of community work, abide by all the rules, and although she lived convinced that when she obtained her total freedom, she should leave and forget about Carlos, she recognized that between thinking about it and doing it there was a great gulf of difficulty. On several occasions, Carlos approached and tried to resume the conversation from that night, but she made it clear that her decision was already made and flatly rejected any exchange between them, now it was Sara who raised the emotional barrier, but higher and impenetrable than ever.Although at first glance the blue-eyed seemed serene, the truth was that with the passing of the days he had begun to despair and although it was the last week of the service, Sara still had to wait a few more days, until she formally obtained her complete freedom, so he had decided to take advantage of every minute to recover the love o

After several days, he finally received a call from Officer Ramirez.“I have news of young Alexander Gonzalez, unfortunately, they are not good at all.”The last thing Carlos wanted, the last thing that could go through his mind was having to give Sara bad news, he huffed and closed his eyes while he massaged his temples a little, feeling a strong pressure on his chest, knowing that pain and sadness it was what she least needed at this moment. He continued listening, and while Ramirez spoke, everything was getting worse.“As you well know, the young man had been released after the authorities reviewed several of the cases handled by that commissioner.” He paused almost forcing. “The detail is that … we have a body, unclaimed, in the morgue of a community near Pueblo Soreno, whose characteristics completely coinc

One afternoon, Sara could not bear it any longer, took advantage of a small distraction from Carlos, verified that her documents and some money were in her purse, before leaving the annex without a definite course. She felt drowned within those four walls, she needed to walk, breathe, cry, scream. The image of Alex in that morgue was not erased from her mind, she had very difficult events throughout her life, but this surpassed her and, as much as she sought it, she did not find a way to recover. Alex was always a care and protection provider when she needed him, but as soon as the roles were reversed, she abandoned him, he died alone, maybe he felt betrayed, mocked … that's why he committed suicide.She walked non-stop and without a destination for many minutes … maybe too many, at some point she felt disoriented, the tears and nerves were not very helpful, they did not allow her to concentrate.

The next morning, Carlos left very early to buy various things he needed and when he returned, without wasting time, he went directly to the annex. Sara was just waking up and although she was feeling a little calmer, she hadn't slept much the night before, so she wasn't in the mood to get out of bed that morning, but hearing noises in the kitchen forced her to get up and go to investigate.“Good morning princess, how are you feeling?”“Good morning.” She answered hesitantly, still half asleep, repeatedly rubbing her eyes to clear her vision, as she was too intrigued to see the amount of bags and things Carlos had brought with him, which he had left on the kitchen island while he organized them and selected one or another pan from the cabinet that was in the corner.Although he had a full set of keys to the place, it was unu

“Can I ask you something?” Carlos looked at her with a soft smile on his lips and nodded. “Can you kiss me like the other day?” Carlos didn't ask for which day, but from the way Sara caught his lips, he could only remember her just getting out of the bathroom, wrapped in that tiny white towel with little drops of water sliding all over her skin.He couldn't contain himself any longer, the kisses, although deep, had a slow start, but little by little the passion was increasing. He moved away a little, bringing his forehead back to hers, trying to breathe and, above all, to regain his sanity a bit, he knew that Sara was very vulnerable and perhaps it was not the best moment, but when he feel the softness of her lips, remember her sweet taste and breathe in the delicious perfume of her hair, all his skin prickled and drove him crazy to the point of suppressing his thoughts and annulling his rationa
