— I'll see later. — I whispered, still tense from what I said. — Until what time will the body be available? — I looked at Scott, who was watching so no one saw us.— Until dinner; It's the moment when everyone is in here and people carry the body.I nodded.It passed me and headed inside. I saw him disappear down the corridors and then I headed towards the room. I didn't know what was coming, but the bad feeling in my chest was already present.I tried to put it out of my mind immediately, I wouldn't worry Kaanadan right after a confrontation.He arrived a few hours later, going straight to the bathroom. Visually, with the suit neatly ironed without a single stain, it seemed intact, as if nothing had actually happened since the morning. But, as I got up from the armchair and followed him to the bathroom, I saw his jacket being removed, leaving a glimpse of his white shirt soaked in blood, torn in several parts, and finished with marks that reveal the bloody day.His eyes were s

Two days have passed since what happened to Gael. Which is still a subject that doesn't leave my mind, especially with Kaanadan's reaction. At first I thought it was silly jealousy, but after going over it so much in my mind... no, that's paranoia.But why did he suddenly tense up? It was as if...I'm taken out of my thoughts by Kaanadan's voice in the room, apparently on the cell phone. The tone is not at all calm, which makes me hasten to rinse my mouth and dry it with a towel, before leaving the bathroom.He has one hand in the pocket of his black dress pants. Facing the window, his back is defined in his white dress shirt without the presence of a suit. His other hand holds his cell phone, where he says something in Italian, as he does most lately.Soon the call ends and he snorts, rubbing his forehead with three fingers.— God, it's not even nine o'clock. — I comment, making him turn to me.Kaanadan articulates his face in agreement. — I wish I had time to find problems.I

I blink a few times, finding the brightness strange. A sound similar to a whistle, it constantly sounds and pauses as if it were a device. My head hurts, but I force myself to wake up, noticing some beige armchairs in the corners of the white-walled room. I look at myself, seeing my arm stretched out on the bed with something connected to the vein, I follow my gaze until it begins and then I realize that I am taking a serum, and thus, I remember the nausea, the fight, the appearance, the cause of this consequence.A little dizzy, I sit on the bed. I rub my forehead and see the door open.— Celeste? — I see Damiano and apprehensively he comes to me. — God, are you crazy about making an effort? Lay down. — He says and holds me to make me follow his request, but I deny it.- I am fine.— Oh sure, it’s clear on your face. — We looked at each other and I let out a tired look, going back to bed.In a way, the relief when I lay down is very clear. I touch my throat, the act of speaking

Invaded by his hot kisses, we staggered into the penthouse. A quick thought before Kaanadan attacked me right there in the restaurant. The lights were all off, I heard the elevator doors close and lock with the security key. The only light that gave us support to walk around the house was certainly the glimpses of the city lights and other apartments around.Kaanadan almost made me forget why we were in this. His kisses are already perfect, but I must admit that when you're not afraid to give in to your desires, even my senses say goodbye.His tongue was already pulling mine with such ferocity that my body was already on fire, if not the very replica of a volcano about to erupt. I didn't even see when my bag disappeared from my hands and I was lying on the couch, feeling his sexy body on top of mine.Put some order, Celeste, or you'll be the one being bribed here...I hold Kaanadan's face and move our lips a few inches apart. — Calm down, okay... I almost feel like I'm going to ru

I'm still drowsy when I return to my room after taking delivery from the bakery next to the building. As much as I slept, I can't say in detail that I slept as normal every night — perhaps I didn't sleep at all — ... but I also can't say that I didn't like it...As soon as I enter the room, I see Kaanadan's suit set already placed on the armchair in the corner of the room, which I assume as soon as he leaves the bathroom, he won't think much about getting dressed and going back to work. I head towards where he is, seeing him as soon as I approach the door, he is facing the mirror while shaving himself.Standing out in the black bathroom, he doesn't remove the full beard that shapes his face, he just trims the ends and, with the shaving machine, cleans some of the hair on the way to his neck. His bare torso having just gotten out of the shower and the towel wrapped around his hips makes him very attractive to the eyes. I must admit that looking at Kaanadan, even with his brutal struc

KAANADAN SALVATORE- You did what???Victório's voice sounds on the call. Amazed. Petrified. Incredulous, perhaps.— I beat him. — I say calmly. — I beat him until he shut up and his blood stained my floor. But I left him alive... I think.In my office, that is, in the middle of the night, I adjust myself in the armchair carefully so as not to hurt as much as my injuries already did. I had already showered, changed my clothes for something less tight and closed myself in the work room while I was sure everyone in the house had already fallen asleep.I don't really know what happened to Celeste during the time I was away, either at the company, or at the casino, or just at the hospital finishing the last aid for the cuts; but as soon as I arrived, she was already asleep, along with everyone who only left the hallway light on for me.Victório sighs on the other end of the call and says:— Kaanadan, this will only make things worse...- He came here. — I say firmly, tapping my fi

The car stopped in the middle of the lawn in front of the house. A two-story house, a cliché rich country house, with a super green lawn right at the entrance — with trees in each corner and plants beautifying each place —, dark varnished wood climbing the area, highlighting the white walls and rustic windows, different on the second floor, where they are made of glass.I leave quickly, without even a trace of tears and a wide smile to meet Gina. We hugged tightly, as if somehow she could protect me from my father, even though she didn't even know it.As we walked away, we looked at each other; your hands touching my face with a maternal touch.— Ah, Heaven... you are so beautiful. — He says, as if I had actually changed a lot during these months. — She's just pale.I shake my head, feeling Santiago's gaze from afar. —Bullshit, Gina. Back in Washington I barely got any sun... I think that affects my known color here.We laugh.- Good! —Say, we turn around. — We're waiting for yo
Cruel Heart 56
— On August 19, 2007, Celeste Brandão de Carvalho Savoia was found dead in the backyard of her home. All the expertise led to the conclusion of a fall from the window, from the second floor to the place where the body was found. The case was closed with the conclusion of a possible suicide, which was confirmed by the husband present at the scene and the couple's second eldest daughter, also present. Some new information made us reopen the case, that's why we're here... we want to know everything that happened, everything you remember about what happened in that house 14 years ago.The voice of the police officer in charge of the case rings out through the large room occupied by just the two of us. Everything is tense, especially because today I had the same conversation as yesterday with my father...I tap my thumbs together on my lap, trying to keep my breathing at least calm. Well, I think this is a bit impossible to be... but I try. I take a deep breath and exhale lightly, leavin
