I am attracted to her not only because she's sexy or because she caused me to be hypnotized because of her seductive beauty, but because my heart was telling me that Valentina and I were connected even before—because she is my wife. I'm in my car right now, thinking about what Sabrina told me. Valerie made her life very private after I dumped her. My phone made a sound, disturbing my deep thinking about my wife. “Hello, Martin. What's the news?”“Sir, it's really bad news. It's like, in the blink of an eye, our clients retreated together. They say they have found a new supplier of arms. They even said that what that supplier produces is more durable.”“What?! Martín, this can't be! Who is their supplier?!”“I don't know, sir. After they backed out of the deal, they blocked our social media accounts and even the numbers we use to communicate with them.”I sighed heavily. This is definitely my karma because of the people who were killed by the illegal weapons that I produced. I just fe
I am on my way home from my office. On the way, I often peeked outside because I wished to see Valerie walking on the sidewalks or maybe sitting on the steel chairs on the side of the street. Suddenly, a car blocked the way. It's a good thing because I braked immediately. Otherwise we would have collided, which could have caused an accident. I got out of the car to see who shamelessly blocked in front of me. A familiar face flashed before my eyes, looking at me straight to my soul. What I felt was not anger but fear that he would ask where his daughter was. He was in a red suit, and the way he walked at me caused my knees to shiver. Why do I become like this? Why did all the courage I gathered since they fired me from their company and imprisoned me for a sin I did not commit suddenly disappear? “Mister Suarez, it's good to meet you.”“What do you need from me, Mister Wills? I gave you what you wanted. You got a lot of money from me. I guess there's no reason for us to meet and di
I was sitting at a table in a popular restaurant. The whole place was closed because the McLadels had booked a reservation with them yesterday. Madame McLadel must be so glad because of the wealth she has now. If it wasn't because of her niece, she wouldn't have experienced this luxurious life that she enjoys. Her company was just a dust before; other investors even disliked it, but look at her now; her self-esteem is high, like that of Signor Suarez when I first managed his company. Yes, it was already high, but it became more fragrant to the investors because of me. And we'll see where Signor Suarez will take his pride if I leave him to build my family. I yawned while stretching my legs under the table. I've been waiting here for a while, but the McLadels are yet to arrive. It's really different when people are so rich; they think they are the most important people. I looked at the watch on my left wrist. I just shook my head when I saw that it was 8:30 PM; they said the meeting w
“Martin! It was her! She really is Valentina in the nightclub! And probably she is my wife!”I almost jumped for joy while telling Martin what happened. I can't really measure the happiness in my heart right now. “I'm freaking happy, Martin! I don't know how to describe my happiness when I saw her! I almost lost myself and ran to her and hugged her so tight!”“It's really obvious that you're happy, sir,” Martin said, smiling sincerely as he looked at me. I've been walking around my office for a while now, trying, consumed by the happiness I feel.“How could it not be, Martin?! It was her! I was eager to hold her face and hug her while telling her that she doesn't need to wear a mask in front of me. She can hurt me without hiding behind her mask. I will wholeheartedly accept a slap, punch, or bad words from her because I had committed a great sin against her then.”“Yeah.” He gulped the drink inside his glass. “But sorry to cut down your happiness, sir. I'll just remind you that even
—Valerie Wills—I was smiling, but my eyes were on fire as I stared at the mirror and watched how I removed the mask I was wearing. I was a prisoner of my husband, mistreated and not showered with even the slightest bit of love. My death at his hands is what made me free—why I'm here and living behind this mask. A few years have passed since I was the imprisoned and battered wife of Eldifonso, but now that I am free from his devil hands, I will not let him take the chance to breathe loosely. My admiration for him turned to anger and hatred, and that is why I pretended to be Madame McLadel's niece. I will never forget what my husband did to me. Despite the love I gave him, he returned it to me with cruelty. In the month of my giving birth to my son that he denied me now, he injected me with drugs until my whole body stiffened and I lost consciousness. He even let a doctor undergo a caesarean procedure on me for his own interests. He didn't want me to be with my child and deprived me
A few people were walking around the distance. A man pulled me. He is strong; that's why he forced me to go with him. He made me lean against the familiar Audi. I pushed back the strands of my hair, which made me unable to see this man's face. My heart suddenly beat faster when I saw the face of the man who was my customer at the nightclub. He was the one who spent pages of dollars just to be with me, but nothing happened to us because if my personal reasons. Gladly, he never forced me to have sex with him. He was gentle, calm, and hot; that's why I cut off our relationship earlier before I totally fall for him. I don't want my attraction to him to take root. “Valentina, it's good, and I've seen you. Don't you know that I go back and forth to the nightclub but I can't see you there.” He looked away for a moment. “Sabrina said that you have left and are not coming back. He doesn't know where you live. It's really hard for you to be caught.”“Eli Madrigal, I told you that we should c
“Eli Madrigal?”It was too late when I was able to hide the card that Eli gave me from auntie, and she caught me wearing a wide smile. “Auntie…”“Is he the man you told about who spent a large amount of money to be with you? He purchased you, doubling your price.”“Yes, auntie. It was him. I hate it because he always follows me. I thought that he wouldn't look for me anymore, but he told me that he looked for me everywhere.”“Hate it? Really?”“Y-Yes, auntie. Who is happy if there is someone like him? Even if you told him not to follow you anymore and look for you, he doesn't give up; he is still constantly sniffing anywhere just to see me.”She held my cheek, slowly guiding my face, making me look at her. “It's not hate that I see in your eyes, sweetie. What I see is Eli Madrigal’s effect on you. Ever since you were hanging out at the nightclub, you've always told me about him, even though you've only met a few times.”“Auntie, I feel hate when he follows me.”“Alright. Lie as you
Auntie and I were on the balcony, drinking coffee, talking about my phone conversation with Eldifonso a few nights ago. I told her everything—how happy I was to talk to my child—and I told the child that I was his mother. Then Foval called me mommy and said he loved me. Hope is alive in my heart because of our conversation with my son. I have full confidence in myself that I can convince Foval to come with me and leave his devil father. “Are you sure of your decision, sweetie? Are you really ready to reveal your face to your husband?”“I have no doubt in my heart, auntie. I am sure about this, and I know that he will be surprised.”“Isn't it too early for you to take off your mask, sweetie?”“I can't wait any longer to get my son, auntie. So I have to do it. I will fight for my rights for my child. What Eldifonso did to me was wrong. He will face my wrath.”“It's up to you to decide what to do, my dear. As long as you watch over every step you take, be careful,” auntie said sadly and
I was tired of fighting, shouting, and making noise, because my son had opened his senses about his surroundings. I didn't want Foval to hear Eldifonso and I shouting at each other. He trusted his uncle Eli and I didn't want this to break his heart. My son's heart is too young to break. “Let's talk deeply, Amore. I don't want to ruin what we have.”“First of all, you say we have been together for a long time. But that's useless now! You are my ex-husband and I am not going to remember what we had. Secondly, you pretended to be someone else in front of me to trick me and fool me. Eli Madrigal was my loved one, but not Eldifonso Suarez. But I am shattered knowing both of them are fake!”“Eldifonso Suarez and Eli Madrigal are the same. If Eli is fake, the man wearing a mask is more fake. All the habits he has, he has to study because he is not true. He should make himself the man of power and should make people afraid of him.”“I don't need an explanation from you, Eldifonso! If and on
I slapped myself because of what I found out. How could I let the same man repeatedly fool me? Damn it! I didn't even save myself when he first fooled me, showing that he was interested in me, but his purpose was to take revenge on my parents. I thought of Eli as someone who could save me from being broken. I thought of him as someone could pick me up from the downfall Eldifonso Suarez caused.After a while I heard many knocks outside the door. I was afraid to open the door, making me look at the corner, letting my tears pour like raindrops. “Amore! What happened?! I saw you earlier when I turned around, I called you but you seemed unable to hear my call. Why? Do we have a problem?”What he just said? Did he really think I hadn't heard that he was talking to James? I heard what he said! But I still do not want to believe that he loves me. He tortured me emotionally and physically, eventually loving me was not what I was seeing. It was all his satisfaction he had to fill. To me, h
He guided his length, positioned it in the middle of my thighs. Slowly, he pulled it up until his hard below head knocked on the entrance of my vagina.He was big, but I know I can handle his size due to missing him so bad. My vagina was producing its natural lube, making me confident that it wouldn't really hurt. “Amore, I’m taking it in now.”“Oh, Eli! Come on. Take it in.”He followed, satisfying my deepest fantasy. My eyes were like the stars in heaven, twinkling like I had seen the moon. Both of my hands were pushing through the wall. His big hands were now holding my waist as his thighs were moving slowly, catching the best beat of our making love under the shower. Both of our eyes were feeling really horny, we called upon the names of our ancestors as we were both panting, figuring out where parts of our body were really itched. “Amore, I miss you like the heavens were separated from the land, wanting to feel its caress.”“So was I, Eli.”When we are fed up with that positi
My parents gave me a tight hug when I told them I was about to enter the airport. “Make sure to call us every time.”“Yes, Daddy. I will make sure of that. ”I looked at mommy. I saw how tears flowed from her eyes. I can't stop myself from feeling homesick even when my parents are in front of me. I was holding mommy's hands, but it was as if I was back when I was a kid that I had to leave daddy and her for my studies abroad. “Mommy, take care of yourself. Take care of Daddy too. I love you two so much. ”“We love you too, Val. There’s no container that would be enough for the love we have for you. Send my regards to my grandson, as well as to Eli. ”“Sure, mommy.”Once again my parents locked me in the middle of their arms, hugging me tightly so I took a deep breath. Someday I will never leave my parents and say farewells to them because I have to go to a place far from them. Soon, when everything is settled, Eli and I will return to Texas, and here we will raise Foval, near his gr
I have not been able to enter our mansion for several years since Eldifonso Suarez bought me to be his wife. Now, I am here, sitting on top of my bed and remembering the good moments I have here inside this room. Back when I was a child, my eyes were opened, and I saw life as beautiful. And now I have to let go of the painful past I had, and I will continue creating good and beautiful memories with my family. There was a knock outside the door so I stood up and took a deep breath. I also removed my tears and I cleared my throat. “Val, it's me. Your mom.”“Mommy, come in.”Mommy came in smiling. She looked at me, and we sat on the bed together. My heart was smiling looking at mommy. I understand why they married me to El. They thought El was the real Suarez and not just a fake. “Val, I'm here to tell you about Eldifonso.”“It's been a long time since we lost him. I have moved on, and Foval as well no longer worries about the pain of losing his daddy.”“That's good. I'm happy to hear
A year passed, and we were living the best of our lives here. I didn't think about my past anymore, and it was totally making my heart light when I freed myself from the grudges and bad past that I had with my husband, who happened to be dead a year ago.I was alone on the balcony; Foval was already asleep, and Eli was still taking a bath. The night was quiet, and I suddenly remembered that today was mommy and daddy's wedding anniversary day. I smiled despite the sadness I felt. Almost half an hour passed before Eli followed me to the balcony. He hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek, so I could smell his fresh scent. He is like a newly blooming garden. “Why is my Amore sad? Is she bringing a serious problem?”I leaned my body against him. We swayed a few times before I turned around and faced him. I hugged Eli and leaned my right cheek on his chest. “Why, Amore?”“A year has passed since we lived here. I realized a lot, Eli. And that's one of the reasons I can't move forward if
It was late at night; I couldn't sleep, so I decided to go to the beach. I hugged my arms and looked into the distance. I see Eldifonso's face in the dark sky while I hear his soft voice out of relief in the sound of the waves. A small hand grabbed me, so I looked down. “Foval? Why?”“Mommy, Uncle Eli told me not to be sad because even though daddy is gone, he is still looking at me from heaven. So don't be too sad, mommy.”I sighed, nodding at him even though I'm not sure if my son's father really went to heaven after he died. I bent down and gently caressed his cheek. He smiled. He withdrew his little hand from holding me. He fixed my hair that had been messed up by the wind that had been messing it up for a while. “Son, I'm sorry because mommy took you away from your daddy. I thought he was a harm to our relationship. I got angry with your daddy then, so I did this. But I realized that he was right when he said that I should think about you and I should think about what is the be
“Uncle Eli, let's go there!”My son was comfortable with Eli. They are now happily playing in the sand, making sandcastles. The castle built by Eli is taller, but Foval insists that his castle is more beautiful. “Why, master? Are you going to claim that your castle is more beautiful than mine?”“Yeah. Because it's obvious.”“Oh, really?!”“Yes, uncle.”“Alright, master. Yours is beautiful.”Foval ran towards Eli's castle and suddenly kicked him. My son was laughing while Eli was acting desperate as his castle was totally destroyed.“You destroyed my kingdom. Now I will avenge my people and my castle!”Eli raised his hands, trying to catch Foval. Foval runs away, but Eli catches him. My smile was wide as I watched them from meters away, wishing that Foval's attachment to Eli would deepen. My son no longer asks where his daddy is or when they will see each other. But rather he wants to stay here for a long time. He didn't want to go back to Texas either, so I was happy. It seems that hi
I heard the sound of an opening door, so I immediately wiped my fingers on my eyes to remove the tears that fell from them. “Amore?” Eli called me softly. I looked at him, and I saw him wearing an apron. There are still flowers on his cheeks and arms. I feel sorry for him. He was proving himself to me and my son, but my son still could not accept him. Eldifonso was not like this to me before. Everything that Eldifonso showed me only gave me pain in my heart, unlike Eli, who, with everything he showed me, enveloped me in love and security. I went up and sat down. He bent down to kiss me so my lips caught his lips dropping to mine’s way. I closed my eyes, kissing him back with tears in my eyes. He gently tapped my back, and slowly I could feel him pulling me up. I came along with the motion he was leading while our kisses were still tying us. His thumbs were caressing under my eyes, removing all my tears. “Stop crying. It hurts me when I see you cry.”“I don't know how I can not cry
