Amir had just come home from his meeting with his father. Fortunately, his interest to meet had nothing to do with Aháva and Dominik, being her biological father. Further ahead, he would come up, calmly, with the best way to let him know the truth.

He sat down at the chair at his desk and was about to order some papers regarding a new client. In the past years, he became, practically, his father's right hand. He took over the company. However, Amir wanted to go on a long journey with his wife and daughter all over asian territory, venturing into ruins, caves and so many marvelous uncharted territories. But his dream kept drifting further away with so many latent responsibilities, adding up, the inconvenience with Dominik. He had to be there for his wife.

“Sir?” the voice of a young man, in his twenties, dark skin and brown hair, made him turn to the door, “this just came in the mail” Jamin was Adasha's son, the family's trusted home employee.

Jamin studied in the afternoon and evenings, so in the morning, he helped his mother at the mansion. The young man walked up to Amir with a yellow envelope, He took it, with a thanking the young man with a gesture. Jamin then, left the room.  

Amir took a look at the envelope and realized the letter came from the Research Center in the Archaeology College of the American University of El Cairo, their former school.

When he opened the envelope and read the contents, he could not help feeling a big commotion.

Amir could not believe his eyes. The opportunity he and Samanta were expecting had finally come. They had been scouted for a huge expedition. Their names would be immortalized in history.

“Sam won't believe this” he said with a smile as he stood up from the chair

“What won't I believe?” Asked Samanta, as she walked into the studio.

“Love. When did you get here?” Amir was surprised.

“A few minutes ago. I left the girl in her room. She's sleeping” she walked up to her husband and, just like that, she kissed him and then wrapped her arms around him so tight Amir felt squeezed.

“Hey. What's going on? What's with such a hug?”

“I love you” she said as she loosened her grip. She looked him in the eye. “You're amazing” she kissed him. “I have to thank you for so much love and patience. For being here when I need you” she kissed him again. “I love you, honey” and she squeezed him again.

Samanta could not deny it, she loved her husband. They had shared so many years together, all the precious memories and some bitter moments they got over, together. Amir was her friend, her accomplice and her lover. Nobody could change that. On the other hand, Dominik was a passion, a desire, a pending assignment, an unfinished book… she felt as though she could lose her sanity for him, whereas Amir was her support, her strength, her peace and calm.

“Love, this just came in the mail” said Amir.

“What is it?” She backed off to see what her husband was trying to show her.

“Read it. I know you'll love it” he smiled, handing over the paper and kissed her in the forehead. “I'll go check on the girl” and he left the studio.

Samanta took the letter in her hands and, wasting no more time, she read it. Her heart started racing and a huge smile popped up on her face. She had dreamed of this moment her whole life. Worldwide recognition, for her work and efforts.

“Oh my god!” she let out a gasp and started jumping for joy.

    I turned to the man who was talking to me. There was something in that voice that made me evoke a thousand memories. I looked at him carefully for a while, because although his face was very familiar to me, I couldn't place him. I opened my eyes like saucers and my heart stopped for a fraction of a second when I recognized the owner of those green eyes that were looking at me. In front of me was the personification of all my fears, traumas and insecurities. The man who served as a benchmark to compare all the people who came into my life after him. It was a beautiful vision, and at the same time a nightmare come true. “Antoine,” I said his name with difficulty. If the mere memory of him stirred up a lot of emotions in me, can you imagine “what his presence did to me?” The imposing figure of a six-foot-tall man lay before me. His eyes were greener than I remembered them and he had a beautiful smile (the one that brought out a couple of dimples in his cheeks) plastered on his face. He

    I shook my head hard to concentrate on my friend's voice. She kept talking, but I stopped listening to her for a moment because I was thinking about Harvey, the gorgeous blond I met two months ago on one of my many girls' outings with Gabrielle, and who I started dating four weeks ago. He was divorced and had two young children. All my life I was reluctant to have anything with a man with children, because my policy was always: If I can buy a new car, ¿why buy a used one? This thought became ingrained in me as a result of living with my stepmother. It's not that our relationship was bad, but I remember a couple of times I tried to make her life miserable, just for fun. I was afraid that divine justice would take its toll on me for those years of rebellion and headaches I'd caused Valerie. But there was something about Harvey that appealed to me so much. He was very direct and upfront. When he approached me, he didn't do it with the typical cliché phrases that all men use to approac

    She was silent, watching as that handsome man walked away. She didn't understand why she couldn't stop looking at him. She had seen handsome men many times. His father lived surrounded by them. Athletic men with heart-stopping butts. However, there was something about… Damn! h e didn't tell her his name a n d h e wanted very much t o know. h e hit his forehead as h e remembered how h e treated him. "How stupid I am. At this rate, I'm going t o be alone." She couldn't help but feel like a fool for being so rude t o him. Perhaps his intentions were sincere… or perhaps not. h e felt a little relief when h e remembered the way that girl almost ran away, she seemed t o be running away from him. Maybe h e was a lout a n d deserved every one of his mistreatment.Anyway, h e decided not t o think about it a n ymore. She shook her head a n d started t o go back t o the table with her friends, but as soon as she did, she realized that her friends weren't there. h e took a quick look around the

    The car was parked in front of the place h e had been frequenting for the last few days. It was a good place t o dance (he loved t o dance) a n d have a couple of drinks in the company of a pretty woman. h e met Melanie in New York a n d since then she accompanied him o n his tour. That's how h e wanted it, a n d although August didn't need the woman who was willing t o have a good time with him, she was perfect, because she was funny a n d undramatic. (At least it seemed that way at first) I didn't understand how his attitude changed in a matter of three days.He shook his head a n d cleared his mind. I didn't want t o think about that. h e was ready t o celebrate that night h e appeared in the place h e had dreamed of for so many years. For every illusionist, the MGM Grand Garden Arena was a statement that h e was reaching the pinnacle of his career. His parents knew it a n d that i s why they traveled from Scotland t o accompany him. Her little sister couldn't make it o n time beca

    Aháva tried t o take long strides t o get t o the bar as quickly as possible. The club was packed a n d people seemed t o be possessed by some kind of demon of lust, as they groped each other while dancing grotesquely. The blonde looked at the couple o n her right a n d couldn't help but shudder. Could it be that they did not know about the existence of hotels? God! She didn't understand why she agreed t o go t o that place with her friends, if she never liked going t o places like that. She was more of mountains, rivers a n d beaches. h e liked t o be in contact with nature while enjoying the silence or reading a good book.

    "All the way down, all the way down, all the way down," they yelled in unison.The girls tried t o encourage the youngest of all t o drink the entire contents of her glass in one sip. However, the blonde with green eyes could not do it, because she did not like the taste of tequila or a n y alcoholic beverage. I didn't understand how there were people who drank liquor until their livers dried up, if the taste of alcoholic beverages was so awful.She licked her lips, wrinkled her nose, a n d put the glass back o n the table.Aháva grimaced a n d wiped the corner of her lip with the back of her hand.-I do not can. It's disgusting,” h e yelled, due t o the high volume of the music. How do they make you drink this? It i s awful!—Booo. Don't be a spoilsport,” the eldest of all spoke up.

Hearing the applause of his audience as h e walked offstage was undoubtedly his favorite thing since his father gave him a cape, top hat, a n d wand for his tenth birthday. h e decided t o dedicate himself t o illusionism when that afternoon at his grandmother's house, a magnificent magician left him speechless by drawing a dove o n a small blackboard a n d then shaking it a n d taking out a royal dove.
