CHAPTER 6
Simon Lee
When I rang the apartment doorbell, carrying a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of wine, I didn't expect to find Laura looking heavy. She thought our conversation in the morning had made her let her guard down. But when I took a closer look at his face, I noticed that it was swollen. Even the makeup couldn't hide the reddened eyes.
—What happened, Laura? — I asked. The agony taking over my body.
— Nothing happened. It's just an allergy attack. I think last night's chill got to me pretty hard.— She sniffed and rubbed her nose after ushering me in.
—Do you want me to buy you some medicine?— Want to go to the doctor?
—Don't worry about me, we'll focus on your case.— She crossed her arms in front of her in clear defensive language.
—Of course I worry. You weren't like that this morning. I brought these flowers, but I don't even know if it was a

Laura AnthonyThis time my uncle had outdone himself. I almost had a meltdown when I saw the black BMW parked in the driveway. It was beautiful. I had been dating this beauty for some time, but I knew it would take a long time to buy her. Surely my uncle had noticed and decided to surprise me. I called him on a video call and thanked him for the gift, but made it clear that I didn't want any more craziness for the next twenty years.—You can abort the purchase of the jet and the yacht, Matheus!— He threw his body back and looked to the side as if he was really talking to someone.— Uncle !!! — I pouted — Enough with the surprises!He burst out laughing and agreed to spare me the scares for years to come.I took a shower and got ready for Simon's show. Sara would go with me, of course. I had already become a fan of the singer. He spent the r

Simon LeeAfter seeing Laura pull into the condo parking lot, I took Mia and Maicon home. The two have shared an apartment since joining the band. Mia was still elated at the news. My friend was very detached. She didn't notice for a moment that Laura was bothered by the way she hugged me. Mia was just a friend, we never had any kind of involvement. But imagining that Laura was feeling jealous gave me a sliver of hope.I walked into my apartment and threw myself on the couch. I began to remember every detail of that night. After Laura's reaction in her apartment, I thought my chances were slim. I needed to try to get closer to her and at the first opportunity I had I pulled her against my body. Seeing her staring at my abs with such longing as she walked through the dressing room door only pulled the trigger for me to seize the opportunity. I grabbed her and placed my hand on her back. I could go down a little mo

Laura AnthonyIf I could define that first week in New York, I would say boring. Aside from the moment we had ice cream in Times Square, everything else seemed pointless to me. She was used to accompanying businesspeople to events, but she had never worked with a celebrity. All that fan fuss over Simon was pretty irritating. I understood what his profession was, but I couldn't see what kind of threat he might be facing. Those women, at most, could be framed for indecent exposure, but I didn't see any kind of violence or psychopathy in any of them. I was already starting to miss the adrenaline of real missions. Keeping up with Simon and his band didn't seem necessary at all. Or maybe I was just annoyed at seeing so many juvenile tantrums.—Don't understand what I'm doing here? I huffed when I got back from an interview the band had just given to the gossip site. I threw myself on the couch and placed the pistol

Simon LeeWhen Laura opened the door and I saw her dressed in those jean shorts and the white T—shirt that left the shadow of her bra showing, I had to contain my urge to kiss her. I was there for another reason. The conversation with Thomas couldn't get out of my head. I could no longer hide the reason for her coming to New York from her. She would never forgive me if I found out the truth.I walked past her and in the living room mirror I saw her look at my ass. How naughty! She was biting her lips. I ran a hand through my hair, trying to chase away the lewd thoughts I created in my mind as she walked past me. I was sweating nonstop. Laura seemed to understand how hot the room was, as she opened the window.I sat on the couch and tried to find the right words to start that conversation.—Simon, you're scaring me.— Sorry. I don't want you to be nervous. But I

Laura Anthony When Simon walked into my apartment, I could never have imagined that he was in love with me. I asked for forgiveness because deep down I knew I was to blame for years of separation. I ignored him all that time. I tried to blame everyone for what had happened to me, for being alone and helpless in that man's hands, but deep down I knew that no one was to blame for anything. I was just running away from reality. It was easier to believe that everything would have been different if Simon hadn't left, if my parents hadn't died. But what control over life do we have? How can we predict what will happen in the future? All that feeling that had been stored inside of me exploded the moment Simon placed me in his lap. I loved him and I wanted him to know that, so I declared myself. Nothing else mattered. If he said he didn't love me I would suffer a lot, but at least I would know. Living in uncertainty, thinking what it would be like if I had the courage to declare myself, woul

Simon LeeWhen I woke up the next day, Laura's terrified eyes were still in my mind. Nobody wanted to tell me what had happened. Matheus was coming to New York and I couldn't communicate with him. I left a message asking you to call me urgently. Thomas didn't reveal anything to me. He said it was a personal matter and that Laura was the only one who could tell me. From his reaction, I already knew there was something very serious. And he could very well deduce what it was. Just imagining what was going through my head, I already felt the anger consume me. I spent hours at the gym taking all my anger out on the sandbag. With each punch I imagined the face of the bastard who had touched my Laura. There was no other explanation for the way she flinched at my touch. She had been abused and I wanted to slowly kill the bastard who did it.That night, all the insane thoughts went through my head. I was never a violent guy, but I knew ex

Laura Anthony —No! Leave me! Do not touch me! I woke up screaming and only calmed down when I heard Simon's voice calling me. Holding my face, he tried to locate me from where I was. — Laura! Hey Little One! I am here. I am here! It was just a nightmare. calm down. You are at my house. It's here with me. Simon's deep eyes woke me to the present moment. I buried my head in his chest and felt my heartbeat slow down. Since I went to New York I was sleeping on tranquilizers. It was the only way to get rid of those horrible nightmares. I didn't expect to sleep in Simon's arms, but I was so tired from the night before that I couldn't keep my eyes open. I clung to his chest, which also had an altered heartbeat. He must have been startled by my screams. Now I was there, afraid to look at him. What was I going to say? I had walked into that apartment determined to change my life. He intended to have a conversation with Simon and tell him everything that had happened, why he had reacted the

Matheus Anthony—Sara, glad you answered. How is she?—You've managed to sleep now, but you arrived here very agitated. I had to put a few drops in the water, in addition to the pill, or she wouldn't be able to erase it. You'll probably sleep all day.— You did well. I don't want her here tomorrow morning. I need to speak to Simon before she does. He almost blew it all away.—Have you spoken to your father yet?—Yes, he can't come now. Things got complicated— He? asked my colored—haired friend.— Yea...— Okay ! You can let me take care of her. ***Laura Anthony
