Grace approached me and hugged me tightly. I cried on her shoulder like a little girl; the slap on my cheek didn't hurt as much as the pain I felt in my soul."Why did you do it, Kat? You didn't deserve something like this," she said to me as she held me close.I began to sob, unable to answer, not feeling capable of speaking; the tears and the huge lump in my throat prevented it."He hates me," I managed to say.Grace pulled me away from her and looked into my eyes; then, she gently caressed my bruised cheek."He shouldn't have hit you. I know you pressured him too much, but he shouldn't have done it, and you... you shouldn't have said all those things to him. You both made mistakes," she said.I knew all too well about that, but this was the only way to keep him away from me. I just wanted him to shine because if he stayed with me, sooner or later he would hate me for not letting him reach his dreams and goals. Maybe one day he'll thank me for what I did."It's done now, and I know

Weeks later, the sale of my apartment went through smoothly; I was determined not to accept any help from my father. I wanted to prove to him that I could handle my life independently. Jona accompanied me to sign the papers for the apartment sale, even though he didn't fully agree with my decision. Despite his reservations, he supported me."Come home; Nora would love to have you there," he suggested.I shook my head. Debbie had helped me find a place in her building, which was quite affordable, so I wouldn't have any trouble paying for it."I've got everything sorted out," I assured him.He looked at me and simply nodded."Your father is still insisting on investing," he informed me.I shook my head. I didn't want my father near me, at least not for the moment. I was still hurting from what had happened."If he invests, I'm leaving," I warned Jona."I've already told him no many times, but he keeps insisting," he commented.I nodded."My father never understands; just ignore him," I

Opening my eyes, a dreadful headache hit me. I buried my face in the pillow and stayed like that for a couple of minutes. Yesterday, I had lost consciousness completely. I threw the pillow aside and got out of bed as best as I could. I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face. I looked at myself in the mirror and grimaced; I looked really awful.The door to my apartment started ringing, and immediately my headache worsened. I walked to the door and opened it. It was Debbie with a cup in her hand."I think you need this," she said with a smile.My sense of smell awakened as I caught a whiff of freshly brewed coffee. I took the cup from her hands and took a sip."What time did you leave? And how did I end up in bed?" I asked.She entered my apartment."I practically carried you. I could've taken advantage of you, but I held back," she joked.I chuckled a bit."What time is it?" I asked.She glanced at her watch and then at me."It's eleven. I think Jona is going to kick y

I arrived at Grace's workplace, entered her office, and sat in front of her. There were several muffins on her desk, so I grabbed one and devoured it."What's wrong with you now?" she asked, looking at me oddly.I looked at her with my best tragic expression."I went back to work with Jona," I said between chews.She rolled her eyes immediately."I'm starting to think you're a masochist," she said.I shrugged."Jona asked me, and I couldn't say no," I replied.Grace closed her eyes for a moment, then took a deep breath and looked at me."Yeah, sure, whatever you say," she said.I swallowed a gasp and started breathing slowly to calm myself; I felt like crying, I was so sentimental about all of this."Hayden is with Debbie, that sneaky bitch, how I hate her," I said.Grace took off her glasses and set them aside."You're both masochists, made for each other. You lie to him, and the other idiot gets involved with a woman he feels nothing for," she said.I crossed my arms and gave her a

The next day I arrived at the workshop. Jona and everyone else were gathered around the new car, so I approached slowly to see what was going on."I won't drive that," Hayden said angrily.Jona turned to look at me and I just smiled at him."I warned you that if he invested, I wouldn't drive. Screw it all," he said.I wasn't understanding anything. So I looked back at Jona, but he just gave me small smiles."He's not your father," Jona told him.Hayden laughed bitterly."But it's a subsidiary, it's the same shit! And I warned you," he complained.Hayden looked at me angrily, turned around, and left."What's going on?" I asked.Nora approached me and pushed me."You screwed everything up, that's what happened," she accused me.Jona grabbed her arm and pulled her away from me."I'm sorry," he apologized.I didn't pay attention to them and went after Hayden."Can you stop?" I yelled as I ran after him.But he didn't stop, so I ran faster until I caught up with him."Go away, Kat, I don't

The noise of the city woke me up, and as I stretched in bed, I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes. The night before had been great; I can finally say that a man truly appealed to me beyond just for one night. I had finally found a man who was worth it, worthy of being introduced to my parents, or well, to my mother. Carlo was funny, handsome, in his forties, had a great job; we were both lawyers, he was simply perfect, we clicked wonderfully."Good morning, sleepyhead," he said to me as he watched me from the doorway.I got out of bed, took the shirt I had taken off him the night before and put it on my naked body. Then, I walked towards him in a sensual manner."Since when have you been here?" I asked him.He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me towards his chest. I tiptoed and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips. All of this seemed like something out of a movie scene; everything felt so perfect and unreal."Long enough to know that you snore," he said with a slight smile.I ligh

Grace arrived to pick me up super early, as we had a long way to go. Every time a race was held, the road became so complicated, a huge number of people also headed to the same place and the traffic jams became hell."I know we're going to win this time, I feel it in my bones," Grace said excitedly as she took a sip from her energy drink."I hope so, I'm already tired of hearing you complain all the way back," I said.I took out my phone to check some documents."No, no phones, today is the big final and we need to stay focused," she said.She took my phone and threw it in the glove compartment."How many of those have you had?" I asked her.Grace looked at me and smiled, she drank the rest of the drink and tossed it in the back; I looked again and there were five already empty."What if I drive instead?" I asked her.Grace shook her head immediately."Don't worry, I have everything under control. Now relax, we'll soon see the best race in the world and I'll finally be a winner," she

The screams distracted me from the reporters' questions. I turned to see what was causing the commotion, and there she was, squeezing her friend as viscous liquid dripped down her clothes. I left the reporters and ran toward her. When I arrived, I saw with horror: the shirt I had given her was a mess, completely soaked with vomit."I'll pay for it," her friend said as she continued to squeeze her. Finally, she let go, and with a sudden fit of rage, grabbed the drunk girl by the collar and squeezed. I acted immediately, pulling her away by grabbing her waist, although I got covered in vomit in the process."I'm going to kill you, Grace!" she yelled furiously. I carried her in my arms to the motorhome, let her go, and looked her in the eyes. Her expression of anger was so intense that it was a little scary."Do you want me to lend you some more clothes?" I asked.Without saying a word, she began to undress until she was in her underwear. I silently watched her for a long moment; her phy
