“I went out for a moment, don't try to do anything stupid, don't leave the room and don't meddle in what you don't care about”. I mentioned. “It's not a warning, it's a threat”. I added again, pointing at her, looking at her, I knew she would not try anything against me, because I am her only hope to stay safe, but if she sees the opportunity to leave to be with her family she will do it, although at this moment, it is not the right thing to do.“You're a criminal just like them, aren't you?”. She asked, her question left me thoughtful for a few seconds, the woman behind me had dared to ask something that no other woman had ever said, she is brave, I thought.“That doesn't matter to you at all, just take comfort in knowing that you will live to see your loved one and your family again”. I mentioned indifferently, but for some reason my intention was to smile at her words. “I hope so”. I added, and I have always had that need to alert people more than I should.I went out, I had some b
I sat next to her, I waited for some reaction, some word, but nothing, she had fallen asleep deeply, I hope she finds peace, the peace that Ana has stolen from her, since she came to this place not once have, I seen her smile and I am sure that her smile is beautiful.I smiled when I saw her so calm, it was as if I was transmitting it to myself, something I thought was impossible, I have never been able to feel calm in my damn life, not even when I had my mother with me, my father took care of it.“Thank you”. she whispered taking a part of my jacket, let's say I've always liked to dress in a suit, it makes me feel above the others, unreachable enough for the others.“It's nothing”. I mentioned smiling. I shook my head, what was I doing, smiling for someone? What's wrong with you Salvatore? You're not even getting anything in return for this. “I have to keep you safe and calm, I don't want my plans to be ruined by a little girl like you”. I added, leaving my smile aside.“Leonardo”. h
Months later.Camila was already with Leonardo and his children, things with Ana had gone much better than planned, in fact, I was completely sure that we would have no problems with it, not even with my father, who in the end, ended up understanding that that woman was only with him for his power.I was quite uneasy, because that same day I confessed to Camila what I felt, just remembering it makes my stomach churn."I couldn't with my nerves, she had stayed to help me, of course, together with Leonardo, she had tried not to give me false hopes, but why would she?".“Camila, can I talk to you for a moment?”. I mentioned smiling shyly, I never imagined feeling this way, after all I was the great Salvatore Cipriani, no one had ever managed to sneak so deeply into my system.“Of course,”. She answered smiling, kissing Leonardo on the lips, and coming to me. “Tell me, what is it?”. She asked with that characteristic sparkle in her eyes, she was happy, and I didn't want to ruin her happin
Camila Sáez.We were at our graduation, just mentioning it makes me nervous, just a few years ago it was something that seemed very far away, I knew that someday it would happen, but not so soon and less with the grades with which I did. My friends and I were devastated thinking that we were never going to meet again and that was most likely, we would all take different paths, in different universities and with so much time to adapt it would be really difficult to maintain the same contact we have now.Clearly, those who had more affinity agreed to go to study together or at least in the same city, and that was fine with me, but I was clear about where I wanted to pursue my specializations and, moreover, what I had to do to get the scholarship I needed to finish my studies.If I could do all the things I wanted to do, I would do it, but I had to make an effort to achieve what I wanted in life and to be able to help my parents and try to give them back everything they had given me wit
Message Camila: Hi, how are you? “asked I, I was curious, his profile picture let me see a pretty attractive guy, but I didn't even know if he was real. I thought he wouldn't answer again... I mean, sometimes these things happen.Message Leonardo: Well thanks and you? “he answered after a few seconds. Adrian kept looking at me half worried, I guess it was because both he and I, knew that my supposed boyfriend didn't talk to me except in the morning and in the afternoon almost at night, he says good morning and leaves.Message Camila: Well too, what are you doing? “I asked again, full of curiosity why, first of all, I had no idea who he was and secondly, I also did not understand why he had spoken to me.“Who are you talking to? “Adrian asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. “You were smiling looking at the screen. “he commented again.I didn't know what to answer, since I hadn't even realized I was smiling, but that wasn't the point, I had no reason to be smiling with a complete strang
“Don't worry, Leonardo, my friend. How have you been? “I never thought I would end up becoming friends with the nerdy boy, brother of the pretty girl, but my relationship with her was over, Ana had gotten herself another guy who, according to her, treated her as she deserved.“Well, I have nothing to say, and your sister, how is she? “I asked smiling.“She still hates you, if that's what you wanted to hear, but I'm not spiteful and what you had doesn't interest me at all. “He mentioned smiling, I think this guy will never leave me, I guess he thinks that by being by my side he will get to be as popular as me, but that wouldn't be his strong point.“I understand. I have to go to my class. “I answered trying to avoid him. In the distance I spotted my friends, the guys I usually hung out with at recess.“I was heading there too, do you think we could walk together to the corner? “I know the boys would bother him, but I wasn't going to say no either, I guess I felt sorry for Agustín and t
Months laterLeonardo AlvarezIt's been some time since I've been talking to Camila, and at this moment I didn't know how to describe our relationship, I mean, we've never met, although it's weeks away, weeks? For us to meet for the first time at the university, and the truth is that I had no intention of sharing the details of that meeting with my friends.I don't know what was going on with me, I couldn't go to bed with another woman because she is constantly sneaking into my thoughts, I don't know if it's because we talk almost all day long, from dawn until late at night and I don't know if it's really good, but I like doing it, she always finds a different way to make me laugh, she's a unique girl.“Leonardo. “I heard my father's authoritative voice, who knows what he wants now, surely my brother refused to help him, and I wish I could do the same, but I didn't have the strength to do it.“Father. “I answered, approaching his office, where he was. He looked at me with a smile on h
Camila SáezI looked at my cell phone every moment, waiting alertly if a message from Leonardo arrived, that man had gotten into my head in an amazing way that I never imagined could happen, and that is that from a moment we went from being complete strangers to knowing each other more than our own families.“Relax, Camila, I'm sure it's nothing, he must have arrived at the university, he will talk to you when he can” I kept telling myself over and over again to see if I believed it and to put an end to that fear that he would suddenly stop talking to me.Damn fear that doesn't let me think things through, I think there have been hundreds of times Leonardo has told me how beautiful I am, but I still don't believe it, not to mention that he has never seen me in person and that makes me doubt the sincerity with which he says it.Message Leonardo: “Hello”. he had written.Message Leonardo: “I was a little busy with university projects, but I'm over it. You have me all to yourself for wha
