SHAKY RELATIONSHIP
Mike I took the paper she gave me and it ended up on the floor when I discovered the pictures of my dad. It said something about Luiza being the sole guardian of the girls, Emily and Gaby. I was looking for the logical thread of information, but it was nowhere to be found, or maybe I just didn’t want to understand. It all entered my mind, racking me even more than I already was. What did my father have to do with Emily’s mother? What did they have to do with that paper in our hands that I had read and reread? It all seemed like a puzzle I couldn’t figure out.“I understand nothing. What’s Dad doing with your mother?” I asked, puzzled.“Yes! It’s my mother and your father! They’ve been having an extramarital affair most of their lives. With your father’s help, she drove Andy Brown, my father, away from us. Here on the bed is all the evidence I needed,” she replied.“Since when?” I asked. It shocked me!“I don’t really know. They met after your mother died and have been together for a

FED UP WITH IT
Kevin“The tastiest breakfast ever! I have to admit, you’re an appealing cook,” I told her. “You make me blush,” she said with already flushed cheeks. “It’s the pure truth. I’ve never been more honest than I am now. You’re like a little witch who confused me with her charms. You managed one day to steal my heart that I thought was locked up and shielded from these sweethearts that I thought were fools,” I confessed. “What nonsense are you talking about there? I have done nothing. I wanted to show you what love is,” she retorted. “That’s not true. You stole my attention and forced your way in where you weren’t allowed. You’re a very sly woman!” I said, laughing. “Sneaky!? You like me like that, don’t you? And yet I don’t understand why Emily couldn’t win you over.” She was trying to get me to tell her about my life, only she didn’t know that things were done the way I wanted and when I wanted.“My dear, I’m not a simple man to win over. My heart is not for anyone,”

LAST THING I WANTED TO HEAR
EmilyThere were many aspects of my family history that always raised questions for me. As these came to light, it seemed that a dark shadow was re-emerging to dim the brightness of the future. It was a presence of the past that instilled panic in me and wanted to cast a shadow over the days ahead.All the information came piling in, and I felt like a defenseless baby. What was my fault that my mother didn’t keep her home and ran after another man? And what did I have to do with her misunderstandings with “Dad”?With all the craziness that was on my mind, I didn’t know whether to rejoice because Olivia was my sister or let the anger I felt inside let loose. I was confused, confused, and confused.My brain felt foggy, numb, confused and all. And yet I had to find out everything. It was now or never. Now I wanted to know everything, however painful that past was. I knew it couldn’t get any worse. I knew that the shadow of the past would follow me all my life. And no matter how hard I fo

MONEY COULD BUY ANYTHING
Kevin“Baby, I’m so sorry!” I said in a low voice.I was totally stunned by her life story. Although I didn’t enjoy my parents very much and my childhood wasn’t great either, at least I was never deprived. “I waited like a fool every year on my birthday to walk through the door, that is until I turned eighteen. From that day on, I promised myself that I would do anything to get out of poverty. You were the first to give me confidence and make me feel important,” she continued.“Well, what about Mike?” I asked curiously.“Mike was very affected by his past. I was like a puppet he used. When we were having sex, he would often call his wife’s name,” she replied.“That’s nasty. Why did you stay with him?” I asked her.“I needed the money. I wasn’t doing very well financially, and I couldn’t afford to go back to my father’s house again. He wasn’t offering me as much as I wanted, but it was enough to get by. The rest of the stories don’t matter. In essence, the most important point is that

ALL THAT MATTERED
EmilyI stood still. It was impossible for me to react.I looked at him and saw his eyes were full of pain and regret. I felt he wasn’t proud of what he had done, but that didn’t make the pain any less.No! It actually hurt like hell. I could hear the story echoing incessantly in my thoughts and felt my heart ache harder and harder.I threw myself into Mike’s arms and started sobbing my eyes out. I didn’t know whether to blame him or excuse him, reject him or accept him as my father.I felt like he loved me, but I was confused and it was so hard to put my thoughts together. I could read the fatherly love in his eyes and the joy of being in his home. But it was still too much. That past, those stories came like thorns that hurt everything in their path.“Sweetheart, I beg you so much to pull yourself together. You’re a grown woman, strong and fearless. Lift your head up and let’s focus on the important things and our future. The past is theirs, but the future is ours and we have to liv

I'LL BE FINE!
Olivia I took three of the agency’s best agents with me. The rest of the staff were supposed to handle crime in America, but also provide security for my family.Even though it was all happening remotely, I was glad for that. I couldn’t trust Emily and Mike. They always showed the naivety that characterized them both. Even though my dad had assured me he would take care of them, I knew them better than anything. With my mind reeling and traveling to a lot of places, I spent my flight trying to sort out the mess that had been building in my head. I tried to make plan after plan, and nothing seemed to be to my liking. The stress of late and the nights of staying up to study Kevin’s file repeatedly had taken their toll on me to the point of exhaustion. It felt like the longest flight I had ever taken. I felt like it trapped me in the smallest room possible. Eventually, I landed to my great joy. When I felt the fresh air outside caressing my hot cheeks, I felt as if I had grow

I GIVE ALL DIRECTIONS!
Kevin“I promise I will appear more beautiful than ever. You’ll be proud of me,” she told me before I walked out the door.That I was leaving, and she was just standing there, made me so nervous and nervous. It was like I was being assaulted by a thousand conflicting senses. My thoughts were confused. I wanted to trust her, but I couldn’t help feeling a lot of doubt about her. After all, I had known her for a short time and she had proved to be a money man.“Boss, are you okay?” Eddy’s voice rang out like an alarm clock.“I’m fine! Let’s focus on what’s more important. Tonight’s dinner is the most important. Next week’s shipment depends on it.”I had to try to chase away all the nonsense that was occupying my thoughts. The most important thing was the business I was going to conclude that evening, and getting the goods on the ship in the most careful manner.“I want a car in front of Clara’s house at 4 P.M. It will bring her to the airport. That’s where my private plane will be, bring

NOTHING TO DO WITH HER
EMILY“Good morning, my sweet sleepyhead!” said Mike as he stroked my forehead.The timbre of his voice had a more pleasant resonance than my favorite musical song. I sat tight in his arms, my head on his chest. I glanced around and noticed we were in the bed in my room, not on the couch in the living room. Nothing was bothering me. I was delighted by the soft, diffused light that created an atmosphere of comforting tranquility. “Is it dark already?” I asked. “Yes. It’s 12 a.m.” “I don’t think I slept that long. I’ve been so lazy!” “You needed your rest. It’s good when you’re exhausted to rest to get your thoughts in order.” “How I got here. I honestly remember nothing.” “I held you in my arms until you fell asleep on the couch, then your father showed me your room and I brought you here.” “You watched over me that long?” “I honestly wish I had, but I felt sorry for your father, leaving him alone. He needed someone to talk to. He was thinking of Olivia

ONCE AGAIN HIS
Emily I gently pressed my lips to his, preventing him from continuing. He pulled me even tighter into his arms. His playful tongue gently opened my lips, gently entering an ever-eager paradise of exploration. It was a light kiss, growing ever more intense. The warmth I felt in my stomach rose in my chest, speeding up my heartbeat which was faster than usual, anyway. The scent of his perfume caressed my nostrils. My lips were captive, emanating a strong heat that was gradually but undeniably turning into the fiery passion of desire.One of his hands slipped from the grip he held me in. His playful fingers began a game of seduction, starting at my hair and running gently down my spine. I had already lost control of my thoughts and my body, which was already his slave. I was the slave of mad desire, of burning passion.I gently pulled away from him, leaving him puzzled. And then I smiled seductively at him. I walked over to the bed and stood there, asking him with my eyes if he wanted t

DON'T PUSH YOUR LUCK!
Kevin “Kevin, although I’ve told you before, you’ve really outdone yourself now. I didn’t think you were that good with women. I underestimated you, I have to admit,” Luke said.“You didn’t have to deal with me to know me, Luke. We haven’t had a chance to talk yet,” I replied immediately.“We haven’t had a drink together either, come to think of it. We’ve always done business from a distance. I’m glad you saw me now,” he said.“Now it’s about something much bigger and more important. A deal of this magnitude called for a meeting as it is done in our world,” I replied.“Our world! That sounds too pompous. Who knows what the lady here imagines,” he said.His eyes sparkled as he looked at her, and mine were red with anger.“Carla! Please call me Carla. You are very noble, and I thank you,” she said elegantly.“You should thank me for finding you such a young and rich boyfriend,” I said wickedly.Her eyes immediately darted to me. She gave me an angry, yet puzzled look at the same time.
