I didn’t see that coming. I was quite fond of Louis but I knew deep down that I couldn’t marry him. Even though I was attracted to Carlos physically, I wouldn’t marry him either. Marriage and sex stood side by side for me, both scared the shit out of me.I wondered how to get out of this without breaking Louis's heart. I understood his point and knew he might be happier than a simple man but I wasn’t the woman for him. He needed someone who could handle her mess.“We could have a new life here. It would be good for both of us.” Louis continued. The only hard thing about Louis is his body, he tries to hide it but has a very soft heart.“I think staying here would be good for me too, but I’m not sure about marrying you, Louis.” I love him too much to tease him, I would be honest. “A new life would be nice here, but I can’t marry you, Louis.”“I know you care about me.”“I do, but that’s not enough to build marriage on.”He looked at me sadly. “Is this because of Carlos? Is something go

I didn’t understand that. He couldn’t just disappear, could he?At first, I feared that it could be a kidnap but when I got to his room, I knew the man had walked out of our lives as mysteriously as he came in.His books were gone, and so were the sketches. His clothes were left behind. He only took the things he valued.It hurt that he didn’t even say goodbye.I wondered if he would have said goodbye if I hadn’t gone to Texas, or if he had even left at all.Maybe It was an emergency, he was needed somewhere and he had no choice but to go there immediately. It could be a family issue. He would come back.Yet I knew he wouldn’t. Carlos wasn’t the man we thought he was. He was much more.The air was still tense over Carlos's disappearance when Louis decided to tell Juan of his decision to leave Mexico City.I have never seen the brother argue so violently.I was sent upstairs as they hurled Spanish at each other. I couldn’t hear them clearly but Juan was very much against his brother l

When I woke up the next morning, Coco was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a girl. Her name was Vic and she tended to the gardens.It seemed like there was someone for each duty in this place.There was something I was curious about. “Who is the Master of this place?”Vic first gave me an alarmed look, but when she remembered there was no one around, she talked.“I’ve been working here for less than a year and I’ve never met him, but Lucy says he’s handsome and powerful. Every one of us here owes him our life. Like you.”“Me, I don’t owe him anything.” How could I owe someone I’ve never met?“Then why are you here, aren’t you here to work?”She had assumed I was here to work like her. I didn’t even know if I was or not.I need an explanation.The girl named Lucy came in with a scowl on her face.“Is this the new girl?”“Yes, Coco brought her here yesterday,” Vic replied timidly. Lucy seemed like a bully.“When did Coco start bringing new girls? Anyways, get dressed, there’s no

I wasn’t wearing any panties. And he held my panties in his hands.One that had just left in between my legs.I took a deep breath and awaited his anger for my color invasion. It didn’t come.“Nice colors.” He waved my panties to my other clothes on the couch and table.I folded my hands under my boobs in defense.But I was prepared to see him raise my panties to his nose and take a deep sniff.That was hot.Oh God, why did weird things turn me on?I was wearing no panties, it felt like his head was between my legs, smelling me…I pressed my legs together.“I hate you.”My panties didn’t leave his nose. “Lair. You want me”“You killed Anna.”Carlos raised his brow; he didn’t expect me to know that. “You’ve been snooping Rayna.”“You used us, everything was all about you, you selfish bastard.”He didn’t look remorseful in the slightest. He took another deep sniff of my panties and then shoved it into his shirt pocket. “I’ll keep this.”“I’d like to have my panties back.”“I saw it on m

I was tempted to continue pretending I was asleep but I guessed it would be too obvious.“Yes.”We were both quiet till he said, “Sleep, you’ve had a long day.”“Take your hands off me,” He pulled me closer in response. “You’re too close.”“I don’t feel close enough.”“This is too much for me, Carlos.”I tried to peer his hands away from my body, but when all effort proved fruitless I had to stop.It was like his hands had been glued around me, I couldn’t even shift a finger.“Do you know what I want? I want to remove every stitch of clothing on you, not only that, I want to do more than hold you. I’m trying to be patient with you Rayna, and if you feel my patience isn’t necessary, I’ll be glad to do the things I want.”I felt my heart race and my mouth go dry.“Are… are you threatening to rape me?”When he didn’t reply, I turned to look into his face. I was surprised he let me.He couched down so we were eye to eye, and removed his hands from my back.I waited for a reply from him on
