Ava relates:It was done, we had married.I was sitting at the table, looking carefully at the ring in my hand, it was beautiful, it seemed to be made of platinum with small diamonds encrusted and with a central diamond that protruded, underneath, the name "Alex" was engraved on it. It must have been a very expensive jewel, or rather, extremely expensive, how could Alex afford something like that?I turned around and saw the ring in his hand, it was also platinum with several small diamonds encrusted with it, it should also be worth a small fortune.Well, I started to guess, Alex just wanted to stand out. Perhaps he saw this expense as an investment.I sighed dejectedly, how did I allow this? Okay, I had agreed to get married, but wasn't I supposed to see it as a business? How come I let my grandfather convince me to dress up like a bride? How come I agreed to use these rings and make promises of love, if there was none?He was falling. Yes, that was the most logical answer. I was fal

Ava relates:Alex threw himself on my mouth with impetus, with eagerness, like a thirsty man who in the midst of his desperation finds a fountain of water.His hands caressed my whole body and usually, that was something that always made me self-conscious, however, Alex did them with such vehemence, that it caused my mind to whiten completely, placating all my insecurities.He calmly detached himself from my mouth to run his lips down my neck to my earlobe, which I nibble gently, while his hands gently squeezed my breasts.Kiss after kiss, touch after touch, my body responded with shudders, making me forget all suspicion toward Alex. I found myself wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him closer.Alex let out a sensual growl as he noticed my eagerness. One hand slid down my back, unfastening the clips of my bra. A second later, he pulled it away, exposing my breasts, and took them in his mouth, kissing, licking, and nibbling on them. Moans escaped my throat, and I writhed in his

Ava relates:I felt so frustrated. I tried, I really tried, but seeing all those faces watching me, analyzing every movement, staring at my body—fear completely took over me. Still, I took a deep breath and forced myself to continue.Then, among the operational team, I saw a man who looked so much like Alex.I knew it was impossible, what could Alex be doing there? Watching a group of young girls learning to walk, with all the important work they have had these past weeks? That was crazy.Most likely, the nerves had gotten the best of me, and I was hallucinating. I was so obsessed with Alex that I imagined him everywhere. But that brief hallucination was enough to make me stumble, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to get out of there before I became the center of everyone's mockery again.I curled up in a corner, in the darkness, behind the stage, and almost immediately, I saw Sandro approaching. I assumed he had noticed my nervousness because he draped his arm around my shoulders

It had been a week since the horrible argument I had with Alex, and he had very calmly accepted our estrangement. We slept in separate rooms and occasionally met at the company to discuss specific details about the show.I was still taken aback by how he had stopped me to tell me that he loved me. I was almost ready to believe him. But when I looked into his eyes, I saw nothing—his expression was blank, and it was clear he was only acting.That hurt. What need did Alex have to pretend to love me if I had already made it clear that I knew about his intentions? I was starting to believe that he was a very cruel man. Why would he toy with my feelings like that?Even a week later, I was still thinking about him. I was still haunted by his words. I figured that distancing myself was the best decision I could have made, because Alex was already making his way into my heart, and I would surely end up with a broken one.I was in my office, working on the final touches of the collection, when

Ava relates:Alex stood up and faced me. I backed away into the dimness, unsure of what to do or say. He walked into the room, closed the door behind him, and turned on the light. He didn’t come too close, seeming to understand that I needed space or perhaps just not wanting to scare me any further."Ava! I know what you saw is strange, but it has an explanation," he said, his voice filled with concern.I swallowed, licking my lips as my grandfather's words echoed in my mind. I shouldn’t judge Alex before he had the chance to explain."Well, explain it to me," I murmured, sitting on the edge of the bed, crossing both my legs and arms."Well, it just so happens that… what you saw is… something like therapeutic…" He paused, noticing my frown. He pursed his lips, trying to continue. "It's just that… I've needed it for some time now… It's because of the pressure, the stress, and some traumas, that’s what they told me. As I climbed higher in my position and my business, I started to feel t
