Valentino's face visibly lost color at Athena's words. He frowned with irritation, moving away from her as he watched her with disbelief. He ran a hand through his hair, wishing that what Athena had confessed to him was false. If it wasn't, it meant that she had been playing with him all this time, making him suffer because she knew perfectly well that he desired her intensely, but he couldn't possess her due to the nonconsummation contract they had signed."You must be joking again, right? What you just said isn't true. We both signed the contract, and you even threatened me with a lawsuit if I didn't comply," he finally managed to speak, seeing the young woman in front of him, who only showed calmness, corroborating that she was not lying. "Were you really capable of that, Athena!?""Yes," she replied a little agitated, but maintaining serenity."And you say it so calmly!?" he rebuked, annoyed. "You've been making a fool of me this whole damn time! Did you find it funny?""Yes," she

Lenox's eardrums were filled with the loud, upbeat music as he entered the bar where he had arranged to meet an old friend who had recently arrived in the city.He approached the bar and ordered a drink, checking the time on his phone. It was almost midnight, but the bar was still full of people drinking and dancing.Shortly after, a hand rested on his shoulder, making him instinctively turn his head to find the wide smile of his old friend, who sat next to him and ordered a vodka."Why did you call me here?" the Italian asked, drinking a second glass of liquor."Aren't you happy to see me, Doctor Lenox?" he joked. "I just wanted to see an old friend again after a long time. Besides, I didn't want to drink alone tonight.""I see," he sighed. "And well? How have you been, Victor? You quit the hospital almost a year ago, and now you show up all of a sudden.""I came back for some unfinished business," he drank the first drink in one gulp, ordering another instantly. "I ran out of money,

Athena's brow furrowed as she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. It wasn't simply seeing herself, but also feeling the pain her body was experiencing at that moment. It was evident that she overdid it the day before; every limb seemed to have been attacked by some wild animal.She decided to clear her mind in the shower, remembering lovers, passionate encounters, dislikes, an intense night, and a doubt that persisted in her head. She tried to overlook the tattoo issue, but she was sure that Valentino had lied to her and was hiding something. Of course, she was determined to find out what it was.Wrapped in a towel, she came out of the bathroom and found her nana cleaning the room. She watched her pick up clothes from the floor, make the bed, and put things that were out of place in order."Good morning, my child," the old woman greeted her with a warm smile. "Will you come down for breakfast?""I have to get ready first," she sat down in front of the dresser, looking at herself

A knot tightened her throat as she caressed the rustic canvas with her fingers. She repeated a resounding "impossible" over and over again, unable to believe that Valentino had lied to her in that way.She inhaled deeply, moving away from the work to contain her impulses. However, the answer she longed for was revealed before her. The painting showed the fusion of the constellations of Leo and Scorpio in a starry sky. More coincidences? This time it couldn't be simply a coincidence since she and Valentino shared the same tattoos on the canvas.Not only that, at the end of the painting was written the name "dreamer," the same one with which Valentino had repeatedly called her the night before during the sexual act.Athena was speechless, putting a hand to her mouth with a knot in her stomach. She removed the cloth that covered the other paintings in the room, and her astonishment grew when she discovered a representation of herself in one of the works.Among the paintings, several were

Layla's steps on the rocky path leading into the mansion were weak and heavy. She was holding a suitcase with all her luggage inside since that same night she had decided to leave her now ex-boyfriend's apartment.With three knocks on the main door, Martin appeared and was a little surprised by her weak and tired appearance. She gave him a hesitant and embarrassed smile, entering when the man allowed her access."I'm sorry to arrive at this hour, it was sudden," she excused, squeezing the handle of her suitcase tightly. "Can I talk to Athena?""I'm sorry, miss, but she is currently with the sir in his room; I'm afraid to interrupt, they are in the middle of a conversation," Martin explained with an apologetic smile."I see..." she whispered. "I'm here to stay temporarily for a while, I've talked to her beforehand today, but things came up suddenly and I came earlier than expected.""I understand, then...""Child Layla?" Mrs. Soledad appeared in the reception area, surprised by her pre
