Chapter 23Clayton was sitting in the cell, brooding over his situation, when he heard firm footsteps echoing down the corridor. The metal door creaked open and the sheriff appeared with a stern expression, accompanied by a man in an impeccable suit."Good afternoon, Mr. Houston," said the man, adjusting his glasses in an awkward manner. "I'm Richard O'Connor, your lawyer."Clayton stood up quickly, feeling a wave of relief at finally being one step closer to leaving this hell and no longer having to look at the grumpy sheriff’s face."How did you manage to get here so fast?" he asked, his voice filled with profound relief."When money is involved, everything gets resolved quickly," replied Richard with a cold smile. "Let’s get you out of here."Victoria looked at Clayton with disdain before unlocking the cell."He’s your responsibility now, counselor. If he runs, you’ll be the one answering for it.""Don’t worry, Sheriff," said Richard, handing over some documents and adjusting his g

Chapter 24 Clayton stood at the large window in his office, watching the night fall. He desperately needed the money Jack owed him to pay the loan shark who had been breathing down his neck for days. The shark had made it clear: if he didn’t receive payment by the end of the week, Clayton could consider himself a dead man. The anxiety was eating him alive, especially since he didn’t know how to explain that he would only have the full amount on Monday. His body and mind were so tense that, despite his scraped face and a fresh bandage on his nose, he decided to go out and try to ease the pressure. He went to the living room, grabbed the keys to his 4x4, and left without any particular destination in mind. He drove toward the city, hoping the night air and the feeling of movement might clear his thoughts and bring him some relief. As he drove along the dark roads, his headlights cutting through the blackness, Clayton reflected on the options left to him. He knew he needed to find a so

Chapter 25After taking hold of the glass, Charlotte looked at her husband with immense affection and love, a feeling that grew stronger each day. The love she felt for him was beautiful, and he made that love grow even more with his loving and tender way. She hoped he would always be like that.She swirled the glass, making the liquid spin, then brought it to her lips, savoring several sips of its pleasant flavor.“Mmm... Delicious.”“I knew you’d like it,” Jack said, coming closer, unable to hold himself back any longer.He took the glass from her hand, drank a few sips, and handed it back to Charlotte. Jack decided to tease her and filled the glass again, leaving it two fingers short of overflowing.“I want you to hold the glass while I play with you. Let’s see how long your concentration lasts,” he said with an amused smile.Charlotte smiled, accepting the challenge. She held the glass carefully, looking at Jack with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. Jack lifted her onto the tabl

Chapter 26The next morning dawned mild and pleasant. Jack got up first and left Charlotte sleeping. Since he had not finished the work in the office the night before, he decided to try to complete everything before even having breakfast, while his wife was still asleep.As he waited for the computer to start up, he remembered the pleasurable night. The images were so intense in his mind that he became aroused. He wondered how it was possible, in just a few weeks, to be so crazy about someone. He felt like a lucky man to have that woman as his wife.In the middle of his thoughts, he heard the office door open. He stood up with a smile on his lips, but his smile quickly disappeared when he saw who it was.Amanda stood still, watching her boss. She gave a slight smile when she saw the outline of his erection through his pants."Jack..." she said, quickly approaching. "I missed you so much... I want to be yours again."Jack grabbed her by the shoulders to keep her away. His expression tu

Chapter 27Meanwhile, at the ranch, Julieta found it strange that her employers were absent from lunch. Usually, her dear Jack always told her when he was not going to eat with everyone. She had been watching Amanda for a few minutes, and the woman seemed nervous and guarded.Jesse had not spoken much since the previous afternoon, when he had fainted from nerves and had not been able to help his boss deal with the thugs. Since then, there had been whispers among his coworkers. Some flapped their arms like chickens and then laughed. He knew that foolishness was aimed at him, and there was no way to defend himself. He did not even know what had happened to make him faint and wake up hours later. His worst humiliation was when his boss came to talk to him about it."Looks like you’re going to faint again, young man," said a cowboy in his middle years."Don’t bother me. I’m tired of this crap," Jesse replied in a low voice."And to think you wanted to face the boss to get with his wife. A

Chapter 28Jack returned to the living room. Charlotte looked at him, still sad and silent. He did not know if it was the best thing to do at that moment, but he decided to try what he had in mind.Looking into her eyes, Jack began to unbutton his plaid shirt. Charlotte blinked a few times as she watched. He opened the last button, revealing his broad, muscular chest, bronzed by the Texas sun. His wide shoulders made Charlotte sigh, remembering all the times she had held on to him at the height of passion.She cleared her throat, looking away, but not for long. She looked back at him as he finished taking off his shirt and tossed it to the floor. He came closer and sat beside her, watching her chest rise and fall quickly with her accelerated breathing. He loved how she reacted to him. To Jack, it was proof that they were made for each other.She tried to look away again, but the urge to see him made her turn her gaze back to the immense man full of desirable muscles. All she wanted wa

Chapter 29Jack went to his office to call the auto body shop to come pick up the car and repair it. Meanwhile, Charlotte, still smiling from the passionate episode in the living room with her husband, decided to go upstairs to take a shower.She turned on the shower and let the hot water cascade over her body, relaxing her tense muscles and mentally reliving the loving moments with Jack. After the shower, she slipped into a soft robe and lay down on the bed. Feeling the effect of the medication, which left her drowsy, she ended up napping for the rest of the afternoon without even realizing it.While Charlotte slept, Jack finished his call with the mechanic, who promised to send a tow truck to collect the BMW the following morning. With the matter resolved, Jack decided to check on Charlotte before dinner.When he entered the bedroom, he found her sleeping peacefully. He smiled, relieved to see her looking calmer and more serene. Without making a sound, he left the room and headed to

Chapter 30Clayton grabbed Charlotte’s arm again with brutal force, his fingers digging into her skin. He yanked her forward, dragging her toward the door. Charlotte fought back, desperately trying to free herself.“Dad, stop! Let me go!” she screamed.Julieta ran to intervene, but Clayton shoved her aside, causing her to stumble and fall.“Clayton, please, don’t do this!” Julieta begged, trying to get up despite the pain.“Stay out of this! This is between me and my daughter!” Clayton growled, pulling Charlotte out of the house by her hair.“Ahh!” Charlotte cried out in pain as her father dragged her.She looked at Julieta with pure terror in her eyes but refused to stop fighting. She scratched at Clayton’s hand, trying to force him to release her.“You have no right to do this!” Charlotte shouted.Clayton ignored Julieta’s pleas and continued dragging Charlotte by the hair toward his car. Finally, Julieta managed to get to her feet and ran after them.“Let her go right now, Clayton!

Chapter 31Clayton stood on his knees at the entrance of the Houston farm, breathing heavily as he watched Jack drive away.The drive back home was silent. Charlotte tried to control her emotions while Jack kept his eyes fixed on the road, his thoughts racing.When they arrived at the farm, Jack helped Charlotte out of the car and led her into the house. Julieta was waiting for them on the porch, anxious.“Thank God, you’re both okay!” Julieta said, hugging Charlotte tightly. “Oh, my dear…”“He’ll never hurt her again, I promise,” Jack said, looking at Julieta and then at Charlotte, who was still trembling. “I’ll give him my part of the deal, and if he comes back anyway, he’ll suffer the consequences.”Julieta helped Charlotte settle on the living room sofa. Jack went to the kitchen and brought a glass of water with sugar for Charlotte, handing it to her with a worried look.“It’s all right now, my love. I’m here with you,” he said, holding her hand.Charlotte looked at him, her eyes

Chapter 32As they went down to the gourmet area, Jack and Charlotte found Victoria Colt, Jack’s cousin, chatting animatedly with Julieta. Victoria’s contagious laugh echoed through the gourmet kitchen.“Jack! Charlotte!” Victoria exclaimed when she saw them approaching, standing up to hug them. “It’s so good to see you! I hope I’m not interrupting.”“Not at all, Victoria. I’m glad you came,” Jack replied, smiling.Charlotte gave a shy smile, still a little shaken by the events of the day, but grateful for her husband’s cousin’s presence.“Please sit down. We were just about to start dinner,” Julieta said, gesturing for everyone to take their seats at the table.“Thank you, Julieta. It smells wonderful,” Victoria praised, sitting beside Charlotte.As everyone settled in, Jack looked at Charlotte and held her hand under the table. Having family and staff around for dinner helped ease the tension.While they ate, Victoria brought up the subject of the thieves Jack had helped arrest. She
