THE INEVITABLE

Damián Feldman"Sir... Mr. Feldman."I slowly opened my eyes. I felt the warm weight of Amelie's head resting on my shoulder. Noticing it, she was startled and immediately sat up, flushed."Sir, your father is out of surgery. He is conscious and wants to speak with you."The nurse woke me up with a soft voice. I looked at the clock; it was already past two in the morning. I turned my gaze toward Amelie and frowned, feigning anger, although deep down I felt nothing of the sort."I'm coming with you, Damián," she said, quickly straightening her skirt as she stood up."No. My father asked to speak with me. I don't think your presence is necessary."The nurse, somewhat uncomfortable, cautiously interrupted us."Actually, he asked for both of you to come in.""But you just said he wanted to speak only with me.""Yes... in case he was alone. Please, follow me."Amelie, with a satisfied smile, walked behind the nurse. I followed her, enveloped in the faint scent of her perfume that had soake

A MISTAKE

Amelie MansonI felt the brush of his lips against mine, and I swear everything around me seemed to vanish. My body trembled under his spell, and my hands... did nothing to stop him.Damián kissed me in a way that unnerved me, because while my mind screamed for me to push him away, to hit him and run, my body, my heart, my desires... urged me to continue, to melt into him more, to return the kiss with a passion that burned inside me.Without breaking the kiss, he led me toward the bedroom. His tongue slipped into my mouth, intertwining with mine, and lower, in my belly, an uncontrolled storm erupted.With precise movements, he took off my jacket, then my blouse. I was left only in my bra and skirt. He separated for a moment to catch his breath and looked at me with desire, with lust!"It's a trap! Right? It's a damned trap!" I cried, clenching my fists.But he didn't answer. He remained silent, impassive. He unbuttoned his tie, then his shirt, and ripped it off in a rage. His eyes glo

FATAL DISCOVERY

Damián FeldmanSeeing her lying there, I felt my whole world change in an instant. The night before, I had only gotten carried away by my body's crazy impulse and by my father's words about having a third child.But... this... this was a real madness that cut me to the core.It was hard to admit, but I had loved sleeping with her. Not for the body, nor for the pleasure. I had liked the silence afterwards, her light breathing as she fell asleep, the way her hair fell across my chest. That screwed me up more than anything else.That's where I would draw the line. And my father had to know that."So it happened?" I heard his voice behind me.I turned slowly, a knot in my stomach."Yes. But I don't want to talk about it, Father. I feel dirty... like a traitor. Like an idiot who sold his soul for a sick plan. And if you decide I'm no longer worthy of your trust, I'll understand."Bartolomeo frowned... and then smiled."Don't talk nonsense. You did well. Now we just have to wait for Amelie

A RACING HEART

Amelie MansonI was typing senselessly in front of the computer. The letters danced, the ideas evaporated. That morning it was impossible to concentrate, because after what happened with him, it would be the first time I saw him again.Although my mind begged him not to show up, my chest wished the opposite.The elevator doors opened. I looked at the clock: nine sharp.Damián, impeccable, imposing as always, walked straight to his office. He didn't greet anyone. He didn't even look at me.I had prepared what I planned to tell him if he dared to bring up the subject. I wouldn't fall for his game. If he planned to talk to Bartolomeo, let him. I was ready to face the consequences.But he didn't say anything.Not that day...Nor the next...Nor the third.He just came in, worked, and disappeared. He avoided me as if I didn't exist.I, on the other hand, sought to provoke an encounter. Not out of desperation, but because I needed to know what the hell he was planning.I saw him going down

CHAOS AND A PREMONITION

Amelie MansonFortunately for me, Damián was out of the city. He had been closing a deal abroad for more than two weeks, and although his absence should have brought me peace, what happened between us kept hammering at my mind. It was impossible to forget.That morning, the phone rang persistently."Amelie... Mom," my younger sister's voice sobbed on the other end. "She had a heart attack.""What?! Danna, it can't be."I didn't wait for an answer. I grabbed my purse and ran out of the office; the mere idea of losing my mother made me feel miserable; it had already happened with my father, I couldn't allow her to leave me too.I arrived at the hospital breathless, asked for her name, and a nurse led me down a hallway to her room. My mother lay in bed, with an IV in her arm, and her eyes barely open."Mom..." I whispered, taking her hand, a lump in my throat.My sisters cried silently, huddled in a corner."What happened?" I asked, trying to understand while my eyes didn't leave my moth

PREGNANT?

Damián Feldman"Are you sick?" I asked again, unable to hide my anxiety.Amelie was pale. Seeing me, she swallowed with difficulty."I don't think that's any of your business, Maximilien." She walked past me without looking at me, with that wounded pride that characterized her so much.I gently took her arm, stopping her from moving forward."It could very well be my business."Since that night, only one possibility had been going through my head: pregnancy. The discomfort, the nausea, that distressed face... none of it was a simple coincidence."Oh, please... I know you want to see me dead, but at least try to hide it."She tried to keep walking, but I caught up to her again."What are you running from? Amelie, tell me the truth. Is there a possibility that you are pregnant?"My nerves betrayed me, and I couldn't help but ask her directly. She immediately blushed and firmly denied it."It's none of your business, Damián. If I were pregnant, it would have nothing to do with you."Her

BAD LUCK

Amelie MansonDamián was going to be the death of me. My nerves were shot while the nurse collected my samples. I prayed, silently, that it was all a false alarm. That I wasn't pregnant.It was absurd, I knew it. Rosalía was expecting Armando's child, and I... I who had never been able to have children, now thought I was at that point of uncertainty. Although the last medical results had been hopeful, there was always the possibility of an error. I couldn't be pregnant.I went to visit my mother once more. She was sleeping soundly. Beside her, my sisters watched me in silence, with those accusing eyes, silently pointing at me.I didn't blame them. They were growing up, learning to defend themselves from the world without me. Perhaps they still didn't understand that I had made mistakes, yes, but also that I was here to correct them."What have the doctors said, Hanna?" I asked in a low voice, approaching the eldest."That she needs rest. She survived by a miracle, but she can't suffer

DECISIONS THAT COST

Amelie MansonI arrived at the mansion with a broken heart. I collapsed onto the bed and cried until the pain in my ribs forced me to stop. The decision I had to make was ruthless, a sin that would drag me to hell, but what other way out did I have? I was condemned, no matter which side the coin landed on.And as if that weren't enough..."Amelie... Amelie, darling, are you there?" Bartolomeo's voice sounded behind the door. He had been home for a week since he left the hospital.I wiped my tears, took a deep breath, trying to contain the lump in my throat. But, as expected, he opened the door without waiting for my permission."Amelie, darling, is everything alright?"I covered my face with my hands and nodded without looking at him."Yes, everything is fine. Do you need anything?""Well... I know about your mother, and I wanted to know what I can do for you all."He spoke so gently that for a moment I wanted to believe his intentions were sincere. That single display of concern brok

OBJECTIVE NOT ACHIEVED

Damián FeldmanMy father looked at me with unease. He shook his head, trying to process what I had just told him."So... she's not pregnant?""I already told you no, Bartolomeo. Maybe only twice wasn't enough."He frowned, as if he was still waiting for another answer."But did you do it right? Everything?""I don't want to go into detail, but yes. I did what I had to. I don't have anything else to do, Father.""Are you going to give up just like that? As if there were no other options. Amelie wants to leave me, to leave this family... and I had to blackmail her again. It was vile, I know. I told her she could only leave if she gave me an heir."I opened my eyes, stunned."What did you say? What did you do, Bartolomeo? What kind of human being are you becoming?""A desperate father who only wants the best for you, Damián!" he shouted, exasperated."That's exactly what I don't understand. If you were really desperate for me, you would allow me to choose my wife, you wouldn't impose hav

THE THIRD TIME MUST BE THE CHARM

Damián Feldman"Just as you hear it, son. When you had just been born, one of the employees who worked with us had an affair with a gardener and got pregnant. Your mother and I decided to support her so she could have her baby and continue working with us. But, as soon as Rosalía was born, the woman disappeared without a trace. We didn't have the heart to give her up for adoption, so we simply decided to raise her as our daughter."I froze. I felt a sudden dizziness with his confession. I never imagined that Rosalía didn't share my blood. Everything fit now; that woman couldn't love or feel compassion for us, because Feldman blood didn't run in her veins, even if she carried our last name."Why are you telling me this now, Father?" I asked, frustrated.He crossed his arms with a serious expression."Because I know the evil that dwells in her. Although she is not our biological daughter, she has lived in confusion and has been making wrong decisions for years. Listen carefully... go to
