Persecución Por Amor

At the award-giving ceremony of the end-of-the-year gala, my boss, George White, suddenly announces that he will be adding a bonus round on a whim. "This is the annual department evaluation! The department that comes last shall come onto the stage and receive a tiny encouragement from me!" The huge screen lights up at that moment. The sales achievements accumulated by all departments are being shown in a ranking system. The sales department is ranked first. The operations department comes second, and the marketing department gets third place. As for the administrative department, the sales achievements shown on the screen are none. After all, that department has no KPI to achieve at all. George beams at us from the administrative department. "Everyone from the administrative department, come on up and receive your prize!" Two people can be seen carrying a basket of brooms up the stage. Everyone bursts into laughter instantly. "Come now, sweep away your bad luck with the brooms! Try not to come up as the bottom-ranked department again next year!" George personally thrusts the brooms into our hands. Camera flashes go off beneath the stage—people are clearly taking photos of us. The people from the sales department are the ones laughing the hardest. "Finally, the peeps from the administrative department are getting the recognition they deserve!"

Implorei ao meu marido trezentas e quatro vezes até que ele finalmente concordasse em me acompanhar para levar meu pai ao mar, em sua última jornada nesta vida. Mas, enquanto eu estava na praia e o calor do corpo do meu pai esvaía-se pouco a pouco na cadeira de rodas. Não vi nem sinal do meu marido. A amada dele publicou uma foto nas redes sociais. Era uma imagem dos dois olhando as nuvens nos vales. [Longe do mundo, basta ter você.] Meu dedo escorregou e acabei curtindo a foto. Imediatamente, recebi uma mensagem dele me questionando: — Quantas vezes já te disse para não incomodar a Rita? Se não consegue controlar as próprias mãos, nós vamos nos divorciar! Já nem me lembro de quantas vezes ele usou o divórcio para me ameaçar. Eu, Laura Souza, já estava farta de escutar aquilo. — Tudo bem, vamos nos divorciar.

A los 24 años, Sonia Sánchez medía 1.70 m y pesaba 90 kilos. A los 25, seguía midiendo 1.70 m, pero ya había bajado a 50 kilos. En solo un año, perdió 40 kilos y pasó de ser el hazmerreír de todos a convertirse en el centro de todas las miradas. Tenía una cintura fina, curvas perfectas, piernas largas, piel clara y un rostro precioso. Por sentarse en la mesa equivocada durante una cita, terminó casándose con Javier Cejudo, el heredero de la familia más poderosa de la capital. Javier era famoso por ser frío, severo y exigente; jamás se le veía cerca de una mujer. Todos esperaban verla fracasar. Decían que esa familia la echaría tarde o temprano. Pero la realidad era muy distinta: noche tras noche, Javier perdía el control con ella, la besaba con una pasión feroz y la dejaba temblando, sin aliento… *** Javier era guapo, rico, con abdominales marcados y un físico imponente. Se había casado con Sonia como parte de una alianza empresarial, y su idea de un matrimonio ideal era sencilla: respetarse y no meterse en la vida del otro. En la cama, eran fuego puro: intensos, ardientes y completamente entregados. Pero, fuera de ella, apenas parecían pareja: cordiales, distantes, casi como dos desconocidos. A Sonia parecía no importarle si él tenía gripe, dolor de cabeza o hasta un esguince; lo único que decía era: —Cuídate. Si él se iba de viaje de negocios durante un mes entero, Sonia no le mandaba ni un solo mensaje. Ella le daba toda la libertad del mundo, pero él se sentía cada vez más insatisfecho. Cuando volvió de uno de sus viajes, le impuso tres reglas. A partir de entonces, todos los días, como mínimo, Sonia tenía que abrazarlo veinte veces, besarlo cuarenta y llamarlo "esposo" ochenta veces. Y, si no cumplía, se aplicaría la cuarta: hacer el amor trece veces en una sola noche. Sonia no lo entendía. Si su matrimonio era solo una fachada, ¿por qué tenía que abrazarlo, besarlo y llamarlo "esposo" todos los días? Javier le tomó los pies helados y se los colocó sobre el abdomen para calentárselos. —No quiero seguir fingiendo. Quiero que seamos una pareja de verdad. Quiero enamorarme de ti… y que tú también te enamores de mí. Quiero que tengamos un bebé.
