The Salt Fix

"You're here to play nurse, not to pretend you care," he snapped, his cold gaze locking onto hers. "And you are here to waste your life because it's easier than fighting for it," she shot back, her voice shaking but defiant. He wheeled closer, his jaw clenched. "Don't think for a second that you can fix what is so broken." I'm not here to fix you," she whispered, her eyes unrelenting. "I'm here because I believe there's more to you than this bitterness. He was the untouchable golden boy of his family, a magnetic presence destined to inherit a sprawling empire. His charm, his power, and his perfection made him unstoppable until a car crash shattered his life and left him confined to a wheelchair.

But with jealous rivals scheming in the shadows and old wounds threatening to tear them apart, their fight for love becomes a war for survival. Can two broken souls find strength in each other, or will the scars of their pasts destroy them both?

“Do you know what arousal tastes like, little wolf?” The rich deepness of his voice dripped into her ears like honey. His grip on her thighs was firm, scalding, even as her legs wrapped around him. Those emerald eyes darkened with a hunger that ignited every heat pore inside of her. Behind her, Evander’s lean athletic figure pressed against her back, sandwiching her between them. His face buried deep in her neck and the messy red hair sending tingles down her spine with every brush against her cheek. “I'll tell you,” he rasped, answering his brother's question. “It tastes like submission... salt, sweat, and the sweet little whimpers she tries to hide from us.” ****** Rochelle thought agreeing to an open relationship with her long-time crush would bring her closer to love, until he leaked a private video and humiliated her in front of the entire school.

Lucas Solís y yo éramos conocidos en la capital como la pareja más conflictiva. Él me despreciaba por considerarme una mujer sin escrúpulos que lo había obligado a casarse conmigo a toda costa. Yo lo odiaba porque cada noche le guardaba fidelidad a Claudia, mientras que a mí me trataba con una frialdad glacial. Durante ocho años de matrimonio, lo que más me decía fue que me fuera. Cuando llegó la inundación, Lucas, que siempre me había dirigido palabras crueles, me cedió el último lugar en el bote salvavidas. Me gritó: —¡No mires atrás, vete rápido! Elisa, ya no te debo nada. En la próxima vida, solo quiero estar con Claudia. Intenté salvarlo, pero me sujetaron con fuerza. Finalmente, solo pude ver cómo las aguas se lo tragaban. El equipo de rescate llegó tarde. Su cuerpo, ya hinchado y descompuesto por el agua, aún apretaba con fuerza el amuleto de Claudia, imposible de soltar. Más tarde, vendí todas mis propiedades para donarlas a la zona afectada y salté al vacío para seguirlo a la tumba. Al abrir los ojos, me encontré de vuelta en la noche en que drogaron a Lucas.

Al renacer en esta segunda vida, tomé una decisión: mantendría la máxima distancia posible de Santiago Fernández. Cuando lo vi llegar como director a mi empresa, renuncié esa misma tarde. Cuando compró un apartamento en mi edificio, me mudé al otro extremo de la ciudad. Y cuando anunció que dirigiría el imperio familiar desde aquí, solicité mi traslado internacional. En mi vida anterior, lo había obligado a casarse conmigo usando mi embarazo como chantaje. Pero justo el día de la boda, su primer amor regresó. Al vernos juntos en el altar, corrió hacia la terraza y saltó al vacío. Santiago fingió que nada había pasado y se casó conmigo, sonriendo. El día de nuestro aniversario de bodas, nos llevó a mi hija y a mí a hacer puénting. Pero él cortó las cuerdas, y mi hija y yo caímos, muriendo destrozadas. Después de nuestra muerte, se inclinó sobre nuestros cuerpos y rio con crueldad: —¡Si no fuera por ti, Valentina no se habría suicidado! ¡Ahora ve y págale por tu culpa! Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado a esa noche en que usé mi embarazo para obligarlo a casarse.

El día del examen de admisión a la universidad, la amiga de la infancia de mi novio se dio cuenta de que dejó su pase de admisión en casa. Él insistió en regresar para buscarlo por ella, pero yo intenté impedírselo. Al final, ella no se presentó al examen de humanidades. Desesperada, saltó por su propia cuenta a su muerte. Tiempo después, mi novio y yo fuimos admitidos en la Universidad Bloomdale, la mejor del país. Desarrollamos carreras exitosas y ganamos salarios millonarios; nuestro matrimonio era perfecto. Sin embargo, en el aniversario de la muerte de su amiga, mi esposo me apuñaló repetidamente, quitándome la vida. —Fue tu culpa que muriera —dijo—. Si yo hubiera vuelto a buscar el pase de admisión de Ginger, ella no habría perdido la esperanza ni se habría quitado la vida. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, me di cuenta de que estaba de vuelta en el mismo día del examen. La voz ansiosa de mi novio resonó en mi oído: —Amelia, tengo que regresar a buscar el pase de admisión de Ginger. Esta vez, sonreí y dije: —Adelante. Por favor, ten cuidado.
