Had something bad happened? Or not necessarily bad for him, but for her. For them.
Yuri leaned her back against the wall and waited for a few minutes. Maybe he was still working. I should call. Or no, she didn't want to look desperate either... But it was normal to worry, right? When one was with someone and the other didn't show up, it was understood that something had happened.
He clicked on his name. She was holding her phone to her ear about fifteen minutes after arriving when she heard the echo of heavy footsteps down the stairs. A rare smile crossed his lips. What kind of freak would walk up to the top floor of a skyscraper...? The answer left her stunned. The first thing he happened to see was her blonde hair. Then a half”unbuttoned shirt, an unknotted tie, and his jacket resting on his arm.
Marc seemed defeated. Then he confirmed it, when he looked up from the ground and met her at first glance, as if he had reached for some kind of radar. His hair wa

Although she was afraid of that blinding hatred that veiled her face at that moment. “...remind him that I exist, that I am the living memory of what he did. In case there was some humanity in him and there was a chance that he felt a trace of regret. It wouldn't occur to me to smack him in the face, even if I wanted so badly. I would break it to Marlon. But him? And give him the pleasure of knowing that we are the same? Not. “The same? Why would you be the same? You don't look alike at all. “I've used my connections to break the law several times. “Yes? Have you used them to cover your flaws or your sordid stories? "No, not for that... “You've used them to investigate, Marc. And you haven't even done anything wrong with that information. Not good not bad. How can you say that you look alike? A pout escaped him. She managed to hold back her tears in time, but a tear escaped her and ran swiftly down her cheek. "Baby...do

“Yes.“I'm glad. Shall we pick up Verónica?“Please.He watched out of the corner of his eye as Yuri tried to control a grimace, quite successfully. It touched him that, despite not loving Nick at all, he tried to keep it quiet to make the trip easier for him. He certainly didn't have to; Marc wasn't shy when he wanted to say something nasty about Moore."You'll end up loving her as much as I do," he told her as soon as he put on the belt. Yuri looked at him with the intention of answering that he had nothing against her, but as every time she lied, she ended up sighing in resignation."And how much is that?" Much?“Very much. At first it is a bit difficult. She's very ironic, has no scruples and sometimes gets too territorial, but she's pure loyalty, and one of the smartest people I know.“I dont know. I thought he was laughing at me when I saw you…” He shook his head. But that does n

for the good and the infernal circles. If up there, or down there, justice was also a toy... or on the contrary, they were not bribeable.While the gravediggers did the same, some of the guests came closer to throw flowers that were later covered by the shovels. Marc was not even tempted to make his contribution. Neither was Jesse: instead of paying his respects with a downcast air, he was conversing quietly with Victoria, probably about things that didn't have much to do with her father. The one who did take a step forward was Marlon, capturing the boy's gaze as he tossed a red rose onto the fresh ground. The eldest did not change his face. He just raised his eyebrows, in greeting, surprise, or... who knew what. Then he shifted his gaze to Yuri.Involuntarily, Marc stepped forward and covered part of the female body. It was not a way to delimit their territory; it was a shield, an expression of protection from danger. That interested Marlon enough to smile subtly. His

"Has anyone ever done it to you?" You told someone all this and they left you? Sabina, maybe?“No never. I have never discussed this with anyone. That's why I need you to give me a second and not go to the fucking door. I have no experience. I'm a virgin in some things and I need…” She took a deep breath, “go slow.Yuri swallowed and reserved comment. She, too, had been a virgin and he had still pursued her relentlessly, although it was a different case because Yuri hadn't told him until a certain point. And from there, he had to say that he had been understanding. Which didn't mean he had lost interest in her. He only held back so as not to make her feel violent. In short, the simile was perfect, because he understood his position and relaxed a little.“Last night I didn't tell you anything about what really happened. Or the effects that kind of life had on me. I summarized it because I didn't want to... I didn't want to go too de

I was just a kid. A malnourished, sick, helpless child, broken with pain, at the mercy of a son of a bitch father, without the only person he loved. Yuri's life hadn't been much easier either.She blamed herself as a child for the separation of her parents, and kidney failure did not help her to fully integrate into the group of girls at the institute, because most of the time she had to study from home. But he had never lacked love. At eleven years old, she was playing dolls with her sister and cousin, running after Caleb through the garden of their house in Barcelona and drawing hearts with honey on the pancakes. And he was... suffering. However, the two of them had arrived at the same place. Now everyone envied him, everyone wanted to be like him.My God, was it possible to love someone so much? For what it had been and for what it was now. I was his number one fan. But she didn't tell him because she could tell from her body tension that she didn't want to talk abo

Yuri knew before opening her eyes that she was in Marc's bed and that he was the one holding her. When he stretched out, he did so with a satisfied smile and trying not to disturb his sleep. He was dying to go to the bathroom, but he remembered that he didn't like her getting out of bed and leaving him alone, and that somehow he needed her to sleep. So he decided to stay as he was. Then she spent a while watching him to wallow a bit in the magic that, surprisingly, only she knew how to do. Give you peace in your dreams.The truth was that Yuri had had many moments throughout her life to feel important. But not in a good way. Of course it was important when he paralyzed the life of his family having to enter a hospital. Aside from the day she graduated or got her first job, being in the limelight had always scared her. She preferred to go unnoticed, to be irrelevant, something she couldn't do because they always ended up pointing to her as the sick girl. Hating to stand out fr

"Let's see if something sticks to you."«Let him cook, if he likes it»."Don't be taken advantage of."“At eight o'clock."Do you want Yasin to take you?" she proposed, resting her hands on the counter; one on each side of her still”open legs. A look escaped the mole. He has fallen in love with you. He will celebrate seeing you again."Then if it's not a bother, great." I like to please men who have feelings for me.Marc smiled as if he had remembered a secret. His mouth came close to her chin, which he licked lazily."You always get dirty when you eat, you know that?" he asked hoarsely."I did it on purpose." To get your attention."You're in luck, because this hotline belongs to you." He does not answer other clients or other calls than yours.Yuri leaned forward and shamelessly placed her hand on his erection. He closed his fingers around the bulge.“Well, I'm going to have

“She... I can't speak for her feelings. But I think she was forced to go through a series of misfortunes that she could have perfectly avoided... If she hadn't been afraid. If I hadn't been alone. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if he had come to see me earlier, when I was pregnant. I don't know if I would be happy, but at least it wouldn't be impossible for me to be happy again. In case it ever was.“Marlon is a psychopath, Yuri. He knows how to pretend that he is a good person so well that it is terrifying. If Veronica bought it, which is the opposite of a gullible person... Imagine what he's capable of. If you ever meet him..."You don't even have to ask me," she said, very serious. I'll use my bag against him.Mark smiled softly.“I would prefer that you change to the sidewalk and walk away."Well, that's how it will be." I have no desire to mix with that man.Marc nodded gratefully. They were silent for a l
