Mateo quickly turned away from her. What was he doing? He is married and with a child, he shouldn't be longing and yearning after another woman. Aside from the fact that the fact that this woman had a boyfriend that she's happy with, Mateo is a bug name in the business world and any scandal especially one that involves him having an affair would be devastating to his image. He needs to avoid any distractions especially this one."What do you want?" He asked not looking at him."I just wanted to say thank you.""For what?""For trusting me enough to let me settle the issue with your wife and Natalia. You are a huge name and not everyone with your reputation would do this. I have a gift for you." She said dropping a small box in front of him.He looked at the box but did not move to take it. "It's the track we danced to but this time I played it myself and added a few of my own things."He still did not move or say anything and this almost faltered her courage. Why was he bring so di
Li-lah excused herself and stepped out of the hall. She couldn't do it. She couldn't stand to be in the same room with him, she couldn't even pretend. The fact that she was In the same room with the man responsible for the demise of her Father made her stomach feel like she was on a boat being tossed about by a hurricane. She couldn't breathe, and it was something she realized was getting stronger.As she staggered out, into the garden, she relived that moment. The moment her mother and herself cried and begged that her father be spared from the beating. The pain went from emotional to physical. It was suffocating. She felt like she was going to collapse. It was too much, it was more than she could bear. She collapsed to the ground, and the tears flowed.She curled up into a ball, fighting the fear, the darkness, the pain that was controlling her. She tried to escape it, but it wouldn't let her go.The darkness was too overwhelming. She closed her eyes. A small moment of peace.Soon
"Wait!" Mateo called out urgently. "At least let me clean your wound. If you leave it untreated, it could become infected. I've got a first aid kit in one of the rooms. Come on, it won't take long," he said, beckoning Li-lah to follow him. Reluctantly, she complied, her silence masking her apprehension.She followed him timidly into the room, her gaze lingering on the first aid kit he had pulled out. He began to tend to her wound with a gentle touch, and they soon found their hearts beating out of time; a deep connection that neither of them could have anticipated."There are two kinds of people in the world," Mateo said with a sage nod. "Those who need the dance and those who love the dance. It's not just about its mechanics and the moves, but about how it brings people together and its healing powers. You needed it to heal, Li-lah, and that's why you recognised its healing qualities in others. It's special, you know." He said, gently brushing her hair from her face.Li-lah glanced at
He stared at the woman seated on the bed, she was beautiful to behold.Hey eyes were alluring, pulling at his heart, her lips were wide and open slightly as if she were in a daze of some kind.The sheer see through top of her night gown gave Mateo an eyeful of her upper body.His mouth began to water as he slowly looked her over.She was built like a pro wrestling diva.Her long legs went on forever and her boobs weren't tiny but they weren't small either.Mateo was wondering if she were even wearing a bra or anything under the sheer nightgown.Holy shit!Mateo stood, gawking at the woman on the bed.His dick began to stir in his pants as he stared at her from the side.She looked up from the magazine, seeing him for the first time.Her face broke into a bright smile as she hopped up from the bed, grabbing her dainty night gown and putting it on.Mateo's eyes were ablaze and he was shivering."Come here, boy" she smiled as she opened the door for Mateo, giving him the opportunity to g
Grand, magnificent, and fancy are Mrs. Cruz's event keywords for this year. A documentary will be screened, we'll promote Mexican education, do a recital, and we'll organize a global speaking competition in addition to discussions on various jobs. The speakers are listed below.As Li-lah revealed who would be speaking, the crowd was filled with shocked gasps."They are at the top of their fields, and Mrs. Cruz's initiative to also invite lecturers from other countries. On this list, most of the names are verified. So that our kids might establish connections for the future, these folks will be listed as honorary alumni. Li-lah grinned as she concluded the lecture.Applause broke out in the room."It makes sense why she is always the parent's voice. She is quite effective." "yes! she deserves the Post."the mothers present sang the praises of Maria.After the meeting, Maria and Li-lah sat still. Maria appeared to be thinking deeply.Li-lah needed to explain something that was on her m
Li-lah stared at her phone for a very long time. She'd promise herself not to involve anyo else in her plans and be was the last person she wanted to get involved in this but she had vowed to do anything to get her revenge and she was going to stick to her guns no matter what, she dialled up the number and waited.'Hello?''Hello-' she paused again, weighing up her options. This wasn't going to be easy."Hello? This is Delilah Sanchez."Diego immediately dropped the files on his hand and stood to his feet. How can this not be Amelia? Even the voice sounded the same, it only got deeper."Mr Diego, are you there?" the voice said again."Hello, Ms Sanchez, can I help you?""I am calling to ask for a favor. I don't know if you'll be willing to help or not but it's very important."As soon as he heard the pangs of pain in her voice, Diego knew he had to help her."What sort of favor would that be?"Li-lah paused for a while, convincing herself that this was the right thing to do. If she wa
The drive back home was a quiet one. Even though Maria was boiling and felt like venting out but she didn't want to do it while Alma was with them.The moment she was alone with Mateo in their room, she let it all out."Uuuhhh... Do you see it now? Do you see why I hate going to your parents house? Imagine the humiliation."Mateo did not respond. He acted like he did not understand her, like she was speaking in a language that he did not know."Mateo? How are you so calm and quiet about this?""What do you expect me to do? Shout and rant like you're doing? Does it solve the problem?""At least you know there is a problem, hi so you intend to solve it? It's like you don't know the severity of this. If your brother gets a boy child first, you will loose everything. You will loose the company, loose your respect, loose everything."Mateo did not respond. Instead, he took a soft sip of water from his glass."MATEO?!" She yelled."What?""My God! You really aren't concerned. are you?""I w
From the gate down to the main door of the mansion was magnificent, there was an ornate wrought iron fence, with carved stone tops.They passed by several statues, and statues lined the main path as far as the eye could see.The personals on these lawns were amazingly in order, many of them adorned with exotic flowers and trees, and flowers with no specific design to them.Most were surrounded by gardens, and birdbaths, and ponds.It was beautiful, amazing, and just a touch overwhelming.Li-lah couldn't help but gasp in awe once they entered the living room.It had a high ceiling, tall windows, marble floors, and a sweeping staircase that went to the second floor.But it was the furniture that grabbed her attention.It was all top quality, and was in a slightly lighter color to complement the walls.There were also pictures of what Li-lah assumed were the older Greencloaks on some of the walls, and all sorts of other information that she couldn't make out.She was surprised, and almos
