The whitish smoke from my hookah fills my room, I watch with delight the flames dancing, insinuating and seductive, they seem to be calling me to dance a dangerous, lethal dance, I spend a few minutes dominated by a slight torpor, in my troubled mind diffuse memories of the past, I remember of things I would like to forget , the vivid and hateful image of Alicia present at this moment, she was the woman who unfortunately brought me into the world, only because she never played the role of a mother, she was a drug addict and prostituted herself to pay for her addiction, she hated me and made a point of demonstrating this to me daily burning with her cigarette, the strong smell of marijuana making me nauseous, drowning myself several times in the bathtub while taking a shower, I also remember one of her countless lovers beating me in my room while she had sex with another in the next room, only at seven years I got rid of that hell when the guardianship council took me away from the mo
DESPITE living in a dangerous neighborhood I never imagined that one day I would be faced with a situation like the one I am in now, I look terrified at the man sitting in a pool of blood, his own blood, he is still awake but his breathing is very irregular, his skin pale as wax, my will is to run out of that dirty alley and leave him there, but my conscience does not allow me such a cowardly attitude, he is a human being, I cannot just turn my back and leave him there to die. How human would you be if you did this? I take my cell phone out of my purse and type a text message on whatsapp sending it to my friend who shares an apartment with me, she is my last hope at the moment, luckily the answer came quickly, short and direct. " I'm going " I noticed that the man's wound was bleeding a lot, so I took an extreme attitude. I took off his light blue dress shirt and, bundling it up, I put it over his wound and held it until my friend arrived. I smile when I hear the familiar horn fro
Time passed too quickly, a month and a few days had already passed since that day and the man didn't return, we didn't even know if the surgery had gone well or if he had died or something else, we had even dreamed about him a couple of times and woke up excited and drenched in sweat, he was ungrateful, he could have sent a little card saying he was fine but nothing, not even a measly piece of information, the rich are all the same, they just look at us when they need it. As I only worked at night, during the day I had nothing to do, so I dedicated myself to household chores and taking care of my little plants, at that very moment I was on the porch watering the orchids and inhaling the sweet perfume coming from the flowers. who was happy, finishing this task I went to the kitchen preparing lunch that consisted of white rice, stroganoff, straw potatoes, food that I knew very well was Dafne's favorite, a few minutes later she arrived from her job to have lunch, she worked in a salon b
Spending weeks resting in a bed soon getting used to a heavy routine full of adrenaline and danger had been a nightmare, finally recovered I went back to my old life having to fulfill the commitments that had been postponed and this took up a lot of my precious time which meant a lot to me. prevented me from fulfilling my promise to return and reward the simple young women to whom I owed life without them maybe I wasn't here right now, I sigh deeply when the image of one of the young women appears in my mind, the golden hair, those blue eyes that denoted innocence and sweetness, these days when I was under a bed, his image was a constant presence. __ Your head is where Nicolas has been calling you for hours. My girlfriend's sickening voice brought me out of my thoughts, I had forgotten that she was lying beside me on the bed. ___ fucking trina, what happened now? ___ go to hell asshole She got out of bed furious and I followed behind pushing her against the nearby wall, leaning m
It was the weekend, my plan was to stay at home sitting on a couch watching clichéd movies, eating brigadeiros and crying in a sad scene, but my friend had other plans. __ "please Amy let's go.."

I watch the man sitting in front of me with too much impatience, at times I'm trying to convince him why he should collaborate with us, but he's not giving my arm to twist. __"compreenda Vargas you can only gain by collaborating with us ___" I can't accept Aníbal Garcia's habeas corpus request, the Federal is on my case I've been trying to stay out of trouble Vargas was a corrupt judge who contributed to the mafia by filing lawsuits clearing our allies, but in this case he flatly refused to help us due to the fact that the prisoner was now one of the most wanted men in the country, Aníbal Garcia, my underboss who had been incarcerated for about two months, the police were like vultures on his feet wanting him to say the names of members of the mafia and especially to reveal the identity of diablo, the mafia boss, that is me. __" then Vargas? ___ "I will not get involved I took a Swiss army knife out of my pocket and stabbed it into his right hand, his scream of pain was like mu
I arrived at the club at the same time as always, changed in the dressing room and waited to be called. Angel ………. I moved sensually across the stage to the sound of an electrifying song, each movement was performed with mastery and grace. I ended the performance by climbing up on the pole dancing pole and sliding down it, the men's howls invading my eardrums. One of the men climbed on stage grabbing me and I tried to free myself but that man was much stronger than me, the others were having fun watching the scene fortunately two security guards came and helped me, minutes later I was alone in the dressing room crying, this was nothing new it happened to me more often than I would like but it always left me bewildered, I changed out of the sexy clothes for a tight black dress and a denim jacket and then left the club through the back doors. A light rain was falling outside, I held my bag tight and accelerated the pace arriving at a bus stop, I was absently playing with my cell pho
I kept my gaze fixed on Amy who was sitting on the other side of the table nibbling on a lobster, she seemed lost in her own thoughts.. ___Nicolas? I looked away from Amy to her chatty friend. ___ Yes? __What wine is this? ___ Brunello di Montalcino is a premium Italian red wine produced in Tuscany, do you like it? __ It's delicious, I've never had such good wine before.. ___ is my favorite. say And looking directly at the silent angel sitting on the other side of the table she said: ___ And you, Amy, what did you think? She turned her attention to me, moving her delicate hands slightly, I paid attention to the smallest details. _"_Brunello is good but not enough to be my favorite. _ seriously, you are talking about one of the most exquisite and expensive wines ___ It is too intense for my palate, I prefer something sweeter and smoother ___ Like for example? ___ cabernet sauvignon for me is perfect, it has the right amount of sweetness and acidity. she gestures I l
