Louise The theater lights were already off, as far as I could see the movie had already started, it was romance and I hated romance, not for anything, just for the simple reason that none of it existed."It's dark, isn't it?" - Maurício was nervous, I've never seen him like this. - "What a mess!""I think this is normal." - I answered and only later realized that I spoke in a cold way. - Are you afraid of the dark?When he said that we would go to a distant place, I didn't think that this place would be a movie theater. I like it, but it's not the thing I would choose. I chose a special dress, sky blue, with a neckline and a side opening in the left leg that showed my legs when I walked."Is something bothering you? Is everything all right, Louise?" - His hand touched my shoulder and pulled me closer to him."It's just, I'm not really into movies, you know? I don't like romance movies either."Maurício stroked my chin with his thumb, while his other hand touched mine, brought it to h
EmmaI woke up with a tightness in my chest and when that happened, I always received bad news for the day. My thoughts were on Louise, because Mauricio knew how to take care of himself very well. I woke up and didn't take long to go to my office."Good morning Jason, aren't you two back yet? - I asked even though I knew the answer would be no.""Nothing, I thought they were with you.""Of course not. How stupid of me to think they could be here.""They could have gone to a hotel, Emma. You know how adventurous Maurício is." For a moment I almost freaked out, Mauricio has already been in a car accident and almost lost his life when he was 19, I guess the years go by and his irresponsibility at the wheel only increases, I don't trust him driving drunk, even though he told me he was going on a romantic date. His stress has lessened with Louise, at least, she is one of mine and I love having her as my daughter-in-law. I tried to shake off the thought that something bad was happening and
EmmaMaurício called to say that he was already home with Louise, but he didn't say exactly what happened. But if they are not in Colombia they are in the house that Mauricio has here in Los Angeles, this is all very strange and I need some explanation.(...)Louise was in shock after having returned with Mauricio, the shot hit Louise lightly, I don't even know why Mauricio brought this doctor with him. Mauricio looked at me as if he was accusing himself of something."Before he could finish speaking I took Louise's hand and led her into the room.""You can go, she'll stay here until she feels well. In a little while I want to talk to you, now go ahead."Maurício was not a very friendly person, but I can assure you that he would never do anything to hurt her."I'll be on the balcony." - His serene gaze went to Louise and I'm sure he thought about going over to her, but before he could do that I scolded him. - Louise...A few hours of the day had passed and she was still silent. We wer
Roberto Before I went to help Mauricio, I needed to have a talk with Chalice and make it clear that I never wanted another woman after I met her."Maria, you could dispense with the others and you can have and then also. We will spend some time at Emma's house. Louise is not doing very well." - I asked Maria while packing my bag and spying from outside the room, but she really wanted to grab me by the neck right then and there."What are you hiding from me? What's wrong with Louise?" - She had her arms crossed and was staring at me."Louise is fine, when we get back she'll come along. But I need one more favor from you." - I asked, facing her and she knew I had something really serious to say. - "Keep an eye on Juliana, even from afar, you know that she has always been a reliable person here, Maria. But Juliana doesn't have one percent of the character you have, she's never fooled me, and Mauricio has always been very detached from life. Can you break this one for me? I swear I'll le
MaurícioWe were now in a house underground, with James and Jenny, Alicia managed to get free, but it won't be for long either."Ready?" - I asked Louise before I opened the door and she was confronted with the scene."Go ahead." - As I opened the door I saw her eyes light up, it was a bit of a surprise to me.Louise was walking with a certain difficulty, but seeing James there bound in chains, like a ferocious beast waiting for his punishment for such an event he committed in his past so present."Look at that... now he brings his bitch too. So, Louise. How does it feel to give it to this guy?" - I was ready to punch James anywhere in the face, but Louise stopped me."No, not now. So, James..." Her laugh made me even more surprised." - Maurício fucks like hell, I'd let him fuck you, but too bad there's no tomorrow. LouiseI was being driven by hate, it wasn't bad, just something new to me that I was loving. It was noticeable how much Mauricio was looking forward to seeing James on t
Two weeks later...Louise I woke up with gastura and an immeasurable heat in the middle of my legs, I got up carefully not to make too much noise and saw Emma and Mauricio on the balcony, why are they up so early? I walked on tiptoe, but it was inevitable, for Emma nor Mauricio saw me, but Jason made sure to speak my name loud and clear."Good morning, dear Louise, won't you join us at the table?" - Jason speaks, taking Emma and Mauricio's attention."Were you just leaving?" - Emma smiles and looks at Maurício, who gets up and leaves the table."I just woke up. Where are you going? Is my presence bothering you so early?" - I opened my arms and watched him leave without even answering me. "Who said he left because you arrived, dear? He was just waiting for you to wake up, now sit here and eat, because you look very pale to my eyes. Is there something you're hiding from us, by any chance?" - Emma asked with her elbow propped on the table."What do you suppose I'm hiding? The pallor mu
EmmaIt was such a beautiful day and then suddenly the news came about Louise, I couldn't imagine that she could be so sick. I suspected that she was pregnant, but that was better than an illness."I can imagine how sad he must be about this. Why didn't he come back? Mauricio seemed so macho to me…""He doesn't need a gender to feel pain, even if it is in other people. I also thought that Mauricio would be a man who wouldn't fall in love with anyone, but I was also wrong and I am very happy that he loves Louise. So, he has every right to suffer for everything that has happened and is happening to her. And, he is drinking with Roberto.""Hey, I'm not judging, just saying that I never thought that of him. He has the genius of his mother, who doesn't bend to anyone, you wouldn't think otherwise."Jason was the guy who gave me his house, in fact, for me and my son when I got out of jail, I didn't even have a place to live and if I am well today, I owe it to him too. Many times he defended
Louise"Hey, how are you?" - There were some blood marks on his shirt, and when he came in he didn't have them on. The worst part was that I was wearing it."Hooray! What's this?" - I pulled the cloth with the stain close to my nose and actually smelled blood."This is that bastard's blood. I saw the images from the cameras." - He spoke in a natural way, as if it was the most natural thing in the world to say that he killed someone."I'm sorry. It was all my fault. I am a mess. I didn't mean to mess up his life." - I felt like a burden in Mauricio and Emma's life, even more so now, sick. At no point did I want this, and now I feel terrible and guilty about it all."It's not your fault, Louise. And you're not a mess. You're the best thing that could have come into my life, you know." - Maurício hugged me before we got into the car and gave me a tender kiss while he caressed my face. - "I think we deserve a night alone, I promise I'll be as gentle as possible!" - He whispered in my ear,
