Upon arriving home, thirty minutes later, Lora entered the apartment's living room, already removing her heels. I was tired, but not physically. The kitchen light was on, and voices could be heard coming from the room, so I soon learned that his friend, Drake, had arrived from his brief trip to Los Angeles.Lora dragged herself to the kitchen, noticing that the voices were male. One of them was recognized instantly; Jean Lins. It was like enough of the electricity her body still felt after her unexpected encounter with Banks. The woman sighed, thinking of a thousand reasons for this visit, especially since it was so late. She decided, finally, to just try to drown out the destructive thoughts she had when her father was around and walked into the kitchen.At the round table, Jean and Drake were enjoying snacks and sipping wine like good friends. Lora felt her stomach turn over.- "Hi, babe" Drake got up, walked over to her and hugged her tightly enough to steal her breath.- "Hi. I mi

After work was over, Lora felt more at home in the greater Las Vegas. That place was starting to feel like home. The black glass building where he worked, the clubs on the Strip where he passed until he reached the apartment, the streets always busy with cars and people. The mixed scents of luxury and urbanism are no longer new. Finally, she was adjusting to the chaos.She got out of the taxi in front of the building where she lived. Looking at the building, so tall it seemed to reach the sky, she thought she might be getting used to the idea of living so well for the first time in many, many years.The woman would be delighted at the idea of having friends, going out drinking and dancing, living in a good place with her friend and being able to enjoy a normal life. No neglectful and abusive parents, no harassing bosses and misogynistic men, no financial hardship, and most importantly, no lies.Lora was in a trance, looking up and imagining a thousand chances. There was no reason to s

The woman felt panic spread through her body. It was dusk, with little movement in this exquisite part of town. The all-too-familiar fear flashed through her mind with memories of the past, when she'd had no chance to defend herself. Her demons were opportunity hunters, always on the lookout for triggers that could send the redhead over the edge.- "Just talk" he repeated, but she didn't hear him, as she was busy digging her heels into the floor while trying to free herself from the hand tight around her wrist.Lora didn't see or hear the events around her orbit. She was focused on the feeling of helplessness snaking through her mind.However, when the raucous rumble of a speeding car was heard, the man coaxing Lora became alert, so much so that he immediately released the woman's wrist. The car, much like a machine, screeched its tires sharply and audibly across the asphalt when it stopped.The lamborghini Huracan parked diagonally, taking up a considerable part of the track, facing

- "I don't..." with each second, and with each word, the man dressed as a beggar walked away faster. He was afraid, fearing that Evans' glaring danger would become a real risk.- "It was a mistake. I'm sorry"Evans took a step toward the man, determined to commit a crime on the spot, but he took off in a troubled run, his arms twitching and legs unsteady.The air charged with pent-up anger still lingered in the balmy Vegas night. The ever-illuminated city was heavy at that moment, full of questions to be answered and impulses to be controlled.Lora, despite having witnessed every second, still hadn't had time to process everything in her mind. She felt exposed and unprotected, just like in her childhood. However, for the first time, she had help. The angel that his innocent self wanted, to hold him and assuage his fears, had finally arrived.He could be her hero, but the allusion to something kind didn't go with those blue eyes. The look so like a gemstone also carried large doses of

And when the next morning came, the day was ripe for the limitless fun people found only in Vegas. Lora Lins got up from her huge bed, in front of a winter fireplace, feeling like the most privileged woman in town for having that vision.Lora put on her fine silk robe and walked out of the room. The sunny morning shimmered outside the apartment, illuminating the sins of Las Vegas, gilding its promiscuous image. The room was filled with large windows, all facing the most desirable part of the city, the Strip.Even with the blinding glare of the sun, her day took on shadows when she arrived in the apartment's living room and found her father. Jean Lins was sitting on one of the sofas in the living room, next to a man in a suit and Drake. His friend looked like a surfer next to two mercenaries; completely displaced. He wore pajamas while the men wore dark suits. The image clearly said that Lora and Drake had been approached without any warning.- "Good morning" she closed the robe more p

- "Tell me more about Costa Rica" Drake asked, staring into Daliah's brown eyes.- "That underdeveloped country? Not really. We're in Vegas, honey. Let's talk about this paradise" she replied seriously, but made Drake laugh.- "My God, she's amazing" he said, looking at Lora with an expression of contentment.- "Well, I'm curious about your relationship. You live together, look at each other with affection and show incredible intimacy and chemistry. How can you just be friends?" Daliah was surprised at how close the friends were.- "Lora is all I have, and I love her like a sister. I'm a nice guy, I know that, and we would be the couple of the century. But I see something in her that goes beyond attraction and romance. We are family" Drake murmured her words of affection as she looked at the horizon stretching out the window, inspiring her thoughts on moments she lived with the redhead by her side.- "There's no attraction. So you're gay?" Daliah frowned her perfectly plucked brows.-

At first, the car made a slow turn. The speed did not reach one hundred kilometers per hour. The pilot was just getting to know the power of the engine, letting his experience take care of the moment.On the second lap, his foot weighed on the pedal. Every second the sports car got faster, finishing the curves in record time. Evans was focused but also relaxed. That was the only time he could turn off all his senses and worry only about crossing the finish line.When he passed the pit stop, the booming and powerful noise was even more explicit. Steady, steady accelerating made the tires resonate with friction on the asphalt.Fascinated by Evans' headstrong way of driving, Lora couldn't contain the urge to get up. The woman was too agitated to watch from afar. And as she walked forward, she heard the taps of Lana's heels. The blonde was leaving the racetrack pavilion and entering the safe side of the track.- "Lora" she called. The sound was muffled by the car's engine growling in acce
