Mariana looked at me dumbfounded as if I had grown two heads. I made a questioning gesture because I did not understand her attitude. She tried to gesticulate, but then she closed her mouth and continued speaking "Sofia, did you sleep with Nickolas "more than a question it was a statement "with that Italian-Greek billionaire, a businessman who owns the Sebastini hotels and the Papandreu Construction Company and the largest vineyards in Italy. Apart from that, he is an investor, he always rescues companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy and turns them into great emporiums, they call him "King Midas", in allusion to the legend of that king, because they say he can turn all the businesses he undertakes into gold. He has many investments in Europe, for God's sake Sofia, how can you fly so high, he is much older than you, he is one of the richest men in Europe, besides he is very handsome, but he is married". "Mariana: How do you know all that about him? I only

When Nickólas left, I sat down on the floor, rested my head on my knee, curled up, and began to cry as if I were a child. Everything we had said to each other caused me so many feelings, I refused to listen to him because he would surely try to convince me with his words. I moaned for several minutes, while Mariana and Rene comforted me caressing my back, what I had to thank him for was that while I cried my pain, everyone remained silent. When I managed to calm down they helped me to get up, they took me inside the house, and there my friend began to reprimand me. “For God's sake, Sophía, have you gone crazy? What were you thinking about? You are a fool, how could you tell him those lies, that he meant nothing to you and even worse that you were Rene's girlfriend and had been intimate with him, I'm surprised, lately you don't even think about what you do or say. Now he's never going to believe you.&r

His words and attitude caused me distress and I immediately tried to justify myself. “I didn't know what I know now, and I want to clarify what happened in my house,” I started to speak nervously, but then I gathered my courage. “I was hurt and upset Nick and I said things that are not true,” I justified myself in front of him. “I don't care what you have to say to me, I don't want anything to do with a woman like you, who gets out of one man's bed to go fuck another,” he said in a strong tone without trying to dissemble in front of his companions, who stepped back a little to give us privacy. “No Nick, that's not it, that's why I came to tell you the truth” I started again trying to explain myself. “Don't be cynical Sophia you even showed up in this office with your lover” he emphasized with a look of hatred, which chilled my blood, but I c

I hadn't stopped thinking about Sophia, my thoughts about her were recurrent, I couldn't get her out of my head, she was in my blood poisoning my whole being, I thought about listening to her, I couldn't bear to be away from her any longer, I don't know what had caused that in me, but the feeling wasn't pleasant at all. Maybe I had been wrong and there was hope for us. She had touched me deeply, I felt something different for her, that I had never experienced with other women, I could not fool myself, Liuggi was right, I had to give myself a chance, talk to her and fix all our differences, I concluded happily. Betty, my secretary, interrupted my hesitations, telling me that my nine o'clock appointment was waiting for me, I smiled pleased, I was sure it was Sophia. At that very moment, I received a call on my cell phone from one of my security team members, who informed me that Sophia had been followed and that the day before she had moved in

I felt the rage boil up inside me, fucking bitch! I thought, when was I going to learn. That woman's nature was that of a reptile like all of them, I couldn't have anything serious with her, otherwise, my life would be hell, I couldn't forget it, I had to keep it always in mind. I controlled myself and waited for her to appear. Minutes later, she came out with a big smile, lighting up her whole face, as if what she saw was the most important thing in her life, and expressed: “I'm ready, Nick, I'm only yours.” I couldn't control my anger and pointed harshly at him. “Really? I'd have to lock you under seven keys for that to be true because as usual, you live lavishing sympathy on anyone who crosses your path.” “What's wrong with you Nick, why are you upset?” she asked me squinting her beautiful eyes. “That's not your pr
