This situation has made me extremely nervous, and I have a hard time hiding it as I am on my way to meet Amir Saffif. The driver parks in front of the luxurious hotel where the businessman is staying and opens the passenger side door. "Mr. Saffif is waiting for you in the central restaurant of the hotel," he explains to me, and I forcefully smile at him."Thank you," I answer and then walk towards the entrance. I look for my cell phone in the bag and take it out to write a message to Alejandro, but apparently, he has written to me first.**I am behind you. Do not look back. I'll sit a few tables away from you and Saffif, and I won't take my eyes off you. ****Thank you. ** I reply immediately. So, I put the cell phone in my bag and finally I went into the hotel lobby to look for the restaurant where the driver told me that Amir was waiting for me.Arriving at the restaurant, I ask for him, and one of the waitresses takes me to the table where he is waiting for me. Saffif recognizes me

It's been hours since I got home, and Lucas isn't here or answering my calls. I want to tell him everything that happened and that there are no misunderstandings between the two. I try to stay awake, waiting for him to arrive, but my eyes close with how tired I am, forcing me to go to rest.[..]The following day:Dammit! I scream inside as nausea forces me to rush out of bed and go to the bathroom. I barely manage to get in front of the toilet and turn my stomach."Bella... are you okay?" I hear Lucas ask me, but I can't turn around to see him because my stomach turns again. "Our son is giving you a pretty tough battle, huh?" he comments animatedly and holds my hair to help me.I can barely compose myself, and as I do, I go straight to the sink to brush my teeth. Lucas doesn't mind following and staying behind me; I can see his reflection in the mirror. He has messy hair and puffy eyes. However, seeing him wearing only black boxer briefs makes all my attention go straight to his perf

Everything is dark because of the blindfold they have placed on my eyes, they have me tied to a chair, and I still don't know what they want from me. I hear them mutter and a big echo every time something moves. I'm scared, and I'm afraid they might do something to me that hurts my baby or kill me."Boss, Princess Di Marco is already with us; what do you want us to do?" I hear one of them asking and feel chills running through my body.Have they kidnapped me for money? What if it was Sandoval? What if he found out who I am? My heart beats desperate, my hands sweat, and as much as I try to move them to untie myself, it is impossible."I understand perfectly; it will be as you say," I listen again. "Well, M5, the time has come. The boss wants us to get rid of the little princess so she can't open her sweet little mouth," he explains.I hear some steps approaching me and try not to cry, but I am so scared. I want to scream, but they have me gagged “doll….” I hear a voice near me, and he

The next dayI open my eyes and look around me. I am still disoriented. What time is it? Where is Lucas? Those are the first questions that come to mind when I see myself utterly alone in this bed. I look at the clock on the nightstand, and I can't believe it's already noon. Have I slept that long? I wonder as I carefully get out of bed. I find my pale pink silk bathrobe that matches my short nightgown, put it on, and leave the room.I look in each room to see if Lucas is in one of them, but I reach the end of the corridor without finding him. Maybe it's in the kitchen or in the garden, right?When I finish going downstairs, I see him sitting on the sofa with the television on: « The influential businessman Raúl Sandoval was arrested yesterday afternoon and accused of numerous crimes, including money laundering, trafficking in precious stones, drug trafficking, and white slavery. We haven't gotten any more details yet, but we'll be expanding soon.» Says one of the country's most cr

"Why don't they go out?" I ask again as I enter Lucas's office after peeking out into the hallway for the fifth time."Can you please calm down?" He asks, placing his hands on my shoulders and making me stare at him. "It will hurt the baby," he continues.I look at him doubtfully, but I know he's right; our baby can feel all my nerves, and that's not good..."I'm sorry," I finally say and wrap my arms around him, "I'm very nervous, I'm afraid something bad might happen, I can't handle all this anymore," I confess, and feeling him around me makes me feel at home."Thanks for everything." We hear my father in the distance, and I separate from Lucas to leave the office in a hurry.Alejandro and I pass each other in the hallway, and I don't understand a thing. Has he been crying? "Alexander, what's going on?" I ask, absolutely worried.His green eyes look at me on the verge of tears, and he caresses my arm slowly. "Your father will tell you everything. I can't do it right now, I'm sorry,"
