The wind was blowing strong and relentless and that constant tapping on the glass woke me up. The voracity contained in the ferocious turns hitting the window of my room, did not allow me to sleep well; Tired of tossing and turning in bed, of curling up on the bedspread without falling asleep, I got up. I had to rub my eyes and shine my phone's flash to get my bearings a bit.The storm was doing its thing outside. I hugged myself, wrapping my arms around myself. Most likely, the light returned until the storm had subsided. I stumbled out, still sleepy. I went to Isaac's room, there I found him succumbed to rest. From the frame of his bedroom, I watched him with a half smile. He was an incredible child, he did not flinch at the noise of lightning, or thunder. However, the brave little boy who slept peacefully was also delicate and susceptible to cat and dog allergies. In addition to being afraid of the dark, but sleeping deeply, he was not terrified that everything was gloomy around hi

We were starting to ascend.“Darrelle Al-Murabarak” he blurted out without looking at me.I felt my heart skip a beat. I would have preferred not to ask, she was the one Ismail told me about once, different from him, disunited, or at least there was no close relationship between them.“I…”"You don't have to tell me anything" she hastened to say, putting a hand to her forehead. “I'm aware of the situation, but I didn't think I'd find you like this; I didn't imagine meeting you in an elevator by chance. Ismail never introduced you to dad and me. What are you doing here?”I was silent for a few seconds, while I processed the information; spinning an answer became difficult.“I work at Magnani, I've come to interview your brother, I explained with an abrasion in my voice”“I'm so sorry for what happened to you, it must not have been easy...” I've learned to live with it, don't worry. I interrupted awkwardly.I didn't want her pity, her regret, that she continues to babble about an appreh

Three suspension points.So, I closed the laptop and went to open the door for Kelly. She came with her boyfriend, so I was embarrassed to walk with those looks. Raising an eyebrow in the direction of my friend, I was reproaching her for warning before bringing her fiancé.Not for anything bad, but to get ready and not show up in my pajamas. From her I received a smile that translated to: I'm sorry, Marianne, I'll let you know next time.I wish it did."Come in, how are you, Sean?" Excuse me, my outfit, I whispered with a half-smile."You're still looking, Bella" he crooned in his quaint European accent, greeting me with a kiss on each cheek.I looked over her beefy shoulder at Kelly, she shrugged. The Italians were so cute, chivalrous, a perfect combination hard to find and in him, hard to elude. Sean was all of that, plus he brought me closer to my roots, which made me see him in a special way, a friend. She couldn't have done better than him. They coupled up, I was an eyewitness to

I woke up in an unknown room, in someone else's bed, between sheets impregnated with a masculine perfume, which invaded my nasal tunnel, I recognized it, but I did not want to believe that I was in the grip of a reality far from a dream that I stupidly clung to.That perfume… No! It couldn't be him.I felt the need to pinch my flesh, nothing happened, I didn't wake up, I definitely wasn't having a nightmare.A range of fearful possibilities presented itself abruptly. I couldn't remember anything from last night, which made my stomach twist with fear, because I didn't know where I was, or who had brought me to this sumptuous bedroom. A lot of paranoid thoughts cloud my mind, I kicked them out of my head when I discovered under the silk that covered my face, that I was still wearing my dress.At least the unknown subject hadn't raped me. That did not take away weight from the situation, less with the monstrous headache; I moaned in pain, the violence of the palpitations carried an aggre

"Are you kidding me?" she screeched in disbelief.“I'm being honest, it was Ismail. Don't look at me like that” I added because of his look fluttering with mischief. That nothing happened between us. His excuse, his silly and ridiculous excuse was that a man was looking at me with double intentions, and he decided to take me away from danger...“Clear!” she exclaimed sarcastically He denied with an amused smile before replying. Men, that's how they all are, liars. The only one who was looking at you with desire was him, he is the only danger for you and ironically, he took you to the red zone.I frowned."To your bed..." he stressed exaggeratedly articulated, I rolled my eyes.“I already told you that nothing happened there at all” He didn't convince me this time, I didn't fall into his trap, I'm not stupid anymore,” I growled in exasperation.“Silly? Of course, you're still a fool, otherwise you won't leave poor Aaron… You know, wanting” said mischievously, but with a certain reproac
