Episode 2

It was nighttime and everything was ready to start receiving the guests. Susan had taken care of every detail. The waiters began working as the guests arrived, and the band played classical music.

Steve arrived accompanied by his wife, Margaret.

"David, congratulations dear. Where is Susan? asked Margaret as Steve shook hands with his partner."

"Getting ready, you know, she's been taking care of everything until the last moment."

"As always! That's why she's a great hostess."

"But please, make yourselves comfortable. I'll join you soon," said David Cooper, still receiving the guests. He looked at his watch when he heard voices behind him. He turned around and saw Susan. She looked stunning that night, wearing a long champagne-colored dress cinched at the waist, with lace sleeves. She smiled at him as she walked towards him. Despite her age, Susan still had a good figure.

"Sorry, I'm delayed a little bit," she said, trying to smooth the situation.

"You look beautiful," he said to her.

"Thank you, you look very elegant," she replied, and they continued receiving the guests.

Susan received and settled her in-laws, accompanied by their nurse. David Cooper's parents were around 80 years old, married for over fifty years. They adored Susan; she always took care of them.

David dedicated a few words to his guests and his wife.

The party was in its best moment, waiters distributing the food, background music, everyone enjoying the party. David Cooper took his wife's hand and led her to the center of the dance floor.

They danced to their favorite song, Unchained Melody.

"Look at them, don't you think they're lovely?" said Amelie, watching her parents dance.

"Yes," indeed, replied Ava.

When the song ended, they posed for a photo. Susan signaled her daughters; she wanted a photo of the four of them together.

They all posed for the photo, like the happy family they were.

...****************...

Chloe Morrison walked through her new apartment, a luxurious penthouse in Seattle. At 20 years old, she had left behind a life of deprivation. Soon, she would become Mrs. Cooper.

He had promised her this after leaving her and transferring her to another branch. It made her realize that he truly cared for her. Although she had initially been interested in him for convenience, he managed to make her fall in love. And how could she not, when despite being over 50 years old, David Cooper was a very handsome man, confident and capable of arousing her deepest passions.

She knew that he would be there with her in the next few hours. He had promised her that when they returned, and the condition was that she would only return to him if he left his wife.

And as proof that he would keep his word, he had bought this luxurious apartment for them.

She knew that the next few days would be difficult, and that David might start to doubt keeping his promise, especially considering he still had a high opinion of Susan. With this in mind, she went shopping that afternoon. She bought the sexiest lingerie she could find, looked at herself in the mirror, let her long brown hair loose, posed in front of the mirror, and took some pictures with her phone. Then, she sent them to David.
