Episode 20

CHRISTOPHER

Last night, I had a strong desire for my girl, but she said she wasn't ready, so I told her I would wait. However, in the morning, we got carried away and when we were already in our underwear, my mother walked in with Chris, ruining everything. I ended up finishing in the bathroom of the adjacent room under the cold water, using my hands to release myself. I haven't been with any woman since my wife left me, and of course, being left unsatisfied doesn't help at all. After having breakfast with Alana, I met Cristóbal and Ian in the office. Alana went out with her sister and friend while Chris played in the garden with an employee.

Tomorrow, in the early morning hours, Alana's uncle will arrive, and in the afternoon, that man who will provide us with information about Mrs. Lucrecia. I just hope that what they tell me will be very good; I am spending a fortune on this.

"Brother, do you know where the women went?" Cristóbal asked.

"Why do you care so much about Carmen that you can't be without seeing her?" I responded with another question.

"Don't be an idiot and tell me if you know where they went," he insisted.

"I don't know, but I'll text Leo if you're so interested in finding out," I said, reaching for my phone.

📨 "Where is my wife?" I sent the message, and Leo didn't take long to reply.

📨 "She's at the pharmacy, sir," Leo responded.

📨 "Do you know what she's buying?" I asked curiously; maybe she's not feeling well.

📨 "No, sir. She went in with her friends, and they've been inside for a while. Do you want me to investigate?" Leo asked.

📨 "No, I'll ask her when she comes back. Take care of her," I replied.

📨 "I'll protect her with my life, sir," Leo answered.

"They are at the pharmacy, and before you ask, I don't know what they are buying," I commented to my brother.

"Well, I was just curious," Cristóbal defended himself.

We left the office and stayed playing ball with Chris until the women arrived. Carmen and Lucía were laughing, and Alana was very red. I saw her walking up with a bag in her hands, and her friends came to the garden. I quickly apologized and went upstairs almost running, eager to find out what my beloved wife was hiding. When I entered the room, she was about to put a bag in a drawer, and when she saw me, she quickly slid it inside and closed it.

"What are you hiding from me, my girl?" I asked, approaching her trembling figure.

"Nothing," she whispered barely audibly.

"Can I see what's in the drawer?" I inquired.

"No," she responded quickly.

"Why?" I asked again as I took her by the waist.

"Just because," she said, trying to pull away.

"That's not an answer, and since you won't tell me what you're hiding, I'll find out myself," in a swift motion, I moved her away from the drawer and opened it. When I took the bag and saw its contents, I understood why she was blushing. "Why did you buy this?" I asked, looking at her with the desire to use the condoms that were in the bag with her.

"Well, because, you and I..." she spoke nervously, and I understood what was going on.

"I understand now. You don't want children; you're too young. And as you and I are getting closer, you will soon become my wife in every sense of the word. You want to prevent a pregnancy, right?" I spoke, looking into her eyes, and she nodded. "Don't worry, you didn't have to be nervous. You can always tell me everything, and when you and I make love, I will take good care of you. You still have a lot to experience before a pregnancy," I commented, leaving a kiss on her forehead and embracing her.

"Thank you for understanding," my girl spoke nervously.

"Always. Now, let's go join the others, and we can order whatever you want for dinner," I proposed.

"I want pizza," she replied happily.

"Then pizza it is," we left the room and joined the others, ordering pizzas and drinks. We had a great time.

Tomorrow, I will finally have the information I need about the Rodríguez family and how to destroy them. I will also learn more about Alana's biological mother and if it's true that she abandoned her for money. If only Mr. Vicente had given me more information about Alana before he died, everything would be easier. Perhaps the lawyer knows something; I will call him tomorrow to set up a meeting at the office.

After dinner, Carmen had to leave because she had to go to university in the morning and didn't have her things with her. My brother offered to give her a ride instead of the chauffeur. I know he likes her, but he hasn't said anything. Besides, when did my brother become so shy in front of a woman? Usually, he's the one who confidently conquers them. But with Carmen, it's the complete opposite. Could it be that my brother is actually falling in love? My mother would be so happy if that happened.

After putting Chris to bed, Alana and I fell asleep tightly wrapped in each other's arms. I'm going to plan something special to spend time with her next weekend. Maybe I'll arrange a small honeymoon trip for the two of us. I hope she agrees; otherwise, I'll have to convince her.
