Episode 20

Augusto didn't give much importance to that comment from those women, after all, if Pietro entertained himself with women, it would be even better for him, so he didn't interrupt that conversation, but instead moved away and went in another direction.

While walking through the house, he received a call from Mark, at that moment he remembered that he hadn't called his friend to let him know what had happened, so he answered, already joking with him, so he could see that he was fine.

"Hey Mark, I'm still alive."

"I've asked you not to joke about these things, what happened? You left my house because he went to get Alice, what did he decide?"

"Right now I'm at his house, my friend. He agreed to what I proposed, I think that bastard is having fun with all this, he's going to stick to the plan, he said we're getting engaged today, I don't know what I'm going to do."

Mark ran his hand over his face when he heard that, leaned against the desk in that office, and took a deep breath before replying to his friend and the one he was in love with.

"I told you he might end up accepting your proposal, do you realize how messed up things are now? You shouldn't have made that proposal."

Mark felt guilty as soon as he scolded Augusto, after all, he himself collaborated for that plan to succeed, even though it was against his will, he still helped and couldn't help but feel guilty.

"You know I didn't have a choice, I couldn't let Alice come to this house. I knew this possibility, but I didn't think that sadist would accept, I thought he might even kill me for attempting that proposal, but everything exceeded my expectations."

"I should have stopped you, even if it cost my life," he said with a tone of regret.

"What do you mean by that, Mark?" Augusto found his friend's way of speaking strange.

"Nothing special, just that as your friend, I should have tried to make you think twice."

Mark couldn't tell the truth and knew he could give himself away if he said more, so he thought it would be better to disguise it.

"I'll try to think of something, but for now, unfortunately, you'll have to try to endure it. Gain his trust, so we can think of something to get you out of his clutches, but if he tries something, try to get him drunk, that way you can buy some time."

That idea from Mark might work, if he tried something, he could use alcohol, so he could delay that situation a bit, but he knew he couldn't do that forever, sooner or later he would have to face the consequences of his decision.

Pietro and Diego were returning from one of the front companies they maintained, while in the car, he received a call from Miguel.

"Hello, what do you want, Miguel?"

"Did I do something to upset you? You haven't come to see me anymore, I miss you."

"I don't have time to come see you, Miguel. I have a lot of things to take care of."

"I heard that you're getting engaged today. Is that true? I just wanted to make sure."

"So that's why you called? To find out if I'm getting married. Well, Miguel, I don't know who's been giving you this information, but yes, I will be getting engaged today. So I won't be visiting you anymore. As for your expenses and your silence, I'll still take care of them, but I hope you behave."

"I don't care if you're engaged and getting married. Your wife must already assume that you'll have some lovers, she just doesn't need to know that you have a male lover. You could make some time for me."

"I don't think you understand, Miguel. I said I no longer need to be distracted by your services. What I'll have at home will be more than enough to satisfy me, so don't expect me to come see you."

Pietro hung up the phone and Miguel felt hurt on the other end. Despite Pietro's promise to continue supporting him, he still wanted to continue seeing that man.

"I will find out what this woman has that has captured you like this, Pietro. She won't compete with me, I know everything you like." he said, looking at the phone.

In the car, Diego, who was sitting next to his brother, overheard everything. As always, he didn't miss an opportunity to provoke his brother.

"I don't think he wants to lose his lover. Do you think he might try to do something against Augusto to get his man back?"

"He's not crazy enough to try anything. If I'm not even willing to let our father interfere, let alone Miguel, if he values his life, he'll stay quiet."

Pietro clenched his jaw and thought about what his brother said. He would have to keep an eye on Miguel, because if he thought he could disrupt his life with Augusto, he was gravely mistaken. Pietro knew that when Miguel found out that he would be marrying a man, he might go crazy.
