Episode 8

Upon entering her new room, Elisa is even more impressed. Everything was very detailed and matching, from the colors of the wallpaper and furniture to the bed linens and curtains, probably designed by an interior decorator. The view was also beautiful, with a lovely view of the mansion's gardens, she loved it. The bed was not far behind either, it was a king-size with lots of pillows and cushions, all very clean, organized and fragrant.

Soledad - I hope it is to your liking, ma'am, if you want to change anything just let me know, I will be at your disposal for anything.

Elisa - It's great this way, thank you!

Soledad - You can call me Sol, if you want!

Elisa - All right, but only if you promise you won't call me ma'am, there's no need to be so formal!

Sol - You seem like a very sweet girl, I hope you like it here, this house was really needing a female presence...

Elisa is a little embarrassed, fear was visible in her eyes, as she was only there because of a contract, and her intention was to file for divorce as soon as possible.

Soledad - Well... I'll let you rest, today the weather is great for staying in bed, I'll ask them to bring your things!

Alone, Elisa starts a tour of the room, goes to the closet and is startled by the amount of things there, it looked more like a shop window, it was completely full, from clothes, shoes, bags and all kinds of makeup and accessories, she was speechless, because they were all her size and style, even the shoes were her size, in the bathroom she is even more shocked, it was huge and even had a jacuzzi. Curious, she opens all the cabinets and drawers and finds that they are already stocked with a variety of body and hair products.

Elisa was not expecting any of this, quite the contrary, she believed that because of her father's debt, she would be treated with inferiority, but she believed that her husband might ask for something in return for so many things. Elisa always had a good life, she never lacked for anything, but she was very impressed with so much luxury and wealth.

Elisa - How many people did you have to extort to get so much money, huh Christian Fox?

She was sure it was dirty money, because not even in her dreams had she imagined such a thing, she remembered what Raquel had said a few days ago, would her husband be a murderous mobster? Soon a terrible fear took hold of her.

(…)

Soledad goes to Christian's office, knocks on the door and opens it.

"Excuse me, son, may I come in?"

Christian - Sure, come in!

Soledad - Elisa is already installed in the room!

Christian - Great, thank you Sol, and I apologize for my rudeness earlier, it was not my intention to upset you!

Soledad - You don't need to apologize my boy, you are an adult and you know what you are doing, I just wanted to know what time you will introduce yourself? She is quite scared, she seems afraid! Why don't you go there and greet her?

Christian even wanted to go there and throw her on the bed, fulfill all the fantasies he has been dreaming of for some time now.

"Better not, leave her, she must be tired, I don't want to bother her, as you just said, she must be afraid of me!

Soledad - Well, sooner or later you're going to end up bumping into each other around the house, whether you like it or not you're husband and wife now!

Christian - I'm not going to force anything, Sol, if she's already afraid of me before she meets me, imagine when she looks at me?

Sol shakes her head and leaves the office, leaving him alone. Christian picks up a photo in his desk drawer and looks at it. It was his wife with their newborn daughter in her arms, the photo was sent when he was still in the army. Christian can't control his tears, years have passed, but it was still an open wound, he loved Leticia like crazy, he believed he would never love another woman after her, until he met Elisa. It was instant and overwhelming.

Obviously as a man he needed to relieve his masculinity, it was inevitable, especially being an extremely ruthless man in bed, he climbed the walls, and since he met Elisa, his sexual desire has only increased.

In fact, it had been a few days since his last sex, he needed to relieve himself frequently, but lately he hadn't been able to get any satisfaction from any woman, not even the hottest women in his club were able to put out his fire.

Christian - Did I do the right thing?

He gets up and fills his glass with whiskey, drinks it in one gulp.

…

Elisa spends some time admiring the view from the room, then lies down on the bed and ends up falling asleep. At lunchtime, Soledad goes to call her, but feels sorry to wake her up, because she was sleeping so peacefully, she seemed exhausted.

Christian also didn't feel like having lunch, he made a call to a jeweler friend and asked him to reserve the best wedding rings in the store, then he had the driver prepare the car and they went to the city.

He arrives and is greeted by his friend and owner of the jewelry store, Marcelo. Chris is taken to a private room just for VIPs, has champagne and some employees bring the best jewelry in the store.

Marcelo - These are from the new collection, they are exclusive!

Christian begins to look at each one in detail, there were various models and sizes, some more chic, others simpler, but one caught his attention.

Christian - I liked this one!

It was a pair of wedding rings that came with a beautiful solitaire with diamond chips, it was delicate just like Elisa.

Marcelo - Great choice, I'm sure your beloved will love it!

Christian - I'll take it, and what else do you have there?

Marcelo - We have bracelets, necklaces, earrings. I think you'll like these...

The girls bring some jewelry, and right away, Christian is already pleased with a pair of earrings with an emerald necklace.

Christian - Wrap it up, I'll take it!

Marcelo - Great choices!

After paying and leaving the jewelry store, Christian stops by the club, as it was Saturday, there would be a lot of movement and also a lot of money coming in.

He arrives and goes straight to his office, Tania his assistant follows him and tries to kiss him, but Christian pushes her away.

Christian - Are you crazy, Tania?

Tania - What was that Chris?

Christian - I don't like your audacity, I told you that when I want you, I'll come looking for you!

Tania - I know, but it's been a while since you've come looking for me, I miss you!

Christian shrugs and sits down in his chair, turns on his laptop and starts checking some things.

Tania - Are you staying tonight? This club is not the same without you!

Christian - No!

Tania doesn't insist anymore and leaves him alone, since she started working for him, the two have been having an affair, she is in love with him, but he always made it clear that it was just sex and nothing more, he only looked for her to relieve himself.
