Chapter 4

Escucho el vidrio romperse en alguna parte de la sala, y cuando alzo la vista me encuentro con Diego corriendo fuera del club.

Miro de nuevo a mi novio, y con lágrimas en los ojos niego lentamente, causando que todos se queden mudos, y este se muestre completamente decepcionado.

—¿Por qué? —cuestiona Danilo, las lágrimas en sus ojos se asoman, y me parte el corazón—. ¿Acaso no me amas?

—¡Claro que te amo, Danilo! Pero... Dios, lo siento tanto...

Incapaz de seguir aquí frente a mi novio decepcionado y todo el mundo observándome como una rata de alcantarilla, salgo corriendo por el mismo sitio que Diego.

Jadeo cuando me encuentro con su pecho de frente y me estremezco. El castaño me toma por los hombros y tengo que mirarlo a esos ojos que por tanto tiempo me encantaron y cegaron, y este sacude la cabeza con severidad.

—¿Qué estás haciendo, Fabiola? —me pregunta con molestia.

—¡Nada que te incumba! —respondo, soltándome de sus gruesos y fuertes brazos, para seguir mi camino.

—¡Sí me incumbe porque Danilo es como mi hermano! —exclama, siguiéndome.

—Ay, Diego, piérdete de mi camino —mascullo con rabia hacia él, pero este de nuevo me detiene el camino y es imposible que no tengamos un duelo de miradas.

Mi pecho sube y baja por todo lo que he estado sintiendo, y entonces alzo mi mano para darle una bofetada con todo el gusto.

Veo a Diego jadear en sorpresa, y rápido su rostro confundido se hace presente.

—¿Qué demonios te ocurre, Fabiola? —Me sigue cuando me alejo.

Aprieto la cartera en mi bolso y escucho las llamadas en mi teléfono pero sé que es Danilo o Giselle y no quiero responder.

—¡Estás fingiendo que no me conoces, Diego! ¿Acaso eres imbécil o no tienes sentimiento alguno? —le grito, sigo caminando, ya estamos muy lejos del club.

—¿Y qué querías que hiciera? —me responde.

Entonces me detengo, con un nudo enorme en mi garganta.

—Decir: ¡Hola Fabiola! El mundo es pequeño, ¡me alegra tanto que seas la mujer de mi  hermano ahora! Porque yo hui como un verdadero idiota y te rompí el corazón... —espeto.

El pecho del castaño también sube y baja, su rostro frío y severo cambia de nuevo después de arrugar el entrecejo. Dios, es que no ha cambiado nada.

—Pues por eso, Fabiola ¡Allí tienes mi respuesta! No podía decir quien eras por la simple razón de que eres la mujer de mi hermano!. ¿Acaso no lo ves? Esto nos perseguiría por años, Danilo no podría estar tranquilo nunca, ¡lo conozco!

—¡Mataste mi corazón! —exclamo, casi al borde del llanto—. No merecía ser tratada de esa forma antes y mucho menos hoy después de más de diez años sin verte, Diego. Eres un bastardo.

Sigo mi curso, y esta vez, sé que no viene detrás de mí. Agradezco que así sea. No quiero que me dé explicaciones del porqué simplemente después de haber hecho el amor por primera vez para ambos ¡para ambos! Este solo me dejó una pequeña nota en la mesa de noche mi habitación.

"No sé cuándo regresaré. Por favor, continúa con tu vida.

Att: Diego."

Él solo se aseguró de comerme bien, quitarme la virginidad, y luego irse, sin más. Sin darme una explicación real. Una excusa que no me doliera tanto.

Trago hondo el dolor que siento va a hacerme perder la cabeza. Es increíble. Mi vida estaba bien, sin él. Lo había superado hace tanto y luego viene justo ahora que... ¡Oh Danilo! Mi pobre rubio, debe estar destrozado. Y yo aquí en medio de la calle sin saber a dónde ir.

No sé cuanto tiempo pasa entre recordar lo que era mi vida, hasta llegar a este momento, entonces tomo el teléfono como todas aquellas veces en que he sentido que mi mundo se viene abajo, hago una llamada y en cuestión de segundos tengo a una camioneta negra frente a mí.

—¿Qué ocurre, hija? —inquiere mi padre cuando me adentro, pero yo solo puedo llorar sin consuelo porque Danilo no merece lo que le he hecho, y dudo que nuestra relación vuelva a ser la misma ahora que le he hecho saber que no tengo el mismo plan que él.

Mi padre estaciona el auto frente a nuestra casa, y siento el corazón removerse entre mi pecho cuando veo el Mercedes de Danilo estacionado también.

—Dame un momento papá... —le digo.

Ambos bajamos del auto, Danilo saluda a mi padre pero este lo saluda casi que automáticamente, seguro porque cree que me ha hecho algo malo.

Meto las manos en los bolsillos de mis pantalones, incapaz de verlo a la cara.

—Lo siento, Dani... —quiero decir, pero mi novio me toma de la cintura y me besa con ternura, causando que salga otra lágrimas de ambos.

—Perdóname, amor. Si no quieres casarte está bien. No tenías que correr como una ladrona, Fabiola... —me consuela—. Te amo, lo sabes. Puedo esperar hasta que estés lista, aunque seguramente en las redes te harán pedazos...

Rio un poco por eso. Había olvidado que todo ocurrió en la boda de una influencer y que todos estaban grabando.

—No seas tan bueno conmigo —le pido—. Yo soy la que debe... disculparse contigo. No quiero casarme porque... —Pego mi frente de su hombro y este me acaricia la espalda con cariño, me da confianza—. Desde que mamá murió de esa forma tan cruel yo... Vi lo que es perder al amor de tu vida de la noche a la mañana. Sé que es estúpido de mi parte pero... No quiero algún día quedarme como mi padre. Tuvieron la mejor de las bodas, me tuvieron a mí, fueron felices y... la vida se la arrebató como si no valiera nada. No quiero atarme a ti de esa forma, Danilo, porque significaría tener que hacerme la idea de que vamos a estar juntos para siempre y tal vez eso no sea así...

Soy totalmente sincera con mis palabras. Esa es parte de mi gran verdad. Aunque justo ahora haya una razón cercana a él que me debilite de alguna forma.

—Ay, mi amor... descuida, te comprendo. Y... De todas formas, aquí lo único que importa es que nos amemos de verdad, ¿no? Y yo te amo de verdad, cariño, sin dudar. Y no tengo intenciones de jamás irme de tu lado.

Después de hablar, mi buen novio me toma la mano y nos adentramos a mi casa, a mi habitación. Pronto nos besamos en medio de la nostalgia, y él quita mi ropa lentamente. Yo jamás podría negarme a su dulce tacto. Así que cedo ante su deseo de tenerme y le correspondo. Jadeo cuando estamos unidos y suspiro, pues al cerrar los ojos la mirada de Diego Monsalve siendo mi primera vez aparece, acelerando mi corazón.

—Acepto casarme contigo, Danilo —digo en su oído, saliendo de mis recuerdos.

Mi novio me besa con un poco más de fervor, y mi cuerpo internamente llora, porque él tiene razón. Él me ama de verdad, no como su hermano una vez me hizo creer. Y si hay algo que siempre esperé de mi futuro esposo antes de la muerte de mi madre, era una entrega y compresión total, tal cual como la que me da Danilo.

Así que ahora sé que tendré que luchar día a día con mis heridas del pasado para ser feliz con Danilo, y dejar definitivamente a un lado a su hermano.

Rejecting His Love Plea Novel Cover
9.4
I balanced the coffee tray carefully as I made my way to Maximilian's home office. Three years of marriage had taught me the precise way he liked his coffee—black with one sugar—and the exact moment he preferred it delivered: precisely at 10:30 AM, after he'd reviewed the morning's financial reports. The house was quiet, sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the manicured gardens. I'd learned to move silently through these halls, to make myself as unobtrusive as possible. It was easier that way. "Your coffee, Maximilian," I said softly, placing the tray on the edge of his mahogany desk. He barely glanced up, his attention fixed on his laptop screen. "Thank you." I turned to leave—that's when it happened. His phone buzzed, and Maximilian reached for it without looking away from the screen. The movement caused his elbow to bump against the trackpad.

Spring's Hiding in the Foggy Courtyard Novel Cover
8.4
In Kingsport, Savannah and Zachary were the envy of everyone—the picture-perfect couple. He was a ruthless business prodigy; she, a brilliant news anchor. They had been together since their school days, all the way to the altar. Zachary cherished her completely, holding her in the palm of his hand, placing her at the very center of his heart. Then that beautiful life came to a sudden, screeching halt with the arrival of the spiritual advisor, Angela. Angela claimed she and Zachary were bound by a predestined love from a past life. She also declared that Savannah’s fate was fundamentally at odds with the fortunes of Zachary’s family. “If you wish for peace and prosperity,” she warned, “Zachary must sever all ties with her. He must never see her again.” “Superstitious nonsense!” Zachary scoffed. Had Savannah not stopped him, he would have thrown the woman out on the spot. But no one could have predicted what happened next. Two days later, Jonathan—Zachary’s grandfather, the family patriarch in robust health—was suddenly struck by a severe, mysterious illness. The family scrambled for doctors and remedies, yet his condition only worsened. To make matters worse, their corporation was hit by a massive crisis, its stock price plummeting wildly. With all other options exhausted, a desperate Zachary went to seek Angela’s so-called “solution to reverse their fortune.” “You wish to challenge fate itself, Zachary?” Angela’s fingers flew through a series of calculations before she let out a soft, ominous sigh. “Even for me, there are no guarantees. But for you… I’m willing to try.” No one could have imagined the “solution” she proposed. She demanded that Savannah kneel in the freezing autumn downpour, facing southwest, and bow deeply eighty-one times, her forehead touching the wet pavement. “Savannah, please… just get through this for me, for Grandpa,” Zachary pleaded, holding her close. Unable to refuse him, she went out alone into the torrential rain. She prostrated herself eighty-one times until her forehead was split and bloody. The next day, she collapsed with a raging fever. Miraculously, Jonathan’s condition improved, and the corporate crisis was resolved. From that day on, Zachary and his entire family began treating Angela like an honored guest, hanging on her every word. Meanwhile, Savannah lay alone in a hospital bed, feverish and aching in every muscle. Her “compensation” was a limited-edition handbag. She was sick for a full week. Zachary didn’t visit her once—all because Angela had advised against it. “Angela says we just need to hold out for forty-nine days,” he told her. But Savannah’s suffering would extend far beyond those forty-nine days. She had barely been home from the hospital for two days when Jonathan’s health took another sharp turn for the worse. “Miss Savannah’s fate is simply too strong, too harsh,” Angela lamented, her tone dripping with false pity. Yet every task she set for Savannah was more cruel than the last. She made Savannah hold a heavy candelabra day and night, praying and repenting for Jonathan’s sake. The constantly dripping wax burned Savannah’s hands, covering them in blisters—a searing, heart-stopping pain. Zachary’s compensation this time? A priceless antique jade necklace worth millions. Next, Angela ordered Savannah to crawl on her knees up a punishing 1,999 stone steps to a mountain chapel to pray for a protective blessing. Savannah fell repeatedly, leaving her battered and bruised. She spent a full month in a wheelchair. Zachary’s reparation? A diamond tiara valued at over a hundred million. Then, Angela demanded Savannah write daily prayers in her own blood. One day, two days… ten, twenty… Under the guise of challenging fate to rewrite destiny, Angela’s torment grew more intense and relentless. Savannah was in utter agony, but Zachary’s only response was to tell her to “bear with it a little longer.” Even when she finally contacted an internationally renowned specialist for rare diseases and begged Zachary to take Jonathan for an examination, he flatly refused. “Angela says Grandpa cannot be moved right now. We’ll discuss check-ups later.” His words sent a chill straight through Savannah’s heart. This wasn’t the Zachary she knew. He had always been on her side. Before their marriage, his mother, Jessica, had disliked Savannah for being orphaned and coming from a family whose fortunes had faded. She’d hired a so-called “master” who claimed Savannah’s fate was too harsh—that she had “cursed” her own parents to death, and that anyone close to her would suffer. Jessica tried to force Zachary into a marriage alliance with a wealthy heiress of her choosing. Back then, Zachary had responded by taking a hammer and, right in front of his mother, shattering the master’s ten fingers. “Since you’re so skilled at divination,” Zachary had sneered, tossing the bloodied hammer aside, “did you foresee this particular calamity befalling you today?” But now, Angela
