Chapter one
MADRID, SPAIN. The Lopez mansion
Adelina descended the stairs, her heels clicking on the marble floor. She joined her family in the dining room, where they were already eating breakfast. The Lopez' mansion was a grand, luxurious space with high ceilings and crystal chandeliers.
“Buenos dias” Adelina said, smiling at her family.
Elena scoffed and continued eating. Anna, her stepmother, and Jairo, her stepdad, smiled at her.
“Good morning, carino” Anna said. “Have your seat and eat before it gets cold”
Adelina nodded, took a seat and began eating her breakfast.
Elena stuffing her mouth with beef.
“Ah Elena, don't eat too much” Anna said, shaking her head. “So your wedding dress fits”
Elena smiled, flipping her hair backwards. “What's the point, anyway? Luis loves me, no matter what. Even if I get fat, he'll still love me” She licked the stain of the beef stew on her lips side.
Anna chuckled, and Jairo laughed, while Adelina just smiled, eating her food.
“Elle, you're certainly happy about your wedding," Jairo said. “I still can't believe my daughter has grown up so much. You're getting married into the Perez family”
They all laughed except Adelina, who only smiled.
“It feels like a dream” Elena said. “i mean, Luis and I have only been dating for a year. I never thought he'd propose”
Anna replied, “I'm sure Luis will take good care of you, Besides, you'll be living with his family after the wedding. The PEREZ are kind people, They raised their sons to be a gentlemen”
Elena smiled proudly. “That's true. He's a gentleman, He treats me so nicely. I just can't wait to be his wife”
Adelina raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Elena's enthusiasm.
“But rumors has it that, he's way past the word gentle” she mumbled beneath her breath.
“And then I'll have half of what's his” Elena continued, giggling. “I'll be Mrs. Perez”
Anna and Jairo laughed again, and Adelina smiled, trying to appear happy for her stepsister.
“I'm sure you'll make a beautiful bride” Anna said.
Elena beamed with pride. “Gracias mama”
As they continued eating, Adelina couldn't help but think about her boyfriend Alexandro, he hasn't been answering her calls nor texts, so she's going to go see him herself after breakfast.
The conversation continued, with Elena dominating the discussion with talk of her wedding plans and her future life with Luis.
While Adelina just listened, nodding and smiling, but her mind was elsewhere.
Elena continued to gush about her wedding plans. “And then, we'll have a beautiful honeymoon in Paris. Luis promised me we'll stay in the most luxurious hotel, and we'll spend our days exploring the city and our nights... well, you know”
Anna and Jairo laughed, and Adelina forced a smile, trying to appear interested.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and the sound of voices came from the foyer. “That must be the wedding planner” Anna said, getting up from her seat. “I'll go see what she needs”
As Anna left the room, Elena turned to Adelina. “You know, you should really start thinking about your own future, You're not getting any younger, and you need to find someone to marry, or are you not serious with Alex?” She smirked.
Adelina felt a surge of annoyance at Elena's comment, but she tried to keep her cool. “I and Alex are none of your business, elle. And I'm focusing on my studies right now”
Elena raised an eyebrow. “Studies? You mean your art classes? That's not a real career, You need to think about something more practical, not your useless paintings and sick drawings”
Adelina felt her anger rising, but before she could respond, Anna returned to the room, followed by the wedding planner. The conversation turned to the wedding details, and Adelina was grateful for the distraction.
She stood slowly, cleaned her lips with the tissue and walked out.
Elena's glare following her.
As Adelina left the dining table, she headed outside to the garage, where several luxury cars were parked. The garage was spacious, with high ceilings and polished marble floors.
Her eyes scanned the row of cars, including her own sleek black Audi R8.
Just as she was about to get into her car, Elena's voice stopped her. “Seems someone is not happy with my wedding” Elena said, her tone laced with mockery.
Adelina scoffed and turned to face her. “Why are you saying that sister” she replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “I'm happy for you, Really, I am. But I just don't get something right” Her brows furrowed.
Elena raised an eyebrow. “What are you talking about?” She huffed
Adelina shook her head. “You really portrayed Luis as this gentle, caring, and loyal man to Mom and Dad, but he's not. And honeymoon? Please. I bet after marrying you, he'll just dump you like he does with his sluts. Don't you hear or see? Even his personality and aura tell it all – he's a f**k boy”
Adelina's face turned red with anger, and she bit her lip, folding it inward. “But he's going to marry me now, We're engaged, Addie” Elena held up her hand, flaunting her diamond engagement ring. A sly grin spread across her face.
Adelina nodded, her expression unimpressed. “Yes, I'm surprised too” She scoffed and entered her car.
She started the engine and drove up to Elena's side, almost hitting her. Elena quickly moved “Have you gone insane!” She snapped at Adelina.
Adelina just grinned in return. “You better be careful, Elle, before you get hit by some jerkass who doesn't respect love”
With that parting shot, She drove out of the garage, heading towards the long, winding driveway that led to the mighty gate of the Lopez' estate. Two burly guards stood at attention, their eyes scanning the surroundings as She drove past them.
Elena gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with anger as she watched Adelina drive away.
THE PEREZ MANSION
Inside the Perez mansion, Luis's room was a testament to his refined taste.
The walls were adorned with expensive artwork, including a Picasso and a Van Gogh.
The room was dimly lit, with only a few rays of sunlight peeking through the curtains.
Luis's low groans and moans filled the air as thrust hard into the lady beneath him.
“f**k! Yeah, ohh my! I'm cumming I'm cumming I'm cumming” Her cries ramped out.
As Luis gave her the last, hard and deep thrust, her liquid pulling his still hard d**k out, she squirts.
As he finally pulled out of the lady lying beneath him. He lay on his back, exhaling deeply.
The lady, a stunning blonde with curves in all the right places, smiled seductively at him.
her breasts standing firm with her n*****s hard and still erect.
Luis muttered coldly, “You should dress up before anyone comes to my room”
The lady obeyed, quickly dressing back into her clothes.
As she finished, she smirked at Luis and picked up her phone. “I'll call you tonight” she said seductively.
He smirked back, his eyes glinting with naughtiness. “Just get out”
The lady walked out of the room, bumping into Javier, Luis's older brother. He's twenty-eight years old, with chiseled features and piercing blue eyes. His dark hair was perfectly styled, and his sharp jawline was accentuated by a hint of stubble.
The lady gulped and instantly rushed downstairs without looking back. She stormed out of the mansion, leaving Javier watching her with a raised eyebrow.
He entered Luis's room without knocking, finding his brother already dressed in black sweatpants.
Luis glared at him “Do you have allergies for the door?”
Javier chuckled and shook his head. “Dont tell me what just happened? You're still fooling around when your wedding is around the corner” he scoffed in disbelief.
Luis huffed, picking up his phone and dipping it into his pocket. “It's not like I want to, You know very well that this wedding thing was Father's idea, not mine, I don't love Elena” he said with a shrug.
Javier shook his head, his eyes disapproving. “What is she to you, then? At least you've dated her for almost a year now. Or are you just...?”
Luis cut in, nodding. “Yes, she's just my f**k buddy. She knows too that I don't do love”
Javier stared at Luis in disbelief, although it wasn't new to him. He knew his brother was a chronic playboy, but he hadn't thought he wasn't serious with Elena.
He taught they were actually dating, like literally.
Before he could respond, Luis walked out of the room, descending the stairs. He shook his head, following after him.
As they reached the bottom of the stairs, Javier asked, “Has Isabel come home since last night? Did she call you?”
Luis replied, “Nope, she's fine, She's twenty, old enough”
Javier sighed and walked towards his room, leaving Luis standing alone in the hallway. Suddenly, he asked, “When are Mom and Dad coming back from their business trip?”
Javier chuckled and replied, “I talked to Dad yesterday, They're coming back next week. Mom's sorting out some things in England” With that, he walked into his room, leaving Luis standing alone.
Luis scoffed and headed to the kitchen, where a few maids were busy cleaning.
He grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, uncapped it, and leaned against the cabinet.
His eyes lingered on one of the youngest maids, who was bending down to mop the tile. Luis's gaze stayed on her butt as he drank his water.
Just then, his phone rang inside his pocket. Luis exhaled frustratedly, pulling out his phone. It was his friend, Xoan, calling.
“Asshole, there's a new club opening, I'll text the address, Don't miss the fun!” Xoan exclaimed.
Luis chuckled, replying, “Why would I? I never miss out on such fun, Hey Make sure you find those bitches with big curves for me”
Xoan laughed. “Whoa, why do I feel like you just f****d and now you're asking for another b***h again?” he teased.
Luis smirked, his voice raw. “I never get tired of f*****g”
Xoan laughed again. “I forgot to ask, tell Isabel to come”
Luis's expression turned serious. “Hey fucker. Don't cross that line, My sister is off-limits” he warned.
Xoan pleaded, laughing. “Come on, man!”
“Motherfucker, go invite your sluts instead” Luis said sternly.
APARTMENT BUILDING
Adelina car halted inside the garage of the apartment building, where her boyfriend Alex lived. She stepped out, walking to the elevator. As she pressed the button, the doors opened, and she walked in.
Just as the doors were about to close, a lady in her ran towards the elevator, stopping it.
“I'm so sorry, so sorry” the lady apologized, slightly out of breath.
Adelina smiled. “It's okay”
The elevator finally stopped on Alex's floor, and Adelina got out, walking to his apartment door. She typed in the passcode, which she knew, and walked in. However, she found no one home.
She searched the whole apartment, calling out Alex's name. “Alex? Alex, are you here?”
After checking every room, Adelina exhaled deeply,
realizing Alex wasn't home. She pulled out her phone from her purse and dialed his number three times, but there was no answer.
Adelina sighed and walked out of the apartment, meeting the lady from the elevator again.
The lady was just walking out of the door opposite Alex's apartment.
The lady, greeted her. “Hola” she smiled.
Adelina greeted her back. “Hi”
“I'm Briar, I live next door”
Adelina eyes widened slightly. “Nice to meet you, Briar. I'm Adelina”
Briar nodded. “Oh, nice to meet you too, Adelina, although I thought you might be Alexandro's sister?”
Adelina laughed slightly. “No, I'm not”
Briar's eyes sparkled with curiosity. “I just moved here, and I haven't seen your face around here except for a lady who visited Alexandro recently, then you must be his girlfriend?”
Adelina eyebrows furrowed. “Who?”
Briar's eyes narrowed. “I think she had red hair”
Adelina thought for a moment. She forced a smile,
“oh, that must be uh, his sister, yes his sister”She muttered.
and they both walked towards the elevator.
As they walked, Adelina mind wandered to Elena, who had red hair. She wondered what she was doing visiting Alex.
How did she know where he lives?
She bit her lips curiously.
As she stepped into her car, she started the engine and began to drive off. She dialed her friend Valeria's number and waited for her to pick up.
Valeria's cheerful voice came through the phone. “Hola, chica!”
Adelina chuckled. “Hey, where are you?”
“I'm home” Valeria replied.
Adelina nodded, even though Valeria couldn't see her. “That's good. I'll meet you in thirty minutes”
“Okay, girl! I'll be waiting, What's up? You sound like something's bothering you” Valeria's voice was filled with excitement
Adelina sighed, not wanting to get into the details over the phone. “I'll tell you when I see you”
Valeria's tone turned serious. “Okay, be careful, and see you soon”
They hung up, and Adelina focused on the road, speeding off towards Valeria's house.
