Chapter 1
Hace un calor sofocante, haciendo que Regina Valrose sienta que podría evaporarse. Una cinta roja le cubría los ojos, y cuando intentó quitársela, una mano la detuvo. El miedo y la tensión la invadieron mientras preguntaba:
—¿Quién eres?
La persona que se cernía sobre ella permaneció en silencio. Pero su agarre en la muñeca de Regina se hizo más fuerte, sus nudillos se volvieron blancos, y las venas se hincharon en el dorso de su mano, delatando su furia contenida y el deseo de poseerla. Los intentos de Regina de gritar se redujeron a débiles gemidos. La cercanía la hizo consciente del calor abrasador que emanaba de él.
—¿Philip?
Su voz vacilante hizo que los ojos de él se volvieran profundos y oscuros, llenando la habitación de una tensión peligrosa. De repente, comenzó a besarla. Los besos se volvieron más intensos, más desesperados. Ella se sintió arrastrada por una marea de deseo que parecía no tener fin.
El invierno en Oriant estuvo marcado por un diluvio incesante que duró una semana entera. Regina se apresuró a entrar en el Peace Club, buscando refugio de la lluvia implacable. La celebración del cumpleaños de Philip Sterling estaba en pleno apogeo, y quizás algunos invitados aún no habían llegado, ya que la puerta de la sala privada estaba entreabierta, ofreciendo un vistazo de la alegre reunión en su interior.
Cuando Regina extendió la mano hacia la puerta, vio a Philip recostado en el sofá, cigarrillo en mano, conversando casualmente con sus amigos. Coincidentemente, su conversación giró hacia ella.
—Señor Sterling, ¿qué pasa con su novia? Llega tarde en un día tan importante.
En su círculo, el término "novia" rara vez se usaba. Las mujeres iban y venían en sus vidas, y no era raro que tuvieran múltiples compañeras a la vez. Todos eran conscientes de esto, pero parecían pensar que Regina era diferente para Philip. Después de todo, tenía un parecido sorprendente con Claudia Sharp y había estado al lado de Philip durante tantos años.
Impulsado por un rumor reciente, alguien no pudo resistirse a preguntar:
—Señor Sterling, ¿es cierto que está a punto de casarse con Regina?
La pregunta agitó algo en el corazón de Regina. Había conocido a Philip durante su segundo año en la universidad, y habían pasado seis años desde entonces. Esperaba su respuesta con un destello de esperanza.
Philip soltó casualmente una bocanada de humo y se burló:
—Estoy cansado de ella. No estoy tan loco como para casarme con alguien de quien ya estoy harto para toda la vida. No tengo idea de lo que mi familia está planeando. Me voy a casar, pero ella no puede ser mi esposa.
La mayoría de estos matrimonios eran alianzas, y la mujer que se convertiría en la esposa de Philip tendría que venir de un entorno que igualara al de su familia. Regina se quedó rígida en la entrada, sus palabras resonando como un trueno en sus oídos. Regina cerró los ojos, reprimiendo el dolor, y empujó la puerta. Ignorando las diversas miradas, caminó directamente hacia Philip.
En ese momento de contacto visual, su expresión permaneció indiferente y desdeñosa. No le importaba si Regina había escuchado sus palabras. Regina, por otro lado, parecía no verse afectada. No había olvidado su propósito de estar aquí hoy. Ni siquiera tuvo tiempo de enojarse; en cambio, le preguntó impacientemente:
—Me prometiste que visitarías a Tasha hoy. Te esperé en el hospital todo el día, pero nunca apareciste.
—Regina —los ojos de Philip se llenaron de desdén—. Has estado a mi lado durante tantos años, pero no has hecho ningún progreso. Hoy es mi cumpleaños, y quieres que vea a una persona moribunda en un momento tan feliz. Qué grosera eres.
Ella sintió que todo su cuerpo se enfriaba, mirándolo inmóvil. Lo escuchó decir que estaba cansado de ella y que nunca había pensado en casarse con ella. Despreciaba a su abuela, la persona que más la amaba, y se refería a ella como alguien que estaba muriendo. No sabía cuándo el hombre que la había salvado se convirtió lentamente en un completo desconocido para ella.
—La condición de Tasha está empeorando, y ha estado queriendo verte.
Las palabras de Regina fueron interrumpidas por la impaciencia de Philip.
—Regina, ¿ya terminaste? No seas aguafiestas.
Regina quería hacer un último esfuerzo. Extendió la mano hacia su vaso.
—Has estado bebiendo demasiado; no es bueno para tu salud, tú...
¡Philip de repente levantó la mano, y el vaso se hizo añicos en el suelo! El fuerte ruido silenció instantáneamente la sala privada. Philip estaba furioso, y todos contuvieron la respiración, muy asustados. La mente de Regina se quedó en blanco, su mano colgando a su lado se cerró en un puño, pero su expresión permaneció tranquila.
—¿Hay algún malentendido entre nosotros últimamente?
Philip solo sentía que ella era particularmente difícil de tratar esa noche, y se sintió un poco incómodo. Las palabras que había mantenido ocultas durante mucho tiempo finalmente salieron.
—Te pareces mucho a ella, pero después de todos estos años, me di cuenta de que todavía no te amo. Durante tantos años, te habrás preguntado por qué nunca te toqué. No es porque no pueda soportar tocarte, simplemente no quiero.
Con lágrimas en los ojos, Regina lo miró en silencio. No fue hasta ese día que Regina supo que Philip tenía un primer amor a quien amaba mucho, y ella solo era un sustituto ridículo. Lo que es aún más ridículo es que todos lo sabían desde hace mucho tiempo, y ella fue la última en enterarse. Pero, ¿por qué dijo que ni siquiera quería tocarla? ¿No fue Philip quien tuvo sexo con ella esa noche?
Humillada en público, Regina no quería sacar a relucir esos eventos pasados frente a tanta gente. Reprimió la amargura en su corazón y simplemente se dio la vuelta.
—Está bien, no te molestaré más, nunca más.
Él la vio irse. Había susurros y chismes sobre ella.
—Señor Sterling, ¿cómo puede ser tan desalmado? Ella parece realmente molesta. ¿No va a consolarla?
—¿Por qué? —Philip había bebido demasiado esa noche, de verdad. Su cuerpo estaba agotado, y sus emociones ya estaban fuera de control. Sacudió la cabeza pesadamente y dijo con indiferencia—: Ella volverá de todas formas.
Philip era realmente excelente, con poder y buen aspecto. A lo largo de los años, muchas mujeres se habían enredado con él, y Regina era solo una de ellas. «Ella volverá». Philip cerró los ojos, sintiéndose irritado e inquieto en su mente.

Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before.

"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.
