Chapter 1
Erika P.O.V
—Señora, es hora —me informa mi secretaria y miro el reloj de pared en mi oficina, ¡vaya! Ya son casi las 9 pm. El tiempo pasa más rápido cuando amas lo que haces. Es un gran pasatiempo mío olvidar dónde estoy cuando estoy inmersa en mi trabajo. Nunca he sido tan afortunada de trabajar en un lugar donde puedo utilizar mi tiempo completamente sin ninguna interferencia. Amo mi trabajo y, sobre todo, amo cómo hace que el tiempo pase más rápido para no tener que pensar en la casa vacía o en mi existencia vacía.
Le sonrío a Sarah.
—Puedes irte, cerraré cuando termine —le sonrío y ella me da una mirada preocupada, conozco esa mirada. Me ha estado dando esa mirada durante casi cuatro años. Ella piensa que me mataré trabajando demasiado, o al menos piensa que soy una adicta al trabajo, lo cual puede ser cierto a veces. Trabajo mucho más que las personas a mi alrededor, tiendo a perderme cuando me siento en esta silla y trabajo en mi computadora.
Sarah está en sus últimos cuarenta, con cabello rubio, ojos azules y una sonrisa amigable siempre en su rostro, tal vez no ahora, pero siempre está ahí. La conocí hace un par de años y ahora es la persona que me conoce más que yo misma. Es como una hermana que a veces desearía tener, una hermana cariñosa.
Le sonrío de nuevo.
—Me iré en 10 minutos, lo prometo —ella me devuelve la sonrisa, aunque sigue preocupada, pero se va de todas formas. Suspiro y vuelvo a mi trabajo. Es difícil, trabajar para una empresa de TI y también como gerente general, pero he trabajado duro para este puesto y vale la pena. Nunca dudé de mí misma cuando se trata de mis elecciones de carrera. Es lo único que me mantiene cuerda.
Empaco en 10 minutos como prometí y cierro mi oficina. Camino por el pasillo hacia el ascensor y presiono 0 en el estacionamiento. Camino hacia mi Aston Martin negro y conduzco hasta mi casa o NUESTRA casa. Suspiro y estaciono en nuestra entrada, pero la encuentro vacía. No es una sorpresa que esté sola en casa una vez más y sé que ha sido así durante cuatro años, pero aún duele. No dolía al principio, pero ahora sí. La gente siempre me decía que casarse con la persona equivocada terminaría en un desastre, pero nunca me dijeron qué o cómo manejar un matrimonio donde no hay amor. Desearía que alguien me hubiera dicho cómo debería reaccionar en estas circunstancias. Un matrimonio sin amor y una vida sin sentido son dos cosas muy sin sentido en este mundo.
Agarrando mi bolso del coche, salgo. Presiono mi dedo índice en el escáner y abro la puerta. Ser una persona de TI tiene sus ventajas, he instalado toda la tecnología de alta gama en mi casa. Todos deberían invertir en seguridad como esta, no solo beneficia a tu persona, sino que también te ayuda a entender lo importante que es cuidar a las personas a tu alrededor.
Camino dentro de la casa de dos pisos, completamente silenciosa. No tengo empleadas porque rara vez estamos en casa. Me cambio a unos cómodos pantalones cortos de algodón y una de las camisas de Dimitri y camino a la cocina para prepararme la cena o al menos hacer algo comestible para la noche.
¿Quién es Dimitri, preguntas?
Dimitri es mi esposo, mi legítimo esposo desde hace casi cuatro años y medio. Nos casamos bajo diferentes circunstancias y ahora todas esas razones no importan, aunque no importa porque va a terminar muy pronto.
Miro mi bolso y le doy una mirada larga, triste y anhelante. No quería que terminara así, pero así es como debe ser. Han pasado casi cinco años y nuestro tiempo se ha acabado. Todo tiene una fecha de caducidad, eso también se aplica a las relaciones. Terminar las cosas en el momento adecuado siempre es beneficioso para ambas partes, pero no sé por qué duele tanto. Duele de una manera que no puedo explicar.
Sacudo la cabeza para deshacerme de estos pensamientos y me concentro en hacer la cena. Continúo cortando, hirviendo y friendo verduras y pollo hasta que esté medio cocido. Ceno en silencio y pongo el plato sucio en el lavavajillas. Crujiendo un poco mi cuello rígido, camino de regreso a mi dormitorio para un sueño muy necesario. Es la habitación más grande de la casa, con un baño adjunto, un vestidor, tocador, sofá doble, mesa de café y una cama doble con hermosas mesitas de noche. Lo único que falta en la casa perfecta, en el dormitorio perfecto, es la persona con la que se supone que debo compartirlo.
Debería sentirme genial con todo este lujo, pero no lo hago, ni siquiera un poco. No importa cuánto cueste todo esto, pero el dinero por sí solo nunca es suficiente. No dolería tanto si solo fuera yo, pero estar casada y sola es algo triste y deprimente. Sé que no tengo derecho a quejarme ya que acepté esto, pero no importa cuántas veces me consuele, simplemente no puedo deshacerme de estos sentimientos.
Como era de esperar, el sueño no vino a mí tan fácilmente, no importa cuánto intente desconectarme, simplemente no puedo. Sigo mirando el reloj en la mesita de noche y marca las 2:30 am.
Él todavía no está en casa.
Debería estar aquí, ni siquiera está en otro país como constantemente intenta estar, estaba en casa pero aún no está aquí. Esto siempre me hace pensar en la primera vez que hice esto, esperarlo, quiero decir. Siempre se sentirá así.
A veces me pregunto por qué siquiera acepté tal cosa, pero luego pienso en mi querida familia, sus rostros sonrientes me hacen olvidar que vivo así. Vale la pena, sin embargo, el trato con el diablo, vale la pena.
Pero desearía haberme ceñido al contrato como él lo hizo, no caer en su encanto, no pensar en su paradero, no esperarlo en la mesa de la cena, no sentirme tan estúpida por sentirme así. A veces me maldigo por sentirme así, y lo que más odio de mí misma es que me he enamorado de él.
Tal vez sea la idea de él, o que no importa cuán grosero o malo sea conmigo, compartimos la misma razón para nuestro matrimonio.
Él lo hizo por su familia y yo lo hice por la mía, pero la diferencia es que dejé que mis emociones se involucraran y eso es algo que él no permitió que sucediera. Se mantuvo fiel al contrato y me siento como una idiota por no hacer lo mismo.

The Shadow Of A Luna
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before.

"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"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.
