Natalia didn’t expect Santiago to be so strong even though he was very sleepy.
-No, we can’t be in the same room -Santiago rejected her proposal.
Natalia pursed her lips.
-But the nearest hotel from my house is a few miles away. You can’t drive like that. I don’t have a driver’s license and I’m worried about you taking a cab back on your own. You wouldn’t want me to go to the hotel with you either, would you?
There was simply no other way.
Santiago was anxious and very sleepy. This strange state made him think that Natalia had drugged him, but they were drinking tea from the same teapot and Natalia was fine.
Besides, Santiago had chosen the cup himself. Even if Natalia was smart, he couldn’t know in advance which cup she would choose.
So that thought was abandoned.
After a long time, Santiago said.
-I’ll rest for a while in your living room and you’ll sleep in the bedroom, but I don’t want something to happen that shouldn’t happen.
Natalia smiled when she heard what he said, looked at him and swore.
-If I do something I shouldn’t do, tomorrow I’ll resign myself, I’ll leave Sogen City and I’ll never see you again, okay?
There was irony in her eyes and she was a little angry, as if Santiago had insulted her.
Santiago averted his eyes in discomfort, even if the words made Natalia uncomfortable, he had to say them.
The two came to an agreement.
Natalia washed up, took out the spare toiletries and handed them to him.
-Go and wash up.
Santiago received them and quickly went to the bathroom.
When he finished, the living room was empty, and the bedroom door was securely closed, Natalia should have returned to the bedroom to sleep.
Santiago was relieved by her action. He was sitting on the couch, and since he was tall, he couldn’t stretch out at all, but he was so sleepy that he fell asleep soon after lying down.
Almost half an hour passed.
The door to Natalia’s room suddenly opened, she crept out from inside and looked at the sleeping person on the couch.
She approached quietly, squatted down in front of Santiago and said.
-Santiago, wake up.
He called out to him three times in a row and no one answered, it seemed that he really did fall asleep.
Moonlight streamed in from outside and shone on the couch. Because of his family, Santiago led a free and unrestrained life, and his appearance was also very exaggerated, handsome and arrogant at first glance.
This kind of appearance and character was easy to attract girls.
Natalia looked at him carefully. When she was in college, she was not very beautiful, and she used some tricks to become his girlfriend.
Although they had been together for more than a year, they hadn’t made it to the last step. Santiago definitely didn’t treat her as seriously as he did his current girlfriend.
Now, Santiago loved to party, and he was even less reliable than when he was in college.
Although Natalia was proud that he was her first love, she was jealous of his current girlfriend.
She looked at him for a long time before looking away.
Even though Santiago was asleep, she wasn’t planning on doing anything to him, after all, she swore she wouldn’t. Besides, Santiago was not the type of person who could be controlled by a sexual relationship.
If she really took this opportunity to do something to Santiago, she would be the one who would suffer in the end.
Her goal was to become his real girlfriend, and marry him, not just have a one-time relationship with him.
Natalia looked at the phone on the table, and looked at Santiago. She picked up the phone carefully and saw that it was set up with a password.
She thought for a moment, then typed in Santiago’s birthday and unlocked it.
Indeed, Santiago was so lazy that he did not change the password for so many years.
After unlocking the phone, she saw his Whatsapp friends list, and one person’s note was “Fairy Ariana”.
Natalia couldn’t help but grit her teeth, she was a little jealous. This should be Santiago’s girlfriend’s Whatsapp account.
Resisting the jealousy, she took a general glance at their conversation.
The last message was from Santiago convincing her to go to sleep. Many of the earlier messages showed Santiago’s sweetness, and his earlier arrogance was greatly toned down in front of Ariana.
How could Natalia not be jealous?
She thought for a moment, took a picture with Santagio sleeping behind her, and sent it directly to Ariana.
She saw that Ariana was writing and then quickly deleted the photo.
After waiting a long time, there was no message. Natalia finally showed a smirk on her face.
She was right.
After learning that Santiago had a girlfriend, she researched some news about Ariana, but knew very little.
But she was a psychiatrist, so when Ariana went to the hospital to look for her, she was able to vaguely infer her character.
For example, she had a delicate mind and was a bit sensitive and inferior, and Santiago’s personality might have caused her some uneasiness and suspicion.
Also, Santiago did not know that his girlfriend had come to the hospital, and he did not know that his girlfriend already knew of his existence.
Ariana already knew that she was Santiago’s first love, she also knew that Santiago took care of her for one night, but she did not question Santiago, and did not cause problems. She was probably used to being independent and just wanted to work things out on her own.
That’s why Natalia dared to send the photo directly to Ariana, she was sure she wouldn’t tell Santiago.
Indeed, it kept showing that she was writing, but she was not receiving any messages.
Natalia’s goal had been achieved. She did it to force Ariana to take her presence seriously, then she could continue with her plan.
She had nothing she could do in front of Santiago, so she would start with his girlfriend.
She put the phone down, looked at Santiago, who was still asleep, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason Santiago was so sleepy was indeed because of her. To get him to let his guard down, she drank too, but in smaller quantities. She had been holding back and pretending to be her usual self.
But now she felt a strong sense of sleepiness.
Natalia whispered to Santiago.
-You will be mine.
After that, she went back to her bedroom.
***
Ariana sat at the bay window, the room was completely dark, with only the moonlight illuminating it. It was completely dark outside and she kept looking out the window, but Santiago didn’t come back at the end.
She remembered the picture she had just seen, and bit her finger hard.
Santiago stayed at Natalia’s house.
“This should be considered treason! Should I talk to him about it?”
She would end her relationship with him for good.
Ariana looked at the previous talk between the two of them over and over again.
In the messages Santiago sent her earlier, she could see his tenderness and affection.
Santiago really was very kind to her.
But why was he with another girl in such a short time?
Ariana could not understand and could not accept this situation. She liked Santiago very much. When she was with him in the beginning, she thought about marrying him.
Because of her parents’ unfortunate marriage, she had always stayed away from marriage, but she was very happy with Santiago and even tried to marry him.
She was eager to marry and have children with Santiago, and wanted her children to live freely like Santiago.
But a problem occurred in such a short time.
What she liked was Santiago’s wildness, but because of that, she often worried and felt unable to fit in with him.
Ariana sighed, maybe she should have listened to Albina, and not chosen to be with Santiago. She wanted love, but in the end she felt hurt and more disappointed with him.
She sat by the window until dawn. She got up, put on her clothes, put on her makeup delicately to hide the haggard look on her face, then pulled out her phone and checked the address she had asked Kevin for before she did her research.
It was Natalia’s address.
