-Where’s the picture? -Carlos asked.
-It was thrown in the trash by Olivia. I wanted to pick it up, but the garbage was picked up…..
Carlos took the tie clip out of his shirt pocket and placed it in Micaela’s hand.
-He has always been with me as close to my heart as possible….
Micaela thought Carlos had accidentally lost it.
The position now made her uncomfortable and, luckily, no one else could see her. She admitted:
-I was very angry at the time because it was something I had made for you. I thought you’d even lost it and I wasn’t thinking too much about it, so I just….
Carlos kissed her cheek and said:
-Just to punish me? Make me not care about anything else and I’ll be right back. Little girl, you will have to pay for what you did.
Then, Carlos blocked her lips by using his lips….

Leonardo took Olivia to his house.
Olivia looked at the villa she had lived in for most of the year, she felt a little reluctant.
Leaving Olivia’s suitcase, Leonardo hugged her from behind.
-Olivia, I love you,” Leonardo said sincerely.
Leonardo let Olivia walk around and wanted to kiss her. Olivia avoided him and said:
-I’m very tired, I’ll go wash up first.
She broke away from him and went upstairs.
Leonardo felt a little frustrated and followed her for a while. He went straight to the bathroom, but the door was locked from the inside.
Leonardo smiled and wanted to see how long he could hide?
He went to the bathroom in the second bedroom and showered. When he returned to his room, Olivia had also finished washing and was wearing a pink nightgown sitting on the dressing table blowing out her hair….
Leonardo pulled a small box out of his jacket, walked over to her kneeling on one knee with the small box open and handed it to Olivia.
Olivia looked at the diamond ring, a little frozen, half a beat before she turned off the hair dryer and looked at Leonardo….
Leonardo looked seriously at Olivia and said:
-Olivia, marry me, I will love you for the rest of your life. In a few days, we will go to choose the wedding date, okay?
It will take a few more days…
Olivia’s heart sank instantly.
When she finished, Leonardo took the ring out of the box. He took off the ring he had given her last Valentine’s Day and put on the new one.
-“From now on, every year, on our wedding anniversary, I will give you a ring. When we’re eighty years old, you’ll have a drawer full of rings, okay?
Olivia imagined that image and couldn’t help crying with emotion. Leonardo put his arms around her and laid her on the bed.
But suddenly Olivia remembered what Natalia had said.
-Really, there’s no need for you to care. After all, Leonardo and I are just pretending to be lovers to get what we want. You’ll just have to suffer a little.
-It’s natural for my father to talk it over with you. After all, he also wants Leonardo and I to be really together.
-You can’t help him in his career, but I can. So you have to know how to give up. Men think that career is more important than love. But without incident it will definitely give you a name in a few years.

Olivia pushed Leonardo away forcefully.
Leonardo was a little surprised and said in a muffled voice:
-We haven’t had sex in a month, do you really not want to?
Olivia felt a little comforted by these words, but her heart still ached. She pushed Leonardo off her and sat on top of him.
Leonardo was not surprised. His wife always had amazing behaviors to do…..
He was committed to marry Olivia as soon as the Natalia affair was over.
The next day, in Barrio Fanslan.
Micaela lay on the fluffy bed with a pillow in her arms. She was sleeping soundly when her phone rang….
Dazed, she reached for the phone and picked it up.
-Micaela, you’re still not up? Is it because you were too tired from making love to Mr. Aguayo last night that you can’t get out of bed now?
Micaela’s eyes shot open thinking about who was saying such things.
Only after reading the name did she realize it was Olivia.
Micaela blushed a little, what she was saying was the truth!
Thinking back to the night before, Micaela suddenly clutched the pillow in her hand fiercely. That big bad man said it was the last time, it was all a lie!
-Olivia, what’s the matter calling me so early? -Micaela asked.
-So early? Look at the time, it’s almost eleven now, okay? Who was it who said he would invite me to lunch? Hurry up, I’ve reserved a table at TOBEWITHYOU and I’ve contacted Alba.
Micaela was quick to agree.
She also wanted to talk to Alba.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the time, it really was almost eleven. She had actually slept all morning.
Micaela thought, hadn’t she slept well last night?
“A man with a lot of energy is very scary!”
Micaela saw that what she was holding in her arms was Carlos’ pillow, Micaela blushed even more. She threw the pillow away and looked around, the room was filled with Carlos’ scent, it felt so happy to be home!
Micaela was in a good mood, she washed up and went downstairs.
Carlos must have gone to the office. When Micaela came back yesterday, he hadn’t told her anything serious and the Tomas thing, so she wanted to call him and ask.
She was thinking about pulling out her phone when the first one rang. It was Carlos’ call.
The man’s magnetic voice came through the phone.
-Are you awake?
-Yes.
-How did you feel last night?
-Don’t say that… -Micaela blushed instantly.
-Okay, I’m going to tell you the most important thing.
-Well, tell me.
-Micaela, I miss you a lot.
-But we’ve only been apart for a few hours,” Micaela said happily.
-Come to the company to keep me company, okay?
-Carlos, is it something important?
-Of course, there’s nothing more important than this.
