Natalia looked at Javier, her consciousness drifting a little… he was 5’7″, wasn’t he?
In the woman’s vague memory, Nation Mangzarent met him when he had just graduated from high school and was only as tall as she was, and now she needed to look at him with her head tilted up, and the depth of emotion in his eyes was so clear through the lenses….
But it wasn’t her he was looking at!
The hesitation in Natalia’s eyes flickered and she rubbed his head hard.
-You’re dreaming! I defeated her in strength, and now I’m the master of this club body!
The deep emotion in Javier’s eyes also quickly dissipated, and his cuffed hand grasped hers as he pulled her toward the door.
-There’s nothing to say then, I’ll assume you’re my ‘freezer girl’.
Natalia breaks her grip!
-Who’s your freezer girl! -Don’t touch me!
But even though his hands were out of his grip, they were still cuffed and Javier glanced at his broken wrists and, without finishing the sentence, turned and walked out the door.
The two men, handcuffed, advanced, attracting the attention of the medical staff in the hallway and the patients’ families, but Javier ignored them and only slowed down….
Outside the hospital, he hailed a cab and climbed into the back seat.
Mr. Driver looked at their cuffed hands together through the rearview mirror and didn’t say a word, wondering if this was a cop catching a thief or a new display of affection.
Javier gave a list of directions and the car left immediately.
Natalia looked at the handcuffs and said:
-Javier, let go of me and I promise I will never bother Carlos and Micaela again, I will go far away and I will never be in sight of any of you again.
Javier looked at her and returned the three words.
-You are dreaming.
Natalia was furious and squinted to look out the car window.
Javier also looked out the other side of the car window and went over in his mind the sweet moments after he and Natalia had confirmed their feelings for each other?
Where is Natalia old, she’s not old at all!
What’s a five-year age difference?
It was she who witnessed his growth, who turned him from a boy into a man?
That strong woman was truly charming at many times, and he was lucky to be the only man who had seen her charming side….
The car stopped under a block and Javier paid for it, pulling Natalia down.
Mr. Carlos had asked her to stay at Nation Ode for his use, and this man was the residence he had prepared for him.
All the way to the elevator with Natalia in tow, to the door of her new temporary home, where she entered the code and pushed the door.
Natalia looks around, it’s an apartment, well lit and clean, the breeze from the balcony stirs the clean white curtains and it looks comfortable.
Natalia looks at Javier.
-What the hell do you want?
Javier looks at her and raises his hand.
We’re going to be together twenty-four hours a day, inseparable. I will work in Mr. Carlos’s company, and as you are also a talent, you will come, Mr. Carlos’s exact words: squeeze some residual value out of you.
Natalia instantly turned up the volume:
-With what right! I don’t want it!
-For taking over Natalia’s body, for all the hurtful things you’ve done, you deserve to pay for what you’ve done, you have no choice!
Javier, who was always so kind, had an irresistible intensity in his eyes that made Natalia not know what to say, and even made her heart beat faster with some fear.
-I need to go to the bathroom.
She couldn’t believe that man was still with her when she had to go to the bathroom….
-Ah!
exclaimed Natalia, pulled by Javier in the direction of the bathroom, her voice weak:
-We are together.
