Natalia was unceremoniously dragged into the bathroom by Javier.
The bathroom is spacious, with white tiles on the walls, grey tiles on the floor and an elegant sink….
With a slight push, Javier pulled her to stand in front of the toilet, and gave her a wink to signal her to go to the bathroom.
Natalia is furious!
-What do you mean, you’re going to watch me go to the bathroom?!
Javier reddened his ears and ducked his head.
-I’ll close my eyes.
Natalia shook his cuffed hands and, with her usual condescension, ordered:
-No! Untie me!
Javier looked at her without the slightest flinch.
-You don’t have to use it if you want to, you deserve to die suffocated!
Natalia growled.
-Suffocate me and your beloved won’t live! Oh, I forgot, she’s dead.
Javier clenched his fist with the other and, after a long moment, just dragged her out of the room. Natalia was quick to pull him back, she had a real internal emergency and needed a bottle of liquid before leaving the hospital….
The damn man!
Natalia’s arrogant image was going to be lost and she had to give in and lower her posture:
-Javier you let go of me first, I promise I won’t run away, I have no passport or money, I can’t go anywhere…..
Passport, cell phone, cash, probably all taken by Carlos as soon as he arrived at Salamonsa….
Javier looked back at him, with a cold voice.
-I wouldn’t trust you.
Natalia was furious, but the next moment she suddenly calmed down and approached Javier, snuggling into his arms and looking at him, in a very soft voice, with a venom of confusion.
-Javier, look at me, you have always listened to me?
Javier looked at her as he had been told…..
-Javier, relax your nerves, you are very tired lately, you need to rest, now, listen to me, close your eyes, yes, you are in a wide meadow, blue sky, infinite grass, like the one I have taken you to, with a soft breeze….
Seeing Javier’s eyes close, Natalia’s heart fluttered with joy as she wondered, how many times had she tried to hypnotize him before without success, and now this was going to work?
-You’re so relaxed now, everything is floating on a cloud…. Tell me, where are the keys to the handcuffs, do you have them on you?
The first thing she saw was a picture in her photo folder, of him and her….
Natalia looked at the photo with astonishment….
-It’s me and my girl, not you.
Javier’s voice rang in her ears, startling Natalia, before she reacted.
-Did you fake it?
Javier lowered his glasses, with a glint of disdain in his eyes, and took the purse from her hand.
-You know you can’t hypnotize me and yet you want to try?
With that, he reached out and turned on the sink faucet, the sound of running water made Natalia piss herself even more, so angry she wanted to stomp her foot and couldn’t help but curse:
-You’re crazy, you psycho!
She took two steps towards the toilet and Javier was pushed, grabbed and growling under his breath;
-Turn around!
Javier turned around meekly, his back to her, his hand cuffed towards….
Looking at his hand, Natalia abandoned her right hand and used her left to pull down her pants very awkwardly, cursing Javier in her head….
Javier saw her in the mirror struggling to remove her pants with one hand, her face flushed and she closed her eyes hurriedly….
Natalia sat on the toilet and breathed a sigh of relief…
When it was time to eat, Javier ordered take-out and they sat next to each other at the table. Natalia could only eat with a spoon in her left hand and was so angry she wanted to smash the table.
Javier drags her into the office to familiarize her with the workings of the company, and they meet in a large conference room. Natalia seems to want to kill him with her eyes, but she is a strong woman and can’t help but get involved in the business discussion….
At the end of the shift, Carlos took a picture of their handcuffed backs coming out, sent it to Micaela and texted her:
-Girl, this is also going to be a punishment for Natalia’s second personality later on.
Micaela replied in seconds:
-What do you mean, after what?
Carlos did not explain, but simply said:
-You will find out later.
