-It's been a month that for me has been a century, I can't believe how I was able to live a life without him, too bad that the contract marriage didn't work out, if only he had done his part, we would be together with ten children, three dogs, two cats and an aquarium full of fish, we would go for a walk every weekend to a different beach, suddenly we would go for a picnic every month, because it's complicated to leave the children alone with the nannies, I would like to take my sister to live with us, I am rushing, at times I forget that Angelo pretends not to remember that I am his wife, I do not know what he wants, it would not be to take me to bed, since he got it, I do not consider it my fortune, because his seems to have no limits, unless he is one of those fortune hunters who marry millionaire women who die prematurely, mostly poisoned, thus increasing exponentially their assets, that may be my assumptions, like the time I thought that a female employee kissed him, it must have been the darkness and the liquor that played a trick on me like the time at the university with Professor Daniela or with the cheater Catherine, I did not imagine that having a handsome man would be so dramatic, although with an ugly one it must be the same only that maybe he would not be stalked by beautiful women or with a high self-esteem, of course that is being classist, it is said that beauty responds to the eye of each one, my handsome one is the ugly one of another one, like that tribe in Africa that prefers obese women, because being overweight gives them elitist status, so he may think he is the most beautiful man in the world and he is not, as it happens with their own children, in my case it would be my sister, I see her as a ray of light, so tender so cute, that's why I came to visit her, the truth I feel sorry for not visiting her so often, here I am knocking on her door feeling the excitement in my belly to see her again, and she opens it screaming with emotion:

-Sis, it's so good to see you again, you had forgotten me,

We embrace, filling each other's cheeks with kisses.

-I don't know why you insist on living with your adoptive parents instead of going with me," I told her, seeing her pouting at me.

-Well, I am fond of them, besides they take good care of me, I have been a little bit sickly," she says hugging me and making those pouts that make me feel tender.

-Beautiful, why didn't you call me, I had come running, what happened to you?

-The usual, you know I have a factory defect," she says, trying to minimize the congenital heart disease she was born with.

-Sis, I know you have been very busy, I saw on TV about the mine collapse and the accident of your adoptive parents, I know it must have been very hard for you, all that work in the companies and with your studies, you must not have time for yourself, you won't even have a boyfriend, and even less with the experience of your failed marriage.

-If you knew that I even went on a Caribbean cruise, I didn't take you because it was unexpected and besides, the main reason was to recover an evidence.

-Sister, an eminence of what? it's just that sometimes I talk fast, especially when something makes me uneasy.

-It turns out that my parents' accident and the mine were provoked.

-It must be our creepy morbid uncle.

-No, sis, or at least I haven't proved it, I have evidence against Luis, one of the partners, he is a man, he is very dangerous, that is one of the reasons for my visit, the main one is to see that you are well, the other is that I asked a police friend to keep an eye on you and these days I will send you some escorts, I am worried that those men will try something against you.

-Sister, please take care of yourself, my Ximena, I love you more than the sun and the stars.

-I also came for you to accompany me to the company's annual party, we must go to show off as the main stockholders, daughters of the founders.

-But Ximena, I have not yet complied with the clause that allows me access to the inheritance.

-That will be for us to solve later, for now I need you close by to watch our backs and I want to keep an eye on you," she looks at me as if she was going to burst into tears. -Sis, we should move in together.

-That's a very good idea, only at the moment it's not possible.

-I know, you're living with a sexy stud and you don't want to tell me.

-Emily, I wish I was, I'd love to, it's just that the man doesn't suit me.

-Wow, you even have time left to have romantic adventures," she says, jumping up and down and shaking her head, smiling with her eyes closed.

That's a never-ending story, a story without a happy ending, a love fable without a moral, a fairy tale without magic, a salty coffee.

-How sad is that, Ximena, although suddenly there is the possibility that your lover will love you back or whatever it is that keeps you from being together will be fixed. -Emily, it's very complicated, even if another moment of love happens, I don't see a good outcome.

-Tell me Ximena, what happened.

-It's something crazy that I don't even know how to tell you.

-1

I suppose you will tell me in due time, I, on the other hand, had a boyfriend, a boy from the orphanage, his name was Harvey.

-We called him alverja, how wicked we were.

-Ximena remembers that it was because they teased me a lot, they made fun of me for not being able to eat, for spending a lot of time in the hospital, although you know that children are cruel.

-Yes, those are other times, now we can make men suffer in other ways, we make traps made of kisses, impregnating them with perfumes to make them fall in love and when we have them dominated, we will throw them into a well of tears of rejection. -Harvey was very attentive, although you know he's not nice, his beauty is rare, his face is brusque, maybe he's a lover on Mars, I don't know, the fact is that he was very tender and servile, besides, you remember what I told you about Herrin.

-He was that handsome boy, the one that all the women looked at when you walked down the street, I remember the time in the restaurant when the waitress filled the wine glass because she saw him staining your dress, I was worried about you, it's day, you almost had one of those heart attacks.

-Of course, that look cost her the job and that's the point, with Herrín I was jealous of him because women came on to him shamelessly and I even followed him day and night, I became intense calling him every time, I controlled him, I made him not to dress up so much and I didn't even let him go out with his friends, I became a witch, a kidnapper, in the end I bored him and he left me, I apologized a thousand times, I even gave him the strands of hair that I had pulled out, I knew I had hit bottom, I reflected on that when I drank some liquor that sent me to the hospital for a month.
