Distrusting Her
Teodoro liked that response; he understood that Grecia was leaving the door open for him to conquer her, or at least that’s how he had interpreted it.
“I would like to see you, to have you let me get close to you,” he decided to be direct once and for all. He didn’t know if he would have another chance with her.
“Don’t you think you’re moving too fast? I believe we should get to know each other gradually. Right now, I’m focused on my work, and I don’t have much free time.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll know how to wait,” he said this and approached her, taking her chin with his hand. She immediately moved away.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think it would bother you…”
“It’s not that. It just caught me by surprise. Besides, as long as you have a partner, someone might misinterpret things.”
Ava tried to appear distant for the rest of the dinner, and Teodoro thought he was being stupid. He shouldn’t behave like this on their first date.
“Would it bother you if I call you or send you a message from time to time?”
“Not at all. I’ll be glad to hear from you. As soon as I have some free time, I’ll call you to meet up.”
“The wait will be eternal.”
After finishing dinner, he offered to take her home, but Ava declined, saying she preferred to take a taxi. He took her hand and kissed it as a farewell gesture, and at that moment, Ava felt her cheek burning.
Teodoro’s mistress had noticed that he was acting strange and evasive, which she found suspicious. So, after following them, she waited for them to exit the restaurant, not wanting to cause a scene inside the very exclusive establishment.
As soon as they exited, she approached and delivered a strong blow to Ava’s face. Teodoro couldn’t believe his luck. This woman had dared to hit Grecia. He grabbed his lover’s arm firmly. Ava contemplated retaliating against the woman’s attack, but it was more advantageous for her to appear as the victim in Teodoro’s eyes.
“What the hell have you done? How dare you hit Grecia?” Teodoro was absolutely furious.
“How dare you see me with this one,” the woman tried to hit Ava again, but Teodoro held her back.
“I’m here talking about business with the lady. You act without considering the consequences.”
“Since when do we call appointments with sluts ‘business’?”
Ava lowered her gaze and pretended to cry.
“Apologize to Grecia, I won’t ask you twice,” Teodoro demanded, glaring at the woman.
“I won’t do it. She should apologize to me for flirting with you,” she said as she managed to break free from his grip.
“Apologize right now, or starting tomorrow, I’ll cancel all your credit cards,” Teodoro exclaimed, determined.
“Dare to do it, Teodoro Miller, and I assure you, you’ll lose,” she said as she turned around, pretending to walk away. Suddenly, the woman turned and pushed Ava, causing her to lose her balance, and then she angrily walked away.
“Grecia, are you okay?” Teodoro took her arm to help her up.
“I’m fine, just a little hurt from the fall.”
Teodoro hugged her, trying to comfort her.
Mateo, who was still in the car, had been restraining himself from intervening, but he couldn’t bear to see Teodoro hugging Ava. He got out of the car immediately and approached them.
“Grecia, what’s going on?” He pretended to be surprised.
“Mateo, what are you doing here?” Ava also pretended to be surprised by his presence.
“I had plans to meet some people at this place.”
“What a coincidence, Licciardi, all three of us ending up in the same place without planning it.”
“Mr. Miller, I see you’re embracing my girlfriend.”
“Don’t misinterpret the situation, I was just leaving, and I saw that the lady stumbled and hurt herself. I simply helped her up,” the shameless man dared to lie.
“Is that true, Grecia?” Mateo had to make an effort not to laugh in Teodoro’s face.
“Yes, Mr. Miller simply helped me.”
“Goodbye, Miss Grecia, Mr. Licciardi. It was a pleasure running into you.”
“Goodbye, Mr. Miller,” Ava said, smiling.
Teodoro immediately walked away from there. He wanted Grecia for himself, but it wasn’t the time to argue with Licciardi. He was the largest investor in his company, and it wasn’t time to reveal his true intentions yet.
Grecia had to be interested in him; only that way would she keep quiet about what had really happened. He would deal with his lover later. He couldn’t provoke her; she knew too much about his illicit dealings.
“Are you really okay, amore?” Mateo asked with concern.
“Yes, that woman is crazy. I need to be careful with her, or she could ruin my plans.”
“I still think it’s too risky for you.”
“I need to gain Teodoro’s trust. I know it won’t be difficult.”
They headed to the penthouse. Mateo didn’t want to be away from her. He wanted to be with his son, but the baby was asleep, well taken care of by the nanny. He hoped to spend the night with Ava by his side.
The night was too short for them. When there is love and passion, a few hours are not enough. Mateo’s birthday was approaching, and Ava was thinking of something special to give him.
The next day, Mateo went to his office, and Ava took the opportunity to visit Lola. She desperately wanted to see her son.
“How has my son been, nanny?” she asked as she reached out to receive him.
“This little one is an angel, always well-behaved. I think he’s the best-behaved child I’ve ever known,” Lola smiled as she spoke about her grandson. Ava considered Lola like her mother.
Later, Ava received a call and left in a hurry. In a café, a girl was waiting for her. Mateo had called her to invite her to lunch, but she didn’t answer. Her phone was off.
Days passed, and the same thing kept happening. Ava would turn off her phone at certain times when they weren’t together. Mateo was curious about where she was because he had gone to Lola’s and her son’s place several times but couldn’t find her.
He didn’t want to appear controlling and obsessive, but he was growing increasingly uncomfortable with the situation. Ava had something up her sleeve, but he had no idea what it could be.
Ava had been enduring calls and messages from Teodoro, making excuses to avoid seeing him. She wanted to drive him to the brink of desperation, to make him willing to do anything for her.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Lola always said, “If you want a man to be willing to do anything for you, subtly flirt with him while also appearing distant. That drives them crazy. Let him know you’re attracted to him but that he can’t have you whenever he wants. That will pique his interest in you even more.”
Ava had been turning off her phone for two weeks now, and she knew that Mateo was desperate. She could tell.
It was Mateo’s birthday, and he couldn’t take it anymore. He had decided to follow her, unable to bear the uncertainty. In the morning, she hadn’t wished him a happy birthday, and he thought she had forgotten.
They had stayed together in the penthouse. In the morning, when he entered the dressing room, she was changing. He noticed she was wearing lace lingerie, his favorite, knowing it drove him wild. But then she put on just a trench coat over it, and he assumed she was planning to surprise him at the office. Or so he hoped.
Mateo pretended to leave but then returned, parking his car nearby. He saw her leave and take a taxi. He followed her to a building and saw her enter an apartment. He stood outside the door, hesitating to go in. What if he found her with another man?
A thousand images raced through his mind. He would go insane if someone else dared to touch her body. He couldn’t bear such a thing; he loved her too much. She belonged to him and him alone. He turned the doorknob and entered the dark apartment, closing the door carefully. He ventured inside, preparing for the worst.
Suddenly, a dim neon light turned on, which took him by surprise. As he turned around, he saw Ava, another girl was with her. Ava pulled him and began unbuttoning his shirt. Then, she sat him in a chair, tied his hands behind his back and his feet to the sides of the chair. She leaned closer to his ear and whispered in a very seductive voice.
“This is your gift, enjoy it.”
Mateo felt his skin tingle, a slow music (Earned it by The Weeknd) began to play. The girls started to slowly undress, leaving Ava in just her underwear and the other girl in a small, short shorts and a top. They began to move sensually to the rhythm of the music, getting closer to each other without touching, it was an enchanting dance.
Mateo realized that Ava had prepared for this night, she started to touch him softly. The other girl handed him a small lipstick-shaped device, knowing very well the sensations it would produce.
Ava began to touch sensitive spots on Mateo’s body, he felt thousands of small sparks coursing through his body, awakening his libido. It was the first time he had ever felt it this way, as he was usually the one who provoked it.
The girls continued to move, spinning around him for a while longer, and then the other girl approached Mateo’s ear.
“Enjoy your surprise, and your girl,” Mateo smiled when he heard her.
