Together Forever twelve
Upon arriving back in the country, they got into a car, leaving Mia with no chance to escape, once again."Are you going to stay like this the whole way?" Nicolas was tired of the lifeless expression on Mia's face. Since disembarking the plane, she seemed devoid of soul, as if her body had lost all its vitality. "Do you want me to stop for breakfast? It's still a long way to our house.""I'm not hungry.""I didn't know you lived on air. You're the perfect woman for a poor man, very cheap. Honestly, marrying me wasn't worth it.""I thought the same thing, but you insisted on buying me."Nicolas didn't say anything; he simply continued to drive, aiming to reach their destination as quickly as possible. With the threat of his wife's escape looming, they were well-prepared. Two SUVs led the way, and two more followed behind, ensuring that no one could take Mia away. The couple's new home was a grand mansion nestled within a forest. It was far from the city, and cellphone reception was poo

Solitude was something Mia cherished in that house, a place that always seemed crowded with people who watched her every move, waiting for her to make a mistake so they could report it to Nicolas. Meanwhile, fury consumed him. He longed for the right to barge into the bathroom and take a shower with his wife, but it wasn't possible. She would kick him out, so he retreated to the garden, as far away as he could, to contain his rage."I brought you more coffee," Ana resumed her duties as a secretary swiftly. By the end of the first week, Nicolas hardly spoke to anyone."Don't you want to join me?" Nicolas sought to regain control of his life after a week of alcohol and solitude."You already have your wife for that.""Please, Ana, have a seat.""I'm sure your wife will get angry.""Just sit down," Nicolas's tone was much calmer than the one he used with his wife. "Being married doesn't mean we can't be friends.""You could have at least told me.""It was all over the news, Ana. You coul
Together Forever fourteen
Things in the mansion were far from good. Arguments were constant, and Mia lived in profound darkness. She cried from the moment she woke up, barely ate, and when she wasn't crying, she was fighting with Nicolas. Things couldn't be worse; it was all torture. Her room was the only place where she felt a little peace, although Nicolas would barge in from time to time to argue."Don't cry anymore, please. Forgive me. I swear I'm not like this. I don't know why, but you always bring out the worst in me," Nicolas felt like his world was going to hell every time he saw her cry. But his ego wouldn't let him set her free."Don't touch me. I told you I'm disgusted by you," Mia responded with anger. It was the only thing she could control.In the end, Nicolas always gave in, leaving in silence, hoping that one day she would love him. But it seemed like her hatred for him grew every day, that the repulsion for him was getting bigger. It was the worst feeling, having the person he loved leave him
Together Forever fiveteen
The days in Nicolas' mansion seemed to stretch endlessly. Mia found herself trapped in her room, her voluntary prison, contemplating the life she had left behind and the love she yearned for with all her heart. The distance from Esteban made her suffer, and the coldness with which she treated Nicolas only made things worse. Every attempt he made to get closer to her was met with icy glances and sharp words.However, deep in her heart, Mia knew that she couldn't go on like this forever. Nullifying the marriage and returning the money Nicolas had given to her family was an option, but the reality of her deceased grandfather and the responsibility she now had over the Brown empire forced her to consider other alternatives.One afternoon, while wandering through the mansion's expansive garden, Mia made a decision. She decided it was time to take a step toward peace, even if it was a small one. She approached Nicolas, who was sitting by the pool, gazing at the reflection of the sun on the
Together Forever one
Mia was patiently waiting for everyone in the hall to be distracted enough so that no one would notice her absence. She didn't want to be there, but she did it for her grandfather. She didn't like the attention she received, and all the protocol was something she wasn't willing to endure. When her grandfather ran into an old friend, Mia took the opportunity to escape through the bathroom window, although her cumbersome dress made her escape attempt anything but easy. She kept getting stuck in the window frame until, finally, after several attempts, she was able to free herself. However, she lost her balance and fell onto someone. Her face turned as white as a sheet. In her mind, there was only the image of one of her grandfather's guards preventing her from leaving, her grandmother's scolding words, and her grandfather's disappointed eyes upon learning that she had failed to keep her promise. "Wouldn't it be better to use the door?" a sweet but manly voice was heard just below her.
Together Forever two
It didn't take long for Mia to leave the mansion. She knew the way perfectly, and it was the one she used when she didn't want anyone to follow her. However, hours before her grandparents' anniversary party, one of her friends told her about a party where Esteban, her first love and ex-boyfriend, would be. Mia tried everything, even pretending to have a strong stomach infection so that they wouldn't force her to go to the party, but in the end, she was dragged by her grandmother. Mia didn't protest anymore because she promised her grandfather that she would behave herself that night. But she could not stop going to the place where her heart was. Since she broke up with Esteban, she had not gone out with anyone, hoping that he would come back to her. Their romance, although brief, was very intense. Everything collapsed quickly after everyone found out that she had gone out with one of the tennis instructors at the social club. The reason she chose Esteban over the boys she had known s
Together Forever three
For Mia, time passed very slowly during the races that lasted about an hour in the evening, with three races held. In the last race, the two winners of the first two races faced each other for the cash prize. Esteban was one of the best runners, which allowed him to pay for college, although it was quite risky. "Are you all right?" Sara asked her friend when she saw her lost in thought. "Yes, it's just that I don't like this place very much," Mia replied. "Don't worry, when Esteban's career is over, ask him to take you to another place." In the end, Mia could only let the time pass, and what she wanted most at that moment was to see Esteban. Just as Sara said, Esteban's race was over, and she could see on the screens installed in the warehouse how he crossed the finish line. Mia wanted to run over to congratulate him, but the space was only reserved for a few people. The races were broadcasted live, but at the finish line, only the runners, some mechanics, sponsors, and one or two
Together Forever four
"It was not easy for Nicolas to lose the person on the motorcycle. He had been chasing them for almost half an hour. He did not know who he was, but he could see that his presence upset the girl. In the end, Nicolas realized that the best way to get the man away was to take the girl to his house. He lived in an exclusive complex, so the guy would be stuck trying to get in, which would give the girl time to stop seeing him and calm down. After parking in front of his house, he touched the shoulder of the girl who was crying silently, but with such great pain that Nicolas' own heart ached. "Are you all right?" Nicolas touched the girl's arm. "We've already lost them." Mia had been watching through the car's mirror the whole time, seeing how Esteban was chasing them and signaling them to stop. She hadn't been paying much attention to the road, so she didn't know where she was. When she realized that she had gotten into the car of a stranger, she was afraid of what could happen to her be
