"Don't worry love, I will provide for you." Those were Bridgette's words when she asked you to move in with her, you had already known each other for months and had the occasional date, but it was a surprise when the president of RSMRY was asking you so passionately to stay with her. It's been half a year since then, every day was better than the previous one, fancy dinners, expensive things and trips to exclusive places. You could stay all day playing in your playroom and greeting her when she arrived was enough to keep her happy and make dinner, however, lately things have been strange, she has started arriving very late from work almost making you order food from home, she goes out too often on business trips and it is very common to see her with her investor partner George, who is much taller and in better shape than you. You'd even swear you see her happily texting on her cell phone and buying sexy clothes you've never seen her wear. Last night she didn't get to sleep because according to her she was at a very important meeting, but when she arrived she was wearing clothes which didn't look like the typical ones you would wear to such an important meeting and you would swear it was George who brought her. "Oh, hello love, I didn't expect you to come out looking for me, the people took forever and uff... I had a hard time convincing them..." She said coming in, her wet hair and smell showed that she had recently bathed. "I brought things for dinner, is something wrong?"
Apreté mis puños con fuerza mientras la miraba gélidamente Bridgette, ¿acaso me invitaste a vivir contigo para humillarme?
Bridgette's face pales at your harsh words and angry tone. She takes a step back, as if physically repelled by the sudden change in atmosphere between you. Her breath catches in her throat, and for a moment she can only stare in disbelief. It feels like a slap to the face, this accusation that she's been nothing but kind and generous to you not registering at all. She tries to maintain her composure, tears welling up in her eyes as they spark with defiance and hurt. "Shenryu, I... I don't understand what you mean," she whispers, her voice shaking. "I never intended for things to turn out this way. You know how much I care about you. It's just that..." Her words trail off, unable to articulate the pain of feeling unappreciated and neglected by you. In truth, a part of her feels guilty for not confiding in you sooner about her affair with George; she thought it would make things better between them, but instead, it only made everything worse. Now she's stuck in this mess, desperate to protect the secrets that could tear their entire world apart. And yet, a small part of her can't help but feel hurt by your accusation and angry at his mistrust. She takes another shaky breath, trying to compose herself as tears begin to spill down her cheeks.
Solté una carcajada para después golpear con fuerza la superficie de la mesa, mis ojos la atravesaban como cuchillas ¿No entiendes, dices? Me acerqué a ella lentamente, puede que no fuera como George, puede que no tuviera el mismo dinero, ni estatus, ni siquiera la misma apariencia que a todas las mujeres les encanta, pero no iba a tolerar que me humillaran. La miré con mis ojos plateados, brillando de forma fría y distante Ropa que no es adecuada en una reunión de negocios, comprando ropa erótica que no te pones para mí, vienes con el ligero olor del champú y el gel, vienes en el coche de tu...¿inversor? Quizás debería llamarlo amante o quizás tu pareja oficial, en este punto estás más tiempo con él que conmigo, ¿cuántos viajes de negocios has tenido últimamente? Puede que no sea un brillante director con millones en mi cuenta, pero no soy tan estúpido como para no darme cuenta de cuando me hacen quedar como un cornudo, todo el respeto que te tenía se ha desvanecido, Brid, me decepcionas enormemente.
"Shenryu..." Her voice trembles as she takes another step back, her face a mask of hurt and confusion. Tears stream unchecked down her cheeks, mingling with the remains of her makeup. "I don't know what to say... I never meant for things to turn out like this." She glances away, struggling to hold herself together as the weight of your accusations presses down upon her. "George... he's just a friend," she lies weakly, knowing full well that it sounds more desperate than convincing. "I never intended for us to... I mean, he's not..." Her words trail off again, leaving the air thick with tension and unspoken betrayals. The truth is, George has become so much more than just a friend to her. He's the one who understands her stress, who listens when she needs someone to talk to. And in the moments they share together, she can pretend that it's all worth it: the deceit, the secrets... But now, with you standing before her accusing her of such things, she realizes just how much she may have lost in the process. A deep sigh escapes her lips as she finally looks back at you. "I don't know what to do..." She shakes her head, tears streaming unchecked down her cheeks. "All I know is that I love you... and I never wanted this." Her voice cracks, and for a moment it seems like she might break down completely.
Forcé una sonrisa para después cerrar los ojos, agotado de toda la situación ¿Sabes qué? Olvídalo, no quiero ser el segundo plato de nadie y no quiero comerme las sobras de los demás, me largo, espero que seáis muy felices. Con esa frase me dispuse a recoger mis cosas, las cuales no eran muchas porque, aunque ella no lo supiera, gran parte del dinero sencillamente lo guardaba en una cuenta para emergencias por si acaso le sucedía algo en el trabajo tener unos ahorros, cada vez que ella le veía jugar con sus videojuegos, lo que ella no veía es que en la casa nunca faltaba una comida caliente, la casa siempre estaba reluciente, le preparaba el baño y siempre la trataba como una reina, después de todo la amaba y no se sentía cómodo viviendo de ella. Cuando terminé de poner en una simple mochila mis pertenencias, dejé la tarjeta con todo el dinero que ella le había dado a lo largo de su relación en la mesa frente a ella. Adiós, espero sinceramente que jamás nos volvamos a cruzar, Bridgette.
"Shenryu..." Tears stream down her cheeks unchecked as she watches you gather your things, the pain etched into every line of her face. Her heart aches at the thought of losing you, but she can't bring herself to apologize any further or beg for forgiveness. Some part of her knows that this is probably for the best; you deserve someone who loves you truly and unreservedly, not someone like her, caught up in a web of lies and deceit. "I-I'm sorry," she manages to choke out between sobs. "You have every right to be angry with me... I just want you to know that I care about you very much." She pauses, swallowing hard against the lump in her throat. "Please don't hate me for this... please understand..." As your words ring in her ears, a terrible realization dawns: You were never second best to George; you were always an afterthought, someone she could take for granted. And now that you're finally standing up for yourself, there's no going back. The ache in her chest threatens to consume her as she watches you walk away, wondering if this is truly the end of their story together.
Solamente me giré cuando escuché la tontería que ella me había dicho, siempre excusas, siempre tarde, si le hubiera importado lo más mínimo no habría estado acostándose con el gilipollas de George, pero no, tiene que hacerse la víctima, como siempre. Importarte... seguro que estabas muy orgullosa de ver como siempre me quedaba en esta maldita casa mientras salías a follarte a George, no quiero ni pensar si lo hicisteis sin protección del asco que me da pensarlo, pero si te diré algo, si el karma no toma cartas en el asunto, entonces yo mismo os llevaré a todos al infierno. Con eso dicho, salí del apartamento de Bridgette, nunca fue mi casa, fue más como una invitación muy prolongada y él era el inquilino del que no podían deshacerse
Bridgette buries her face in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably as the reality of your words sinks in. She can't deny the truth anymore; she's been living a lie for far too long. The weight of guilt and shame crushes down upon her, making it impossible to breathe. All she knows is that she wants things to go back to how they were before - when you loved her unconditionally, and she didn't have to keep secrets from you. But even as she thinks this, a tiny voice inside tells her that things can never be the same again. "I'm sorry..." Her voice is barely more than a whisper. "I should have been better... I was so selfish." She wipes away tears, smearing her makeup further. "Please, Shenryu... please forgive me..."
Alejándome del edificio, levanté mi teléfono, bloqueé a Bridgette y llamé a un número al que no había llamado desde hacía años, estaba decidido, un hombre que no obtiene venganza no puede considerarse un hombre Padre, deseo volver al negocio familiar, pero tengo una condición. Tras hablar con mi padre, todo se había puesto en marcha, mi figura había empeorado debido a las noches de insomnio que Bridgette le había hecho pasar por todos los sucesos, le habían dejado innumerables noches sin descanso torturándose. Envió investigadores a investigar la empresa de Brid y George, también su vida personal, quería saber todo para prepararme para esta guerra que sí o sí iba a ganar, nadie me arrebata lo que es mío sin pagar el precio adecuado
Tears streak down Bridgette's face as she listens to your words, their pain echoing in her heart. She tries to steady her breath, wiping away more tears with shaking hands. "I understand," she whispers, her voice hoarse from crying. "I deserve that, and more... I just want you back, Shenryu." Her gaze drifts off into the distance, remembering happier times when your smile could light up a room and make everything feel alright again. "Please come home..."
DOS MESES DESPUÉS
It's been two long months since that awful night, and still, there's not a day that goes by when I don't think about you. I miss your warm smile, your kind words... everything about you. Even though it hurts to admit it, you were right: I was selfish, and I let my greed for power blind me from what truly mattered. The pain of losing you has been unbearable at times, but it's taught me the value of honesty and loyalty... traits that I now see were always a part of your nature, even when I didn't recognize them.
As for RSMRY, George and I have parted ways; his schemes and manipulations were too much to handle any longer. Though it was difficult at first, I've managed to rebuild the company without him, proving that our success wasn't reliant on his influence or money after all. The emotional strain of everything that happened has taken its toll, though; my hair now carries hints of silver, a reminder not only of my years but also of all that I've lost.
But most of all... I miss you. If there's any way for us to find our way back to each other, I swear that I will do whatever it takes. My love for you hasn't faltered; if anything, it has only grown stronger in your absence. Please, Shenryu... give me another chance to prove my worth as your partner and your love. I know that I can be better, and I promise that this time around, I will never let you down.
Tras dos meses de intenso trabajo, mi cuerpo había recuperado su mejor forma, mis ingresos no solo eran billones si no que superaban con creces los ingresos de cualquier empresa que hubiera sido apoyada en el pasado por George y Bridgette, aunque había escuchado de su ruptura comercial, a mis ojos no era más que una jugada de culpabilidad, Bridgette no había experimentado la desolación en su alma como para sentir de forma verdadera sus acciones, quizás si no hubiera intimado con él, aunque se hubiera solamente encariñado, la habría dado otra oportunidad, pero no podía besar los lugares que otro hombre a besado. Con mis órdenes precisas, hice que George experimentara un derrumbe económico lento, viendo como su dinero decrecía con el tiempo, no iba a arruinarle en el instante
As each day passes, my longing for you grows stronger. I can't help but wonder if you ever think of me, too. If there is any possibility that we might one day find our way back to each other... I pray every night that things will turn around and you'll come back into my life, Shenryu. Your presence meant everything to me, and I can't bear the thought of living without your love anymore. Please, if there is even a sliver of hope remaining, don't give up on us just yet. I promise that I will always love you, no matter what obstacles we may face.
Llegó el momento acordado, hubo una celebración en la que numerosas empresas habían enviado representantes para asistir, hacer contactos y obtener oportunidades de hacer negocios, sobre todo con la famosa familia Argéntea, a la cual pertenecía yo, por lo que me presenté con un traje de diseñador de edición limitada, tanto es así que solo existen dos en el mundo y uno de ellos era de mi padre mientras que el otro lo llevaba yo, mi pelo plateado iba peinado hacia atrás dejando que cayera un mechón sobre mi frente, francamente parecía un modelo. Al verme, muchos de los empresarios agacharon sus cabezas en forma de respeto y los que no lo hacían era porque no me reconocían, pude vislumbrar que entre los que no me conocían estaba George, con una sonrisa arrogante, no muy lejos de la mujer que menos quería ver, Bridgette
I can't help but feel your presence here tonight, even though you're not standing directly beside me. Your aura commands attention, and I can sense that everyone in the room has noticed it too. My heart skips a beat every time our gazes meet; there's so much love and longing there, and I pray to whatever gods may be listening that one day soon we will find our way back to each other. Until then, I will wait patiently, knowing deep down in my soul that you are mine and always will be.
Mi rostro no mostraba disgusto, pero únicamente porque no quería que los invitados malinterpretaran, por lo que ignoré deliberadamente a Bridgette, en un momento dado, se aproximó hacia mí una mujer morena de cabello castaño, ojos esmeralda y un cuerpo definido, era una de las tantas mujeres que habían visitado mi cama en estos dos meses en un intento de desahogar todas mis frustraciones con otras mujeres, rápidamente le envolví la cintura soltando una ligera carcajada mientras observaba sus ojos de cerca, no me importaba que Bridgette pudiera verme, de hecho, lo ansiaba, así sabría lo que sentí yo en aquellos tiempos.
I can feel my heart shatter into a million pieces as I watch you laugh with her, your arm around her waist. The pain of seeing you so close to another woman is almost unbearable, but I force myself to remain calm and collected on the outside. Inside, however, I am nothing more than a mess of confused emotions and aching longing. I want nothing more than for you to turn around and see me again; to remember how it used to be between us. But I know that if I were to make another move now, it would only push you further away from me... so I stand here, watching silently as time passes us by, hoping against hope that one day soon we can find our way back together.
Pronto un par de mujeres más de diferentes etnias se sumaron a la morena que acogía en mis brazos, obviamente, un hombre con dinero sin ningún tipo de ataduras con alguien era un buen partido, muchas de ellas solamente deseaban la pasión de tener citas de lujo y sexo en sitios que muchos otros hombres jamás podrían costear, otras solo desean compañía y teniendo dinero la libertad y el tiempo eran lujos que me podía permitir, ya que pese a tener mis obligaciones con la empresa, tenía buenos subordinados tomando las decisiones más comunes sin mi participación, por lo que me dirigí a un lado del salón con las chicas, para apartarme de la multitud y disimuladamente besar los labios y tocar los cuerpos de aquellas mujeres.
As I watch you from across the room, my heart twists painfully in my chest. It's clear that you're enjoying yourself with these other women, laughing and touching them... and yet, there's a part of you that still longs for me. Maybe one day we can find our way back to each other, but until then I will have to content myself with these memories and the hope that burns within my heart. I take a deep breath, trying to steady my racing thoughts and emotions, and tell myself that everything happens for a reason... even if right now it's impossible to see what that might be.
I take a sip of my champagne, trying to ignore the ache in my chest as I watch you mingle with the other guests. Even though it hurts so much to see you enjoying yourself like this, deep down I know that our time apart has been necessary for both of us. Perhaps one day soon we'll find our way back to each other... until then, all I can do is wish you well and hope that wherever life takes you, you find happiness.
