His brother

32. Chapter

Seville, Spain
July

On the one hand, I was glad to see him, but on the other hand, I had a lot of questions that he was almost unable to answer. I was sorry that he lost a close person, that's why I didn't put any pressure on him. I'm sure he had plenty now.

Maximiliano informed me a little about the story, but I'm sure he was avoiding the whole truth. I learned that very dangerous people are after him who can hurt me.

"You can't stay here," he said and I pulled away from him.

"What do you mean?" I narrowed my eyes and he sighed loudly.

"You don't belong in my life, Shannon. I've made a lot of mistakes in the past that are catching up with me now and I can't watch if anything happens to you." I nodded cautiously, though I disagreed with him.

"So, what now? Shall we end it?" I asked and he nodded.

"My plane will take you to Dallas. My best man will come with you to protect you." I looked at him in disbelief. I waited for him to say it was a joke, but he meant it because he got up from the bed and started to get dressed.

"How can you be so selfish!" I jumped out of bed and pushed him. "After I surrendered to you! After everything you know about me, you cut me out of your life like I was nothing but air." !" I shook my head and stepped away from him. He wanted to touch me, but I violently pushed his hands away. "Don't catch me! We can go in half an hour!" I left him standing there and I went to the bathroom, where I locked myself. Just in case he changed his mind.

I ran cold water over myself and scrubbed my body to wash away his touches and hot kisses.

I couldn't believe he actually did it. Maximiliano warned me that it could happen and that it would be one of the solutions, but I wanted to believe that...

What, Shannon?

I never meant more to him than a woman to fuck. I was naive if I could think more. Although he never showed me more affection and neither did I, but I thought he was fine with me.

He changed my life and gave me back a kind of spark that someone had taken from me a long time ago and William knew it. I found it in his papers, although I was surprised where he got it from.

I ran my hand over my wet face and sighed softly.

I rinsed my body and put on the bathrobe that was hung next to the shower. I unlocked the door and went into the room, where I put on clean clothes from Vanessa. I turned to the strewn bed and smiled sadly.

Even a shower couldn't erase the thoughts of the event from a few hours ago. When he sneaked into my room I was surprised, but then when he kissed me all the bad feelings disappeared.

"Sleep sweetly" were the last words I heard as someone covered my mouth with a napkin and I fell into pitch black darkness.
