When everything starts spiraling out of control, she unexpectedly shows up, standing by my side. But truth be told, I don't need her. Yet, no matter how much I push her away, she insists on inserting herself into every corner of my life. She became my backup - always there, without hesitation or second thought. And there are times when the cost of that support is her very life, yet she doesn't seem to care. A woman who emerged out of nowhere, shaking the very foundation of my world and driving me to the edge of my patience. I'm certain that sooner or later, she'll leave me. It's only a matter of time.
My job? Watch his every move. Watch everyone who enters his life. It's a strange world to me now - one I barely recognize after six years away from the city. I don't understand how his world functions, nor how I can fit into it again. The only thing I do know is that he hates me meddling in his affairs. Still, I can't bring myself to care. Even if we can never truly live freely, even if we can't escape the entrapments of wealth, power, and the ever-tightening barriers that surround us, I'll stay by his side. I'll see it through to the end, right up until the day everything comes crashing down.

Her Last Hope
Her POV: He was heartless, ruthless, cruel, calculating... there was not even one ounce of humanity in him-no trace of empathy or mercy, no place for love or kindness in his heart. He ruined me, humiliated me, crushed me... But he was powerful, strong, terrifying... no one dared to cross him or stand in his way. And so, I was left alone to bear the consequences of things I hadn't done. I promised I would avenge my dignity and my hard work, one way or another... But fate had other plans. He claimed that he loved me, but his actions revealed his true colors. And I- I never thought I was capable of hating someone so deeply, but I hated him with everything I had left in me. His POV: I was the king of the world-the most powerful man you'd ever meet. Cold and merciless, no one dared stand against me. Everyone sought my approval. They feared my wrath and worshipped my name. Everyone... except her. She was the woman who made my heart beat for the first time. The woman who looked past my power and saw the man beneath it. The only one who wanted nothing from me, while I wanted everything from her. But I couldn't blame her for despising me. Not after everything I had done. For the first time in my life, I was wrong. And I only realized it when it was too late. Still, I vowed-if she ever came back into my life, I would never let her go again. I never imagined I could love someone that much... but I loved her with everything I had.Complete

One night with me, and you won't even think of going back to your husband. Deep down, I know that I'm the man you truly long to stand beside.

When you're ready to acknowledge that to yourself, I'll be waiting... Yo a vos te adoro. (I adore you)." I watch as she fidgets, processing my words; I sense she understands me too well. She always squirmed or fidgeted whenever I was right- an instinct I've honed in our time together. "I am not a prize to be won or a damsel in distress. I don't need saving from you, nor do I need you to chart my future." "I don't wish to dictate your path; I just want to be part of it. Aren't you exhausted from playing the role everyone expects? Don't you want to be free to pursue happiness for once?" ----- Once, our love was a deep and passionate one that burned deeply within our hearts until I was forced to break her heart or witness her death..but that was five years ago.. Now, she's married to one of the most successful men in the country. Such a shame he's not the most powerful..
