"You may change your mind after knowing that you are the son of our distant relative, Archilles Lucca. But my conditions for you have not changed. I hope you're not as weak as Nastya."
Archilles Lucca talks to Salsa Diomanta at work, after dinner.
Mr. Maurizio and Mrs Nastya Lucca chose to return to the hotel with Zefanya. They will spend quality time during the Sunday before Zefanya is escorted back to Lucia's house. Madam Nastya wanted to take care of Zefanya's move on Monday, but Zefanya asked for time to think.
"We've got some programs three weeks ahead and I'm the class president. I will be accused of running from responsibility and failing to live the trust of my friends. After all, I will receive a charter of appreciation as an exemplary disciple. I can't miss that."
Mr. Maurizio and Mrs Nastya later agreed that Zefanya would be transferred at the beginning of the new school year.
"It's very sorry I said you were mistaken" argued Archilles Lucca. Although it was not until 48 hours with Nastya Lucca, Archilles was willing to bet Mrs Salsa Diomanta's opinion of her mother was completely wrong.
Salsa raised her face. Their views meet.
"Mrs Nastya Lucca is not weak, she is only meek. The attitude you should have especially to your Princess, Miss Arumi because Miss is in desperate need of soothing things from you."
Salsa Diomanta folds the hand then slightly knocks the middle of the forehead with the forefinger. The same comparison is often expressed by his own father so that he does not like Nastya Filipe at all.
"Lately you've been criticizing me, Archilles. The more courageous."
"I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable" said Archilles, who decided he was infected with Salsa's own attitude and self-introspection very quickly that he did not need to imitate the behavior. But couldn't get away from there after seeing how Miss Arumi wanted to get away from her mother's restraint.
"Miss needs shelter and you are the place. It shouldn't be me. But so far, that noble power is not in you."
"Archilles? I thought you wouldn't miss it."
"Miss Arumi really wanted me to take her running from you" said the Archilles again. "Then, what should I do, ma'am? If you and Mr. Chavez can't create a conducive atmosphere, then I will comply with Miss Arumi's request."
Salsa Diomanta thought deeply of the words of Archilles Lucca.
"alright. I'll try."
Archilles breathing relief.
"I won't forget the terms of marrying Miss Arumi that you have set. I'm done with my job, ma'am. Since I'm not obligated to report, I thought you might not want to know how things are going."
Archilles still wants to be with his parents, including asking for Lucia and Grandpa Zevas to be with them later. Not now, everything is still gray. Archilles had to do some work, including being a teacher.
Hope his parents don't mind considering how Lucia and Grandpa Zevas spent their long years raising and funding his education. Especially now that Archilles Lucca is not their grandson and is going to go to the real family, Archilles is sure, Lucia is sad at this time.
Nah!
He would take his grandparents wherever he went and guarantee their lives like his vows at the beginning, working hard to raise alimony money for Lucia and Grandpa Zevas.
In the next two days he will only focus on taking care of Arumi Chavez as another important thing. The girl was still upstairs with Mr. James Chavez who then opened up slightly after Mrs Salsa lowered her self-esteem. I don't know. These two men would be his in-laws and their attitude greatly disturbed Archilles.
"May I ask you?"
"I don't have to answer you, do I?"
Archilles Lucca held his breath. Mrs Salsa did not like her because she was the son of Mr. Maurizio Lucca. Remaining inferior to him tends to be hostile to him. Archilles doesn't understand what the problem is.
Is it because she loves Arumi Chavez so much, that Mrs Salsa takes advantage of her feelings?
"Everything was unintentional, Archilles," said Salsa, finally improving his speech after seeing the dark look of Archilles Lucca. It also published iba. "I'm looking for a foster family for you. There are three ideal families of our distant relatives, the Families of Rafael Henriques, Bernardo Rodrigo and Santiago Vincente. Then, I remember having a less fortunate relative named Nastya Filipe. He married Lord Maurizio Lucca of the City of Madrid. They lost their baby boy to a blood disorder. Your surname just happens to be the same. My job will be easier."
Breathe in.
"I called Mr. Maurizio and Nastya Lucca for help. The two were very excited and after negotiations came to an agreement. Until then I knew nothing. Purely only wants a foster family for you before marrying my daughter."
Archilles listens to whatever Lady Salsa explains.
"I don't like to owe you. Thank you for saving my daughter. Instead, I'm figuring out your origins. I met Raul Lucca. You know, finally, that guy doesn't recognize you as his son. He asked for money from me to exchange for you."
There is no debt for two people who love each other. Archilles Lucca has repeatedly claimed his love for Arumi Chavez. Not some kind of barter system. One will not understand that he is willing to die for his beloved.
"Can Raul Lucca know that I'm not his son." That question is disturbing. He needs to know the answer.
Raul's treatment of her is always bad. But, as far as belief as he is indeed very naughty and Raul is bored of him. In order for Archilles to go to school faster, Raul fakes the age of Archilles to be two years older.
"Yes. Even the woman you call Mom, is the designer of your best destiny."
"What do you mean, Madam?"
"Your mother just didn't think long when she hired the services of a nurse to steal you from Nastya and make an exchange. He compromised his crimes on Nastya Lucca without thinking of risk."
The Archilles Lucca m3nd3s4h. Martha Via wouldn't do that to her, cheat on her. Archilles was not easy to believe.
"My mom has no money. I mean, Martha Via doesn't have a lot of money especially for criminality. My mom couldn't have done that."
Salsa Diomanta raised her eyebrows high, denouncing the way Archilles believed the sincerity of her adoptive mother named Martha Via.
"It is a shame for your fate, Archilles Lucca," Salsa lamented. "Alfredo takes care of the documents find some possibilities. I was suspicious until I went to the hospital where you were born. I looked for the nurse and found her willing to testify if called. For the man who was always involved with so many high-class crimes back then, how could you not think of your origin? Just skip it."
"I still don't want to believe it until the second I talk to you. My mother loves me very much."
Archilles was very wounded. He can't think. Sometimes he has a strange desire. When his eyes closed, he imagined someone knocking on his bedroom door and that person was Martha Via. When Martha Via died, Archilles dreamed of joining Martha. He lost his only grip on life. If it wasn't for Zefanya, the end might have been tragic for her. He often misses Martha Via to be too sad to express. Zephaniah was the only one left behind Martha Via for him. It is sad that what Mrs Salsa Diomanta said is true.
"In fact Martha Via had enough money and a little jewelry at that time for a price deal with the corrupt nurse."
"That doesn't make sense. Why would Martha do that? What motive? She's a very kind and loving mother to me."
I am his precious prince. What the hell's going on? He became adrift.
Salsa Diomanta clucked once this is quite long. The Archilles skill in managing his work was not at all beneficial to recognize his own life. Perhaps because of the love someone professed "Mother" had blinded Archilles Lucca with pseudo affection. Maybe just camouflage covers up the real crime.
"The son of Martha Via Lucca was born with a blood cell disorder that has been passed down through generations. Martha may not be able to save her baby if she stays with him because treatment costs a lot of money. Martha was not ready to marry a man like Raul Lucca. I'm sure you know better. Destiny is very precise when Nastya Lucca also gives birth to a healthy son without blemishes. Martha hoped that her son would receive treatment from the wealthy family and be saved. Miraculously, your blood type and baby Martha Via are the same. Good luck to Martha Via. Lucky your Martha died Archilles. Just imagine what Nastya would do to her after finding out, your foster mother had changed her son's life."
Or had Martha Via lived, the truth about her would not have been revealed. He would never go to Grenny Lucia's house and meet Valerie. He won't be a criminal and meet Elgio Durante. He will not be a bodyguard and will be in charge of looking after Arumi Chavez. Will not fall in love with a young girl and know that she is not Martha's child. He'll probably graduate college, get a good job and marry Paula like he had a childhood dream.
Is this why Raul Lucca was always rude to Martha Via?
Very badly wounded, Archilles stood dazed. She believes Martha loves her very much. He's stuck up for a long time. Unconsciously she had let out tears as disappointment overflowed. It was very difficult to accept this fact especially his heart that was very sick. The door opened without knocking.
"Archilles ..., why so long?" Arumi Chavez asked slowly. Didn't want to point the finger at his mother but found Archilles Lucca to be the face. As quickly as possible use the back of the hand to remove the traces. Arumi lekas suspected.
"Archilles?!" call Arumi slowly. "What's going on?"
Archilles Lucca shook her head in fear that Miss Arumi would see her now and prejudiced Mrs Salsa. Immediately turned. He smiles but he is not a good actor.
"What did you do to her?" Arumi Chavez looked at Salsa who was now breathing rough because it was always wrong in Arumi's eyes. His daughter even began to suspect a no-no.
"Ask her, Arumi Chavez, did I hurt her?"
Salsa Diomanta came out of the room.
"Archilles ..., tell me what's going on?"
Arumi Chavez reached the Archilles, examining the man's face. The eyes of the almonds radiate sadness.
"Nothing, Miss."
"It's not a big deal, miss."
"Are you sad to find Madame Nastya?" arumi Chavez asked, knowing that Archilles loved his mother very much.
"Yes." Yeah."
"I'm sure God is with someone as good-natured as you, Archilles Lucca."
Salsa Diomanta closed the door of the room just as two people inside hugged.
Astounded.
Meet James Chavez up front. Standing at a certain distance, very close but difficult to reach.
"Do you want tea?" salsa asked, offering some kind of peace. She did not expect her husband to accept her because she did not know what they were going to talk about. It took me years to get back together, just a minute to fight.
James Chavez looked at him.
"Is there anything better than tea?"
"I don't drink alcohol." Salsa. It used to be a heavy p3c4ndu. After leaving James Chavez himself afraid of getting drunk and acting brutally against h4sr4t. At once stop all biological needs for men because Arumi Chavez does not want to consider it "dishonoring". Enough was what he did to Aruhi and the big impact was because of it. Partly also because his heart clearly could not find someone like Ebenn. Never will be. How to see Archilles Lucca have tormented him thousands of times.
Did he lose to Andreia Sanchez?
Not really!
He is only 35 years old and he is probably more the younger brother of Andreia Sanchez. The expensive treatment makes it look much younger than 35 years old. Her husband probably likes something simple. Bet a lot of beautiful women around James Chavez and this man can choose anywhere he wants. But it looks like James Chavez is interested in Andreia.
Should she come out into the world in an off shoulder dress in high-end clubs that contain young, wealthy, successful businessmen and important officials? He might pull one of them out for a date. Snorted. Just thinking about it makes him sick. However, she needs to try to see her husband's reaction.
"Let's have a drink. I have to leave because there is urgent business" James Chavez said.
Salsa Diomanta go to the kitchen, prepare two cups of ginseng tea and bring it to the terrace facing the backyard. The rain is starting to stop. The temperature is warmer after rain.
"If you don't mind, can I hitchhike?" salsa asked, put the cup down. When was the last time they were like this?
"Where?"
"Meeting a friend," he said.
A fella?
He has no friends. Marion Davis and Salsa Diomanta are friends. He had more than a dozen male partners since he was in the mafia organization until now running a business with his younger siblings, but none of them could be called friends. Most of them are colleagues to achieve mutual benefits. Even the world of socialites does not really exist as friends. They smile kindly at you but will peel your life to the bones. Full-falsity. The only thing that unites them is sparkling luxury.
Friends don't have any more dates? He's not interested in men.
James Chavez looked at him.
"Those nights?"
"It's not too late."
"There's a lot of bodyguards, I can have them drop you off."
"I'm just trusting my life to Alfredo Alvarez." Salsa sipped tea at James Chavez. It is not difficult to see Andreia will easily fall in love with her husband.
"All right." Agree because Alfredo has not returned from dropping off Mrs Andreia.
That's how he ended up sipping tea three times, Salsa went to the bedroom. Passing through the reading room, there was no sound from inside. Archilles will accompany Arumi. Finally resigned and believe Archilles Lucca had too good self-control in dealing with the wishes of his daughter. Moreover, Archilles knows the risks if crossed the line.
Slide the walk in closet luxury door and go to the dress section. He had never touched the dress of these models before and did not know why he bought it. Disgusting because she had to seduce her own husband.
Is love?
He doesn't know about that. He never fell in love properly after only with Ebenn. First love, monkey love and tragedy love. Being with James is really just a physical attraction. So, what does she want to keep her husband for? He has signed the file even though James has returned it for storage until March.
The prestige?
Might as well.
A loss?
He doesn't know. Choose one medium off shoulder dress black, wear a simple pearl necklace and dress thinly. Including the use of soft colored lipstick adds to the youthful impression. Let the hair be cut. Wearing a patterned net stocking that even when you see it your mind will wander everywhere. Lastly choose high heels from famous designers. Cut yourself in the mirror. Grabbing a gray coat.
Smile slightly. I wish Archilles and Arumi were still in the reading room so I didn't notice her performance.
Go to the front room. James Chavez is on the phone. Turns him. Shriveling. Salsa stepped up with a coat in hand. Put the clutch on the table and put on a coat in front of her husband.
He smiles. "Let's go!"
Button the last part and precede her husband.
"Is your friend a man?"
They're in a car splitting the night. Salsa checked her makeup on the glass repeatedly. Cynical in heart at that question.
"Yes." Yeah."
"What kind of man invites you to meet at night?"
"The man who has had a crush on me since four years ago. However, I'm just going to serve him tonight" said Salsa Diomanta, hoping such a man really exists. "My status will be clear in March. There is no harm in starting everything from now on."
James Chavez leads him to the basement parking lot of a hidden place called the Burqa Club'. Salsa Diomanta takes off the coat from the car. His shoulders were slightly glistened by the thinly-swept shimmering. Give me the s3nsu44l accent.
"I'll get Alfredo here."
"No need, Sir. I'll be with my friend tonight" Salsa said. Push the car door. The cleavage dress opens quite high in the thigh when it will go down. Lace at the end of James Chavez's fishing stocking to comment.
"Do you intend to tease your friend with your dress hemisphere?"
"Frightly so." Salsa smiled gracefully. In her heart she wanted her husband to go further. However, James Chavez may have been completely enamored of Andreia. He took slow breaths exhaling one by one. "See you, Mr. Chavez. Please come early for breakfast with your daughter."
"You're not coming home?" james Chavez asked narrowed unhappily.
"Maybe. I'll stay with him if invited."
"Your daughter is sick."
"That's why I asked you to come early and accompany your daughter in my place."
"Arumi may need you instead of me."
"Arumi is with his girlfriend. He won't realize his mother went missing last night. Besides, you'll be with him tomorrow morning, sir."
"Salice?!"
"Everybody's gonna start a new sheet and so am I." Salsa avenged her husband. "Good night, Mr. Chavez have a good night."
