One Year to Part: Passion and Deception
Chapter 3

Chapter 3:.

Hugo saw the woman leave in a hurry and his face darkened. He got out of bed and went to his clothes scattered on the floor of the room, picked up his cell phone and saw many missed calls from his secretary and messages asking him where he was.

He dialed his number and at the first ring Alejandro answered the call.

“Sir are you ok, where are you?

“Shut up useless” shouted Hugo in anger “I have a headache, bring me a pill, clean clothes. I’m in a hotel room” he went out the door wrapped in the sheet and looked at the room number “room 420, hurry up I have something to do”.

Ten minutes later Alejandro knocked on the room door with breakfast for Hugo, a freshly pressed suit and the hangover pill.

“Find out what happened yesterday, I’m sure I didn’t drink, so I must have been drugged.” ordered Hugo.

“Yes sir.”

“And replace out who the woman was that I know was staying in this room.”

“Sir do you want to see her again?”

“I want to know who that unfaithful woman is, capable of cheating on her husband and making me break one of my golden rules.”

Alejandro understood immediately, his boss could sleep with many women, there were only three types he would not approach, first of all under age, secondly, his friends’ partners and lastly married women. Hugo hated unfaithful women and cheating on their husbands, the irony of the situation was that he was also married, and he didn’t mind being unfaithful to his wife every day.

Alejandro made some calls while Hugo was taking a bath and when he came out of the bathroom he had the answers for him.

“Señor Felipe set you up, they found traces of an aphrodisiac in your food yesterday and they searched the room where you were supposed to go to rest and found hidden cameras, apparently it was all planned to blackmail you and force you to accept the deal.”

Hugo’s handsome face darkened and then he asked.

“What about the girl, was she also part of the plan?

“No sir, Philip had hired a prostitute, but when he went to the room you weren’t there.”

“Then who is the girl?”

“I still don’t know sir, the room was in the name of a university student, but she was not the only one, there were 10 other rooms in that name, it seems that classmates from one class came to celebrate and stayed the hotel. I still have no information about the girl.”

“Okay, you can leave now, I’ll go out and we’ll go to the company”.

Alejandro obeyed and left the room, while Hugo stood watching the bed, he didn’t remember much of what had happened the night before, but his body did remember the sanction of having her under him and all that it made him feel.

He reached over to the bed to grab his watch that was on the nightstand and saw a small blood stain. He remembered then the moment he penetrated her it felt very tight and she winced in pain, but he thought nothing of it and letting himself be carried away by the moment he had her mercilessly.

For a moment he pitied the poor girl and regretted not having been more gentle, but when he remembered that she was married he put those silly feelings aside.

“Married” he muttered to himself “how can a married woman be a virgin. What kind of stupid man would not comply in bed with such a beautiful woman?”

He walked out of the Hotel room and took one last look at the bed. He smiled remembering the look on the girl’s face when she woke up and couldn’t help but wish he could see her again.

Sara after rushing out of the room finished dressing in the hallway and in her haste didn’t notice she was photographed half dressed.

She took a cab and went to her room at the University Campus. Her roommate smiled at the sight of her, but when she noticed her condition she immediately became alarmed.

“Are you okay Sara?”

“No, no, no, no, no, no, I’m not okay, I’m screwed Emily, I’m completely screwed.” she muttered as she paced back and forth and wings.

“I made a terrible mistake last night, I think I got drunk and slept with someone.

This is bad, this is really bad.

“Calm down Sara, these things happen, you won’t be the first or the last woman in the world to have a one night stand.” her friend tried to calm her down.

“But I can’t Emily, I’m not supposed to do those things” and then in a muffled voice she added “I’m married.”

“What?” Emily watched her for some sign that what she was saying was a joke, but couldn’t replace it.

“And not just married, I signed a clause that says I can’t be unfaithful or I have to pay 100 million euros.”

“But you are completely crazy, how are you going to do something like that. And how are you going to be married, I’ve known you for 3 years and the only man I’ve seen you around is Tobias.”

“That’s something I can’t tell you, that’s why I didn’t say anything, I don’t even know my husband.”

Emily got out of bed, opened the fridge and took out a bottle with water.

“Here, have a drink, you need to calm down, did anyone see you last night, any acquaintances that might give you away?”

“I don’t think so, I don’t know, I don’t remember hardly anything. I just know I woke up today and there was a man next to me.”

Sara drank the whole bottle and plopped down on the bunk.

“I’m completely fucked if anyone knows about this. I hope no one saw me.”

“I think it’s a little late to wish that.”

Emily held out her cell phone to Sara and showed her a notice on the University forum.

The number 1 student in the Business Management Class had a passionate night out and was seen leaving the Hotel this morning half-naked.
