One Year to Part: Passion and Deception
Chapter 67

Chapter 67:.

The next few days Hugo set out to conquer his wife, he spent much of his time surfing the Internet to learn about women’s tastes.

Hugo felt overwhelmed, he had never in his life been in the need to seduce a woman, it was always them who approached him, so he did not know how to do it, he sent her a car identical to the one she had bought, but Sara sent it back to him and sent him a note that said.

Thank you for the gift Mr. Moretti, but I think I prefer to drive from now on in less flashy and armored cars, lest the next attempt on my life turns out to be a bullet. Please control your lovers.

In spite of Sara’s refusal, Hugo was not discouraged, every morning a bouquet of flowers was sent to the restaurant for Sara and every day the flowers were thrown in the trash.

Hugo started to send her messages at all hours, asking her about her rest, if she had eaten, how her day was going and anything to get involved in her life, instead Sara ignored all his messages, until she got tired of his phone ringing and blocked Hugo’s number.

He was starting to get desperate and decided to seek help. It didn’t take him long to replace out where Emily lived and at nine in the morning he knocked on her door.

Emily was still asleep when she felt the doorbell ring countless times, she got out of bed still in her nightclothes and opened the door, she expected to meet anyone except the man who stood before her at that moment, Hugo was wearing an expensive branded suit that made him look handsome and charming, his hair was messy and he looked tired.

Emily thought she had too much work to do, but the next words that came out of Hugo’s mouth made her understand what was really going on.

“I need to conquer Sara.”

Emily didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and simply opened the door inviting him in. After he settled on the couch she went into her room and changed her clothes, she couldn’t attend to her friend’s husband in those clothes.

“Mr. Moretti, I hope you understand that I am not a love shaman, nor marriage agency to be able to help you.”

“But you know her well, you know the things she likes, you could help me.”

“Mr. Moretti I don’t know why I should agree to help you, after all you have done my friend a lot of harm.”

Actually Emily was delighted to hear that Hugo wanted to conquer Sara, she had seen him up close the time Sara was in coma and she knew that he actually had feelings for her. But despite that Emily didn’t want to make things too easy for him either.

“You don’t have to trust me, but if you want the best for your friend you should know that the best is me and nowhere else will she get a better man than me.”

“Mr. Moretti your humility surprises me, but in reward for taking care of Sara when she was sick I’m going to give you a piece of advice, all women like to be pampered, they like luxuries, and Sara is no exception, she may not be interested, but she is still a woman.”

“So, should I give her jewelry, branded items, gold?”

Emily ran her hand over her face and sighed in frustration, how could a man so business savvy be so clumsy about other things.

“It’s not the price of the gift, it’s the gesture, it’s not sending jewelry, it’s putting it around her neck and saying nice things in her ear, it’s not sending her a designer, it’s accompanying her shopping and telling her she looks beautiful. Women love the little details and those are the things we remember, you Mr. Moretti should make her forget many horrible things you have done to her and for that you need to create memorable memories, fill her with pampering so that she does not think about the bad things you once did.

And he should hurry because there are other people who know how wonderful Sara is and will not hesitate to try to win her heart.”

Emily didn’t have to say a name, Hugo knew she was talking about the snake, that damned Jose that was haunting his wife.

“Thank you Miss Esposito, though I will soon have to call you Mrs. Bianchi.”

“I prefer Emily” she rectified sharply, she would never accept to be called Bianchi no matter how important that last name was.

Hugo smiled at her and stood up as he was about to leave Emily called out to him.

“Mr. Moretti, if you hurt Sara I promise you that I will help you disappear her body after she kills you.”

Hugo smiled even though inside he knew that threat was not empty, before he walked back Emily spoke again.

“Next week is Sara’s birthday. It should be a good opportunity to get close to her.”

Hugo smiled at her and thanked her, it looked like he had just found a good ally.

Hugo kept walking and Emily trailed behind to close the door, but when they opened the door they discovered the man in the doorway, holding a bouquet of flowers ready to knock on the door.

Martin had his hand raised and his fist clenched ready to knock with his knuckles on his fiancée’s door, but he didn’t imagine that just at that moment the door would open and his best friend would come out looking like he hadn’t slept a wink and his fiancée would be behind, disheveled and just woken up.

Martin didn’t think much about it, he didn’t even analyze the situation, he could only think of the things that could happen while they were alone, a womanizing man like Hugo and a young and beautiful woman like Emily.

Martin raised his fist and hit Hugo hard in the face.

“You fucking bastard, how dare you.”
