One Year to Part: Passion and Deception
Chapter 87

Chapter 87:

After two long years, Sara was seeing the fruits of her hard work, she was recognized by the media, she enjoyed fame, she lived in the penthouse of the highest and most expensive building in the city, but somehow she continued to feel unsatisfied.

The time away from Hugo had only served to confirm her feelings for him, she missed his touch, his warmth in bed, his smile and even watching him sleep.

When Jose confessed his feelings to her, she made a decision, she would make one last attempt to get her marriage back and if it didn’t work then she would try to give herself the chance to love someone else.

Her plan had already been set in motion, her life and Hugo’s would soon be back together for work reasons, if she had made him fall in love with her once, she could do it twice, she was sure she would succeed.

The alarm of her alarm clock interrupted her thoughts, it was 5 am and her daily routine had to start. She opened her eyes and the darkness of the room prevented her from seeing anything, she took the remote control she had left on her bedside table and turned on some dim lights, at the same time the curtains were drawn and the lights of the city filtered into her bedroom and that was just what Sara loved most about this apartment, having the opportunity to see how the city woke up, the first rays of the sun and the busy life that moved at her feet.

She got out of bed with dexterity, even though she had barely rested a couple of hours, those had been enough to renew her energy, her feet felt the soft carpet, a gift from José when he bought the place, he said it was the best to not feel the cold floor when she woke up.

Sara accepted it with pleasure, she didn’t want to contradict her friend, but the floor of the room regulated the temperature according to her body heat, just like the rest of the house. Her way was straight to the bathroom, where she took a short shower, when she came out she brushed her teeth and hair, she observed her figure in the bathroom mirror and saw that some dark marks were beginning to form under her eyes, she should rest a little more, for sure Nadia would scold her today, she didn’t give more thought to that, she put on a pullover, leggings, her running shoes and started her morning run.

An hour later she returned to the apartment, took another bath and sat on the balcony to watch the sunrise while drinking a cup of coffee, today was an important day and she was anxious to see Hugo again.

Nadia woke up at 6 o’clock, like every morning, it was hard to open her eyes and control her limbs, with a little effort she managed to raise her hand and turn off the alarm clock, her head was spinning a little, the drink she had had with Alejandro had become two and then three and in the end she couldn’t remember how much she had drunk, definitely being a spy was not her strong point, at least neither was Alejandro’s and in their drunkenness both had confessed that their bosses had asked them to approach to get information from their spouse.

The assistants laughed at the situation, but ended up agreeing to share information and do what they could to get the couple back together, after all if their bosses were happy, their life would be easier and maybe a little less work.

When Nadia managed to stand up and checked her cell phone, she discovered a message from a contact she didn’t remember saving.

Fellow spy had sent her a pdf document and a simple header sentence. I hope you put it to good use and make our lives easier.

Nadia didn’t understand anything, but when she opened the document she saw that it was President Moretti’s personal agenda, his entire schedule for that week was in that document.

Nadia squeezed her eyes again and again to make sure she was wide awake, then her phone notified another message.

Fellow spy

I hope your hangover is not too bad, make sure you have some breakfast so it doesn’t get worse. Have a profitable day at work my fellow spy.

Nadia started the day with a smile on her face, maybe from now on her work would not be so difficult, now she had a partner to share the burdens and the complaints.

That morning Hugo woke up with a terrible feeling, someone was planning something against him and he was almost sure it had to do with Sara, he had not been able to rest all night, he could not stop thinking about her and what it meant to meet her again.

He didn’t know what to feel or what to think, it was true that he was the one who had made the decision to walk away from her, when he knew that she didn’t want to have children with him, he felt used, but after she gave him back the shares despite winning the bet, he felt he didn’t know her so well after all, also seeing her face through the screen for two years made him wonder what would have happened if they continued together.

It was true that she was still beautiful, it was something he could not deny, but her unbearable personality remained unchanged. After considering the situation for a few hours he made the decision to stay away from her and keep a healthy distance, it took him two years to stop feeling something for her, or at least he thought so, so the best thing to do was to stay away from her.

Without thinking about it Hugo got out of bed and walked to his office, opened the right drawer of his desk and took out a document, read it twice, sighed and finally signed it.

It was time to leave the past behind and move on, he put the document with the rest that he had to give to Alejandro and waited for his secretary to take care of the rest of the paperwork, from that moment on he and Sara had nothing to do, he took a last look at the divorce agreement and sighed, it was time to say goodbye to Sara.
