Maria Lua had the life any woman could dream of: beautiful, rich and with a perfect family. But behind the lucky, angel-faced girl hid a rebellious girl, who ran away from her past and aimed to be happy and do whatever she wanted, especially when it came to men. Immersed in the world of CEOs since she was born, her life was always linked to men who wore suits. And it was up to her to take off every piece of clothing that surrounded them, starting with the ties, taking advantage of the beautiful bodies that crossed her path, the owners and heirs of the biggest companies in Noriah Norte. What she didn't expect was to be involved in a major scandal on the day of her engagement, set up by someone inside her own home. Willing to turn things around, since nothing could shake her and all she wanted was to show herself to be a strong woman, Malu didn't expect the second fall, now to destroy her completely. Having to leave her own home, and forced to mature and take responsibility, leaving her life of drinking and one-night stands behind her, she now had to choose which path to take: recovering her fiancรฉ, moving on with her lover or fighting for her true love. What Maria Lua didn't expect was that in the midst of all her doubts, immersed in a world of business, blackmail, theft and unethical behavior, a new man would cross her path. Would he be her redemption? Or would he be willing to destroy her heart completely, as she has done all her life with men? Everything could be uncertain and catastrophic in Maria Lua Casanova's life, except for the men in suits... These were always her temptation.
As I looked at my clothes on the bed, I thought about how long it took me to make the decision to accept Robin's proposal, which was not Hood but Giordano.
I knew it was time to turn my life around and do something different from what everyone expected of me, which was not to accept the engagement. For this reason I accepted. I had been dating Robin for almost a year and I could be capable of a serious relationship with someone, since I was already 24 years old.
I heard a light knock on the door, which opened soon after. Bรกrbara Novaes Casanova was the kind of woman who took over any environment when she arrived. And that was inherent in her. The bright red, tight, long dress with a huge slit that showed off her beautiful left leg was absolutely seductive.
- 'Is it your intention tonight to kill Heitor Casanova? - I watched her from head to toe, not holding back my laughter.
- 'I kill him every day, believe me! - She smiled, throwing herself on my bed.
I took off my white robe, already with the lingerie underneath and lifted my clothes.
- 'I didn't think you were going to wear this outfit,' Barbara said, sitting down on the bed.
I looked at the lacy black dress, practically transparent, the part of the panties with the lace threads more intertwined, giving the idea of another fabric. The black leather jacket, with a silver buckled belt, totally modern and stripped, was part of the look, which would be completed with the boots I bought on the last vacation trip and had not yet worn.
- Did you think it was bad? - I worried about her opinion.
- No, I just thought it was different. In other words, it looks like you.
I smiled, satisfied with what she said.
I put on the dress, which was difficult to adjust to my body because it had no zipper or buttons. Babi helped me, pulling it on carefully. The sleeves were long and transparent, with leather cuffs. As soon as I put on the jacket, I pulled up the sleeves, leaving the sleeves of the dress showing.
- It's beautiful! - Babi exclaimed, as she was already removing the bob's from my hair, which was starting to fall in big curls.
When she removed the last one, I ran my fingers through the blonde strands, opening the curls, leaving the hair less straight and more voluminous.
- It's no use, Malu, you still look like my baby. - She hugged me.
I started laughing. Babi said that all the time, that although I was 24, I looked like a 17-year-old girl. I wasn't sure if that was good or bad for me. Especially because when I looked at my image in the mirror, I saw a grown woman, full of things to do, even though time passed so quickly.
- Is Theo coming? Or will he arrive after the party is over? - I asked.
- Your brother is already here.
- Already? - I smiled. - I've been missing him so much. I thought you'd come up to see me.
- I've crushed him as much as I can. But don't worry, I've left a little piece for you. And of course your father hasn't let go of him yet.
- Poor Theo... He thought moving to another country would make him independent.
- And he is. Which doesn't change the fact that Thor calls him every day.
- He... He came alone?
- Yes.
- What about this girlfriend?
- Honestly, I don't know. And I don't want to know.
- Mother's jealousy? - I started to laugh.
- Aren't you? It's our little Theo. What do you mean a girl is sleeping with him?
- Ew... I'm disgusted! - I made a face.
- Now try to get downstairs. There are a lot of people downstairs waiting for the bride.
I took a deep breath and went to the dressing table, taking a red lipstick and quickly applying it to my lips. I had done my makeup, hair and nails that afternoon, but I didn't like the nude lipstick they used. Red on the lips was my trademark and I couldn't not wear it on my engagement day.
- You look beautiful... Perfect.
- It must be your genes," I quipped.
- Your mother was beautiful.
- I know. But you're more. - I cut the subject, heading for the door.
Before my hand reached the golden knob, Babi grabbed it and pulled me in, making me face her.
- 'Are you sure this is what you want?
- Yes, I'm sure. Besides, it's just an engagement. That doesn't mean I'm going to be with him forever.
- Who makes an engagement thinking it's not going to be forever?
- The idea is to be forever, Mom. But if one day I think it's not good, I'll tell him to fuck off and that's it.
She smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek:
- I love you, daughter.
- I love you, Mom. And don't worry, I wouldn't make a commitment to Robin if I wasn't sure that's what I want.
I opened the door to find Ester standing there. She looked beautiful in a tight emerald green dress that showed off her bones. The sweetheart neckline made her silicone breasts practically pop out.
- I can't believe you haven't dressed up yet, Malu! - She looked at me, confused.
- Actually, I'm ready! - I smiled debauchedly.
