t to parade with the girl in front of Yuri. I would never give him the pleasure of knowing that we share the same whore. I turned off the lights in the room and threw myself on the mattress

me of my mother. - Let's go. - Although? - She repeated, confused. - I thought the contract was until Sunday. "I changed my mind," I said, closing the glass doors behind me. - And what about tomorrow's event, sir? I provided an even finer dress for... - Don't worry.
