Discovering Aphrodite
After this, the girl who was with Ava left the apartment. Ava sat astride Mateo and kissed him. He was eager, unable to touch her in the state of arousal he was in, it was too much for him.
Ava stood up and released her restraints. He immediately stood up and hugged her. She kissed his earlobe and spoke to him in a sensual voice.
“Buon compleanno amore.”
He smiled, with that crooked and sexy smile that melted anyone, ready to enjoy his big surprise.
In the morning, they woke up tired and hungry. They stayed in bed for a while, embracing each other and enjoying each other’s company.
Mateo had a heavy conscience. For a moment, he had doubted her, and that made him feel terrible.
“Thank you for the surprise. I want to apologize for doubting you for a moment,” he said.
“Haha, even I would have doubted. Tadeo gave me the girl’s number and asked her to show me a bit of what she does. He wanted to surprise you,” she replied.
“And you’ve certainly succeeded, my beauty. You drove me crazy with the way you moved. When I saw you in lace lingerie with just a trench coat over it, I thought you were going to surprise me at the office. Then, I had doubts and decided to follow you.”
“Haha, I knew you would be suspicious and follow me. That’s why I dressed up to make sure you saw me, so I would plant doubt in you.”
“You’re wicked, you made me suffer terribly. By the way, Akiro called me a few days ago. He’s hosting an event at his club. Would you like to go? I thought about refusing, but he insisted that we attend.”
“Of course, I’d love to. Akiro’s events are usually interesting.”
“It’s next Saturday, and it has an intriguing theme. I’ll request your dress if you’re okay with that. I want it to be a surprise.”
“Hmm, I like surprises, and I’ve noticed that you do too. How about we prepare a delicious breakfast after we shower?”
Mateo kissed her. He planned to ask her to be his partner for life, but he wanted to do it in a special way. He would wait until they exposed Teodoro so she could be at ease, and they would finally start a family together with their son.
Teodoro was growing desperate. Grecia hadn’t agreed to see him again and always made excuses. He thought she might be avoiding him, wondering if that girl was trying to play games with him. If she was, she would regret it; nobody made a fool out of Teodoro Miller.
His lover noticed him becoming more distant due to his constant bad mood. She had decided to move to another bedroom to punish him, but she realized it didn’t bother him at all. They had kept the flame of passion alive, even though she knew he slept with others. She allowed it because he always came back to her. This time, she was worried because Teodoro was acting very differently.
At the Miller Corporation, the head of cybersecurity informed Teodoro that he had blocked several unauthorized attempts to access confidential information. Someone was trying to breach the system, putting the company’s security at risk.
As he always did whenever something bothered him, he reacted by mistreating his employees. He had hired a famous German hacker who would arrive in a few days. He needed to find out who was trying to harm him.
Akiro continued attempting to access the Miller Corporation’s system, but he hadn’t achieved satisfactory results yet. He needed to do it soon because his attempts had been detected, and it was logical to assume that drastic measures would be taken to prevent intrusion into their systems.
Tadeo was trying to win Aphrodite’s love. He was tired of one-night stands, and this girl had gradually entered his heart and thoughts. He eagerly awaited the weekend to see her.
Camila didn’t accept his attempts to see her elsewhere. She wanted a normal date, maybe a trip to the movies or a candlelit dinner, all the things he knew girls liked to do. However, she was definitely not like any other girl. He was tempted to wait for her outside the Licciardi Corporation, but that could cause problems with his boss.
He imagined a life with her, just as he had imagined it with Ava for so many years. Now, those dark-haired, gray-eyed children he had wanted to have with Ava had turned into adorable little ones with big green eyes and cute freckles adorning their faces. He let out a deep sigh and picked up the phone to call her.
“Hello, Aphrodite.”
“Hello, Tadeo.”
“I can’t wait for the weekend to see you, beautiful.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to make it this weekend. I have a work commitment elsewhere.”
“Tell me where it will be, and I’ll find you there.”
“I’d prefer we meet next week,” she replied curtly.
“Okay, as you wish,” he said, hanging up while a look of profound disappointment crossed his face.
On Friday morning, Ava received some boxes sent by Mateo. She had stayed at the penthouse while he was at the corporation. She opened the largest box and found a beautiful emerald green dress with beige details. The sleeves had lace embroidered ruffles.
In another box, there were beige lace-up ankle boots, very characteristic of the era. Beneath the dress, she found a matching emerald green mask. She wanted to know what Mateo’s costume would be, so she thought about calling him.
“Soon.”
“Ciao amore, I’ve received the dress.”
“Did you like it? -He asked curiously.”
“It’s beautiful, but I would like to know, what will your costume be?”
“Curious amore, but you won’t find out until the day of the event.”
“Uhmmm okay, I can wait.”
“See you tonight. I won’t be able to come home early today; I have an important meeting with Akiro.”
“OK, I’ll wait for you for dinner together. Get something ready.”
Ava decided to invite the redhead to lunch. She liked the girl very much, and what she had with Mateo was in the past.
She spent the entire afternoon with her. After having lunch, they went shopping. The girl still worked with Akiro, so she would also be at the club on the night of the event. She mentioned that she wouldn’t be doing the main show that day; it would be done by a girl known as Aphrodite.
The day of the event had arrived. Ava put on the dress chosen by Mateo. She left her hair down with waves at the end and wore a tiara. He thought she looked wonderful and approached her, placing a pearl necklace around her neck, a design made especially for her.
He wore a Louis XVI-style suit in ivory with gold. Ava couldn’t help but laugh; he looked very handsome, but she found it amusing that he was wearing those knee-length pants with a mesh of the same color underneath. He put on a white wig to match the era and a golden mask, completing his outfit with a cane just like the king used.
“We’ll be Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. How do I look?”
“Allow me to say, Your Majesty, that you look very handsome,” she curtsied at the end.
“You honor me, beautiful lady, but I am Louis XVI without the famous seven years, ha, ha, ha.”
“Ha, ha, ha, the famous seven years will always accompany you in history.”
They arrived at the event, and everyone was dressed in the same theme. When they got out of the car, they didn’t realize they were being watched from the moment they left the penthouse. Teodoro Miller clenched his fists; Ava didn’t have time for him, but she had time for these kinds of games with Licciardi.
He was known in the industry for his sadism, and the girls who knew how he operated avoided him. So, it was very difficult for him to find any playmates other than his lover.
As Ava and Mateo usually did, they took a table near the dance floor. Akiro and Ima came over to socialize with them for a while. Akiro and Mateo went to the bar to order drinks. On the dance floor, a girl with black hair and a black mask began her performance. Just like when Afrodita started to move, people who watched her fell under her spell.
Akiro and Mateo returned to the table and settled in to watch the show. The girl approached their table, dancing sensually nearby.
At another table, Tadeo immediately recognized the girl despite the mask. That hair and the way she moved were unmistakable. He was sure she had recognized him too, as she briefly fixed her gaze on him before choosing to dance near another table. He had recognized Akiro, so the one with the white wig and the blonde girl had to be Mateo and Ava.
Before finishing her act, Afrodita began to dance for Mateo. He felt uncomfortable, knowing that Ava might be upset about this.
When the girl leaned down, bringing her face close to his, her mask slipped to the side. Mateo was surprised. Ava immediately got up and headed for the exit, thinking that Mateo already knew who the girl was. Mateo pushed Afrodita aside and followed Ava.
Afrodita turned around to finish her number and head to her dressing room. She thought Tadeo would arrive at any moment, but it didn’t happen. She tried calling him, but he didn’t answer. When she sent him a message, she realized that the guy had blocked her.
