Episode 5

Point of View of Alejandro

I am Alejandro Montenegro, a man who, at the age of thirty, had taken the global fashion market by storm. The family business was dedicated to the design and making of haute couture, and my life revolved around work and, occasionally, dating beautiful women. Although I have yet to meet "the one," I honestly begin to think that I never will. Most women approach me only for my money and status.

I have a younger sister, Daniela, a true headache. For her, nothing was more important than partying and getting into trouble. Today, for example, Maria, my housekeeper, called me. Just seeing her name on the screen prepared me for the usual disaster. Daniela had left the house with a friend—supposedly a friend I had never heard of before. My biggest concern was that someone was using her to get to us. I ordered my security team to track her down immediately.

Half an hour later, the report came in. My reckless sister had gone to Las Vegas. Definitely, this girl was going to make my nerves explode.

I decided to go personally to find her and teach her a lesson that would hopefully make her mature a little. I landed in that noisy city, and as I walked toward the exit, I ran into some acquaintances. They invited me to a nightclub where, coincidentally, my sister was. I went along with it. I could use the excuse that it was a "coincidence," that I wasn't chasing her.

As I entered, the thundering of electronic music hit my ears and resonated in my chest. We worked our way through the crowd to a VIP room overlooking the entire dance floor. The people accompanying me looked quite lively until one of them pointed to the center of the floor where two young women were dancing provocatively.

"Those women are very sexy"one of them commented with a lascivious grin.

"The one in red is on fire"the other added". I would take her to bed without hesitation. Look at those hip movements; she must be a lioness."

The comments drew my full attention to my sister's companion. My eyes sharpened as I watched her hips sway, her long black hair tied in a high ponytail, and that dress that fit her stunning figure perfectly. A knot of rage formed in my stomach.

"What do you say, buddy? Should we go over to them?" "they asked each other, keeping their eyes glued to the women."

Anger coursed through my skin. Instinctively, I turned my gaze toward them. —Don't even think about approaching them —I said with a coldness that chilled the atmosphere.

"You’re selfish; you want them only for yourself"they jeered.

Blood rushed to my head. I grabbed one of the guys by the collar of his shirt, squeezing tightly. —That’s my sister with her friend, and I won’t allow you to disrespect them —I warned him with my voice taut.

I let them go and left them in the room, ordering my men to take care of Daniela. These were exactly the types of situations I aimed to avoid, but my sister’s behavior always put her in danger. Those two guys were known for not taking "no" for an answer, and when they set their sights on someone, they didn’t stop until they took them to bed.

After leaving those two disgusting men, I headed to a private area where I would meet Daniela. Upon seeing me, her face flushed with anger.

"What are you doing here? Are you following me?" "she asked furiously."

"I came to have some fun, and by chance, I find a rather unpleasant scene"I lied. I knew that telling her the truth would only make her rebel more.

"You? The king of boredom came to a place like this to have fun? I’m not stupid, Alejandro; I know you came to ruin my night."

I walked calmly and sat in one of the chairs in the room, appearing at ease. —Stop talking nonsense. Better calm down; you’re under the influence of alcohol and might say hurtful things —I said, though impotence was gnawing at me inside.

Daniela couldn’t maintain her stability, so I made the decision to send her back to the hotel. I couldn’t leave her in such a pitiful state.

"I can’t leave; I have to find my friend"she said before collapsing, losing consciousness.

Seeing her like that, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of pity. I knew she wasn’t like this because of her own fault. Both my parents and I were responsible for her behavior. We were always focused on our jobs, traveling, and prioritizing our affairs over her. I instructed my security to discreetly remove her from that place. I couldn’t let anyone see her, much less take photos of her in that condition.

Once everything was in order, I personally went to find her friend. But as I was leaving the private room, a beautiful young woman with blue eyes and black hair bumped into me. She was a gorgeous and bold young lady who started flirting with me shamelessly; she was my sister’s friend.

Taking control of my actions, I decided to distance myself from temptation; she was Daniela’s friend, and that was a line I wasn’t willing to cross. I asked for her to be kept under surveillance and to let me know if anything happened. I left the nightclub heading to the hotel; I needed to rest after the difficult day I had. Upon arriving at the hotel, I went to find my room, and on the way, I encountered a rather unpleasant scene—a guy was trying to force a young woman to go to his room. I didn’t like to get involved in problems, but I couldn’t ignore such a vile act; as I approached and realized it was the same young woman who had been with Daniela, I clenched my fist in rage. Furious, I confronted the man, ordering my security to make him pay for his audacity. Once we were alone, the girl lost consciousness, falling into my arms. I knew it was a bad idea; however, for the first time, I ignored reason and allowed myself to be driven by impulse.
