“You can come up with that answer yourself, Antonella… What is it again that you keep calling me?”

“A cranky child?”

“A cranky child...”

“They told you not to do something, and that’s why you decided to do it?”

“It sounds like a good summary, but in my defense, I was determined it would be a farewell.” She laughs.

“At least that’s what you got…” she laughs, and I snort, “What? It’s the truth!”

“And I also got an absurd and totally meaningless imposition from the board, precisely because they thought I would never fulfill it...”

“And here we are...”

“And here we are!”

“And why didn’t you give in to their will? Why didn’t you just give up the job?”

“I know that promising my father that I would act like the heir that his legacy deserves and half an hour later being caught having sex with my secretary during office hours is not the best way to express that.”

“You did that?” she interrupts me.

“I’m not proud, but I did...” And, contrary to whatever rule it is that wives can’t have fun at the expense of their husband, once again, Antonella bursts out laughing.

“God, your poor father! He looks so amazing!”

“Thanks wife! Now I definitely feel much better!”

“Sorry...” She apologizes, but, moments later, she laughs again, making the word completely empty of meaning.That should piss me off, shouldn’t it?So why the fuck would I laugh with her at my own expense instead?

“Do you want to know the reason or not?” I bite her shoulder.She groans and rubs herself against me. Fuck, Antonella! “You’re not really a baby wife...” I grumble to myself, but obviously Antonella listens.

“What?”

“Nothing! Do you want to hear the reason or not?” I ignore it, but she, of course, won’t let me change the subject.

“What’s a baby wife, Marcos?” I turn my eyes away. Moments later, Antonella’s laughter sounds even more scandalous than before. “You have a problem with my age. Oh, my God!” And laughs non-stop.

“Let me know when you’re done...”

“For God’s sake, Marcos!It’s only ten years” she says, between laughs.

“You’re twenty-one.”

“Almost twenty-two.”

“And that’s still twenty-one.”

“You really shouldn’t have worried about that.”

“Don’t tell me. But when I thought you were sweet and innocent and only had a daughter because some asshole had tricked you, it was a little harder.Especially with you telling me you were in danger of falling in love with me.”

“Oh, yeah!This was the best moment of my short acting career.” I can’t believe this woman’s audacity.

“Don’t you feel even the slightest bit of regret?”

“For letting you believe what you wanted?Yes.Because I saw you get horny and I liked it? No!Firstly, because I was also suffering, and secondly, because although I do not think that your scoundrel history should sentence you to castration, as Grazi thinks, because, this would be a tremendous waste” she licks my lips “I am only human, and to see you suffer a little seemed fair to me.”
