Chapter 1
- Preface
- Eva looked at the echo with tears in her eyes in disbelief. She didn't know whether to cry from happiness or from pain at that moment.
- "Are you sure about what it says here?" she asked the doctor who was looking at her with a smile.
- "Yes, they are triplets." Confirmed the doctor and she froze.
- With the echo in her hand, still shocked, she walked out into the waiting room. Her best friend, Santino, sat impatiently waiting for her.
- "What did they tell you?" he asked impatiently.
- "I'm pregnant with triplets," Eva explained lowering her gaze.
- "Fuck Eva! Why didn't you take care, how did you go and get pregnant by your boss?" he exclaimed.
- ...
- Under the Florida skyscraper, to be exact, at the crack of dawn on a spring Monday, stands Evangelina getting ready to report for her first day of work. She looks at herself in the mirror with displeasure and begins to flatten her hair back, not leaving a single strand loose. Her long legs are covered by a hideous gray faded skirt; and her huge bust is covered by a black turtleneck sweater that leaves nothing uncovered. Her old-fashioned black heels make her look a little taller than she is, but, nevertheless, she still looks unpleasant to the eyes of any man who might approach and even from a distance you can notice her horrendous face and well that's because she wears old-fashioned glasses and the Braces, she no longer needs hide her beautiful teeth.
- He snorts heavily, he had just graduated from Systems Engineering, but no matter how hard he looked for a job according to his skills, the doors were closing. The excuses were clear; you have no experience or you are too ugly for the job.
- Until her best friend Santino got her an online interview at the most multimillionaire company in the country and even in the world, and she was immediately hired, but as executive secretary to CEO Demetrio Laureti, a young womanizer and seducer who has taken many women to bed, simply because of his high society and renown, in addition to his extravagant beauty.
- "Could it be that today I'm going to meet a man I can fall in love with?" she thinks as she grabs her dark brown purse and leaves her room.
- Eva, as everyone calls her, has longed to find her prince charming, that man who will manage to love her and drive her crazy, but as long as he does it for who she is, without wanting to change her, regardless of her physical appearance.
- She took a slice of plain bread for breakfast. She has been living alone since college, it has been very expensive, her parents live on the other side of the city, although sometimes they send her money to help with expenses. She has not wanted to worry them, however, there were nights where she ate so little, causing her to wake up the next day with a severe stomach ache.
- Her apartment is modest but warm. Eva loves carpets, so she has filled it with them wherever she can walk, she has only one room and the living room is shared with the kitchen, although it is small, she does not complain, since it is what she has to live on.
- She left her apartment in a hurry, even though there was more than an hour to go in, punctuality is Eva's greatest virtue, however, there are days where luck is not on her side. Her old car would not start and taking the bus was not an option, the company was at a very considerate distance and she would lose most of the time, so she started to check her car and after almost half an hour she managed to start it, without wasting any more time she headed towards Remadrobot Laureti, the largest applications company in the United States, originally from Italy and where its owner is a young heir.
- On the other side of the city, at the same time, Demetrio gets up heavily after turning off his alarm clock with a bang. The night before left him so tired he can't move, but his father has called his attention to him so many times for being late for work, so he decides to leave the two beautiful blondes he has in his bed to start getting ready.
- After a hot shower, he dresses so formal and elegant, being his personality, from the room with an extraordinary window and a majestic view of the city, to the high bed with cotton sheets where he rests every day.
- He opened the trunk and put on one of his many collection watches, adjusted his tie and without avoiding it he looks at himself in the mirror; yes, vanity was one of his qualities and he knows it, in any case, who wouldn't be like that having such attributes. His iris tiles make him look like a Greek God, and his blond hair makes him look more attractive than we can imagine, besides being quite tall, with a slim and toned figure, leaving a lot to the imagination.
- "Baby, go back to bed, yes." One of the girls gets up to try to convince him to stay with them, being a tempting option.
- Though he thought about it for a few seconds, he gave a half-smile, a very seductive smile, then replied with total arrogance.
- "Get dressed and pick up your friend, I'll tell one of my drivers to take them home." His words were so cold, that the girl came to imagine that the previous night was not entirely pleasurable for him, and to tell the truth, in a way it was, because to Demetrio no woman has ever made him reach a high degree of pleasure.
- The blonde protested, but Demetrius silenced her, leaving her alone and at a loss for words.
- He sat down at the table in the huge glass dining room with twelve seats, where every day only he ate. The table was filled with lots of fruit, cold milk, salads, toast and orange juice. After breakfast he looked at his watch to realize it was late and he must hurry.
- He was getting excited, his executive secretary, with whom he had been in a lover’s relationship for four years, has moved to another country and it's not that he didn't like Jennifer and was happy about it, it's just that he can't control the excitement he gets from having his new secretary in his bed, he knew she was beautiful, it was the major requirement he demanded from human resources managers for hiring his female staff.
- But, what Demetrio did not count on was that his father, tired of the gossip at work and of his son not settling down, had given the strict order that the woman to be hired to replace Jennifer should be not very attractive, as unattractive as possible.
- He got off the elevator in a hurry, the doors of the emblematic company must already be opening at that time and he did not want to be late, the minutes in the elevator of his building to get to the parking lot were eternal, besides, he was wasting time, as well as anyone else, debating which car he was going to use that day. He ended up choosing one at random and instructed Ramiro, his driver, to drive, as the hangover in his head from Sunday's drinks wouldn't let him concentrate on the road.
- As his driver waits at a stoplight and he schedules a meeting via a phone call, he noticed how the old, beat-up car next to him was carrying an unpleasant-looking woman.
- I would never be with such an ungraceful woman; he thinks as he looks at her with disgust.
- He overtakes the car and, in a few minutes, they are at the company.
- Evangelina, diverted her gaze from the front to the side next to her, managing to observe that the person next to her was making a bad gesture. She knows that her appearance is unpleasant for many men, however, she does not stop dreaming about the man who one day will look at her in a very special way.
- "With this man I would be willing to lose my virginity," she smiles as she blushes at her own boldness.
- When the Italian arrived at the company, the first thing he asked his friend Antonio, who is his co-worker, as well as the international manager of the company; is about the new secretary just hired, wanting to interview her right away and take the opportunity to give her the eye, at the same time to prepare the ground.
- "Has my new mistress arrived yet?" he smiles as she flips open Antonio's office.
- "No, not yet, I'm dying to meet her too, maybe the girl will fall in love with me before you," he wants to tease him, he knows Demetrio hates to lose a conquest.
- "Don't make me laugh, bro, we both know women prefer me," he winks as he leans back on the couch that sits in Antonio's huge office.
- While Demetrio might be the most beautiful man in that company or perhaps the entire city, Antonio was no slouch, his six foot six inches tall, plus his dark eyes gave him the intimidating touch that any woman would desire, plus he was a pretty athletic man, so much so that his pecs looked like they would pop out of his tight-fitting blue-aqua shirt he was wearing that morning.
- "Don't you believe it, bro," he places his hands on the table. "I heard over there that the new secretary is so beautiful that it's very hard to get her into bed," he muses sarcastically, as he has already seen the picture of the new employee, when he went to Human Resources earlier, and she is definitely not the Italian's taste
- "There's no woman who can resist my charms," he points out wryly.
- "I wouldn't be so sure," Antonio scoffs internally.
- "How much you want to bet that in less than a month I'll have her eating out of the palm of my hand and in my bed, bro?" the Italian smiles broadly, exposing his perfect teeth.
- "Let's bet you don't take her to bed." Antonio inquires amused, knowing that his friend upon seeing her was going to give up on that bet.
- "I'll give you my sports car if I lose, but if I win, you'll give me your watch collection," Demetrio indicated self-assured.
- "Okay, it's a deal," they shook hands and he left for his office, anxious to see his secretary.
- Eva arrived at her new job, she was very surprised by the huge building where she was going to work; it was a building with more than one hundred and fifty floors; besides, it had an internal park and a private parking lot where she parked her old car.
- She went out almost running to the offices, when she arrived an employee who was at the reception desk attended her while she looked at her strangely.
- "Hello, how can I help you?" she smiled trying not to show her surprise as she looked at her.
- Eva didn't flinch, she was used to being teased and attacked about her physique since she was a child, so she greeted her in a good-natured way.
- "Hello, I am the new secretary of Mr. Demetrio, tell me which is your office to place me at your orders," she answered kindly.
- "Are you the boss's secretary?" the red-haired woman could not help but open her mouth wide in surprise.
- All the female employees of that company were of genuine and slender figure, as well as fine and beautiful face. And to look at her and know that she was the Italian's secretary was something very surprising.
- "Yes, it's me, I looked, I got this mail a few days ago, today I must attend my first day of work."
- "Are you Evangelina Anderson?" the receptionist looked in her notebook, as she had been waiting for her for a few minutes.
- "Yes, that's me," she smiled kindly as she arranged her glasses.
- "Ok, sorry if I have inconvenienced you," she indicated sincerely. "Sir's office is on the one hundred and forty-fifth floor."
- "Thank you," Eva replied to walk away.
- She looked for the elevator with her eyes, one said private and the other public, so she took without thinking about it the public one, it seemed to her that the company was very large, plus it was also extremely luxurious. There were endless rooms, plus you could see the sky, it had no walls and instead of them there were semi-dark glass, and only the elevator was closed.
- When he arrived at the indicated floor there were three boxes with secretaries in each one of them. He asked the one closest to him and although the girl was surprised to see her, she announced to Demetrio, who was immediately excited and looked seriously from his window at some pigeons passing by.
- Come in, Miss Evangelina, the boss has been waiting for more than half an hour.
- Eva walked nervously, although she was confident in her abilities and intellectuality, she could not help but feel nervous on her first day of work.
- When she entered the office, Demetrio turned around smiling, but his smile was erased from his angelic face when he looked at the young woman in front of him.
