Chapter 201

• He would love for her to enjoy the benefits of being with a rich man like him. That could put the relationship in a comfortable scheme that he could handle without regrets. Damn it! Why couldn't he take things lightly, like his father or Kaleb? Why did he have to complicate and analyze every step he took? It didn't happen with business or relationships with his peers, that was the terrain he dealt with best. But when things moved into the personal realm, when they got a little closer to his essence, he became a damn freak, sensitive and fearful. "Fear," he thought with disgust. There was always fear. Fear of losing ground, of taking a wrong step that would lead him down the path his father had traveled without complexities.
• That path that had turned him into a cold and materialistic being, taking everything from others, hurting and believing that money could solve any mess or lack. He sighed. His worst"case scenario, becoming a sexist and emotionless pig towards his surroundings, family included, was not something close, he had to calm down. He punished himself too much: he loved his own, he cared. He avoided hurting the women he liked.
• The truth is that none had moved him like Regina did, despite having nothing in common. She was a sweet woman and a lover with little experience, but eager to please him. She surrendered without reservation and what he wanted most was for her to have a good time, to fulfill her passion and not be afraid with him. He felt renewed with her, it was only fair that he got something in return.
