She let it ring and ring, but there was no answer. Leaving the phone ringing, she reached over and tried to find a pulse. Terror struck her as the unimaginable slammed into her mind. He had no pulse. He couldn't be dead. What happened? Oh my God, what was going on? Needing the comfort of her baby, Chris, she rushed to the nursery. Chris was laying in the crib. Clothed in the sleeper and matching cap she had so tenderly dressed him in earlier in the evening, he wasn't moving. The stiff body of her son testified to the horrible truth she could not accept - both Jim and Chris were gone. She sat in the rocking chair in the nursery, her dead baby in her arms. For hours she stared ahead, not caring what happened to her, and not knowing what to do next. She couldn't cry. She tried to pray but she didn't know what to pray for and for the first time in her life, she did not get any comfort from praying. Her mind was too numb to accept the unacceptable. Jim and Chris couldn't be dead. Her amazing life couldn't be over. What happens next... Find out...

NAILA CAM'S.... I did well to behave this way, make his mouth water and break me, that was the point in fact and I hope my plan will work, I hope you understand my intentions, I know he will want to know more about me and that's precisely why I behaved like that otherwise, I would really want to accept this job, have this breakfast and spend a night in the clouds with him, do you really think I'll be that naive? No not really, I really hope the plan works.... I went home with a smile on my face at least I managed to make the billionaire fall into my trap, I know I pass like a bitch in the eyes of some but I swear to you I don't care about these judgments for me, I always get what I want and that's the most important thing girls, you have to know what you want...... I ordered two packets of pizza, braised chicken dishes and plantains, I'm going to enjoy a series that I started on Netflix tonight, you're probably wondering where my parents are, hey bha they live at home yes because I decided to take my life in hand, I am very authoritarian, I do not like to depend on others, so I decided to take my destiny in hand and make sure that I do not miss you're welcome, since I was 24 my parents no longer have any obligation towards me and fortunately I have no brother or sister, I am an only child l..... I took off my shorts hanging on the clothes rack, then I went to lay on the bed waiting for my food, I kept thinking about David, I want him just for me but first I have to play tough, more difficult it was to do it, now that I know that he will not be quiet until he finds me, I can finally sleep on my two ears..... Narrator Often women are very cunning on this one, all the man has to do is fall into their trap and it's up to him to make the effort to found a relationship, it's a bit like that when you're in love and you can't not let your crush know what you feel for him, the game is a little dangerous but you should also assume the fallout... The beautiful NAĂŹLA was not at all ready to give up this fight and there David bit into the hook, he wants it at all costs, would it be the beginning of a long-awaited love story? DAVID GOMEZ.... Since I saw this woman, I can't get her out of my head anymore, just thinking about her, I'm starting to salivate, it's not that I'm a pervert but I want her to make her mine until the end of time, I hope she won't push me away, I can't even concentrate on my job anymore, I spend all my time thinking about her and her body, apparently I'm all the time at the hotel, still observing if she will come back, I have the impression that I should act myself, since she explained to me the last time that she lived behind the school, I so decided to walk there asking people if they knew her, I had managed to take a picture of her and besides, I found her on social networks, she looks very famous in any case, and indeed I came across a little girl who knew her and who was ready to lead me to her, my dearest NAĂŹLA, know that David gets everything he wants...... I arrived with modesty and no one could recognize me like that, it's a way for me to be myself for once and I swear to you that it makes me feel good that everyone sees me as David and not the very famous billionaire, once in front of the door of her apartment, she had a hard time believing it, she stayed more than 10 seconds looking at me without even flinching a word, miss you wanted to drive me crazy but I'm the one who's going to tell you Make crazy.. - what are you doing here David? She was about to close the door when I stopped her.... - What are you trying to do? I came to see you - why is that ? - but let me in at least, we need to talk - oh my God, I forgot you were a mule Mr, come in - thank you miss (executing) - so what is the famous subject you wanted to address? - Anyway, can I have some water please? - you're really crazy you, I'll be back She went to fetch water while I admired her little living room, I imagine how she manages to pay for this apartment since she told me she wasn't working, is that a lie? I do not know what to think anymore...... "I hope this time you'll make up your mind to talk before my boyfriend comes back." - I do not care so much about your boyfriend, tell me why you do not want to accept my offer? - what will it bring me? - just give your consent and let me do the rest - uhm, why are you so mysterious David? "You don't know why?" Getting up from the sofa, I approached her, sinking on her lips, the kiss was so soft and tender, I had been dreaming of this moment for two weeks, this devil I want her, the tension was strong, the caresses intense, I touched her everywhere, without realizing it, our clothes had already reached the ground, I wanted to spoil this moment by breaking the silence but she ordered me this.... - Shuttt, continue David, I've waited so long for this moment - your wishes are princess orders....
