Chapter 2 traps of the heart: 18 years earlier

Eighteen years earlier...

Cancun, Mexico

It was another sunny day in Cancun when a red sports car sped by on the highway. Everything seemed right in William's life: lots of money in his pocket, no bills or worries that most young people of university age had. not in beautiful Cancun, which was considered the capital of vacations.

A beautiful city almost entirely controlled and surrounded by industrial corporations. One of them is Halley-Scorn TX, promising in many fields, a source of profit and income for all industries - especially hotels, textiles and finance - run with an iron fist by the lawyer/businessman, the greedy Richard Halley. Loved and hated by everyone at the same time. Very keen that his only son and heir, William, should follow in his footsteps in the future. All with a terrible past, Richard represses any personality trait outside the pattern and future he has set for his son.

William was a brilliant young man: excellent in mathematics and physics and a great inventor, excellent qualities, but with defects: but very womanizing and playboy living life at a thousand an hour. On the basis of whisky and adrenaline, the opposite of what his father expects. However, this young man's life is about to change. A sweet hurricane full of "adorable" ambitions crosses his path and that of his best friend, Diego.

William has menacing cobalt blue eyes, an enviable physique and a muscular, athletic build. His hair is black and neatly trimmed in a swept-back style. Perhaps all this attracts women. His fame as Don Juan, and his huge inheritance too. Diego was more moderate. Perhaps that was his biggest mistake. Blond, medium build, green eyes and impeccable taste in sports cars. He also collected women. A fine young man, no doubt. Villa Ricca's second best catch.

Diego and William had many things in common and had a pact. Diego's father was an influential politician with dubious character who would do anything to protect his son using his connections, and William was wise to keep the peace. parties, parties and more parties were all they needed.

A new nightclub was about to open in the area Diego was excited about. William was depressed because of his father's demands. A party would help a lot. Richard's demands on William's life were far from easy. Thinking about it again, William remembered a few days earlier when his father had called him in for a chat. On the way, Richard had talked about business and women and how dangerous it was to get carried away by them.

But not everything would turn out the way they wanted. Their lives would be swept away by a furious hurricane. And their friendship would be put to the test. Women are often a huge reason for wars in disguise and catalysts for great tragedies. The Trojan War is a case in point. Like the beautiful Helen of Troy, a woman was caught between two great friends and lifelong partners...

Wealth and power will be used.

It all begins with the story of the stunning and fatally adorable Sabrina de Rose, crown princess of a tiny island country, unimportant to the world at large. medium-sized, neither too tall nor too short, with a slender, elegant body and soft curves. Smooth, fair skin with curly, dark brown hair that was almost black. Honey-colored eyes, eyelashes and aristocratic, noble lips. A classic, romantic profile, but behind this seemingly angelic and innocent aura, there's a poisonous snake capable of doing anything to get what she wants, so be careful, very careful with this liar. So sweet and mischievous... that she will change the lives of so many people forever. Sad, tragic and true news will destroy these normal, ordinary lives... (Not everything is what it seems.) Fate is cunning and many people fall into the traps of pleasure all the time.

After annoying their parents, William and Diego get VIP tickets to the opening of the nightclub, on the condition that William and Diego accompany the men on a business trip and political discussions - Lucas Takahashi-Méndez was also a friend of Richard Haley, and Diego and William are inseparable.

As soon as the opening day arrived, many big names and their children arrived at the new nightclub. Richard allowed himself to relax:

"A break really does do so much good!"

"We need peace sometimes dad, work shouldn't always be the main thing. "

" Wise words, my son."

Possibly.

Work shouldn't always be the main thing. William turned to his father Richard, agreeing with what his father was saying about peace and quiet in the midst of heavy workloads.

Richard orders two fruit drinks. Strippers and bartenders circulate around the place. The four men sat in a reserved, private lobby from where they could see the whole party

William and Diego chatted a lot about the girls at the party and their plans for college. Soon the two of them left their parents and went to the dance floor.

Lucas and Richard were chatting and attracting the stares of the younger girls - after all, they were both still very young and had many adventures in common.

Meanwhile, in between drinks, an overwhelmed William opened up to his friend, revealing something dangerous: his father Richard was a close friend of Paul Vischtich, one of the city's biggest mobsters and billionaires, and had asked for absolute secrecy. What happened next happened very quickly: the drink had made the atmosphere more relaxed and safer for everyone.

The party at the disco was dragging on to trance music when she appeared in the middle of the group of women dancing, a beautiful young woman.

William saw her first: curly hair down her back, she wore a shiny black sleeveless dress with sequins that clung to her curves. Red lipstick and an intense energy for dancing. Diego was also enchanted by what he saw. She was dancing and enjoying life without worrying about anything.

It was all a matter of time.

This girl was very pretty, but she didn't know anything about the country. Fate was cunning and many people fall into the traps of pleasure all the time. She was different from the other girls there. Most of the wealthy local women were already known to the local elite.

The mysterious girl brought an air of novelty, freshness, urban feelings.

Everything was new, exerting an immediate fascination based on mythological similarities such as fairies and mermaids. The angelic, ethereal beauty was an invitation to something new. She observed her surroundings.

Soon they watched with mixed feelings and something in their hearts changed. The ideal woman to marry, establish a family and start companies was there. An interesting and curious thought for both of them.

Nothing was going to be easy. While she was having fun, oblivious to everything and just living as if there was no other way to be and live, there was a war of feelings and internal oaths of love started by people who knew nothing about her, just an idealized image of what a princess should be. And that wasn't easy to demystify.

Her plans weren't programmed for that. It was interesting how far this story could go.

The traps of love would cause reason and the bonds of friendship and even family ties to be dishonored in the name of a much greater well-being than that. Nothing was greater than their own ambitions. Diego and William became entangled in a web of perfumes and sweet poetry unspoken to their customs. There was a price to be paid. And fruit to reap.

Women.... sweet poetry. untold. Like his efforts in the past, William planned many things for Sabrina. But his life would never be easy.
