They were destined. He didn't believe about that, she knew that one day they would find each other and spend the rest of their lives together. It didn't matter if it would take time. Gods had decided for them years ago and they could not fight against it.

The Thread of life Chapter 1 Introduction.

"Mateo, Mateo! Look here!"

At that request, the young champion turns toward the paparazzi and smiles, holding tightly the hand of her companion who does not hesitate to show the big engagement ring given to her by the boy: getting visibility, even more. The girl's smile grows wider when she realizes that the photographers' attention is all on her-she is the star of the moment, not Mateo!

"When is the date? " asked one, "Congratulations, guys!" said another. Being very reserved Mateo did not answer and waved that he should enter the club, but that was Nadia's chance and she did not waste a single second and held back the footballer to answer the reporters' questions:"Quickly, very soon! Rob and I are very happy and there will be nothing or no one that can separate us, right mi amor?"

the young soccer player stiffens but tries not to give it away; he hates that nickname and that "Mi amor" reminds him of another person. A person who has always been on his mind and in his heart, but is slipping away from him at that moment.

"Mi amor, never leave me." A promise he had made but apparently had not kept.

From a distance Rafael signals to him that he must join him and his family, waking the 30-year-old from his own thoughts.

No, this is no time to be sad.

He holds his companion's hand tightly and walks toward his brother, ready to receive that award that would place him alongside soccer's greats forever. Because all the sacrifices made by his parents, his unnatural passion for football led to all this.

The fame, the glory, the happiness: it is all deserved.

But it wasn't always so easy, and as he steps onto that stage a trail of memories runs through his mind, making him travel into the past.

And that same journey is the one we will take as well.

One Night With The Wrong Brother

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.
