C\u00e2nd Sofia a \u00eemplinit dou\u0103zeci \u0219i cinci de ani, nu se g\u00e2ndea deloc la c\u0103s\u0103torie. T\u00e2n\u0103ra lucra \u00eentr-un mic hotel \u0219i aproape tot salariul \u00eel d\u0103dea mamei sale: familia lor tr\u0103ia deja de c\u00e2\u021biva ani \u00een datorii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Principalul vinovat era tat\u0103l Sofiei. Juca \u00eencontinuu la jocuri de noroc, \u00eemprumuta bani \u0219i de fiecare dat\u0103 promitea c\u0103 \u00eei va \u00eenapoia pe to\u021bi p\u00e2n\u0103 la ultimul b\u0103nu\u021b. Dar, \u00eentr-o zi, suma datoriei a devenit at\u00e2t de mare, \u00eenc\u00e2t era deja imposibil s\u0103 fie achitat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tat\u0103l \u00eei datora aproape cincizeci de milioane de pesos unui b\u0103rbat pe nume Victor Alvarez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor era incredibil de bogat. De\u021binea companii de construc\u021bii, restaurante \u0219i mai multe hoteluri. Dar oamenii nu vorbeau doar despre averea lui. Pe la spate \u00eel numeau \u201eregele porcilor\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rbatul c\u00e2nt\u0103rea aproximativ o sut\u0103 patruzeci de kilograme, respira greu, transpira \u00een permanen\u021b\u0103 \u0219i se deplasa aproape \u00eentotdeauna \u00eentr-un scaun special. Fa\u021ba \u00eei era acoperit\u0103 de cicatrici ciudate, iar temperamentul lui era considerat at\u00e2t de dificil, \u00eenc\u00e2t p\u00e2n\u0103 \u0219i angaja\u021bii evitau s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 prea mult cu el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Victor a venit personal la casa datornicului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Ai la dispozi\u021bie o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 ca s\u0103 \u00eemi dai banii \u00eenapoi, a spus el calm tat\u0103lui Sofiei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rbatul a p\u0103lit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu am asemenea bani. Dar v\u0103 pot oferi altceva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a uitat la fiica sa, care st\u0103tea \u00een pragul u\u0219ii. Sofia a \u00een\u021beles imediat c\u0103 urma s\u0103 se \u00eent\u00e2mple ceva \u00eengrozitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Lua\u021bi-o de so\u021bie \u0219i ierta\u021bi datoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103, \u00ee\u021bi dai seama m\u0103car ce spui? a \u0219optit fata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar tat\u0103l ei \u00eel implora deja pe Victor s\u0103 accepte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cel mai ciudat lucru s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat c\u00e2teva secunde mai t\u00e2rziu. Miliardarul a privit-o \u00eendelung pe Sofia, apoi a r\u0103spuns calm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bine. Dar numai dac\u0103 ea accept\u0103 de bun\u0103voie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sofia putea refuza. \u00cens\u0103, \u00een acest caz, tat\u0103l ei \u0219i-ar fi pierdut casa \u0219i, cel mai probabil, ar fi ajuns la \u00eenchisoare din cauza altor fraude despre care familia aflase abia de cur\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fata a acceptat, de\u0219i \u00eei era greu chiar \u0219i s\u0103 stea \u00een apropierea viitorului ei so\u021b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La nunt\u0103 au fost prezen\u021bi sute de invita\u021bi. Sofia ar\u0103ta superb \u00een rochia alb\u0103, iar l\u00e2ng\u0103 ea st\u0103tea Victor. Burta lui uria\u0219\u0103 abia \u00eenc\u0103pea sub sacou, fa\u021ba \u00eei str\u0103lucea de transpira\u021bie, iar l\u00e2ng\u0103 scaunul lui se afla \u00een permanen\u021b\u0103 un asistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Invita\u021bii \u0219u\u0219oteau, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00eencerce m\u0103car s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 mai \u00eencet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 S-a v\u00e2ndut pentru bani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cemi imaginez c\u00e2t de sc\u00e2rb\u0103 \u00eei este s\u0103 stea l\u00e2ng\u0103 el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sofia auzea totul, dar nu r\u0103spundea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd lui Victor i s-a f\u0103cut cald, ea i-a adus ap\u0103 \u0219i i-a tamponat cu grij\u0103 fruntea cu un \u0219erve\u021bel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rbatul a \u00eentrebat-o surprins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu \u021bi-e sc\u00e2rb\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 atingi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sofia l-a privit uimit\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sunte\u021bi so\u021bul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 aceste cuvinte, Victor a t\u0103cut pentru prima dat\u0103 \u00een toat\u0103 seara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
T\u00e2rziu \u00een noapte, au ajuns la conacul lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd u\u0219a dormitorului s-a \u00eenchis, Sofia s-a \u00eencordat vizibil. \u00cens\u0103 Victor nici m\u0103car nu s-a apropiat de ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru a afla ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat mai departe, vede\u021bi comentariile de mai jos <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ea l-a privit surprins\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci de ce a\u021bi acceptat aceast\u0103 c\u0103s\u0103torie?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor nu a r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a ridicat din scaun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sofia a \u00eencremenit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u0103rbatul care, aparent, abia putea s\u0103 mearg\u0103 a f\u0103cut deodat\u0103 c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i perfect normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pute\u021bi\u2026 s\u0103 merge\u021bi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor s-a uitat la ea \u0219i a \u00eencuiat u\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Sofia, acum vei vedea ceva ce aproape nimeni nu \u0219tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i-a ridicat m\u00e2inile \u0219i a apucat pielea din apropierea g\u00e2tului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La \u00eenceput, fata nu a \u00een\u021beles ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103. Dar, dup\u0103 o secund\u0103, marginea \u201epielii\u201d a \u00eenceput s\u0103 se desprind\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sofia a \u021bipat \u0219i s-a retras spre pat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor \u0219i-a scos \u00eencet de pe corp o \u00eenveli\u0219\u0103 groas\u0103 din silicon, care \u00eei ascundea complet trupul de la g\u00e2t p\u00e2n\u0103 la coapse. Burta uria\u0219\u0103, pliurile pielii \u0219i chiar o parte dintre cicatrici erau o deghizare artificial\u0103, at\u00e2t de realist\u0103 \u00eenc\u00e2t aproape oricine s-ar fi putut l\u0103sa p\u0103c\u0103lit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen fa\u021ba Sofiei st\u0103tea un cu totul alt b\u0103rbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
T\u00e2n\u0103r, \u00eenalt \u0219i atletic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cine sunte\u021bi?.. a reu\u0219it ea s\u0103 spun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Victor Alvarez, a r\u0103spuns b\u0103rbatul. Dar acum trebuie s\u0103 afli cel mai \u00eenfrico\u0219\u0103tor secret al meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cu trei ani \u00een urm\u0103, Victor aproape c\u0103 murise \u00een urma unei tentative de asasinat. Atunci \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103 cineva dintre rudele sale apropiate voia s\u0103 pun\u0103 m\u00e2na pe averea lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De aceea, Victor a pref\u0103cut c\u0103 sufer\u0103 de o boal\u0103 grav\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 apar\u0103 \u00een public purt\u00e2nd un costum special. Voia s\u0103 par\u0103 un om slab, care urma s\u0103 moar\u0103 \u00een cur\u00e2nd, pentru a afla cine va \u00eencerca primul s\u0103 profite de situa\u021bia lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar mai exista \u0219i un alt motiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu mai avea \u00eencredere \u00een oameni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fiecare femeie cu care era prezentat era interesat\u0103, \u00eenainte de toate, de banii lui. Unele chiar r\u00e2deau de \u00eenf\u0103\u021bi\u0219area lui, crez\u00e2nd c\u0103 nu le aude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd tat\u0103l Sofiei \u0219i-a oferit propria fiic\u0103 \u00een schimbul datoriei, Victor a vrut ini\u021bial s\u0103 cheme poli\u021bia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar apoi a decis s\u0103 o testeze pe fat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 De aceea v-a\u021bi comportat tot timpul at\u00e2t de \u00eengrozitor? a \u00eentrebat Sofia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor a dat din cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Am vrut s\u0103 v\u0103d dac\u0103 vei r\u00e2de de mine, dac\u0103 m\u0103 vei umili sau dac\u0103 vei \u00eencerca s\u0103 pui m\u00e2na pe banii mei. Dar ast\u0103zi ai fost singura persoan\u0103 din acea sal\u0103 care s-a purtat normal cu mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sofia a t\u0103cut mult timp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apoi expresia fe\u021bei ei s-a schimbat brusc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Deci totul a fost un test?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Atunci nu sunte\u021bi cu nimic mai bun dec\u00e2t tat\u0103l meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor nu se a\u0219tepta deloc la un asemenea r\u0103spuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sofia \u0219i-a scos verigheta \u0219i a pus-o pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Un b\u0103rbat a decis c\u0103 m\u0103 poate da \u00een schimbul unei datorii. Iar altul a decis c\u0103 m\u0103 poate testa ca pe un obiect. Eu nu apar\u021bin niciunuia dintre voi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a \u00eendreptat spre u\u0219\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor nu a \u00eencercat s\u0103 o opreasc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diminea\u021ba, Sofia a aflat c\u0103 datoria familiei sale fusese achitat\u0103 \u00een \u00eentregime. Mai mult dec\u00e2t at\u00e2t, pe numele ei fusese deschis un cont cu o sum\u0103 de bani suficient de mare pentru a-i ajunge toat\u0103 via\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar ea nu a luat niciun peso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A trecut aproape jum\u0103tate de an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o sear\u0103, Victor a ap\u0103rut \u00een pragul u\u0219ii ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
F\u0103r\u0103 scaun, f\u0103r\u0103 burta uria\u0219\u0103 \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 masc\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Data trecut\u0103, al\u021bii au luat decizia \u00een locul t\u0103u, a spus b\u0103rbatul. De aceea, acum vei decide doar tu. Nu am venit s\u0103-mi cer so\u021bia. Am venit s\u0103 te \u00eentreb dac\u0103 ai vrea pur \u0219i simplu s\u0103 bei o cafea cu mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sofia s-a uitat la Victor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
