-----

Al Calor De La Pasion.

brown-blonde hair on a pillow of linen, leather tanned from a sheet intensely white, blue eyes looking blatant gesture of his own cruelty and triumph ... Vanessa shivered violently, rejecting the image that had arisen in his mind.
The insistent sound of the phone took it snapped the whirlwind of his thoughts. Answered the call reluctantly, after closing the door behind the living room so as not to disturb his father.

- Vanessa ...? Nessa
froze, and her beautiful face framed by a silky dark hair paled intensely.
That voice ... that unforgettable voice, deep, dark and thick as honey. He said his name as no one had ever told. For six years since I heard it, but instantly recognized, unable to escape the horror that occurred. She felt her throat closing.

- not having waited for a start - Efron Zachary whispered, lying through his teeth. Nessa
pulled theirs. Wanted to introduce his hand over the phone and slap cable. And that feeling again, this violent outburst of hatred that only he could arouse in her, she was an intense fear. She felt his mouth dry.

- What?

- I'm in a generous mood - he said slowly -. I am inclined to offer a meeting ...
Nessa's fingers closed tightly around the headset.

- A meeting? Why?

- Is it possible that you have not seen your father? - "He murmured.

- I've seen - Vanessa whispered without bothering to add Gerald Hudgens was in the next room.

- The embezzlement is a felony.

- had gambling debts - Nessa quietly protested -. It scared ... Not intended to steal the money to the company! I was just borrowing ...

- euphemistically speaking, of course - Zac said mockingly.

- The company was his Hudgens - Vanessa reminded him to helplessly bitterness.
But it is not - Zac said softly -. Now is mine. Nessa
felt an intense pang of guilt. If it were not for her, Zachary Efron would never have entered their lives. If it were not for her, the company would belong to his father. If it were not for her, Gerald Hudgens would not have been faced with a charge of embezzlement.

- Dad had intended to return the money - he said, feeling her stomach shrank -. If it were not for the audit, it never would have learned! - Said in despair.

- Why do you think I do occasional audits by surprise in my business? - Asked Zac -. Employees like your father get greedy and are sometimes caught red-handed. Nessa
trembled, hearing the deafening beat of his heart in his ears.

- Mi father is not greedy! I was just desperate ...

- I can not wait to see you tonight. I stay in the Deangate Hall. I'm sure I need not tell you what my suite. At eight o'clock - Zac specified -. Wait a minute past the hour. If not, there will be no second chance, face.

- better not waste time! - Vanessa cried, enraged by the sadism of Zac -. I'd rather see you in hell before they set foot back in that hotel!

- must have been quite a sight to see out of there with one shoe that afternoon - Zac whispered provocatively -. The maid found the other under the bed. Cinderella's shoe ...


- How dare you? - Nessa muttered under his breath.

- And as I recall, were about to leave behind something much more intimate - Zac said thoughtfully. Flushed
to the hair root, Vanessa hung up the phone before Zac could remember more details about the inexcusable weakness that showed that day.

last thing I wanted at that time was thinking about what happened in the Deangate six years ago.

"No", wanted to scream, "No". But it did not, of course. Vanessa did not scream. Vanessa hated losing control. He had grown up quietly sobbing behind closed doors, covering his ears to the cries of his mother to her poor father. He swore that she would be different and that would control his temper by any means. It would be hard without passion. And if he stayed away from the passion, achieve nothing damaging.

Worst of all was having to look back, see how it had broken its own rules and how he suffered because of it. Trying to get away from those scary echoes of the past, Vanessa returned to his father.

with gray face, tension, Gerald Hudgens looked up and just went on her, so focused on their own problems even wanted to know who had called.

- I had to give up all my keys ... even my car. I was not allowed back into my office - said with evident pain -. Then I was escorted outside the building by two security guards ... It was a nightmare!
These instructions should be Zac. Did not his father deserved a little more consideration, he asked Vanessa. Could not have allowed him to keep at least a little dignity?

- Dad ... - Ready to mourn, Vanessa went to her father to comfort him, but he pulled away.

- I would be treated the same way a thief - he said dryly.

- But you're not a thief! Gerald Hudgens

not respond.

Vanessa could not help feeling responsible. He must have realized that his father had problems. A week after the company bought Hudgens Zac, Vanessa's mother left her husband and filed for divorce. The large amount of the sale was an irresistible temptation for Carole Hudgens. Although their marriage was never good, Gerald Hudgens was devastated. He adored his wife. He always was fair and forgave him all his adventures. Would have done anything to keep his side. The only person who was relieved with the departure of Carole was his daughter. But

Nessa should have realized the huge gap that opened in the life of his father. He saw how he became a workaholic, because that was all that was left. And while the company flourished., Getting all the benefits that would have done so happy her mother, Vanessa did not think of the bitterness he must feel his father into thinking that the company was not his and that those benefits came too late to save their marriage.

But betting ...

- was a place to go, something to do - said Gerald as her daughter watched, dumbfounded. Then I started to lose and thought I could not go on losing forever ...

Silence lasted a few moments and then Gerald Hudgens rose heavily from his seat and walked with weary steps toward the door.
