Episode 2.

Malignant Obsession.

After seeing a military movement far superior to that of their own country, the Northern government issues a statement in which they ask for the immediate release of Colonel Arthur Mac Fly, of the Forty-second fleet of their Navy, who according to a reliable source, would be somewhere between Zaxonia and Jewels against their will, therefore, until the equal government of Zaxonia and Jewels hand over said soldier, they will not withdraw their fleet; and if they have to use the diplomatic, military and governmental force that supports them, they will use it with the pretext of freeing the aforementioned colonel and any other citizen of the North who is in Zaxonian or Jewelian territory...

***

Given this response, the governments of Zaxonia and Jewels maintained contact with international organizations where they obviously discussed legal actions against the North, and where it was also confirmed that there was no citizen named Arthur Mac Fly in their respective territories, therefore which the Northern government could not invade those countries and do whatever they wanted...

Thus, immediately, a press conference was called, where the Prime Minister, Marrie Jones, of Jewels; and President Raymond Quillet of Zaxonia, confirmed that citizen Colonel Arthur Mac Fly was not in any of the government institutions of both countries, therefore, they demanded justice for his people, the release of his men, already detained by the Armies of the North and the withdrawal of their fleet from the Gregorian coasts.

What no one knew was that Arthur Mac Fly was indeed in Jewels, but he remained deprived of all freedom in the background of Nathan Treck's house, who had become unhealthy obsessed with that colonel with green eyes and a strong body who begged for mercy from his captor, who in a total outburst and out of reality, had kidnapped the colonel and kept those men confined and sedated for whom both nations were centimeters away from falling into a terrible and bloody total war, one of those that bring misfortune and thousands of deaths, accompanied by great destruction, loneliness and helplessness for many innocent citizens.

Nathan was being irresponsible, selfish, narcissistic and terribly sadistic…

Nobody knew Nathan's personality, but those deprived of liberty were getting to know his hidden side; this time reality surpassed any fiction, because for Nathan Treck there were no limits, borders or impossible, since when he wanted something, he got it at any cost without caring about the rest of the world, because he was no longer aware of his own mind... He was divided between good and evil, and that scale of his brain leaned towards evil, leaving very little for good, but that beast hidden within him came more alive once he crossed the threshold of the door of what he called home.

This is the life of being indecisive and imprecise; It places the people who could love each other the most, to coincide at a bad time, since it sends them to love and harm each other simultaneously in the process, since two people who have a connection will not be able to break it, even if they come to hate each other or distance themselves for a long time… Even if they deny it or lie, they will always feel that nostalgia in their hearts, because a part of them will always live in the other.

 "There are people who mark you for life and you can't avoid it."

Nathan and Víctor, a romance that blossomed in adolescence and lasted until the spring of youth, lovers who gave their lives for each other, regardless of time or distance, always found a happy place to love each other his way.

Maybe it was the wrong time where their love blossomed; or perhaps destiny did not have a start date for them, because they met one winter, when Nathan was seventeen years old and Victor was twenty, both of them had a fugitive relationship, that was the adventure of living, the adrenaline of the moment and the expectation that they discovered what made their love so solid... 

Those years in Tarzas were magnificent, no one stopped them from loving each other in their own way, they were simply happy, but it was only until August Casanova returned to Tarzas to return to Irsalia with Victor, since his parents had betrothed him to a marriageable young woman from a good family and an angelic appearance, representing everything a man could desire.

Thus, little by little, Victor distanced himself from Nathan, and with this, Nathan's jealousy exploded like an evil bomb of emotions, especially when he realized that the man of his life was posing in magazines with that young woman, swearing eternal love, that love, which a few months ago he professed for him... thus, envy, jealousy and spite played with Nathan's mind, making him see non-existent realities... Maybe it was just a passing romance, or perhaps Victor was confused and had used it in that short, but intense period of time... in any way, Nathan was sure of one thing, and that was that he would destroy anyone who stood in his way to happiness; and that included going above and beyond the law.

When the marriage was announced, Nathan was twenty-three years old and he still couldn't let go of the desire that Víctor produced in him. Those loving caresses wouldn't leave his mind, those wet kisses were his fantasy and that moment where the two were one, it was glorious.

As if he were a teenager in heat, Nathan answered Victor's letters every month, where he asked him to wait for him, that he really loved him and that the marriage was just appearances, that the only love he had was Nathan; and as always, Nathan answered in love, that he would wait for him, that even an eternity in time was too short for him.

Two months later, it was revealed that Víctor Casanova and his wife Esther had welcomed a beautiful man whom they called Thiago, so Víctor professed more and more eternal love for that young woman; upon seeing this, Nathan's heart stopped beating for a moment, his feelings felt destroyed, something had changed inside him, the hope of having Victor had vanished and all because of the love that Esther had stolen from him, since then Victor stopped writing to him, he only received a Christmas card wishing him good wishes and prosperity, so that romance seemed to have failed.

Nathan, depressed, enlisted in the army to release all that fury that he knew was eating him up inside; and later, once he was discharged, he changed locations, took a direct flight to Zaxonia and a train to Jewels, trying to erase everything that reminded him of Victor, he would not let someone hurt his feelings again.

He was quickly hired by the Jewels government due to his excellent recommendations; and in a very short time, his name was one of the most respected: women and men always spoke of Nathan's professionalism and his fame grew so much that they came from abroad to be treated at the Clinic where he carried out his professional practice.

He once tried to go out with a woman, but it was awkward, maybe that wasn't his thing, because every time she tried to move on, he ended up rejecting her, he could kiss her and hug her, but he couldn't go any further, because every time as he tried, he saw Esther's face in the woman's face; and that was something that he still could not overcome, which is why that woman ended up leaving him with the pretext that he could not satisfy her basic needs as a woman.
