Chapter: COEXISTENCE."Do you like them?""Of course I do, love, they're beautiful!"The blonde girl responded excitedly, looking at the wedding rings."I know they're not very expensive, but...""That doesn't matter. The important thing is that we'll love each other forever."She hugged him, giving him a tender, innocent kiss..."Is anyone there?"She waved Noah's hand in front of Hayami, who looked lost while holding some rings."Of course I'm here. Can't you see me?"She replied, annoyed. In the last few days, after Ivan's arrival, her memories returned like weapons that didn't pierce her heart, but rather her pride, which made her feel stupid."How do you see these?"Noah asked, having no idea what was going through her mind."Yes, I think they're fine, they're very pretty... Hey, by the way, what did you do with the engagement ring you were going to give my sister?""I saved it, why? Do you want it? If so, I can give it to you."She pressed her septum with her fingers."You're immature, have they told

Chapter: EXPLANATIONS.Hugo stood before Isabel's father, who looked at him very annoyed."Sir, I will marry your daughter.""I have no choice but to accept it."The imposing man replied, but he was looking at his eldest daughter.Isabel took Hugo's hand."Hayami told me it will be in a month, right?"Jazmín asked calmly."That's right, Mom."Isabel replied fearfully."And where will the wedding be?"The man sitting with his arms crossed asked again."If I may give my opinion... All the preparations for my wedding with your daughter were almost ready, so you can get married with all those arrangements, no problem."Noah, sitting next to Hayami, commented. Isabel had asked him to be at that meeting for Hugo, because she was afraid for her father."That's fine, since I won't put a single peso into that wedding."The girls' father said, getting up from his seat and leaving.Hayami smiled at the others' awkward expressions."Well, sister, we have to finish some wedding matters. Don't pay attention to Dad, he'll

Chapter: DESTINATION?Noah got out of his car and sighed, knowing Isabel was waiting for him. When he knocked on the door, the employee opened it, leading him into the living room where Isabel was waiting."Hmm...""What do you mean, he's your friend?!"Isabel immediately questioned him without even letting him say hello.He touched his forehead as he looked down."He's an old college classmate; I didn't know he was your sister's ex.""The ex-idiot who made her look like a coward.""Well, whatever, you never told me his name."Noah approached her, taking a seat next to Isabel."I know, excuse me, I never thought in this big world you two would know each other.""How's your sister? I heard she left the company early.""Not just the company, but the house too."He sighed deeply."Knowing her, I know where she is or what she's doing.""Hey! I didn't know your sister was a natural redhead; I thought she dyed her hair, if her skin tone is lighter, but I thought it was because she only spends her time locked up

Chapter: ABSENT.Hayami arrived home and, upon entering, quickly ran upstairs. Isabel, who was reading a book in the living room, watched her walk past quickly before hearing her bedroom door slam shut. Isabel left her book on the sofa and went up to Hayami's room. After knocking and getting no response, she opened the door, seeing her sister lying on the bed with her forearm covering her closed eyes, biting her lower lip."Did something happen at the office?"Hayami didn't answer."What happened, Hayami?"Isabel asked worriedly when Hayami didn't answer.Hayami took her hand from her face and looked at Isabel, who was standing in front of her."What's wrong? ... That life hates me, that simple, that my heart is a traitor for beating for someone who destroyed it without remorse, without consideration, that fate is playing tricks on me, first making me have something with Noah, and now this.""I don't understand.""Ivan arrived at the office today."Isabel's face grew more concerned when she learned wh

Chapter: WHO BROKE MY HEART.Ariel told Noah that the taxi was waiting downstairs. Upon hearing this, he got up from his seat, grabbing Hayami's car keys, which he had left on his desk that morning, though she hadn't asked for them."Surely she doesn't remember, so she forgets everything."He said, a little annoyed, as he tucked the keys into his pants. Noah left the office and saw Ariel looking at him, indeed, with some compliment, but he just smiled at her before entering the elevator.As he went down and left the office, just as Ariel had told him, the taxi was waiting. As he got in, Noah gave the address of the place where he had picked up Hayami the night before.After a few minutes of driving, Noah arrived at Hayami's car. He got out of the taxi, paid for her ride, walked over to Hayami's car, and put the keys in. As he opened the car, he smelled her scent. Apparently, he liked the scent of perfume, but it was always a soft aroma, not at all overpowering. He sighed, got into the car, and, starting it, heade

Chapter: HANGOVER.Hayami woke up feeling very lazy, and with a severe hangover, but she knew it was Monday and she had to go to the office, even though she had an important position and could skip it if she wanted. She didn't like missing work because of a night out. She got out of bed, took off the long blouse she'd slept in, and took a shower. When she got out, she dressed in a long-sleeved white shirt and a tight black skirt that fell below her knees. She put on black slippers, brushed her hair, leaving its waves loose, grabbed her sunglasses and purse, and left the room, trying not to make any noise. She didn't want to run into her sister, who would obviously attract her attention.As she left the house, she looked at the family chauffeur, approached him, and asked him to take her to the office, since her car had been left there the night before.Noah woke up with a slight headache; He wondered if it was because he'd interrupted his sleep or because he'd had to put up with a drunken Hayami.He cont

Chapter: The Journey II.Axel was sitting on a bench in the park right next to the hotel; he remembered that when he entered his room he lay down on the bed. He felt a little tired; he had wanted to sleep during the trip, which he had managed, but only for a few hours, as he woke up to the sound of small snores next to him."How can a girl snore like that? Maybe she was very tired."Then she took a pair of pants and a polo shirt, took a shower and decided to go for a walk, finding that park where she sat down to watch the birds and the people who were there.Axel sighed and, turning his gaze, he saw that woman in a white dress with pink flowers and pink sandals just like those flowers; she was really short. Her waist-length brown hair followed her with her gaze. She walked looking around. She noticed that an old man accompanied by a little girl approached her and he offered her something, to which she shook her head. The little girl pulled the old man's pants hiding between his legs. Alicia smiled and then no

Chapter: The JourneyAxel was sitting at the airport, waiting for Alicia. He looked at his watch, it read 1:15 in the morning. He sighed a little tiredly.“Didn’t you tell me that we would meet here at 1:00?”In the distance he saw Alicia with her suitcase, she looked hurried. She approached him a little agitated, bent down, putting her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath. Axel was hoping for that.“Excuse me, boss, I’m sorry for being late. I was doing well, I even left early to be here at 12:00, but the taxi crashed into another car and by the time the insurance and my statement arrived, time was gone. I was barely able to get out of the situation, I had to explain to the police that I had a flight.”Axel got up from his seat, a little worried about what Alicia had said about a crash. He quickly looked her over from head to toe, looking for any bruises. He didn't dare touch her, so he just did it with his eyes.—But are you okay?—Yes, I'm okay, the accident wasn't serious, but I had to take

Chapter: PreparationsAlicia got up earlier than usual, as she wanted to have her suitcase packed for the trip to Miami. She was excited about the trip. Since she married Gabriel, she hadn't traveled anymore, as there was always a new excuse not to take her on his trips. Once she had packed everything in her suitcase, she went to the company.— Good morning, Laura.She greeted the receptionist at the entrance. In his first month, Luis had been in charge of introducing all the workers and had started friendships with many of them.— Good morning, Alicia.Laura responded with a smile.—How are you?— Very well, has the boss arrived yet?— Yes, he just arrived.— Ah, ok, thanks, then I better go up.Alicia arrived at her desk, saw several papers and one of them was the contract for the secretary who would be substitute in her position. Axel had to sign it. So Alicia took it and knocked on the office door.—Come in!It was heard from inside the office. Alicia entered and went to Axel's desk, where he was sitti

Chapter: WoundIt had been three months since Alicia had signed the divorce with Gabriel. She had not seen Gabriel in all that time, even though they had already arranged things with Abril. They had agreed that he would have her on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and she would have the remaining days. On Thursdays and Fridays, her mother-in-law would go to school for her and Alicia would pick her up after work. On Saturdays, Alicia left earlier; on Sundays she had Sundays off, so she could spend the whole morning and afternoon with Abril before dropping her off at Celeste's house.Gabriel, whenever he picked up the girl, never got out of the car. Alicia only looked at him through the car window. He didn't look at her; it was as if he didn't want to face her. In those three months, she only saw him once, which was for the divorce, and on two occasions she had spoken to him on the phone just to hear the same litany of why he left her. It seemed that he enjoyed seeing her suffer; She really didn't und

Chapter: StartAlicia looked at her watch and walked to the bus stop. After waiting a while for the bus to arrive, she got on, went straight to her mother-in-law's house and, when she arrived, knocked on the door. Her mother-in-law opened it smiling at her when she saw it was her.—Daughter! Come in.—Mom, how are you?Alicia hugged Celeste effusively.—Okay, daughter, but you don't look well, you look a little pale. Aren't you sleeping well? Are you eating, right, daughter?—Yes, mom, I'm sleeping and I'm eating, don't worry.At that moment, tears sprang from her eyes, she couldn't hold them back, she hated to continue crying, but she couldn't stop. The pain always overwhelmed her will.—Daughter, don't cry, you break my heart. That son of mine will see that she comes now. How is it possible that I make those beautiful eyes cry? I can't allow it. I'm going to talk to him; he's going to have to explain to me what's going on.—No, mom, don't worry, don't tell him anything, he made his decision. I'm n
