Shockwave
Last Updated:
2025-03-16 17:05:47The shockwave began to spread its trails around Daniel. One of the company's most important partners decided to withdraw, and with him, his shares, which caused at least four minor partners to do the same.
The meeting in the boardroom was getting increasingly heated. Daniel endured the complaints from the board members with an iron attitude and in silence. Beverly watched him from the corner of her eye and knew what he was thinking: if it were up to him, the whole company could burn down.
Harry was also watching him, watching how he withstood the anger of everyone else present without flinching. Not one of them stayed quiet; they all had something to say.
Leonard Reed had given orders from the shadows, adjusted some loose screws, and threatened left and right so that, little by little, the

Deanna only knew how to do one thing after Beverly left: lock herself in the music room. It was her refuge when she needed to think, when she argued with Daniel, or when she needed to cry. And at that moment, she really needed to cry.Her place in the house was beautiful, so full of music, so full of her husband's affection in every detail. Everything designed for her, from the sofas where she could receive her musician friends, to the instruments she didn't know how to play.She sang for everyone there. Jonathan would run with all his might when he knew Deanna would give them a private performance. He would settle on the floor, legs crossed and his little face full of expectation, a huge smile from ear to ear. And he would look at her in wonder.There, she taught him, although he never rep

The next shock wave came from the least expected place. Convinced that Harry was going to leave her, that he would go far away and she couldn't hold him back, Laura decided to use her last resort: Deanna herself.Perhaps the final days of her pregnancy were driving her crazy, perhaps the constant rumors about Deanna and Daniel annoyed her, or perhaps she felt cornered by the imminent end of her short marriage; but Laura was livid, tired, exhausted.One can make the best decisions when something important is at stake, or the worst decisions of one's entire life; ultimately, the outcome determines which. She had the feeling that something was slipping through her fingers.Laura: "Deanna, I need to talk to you. Do you think you could come to the University café at 4?"

She remained seated outside the room, head tilted back, staring at the ceiling. Trying to stop her mind from repeating the same words and images over and over.The east wing of the hospital was reserved for wealthy patients, each room the size of a small apartment with all the comforts, and outside a furnished and equipped visitors' lounge. There she waited.Without effort, tears ran down her face, soaking her shirt. She had a very difficult path ahead and wasn't sure if she wanted to walk it. She felt betrayed.All the Crushers arrived together, hurried and anxious. Daniel entered last and Harry was the first to appear before Deanna."What happened?" Harry asked urgently."They're doing an

"What do you think will happen now?""What we were waiting for.""How can you be sure?""I can't, I just know. Get the envelope to me... just in case.""He'll come after me!""No, he won't... Get me the envelope and I'll let you know."He was worried about her reaction, her expression, those dull eyes that looked at him in the hospital. But he prepared himself in case his suspicions were true.

Harry watched his wife as she fed Emma. He had to ask her what had happened with Deanna.Emma fell asleep."Laura, what did you and Deanna talk about yesterday?" He kept his voice calm, but tension tightened his jaw."Why are you asking?" She didn’t look up, focused on adjusting the blanket around Emma."She looked awful. She was crying. Tell me what happened.""I told her what she needed to know, Harry.""Know?""Yes, I told her the whole truth. Everything you never wanted her to find out. About Frank. About why you asked her to marry Daniel. The truth—that you're leaving us because you're in love with her."

"You do know they're still together, right?""Well... Maybe the envelope is necessary after all.""Let's just leave everything as it is.""Don't be a coward. We've come this far, why stop now?""What are you going to do with that?""I'll make sure they see it... You might want to start getting ready.""You surprise me every time...""I'm just doing what's best for everyone."

They waited a month for Emma's baptism, and that same month was how long Deanna refused to see or speak to Harry. But the excuses had finally run out because Daniel would be the godfather.She couldn't avoid it—when he saw her again at the church door, arriving with his brother and nephews looking like a perfect family, he felt that familiar ache in his chest. But all those feelings had to fade eventually; he had decided they would.It was Deanna's first time meeting the baby in person, having only seen photos before. Laura insisted she hold her, though it was obvious Deanna had built walls around herself for protection against more pain.But the tiny pink bundle brought a gentle smile to her face, and for a few moments, she forgot everything else.

And Daniel wasn't the only Crusher dealing with doubts and uncertainties. Harry was also still learning, but for him, the learning curve was different: he had left behind a toxic relationship, devoid of affection and love, for one that was completely opposite. And sometimes, just sometimes, the resentment from those times would leave a lump in his throat.Even though Amanda was about to give birth, Harry still hadn't taken that next step in their relationship: marriage. He truly wanted to marry the mother of his child, but he had bitter memories from his last marriage that were holding him back.“I understand, Deanna, it's not easy for him to accept that things have changed,” Amanda said one warm afternoon as they sat together enjoying the last rays of sunshine.“That child was very lucky to have found you. I guess he still has a lot of open wounds.”“Yes... but he also became a happy and funny man. He's nothing like the Harr

For the other grandfather, the more worldly one, everything was new. He couldn't share Charles's vision regarding children and grandchildren. He had only just learned to be a father to Deanna, when she no longer needed him to grow up. And he was still learning. Grandchildren? That was in another dimension.He had spent half his life immersed in resentment, hatred, and self-punishment. He reflected his mother's rejection in the women around him: his wife and daughters. He carried the unhappiness of lost love and felt nothing but fleeting moments.And in the blink of an eye, he had a family and a stable relationship that complemented him. He and Susan were something neither of them suspected or planned; they grew closer after Deanna and Daniel remarried, at family gatherings, in casual conversations. Until one day he realized he couldn't stop thinking about her.Old Leonard dusted off his true charm to win her over; because this woman was not like the others, this

He held her hand as they waited for their turn for the ultrasound. One of her feet kept tapping the floor, causing her knee to rise and fall.Several other couples were waiting, some women alone, and they looked at them curiously. You couldn't help but notice the 15-year age difference, especially Daniel's increasingly noticeable gray hair. And, for some reason, Deanna's face looked more cheerful, fresher, and younger.“Don't be nervous,” she said, giving him a small smile.He just looked at her and smiled back. He was always nervous for her and their children; he couldn't help it. Even if everything was perfect and normal, Daniel always worried. It was just the way he was.Finally, it was time to go in, and the specialist welcomed them with everything ready.“Would you like to know the sex of your babies?” she asked.“Yes.”“Very well... Then let's check how they are first.”She

Deanna continued singing throughout her pregnancy, but it became increasingly difficult. Carrying two children growing inside her and still shining on stage, captivating the audience with her voice and stage presence, was becoming difficult. Daniel accompanied her to every performance, proud of his wife and excited about the belly that grew every day.“I can't do this anymore,“ she told Leonard as she stepped off the stage.Wagner's Tristan and Isolde was the opera Marcus had chosen for that season.“Don't worry, I'll talk to Marcus and we'll find a replacement for you. It's time for you to rest, baby,” he said worriedly.He held her hand as if she were going to fall or fall apart. For Reed, it was a new experience. Despite Alice's pregnancies, he had never been involved in anything like this. But now he could see his grandchildren growing inside his daughter and was experiencing all kinds of emotions.Deanna was so touched

When the last page of the document was signed, Harry could finally breathe deeply. It was over. Laura tried to fight it, but she had nothing left; none of the Crushers supported her. And the first thing he did with his freedom restored was to go and bring back the mother of his child. They settled back into Amanda's small, old apartment, for the time being. The house had gone to Laura, and Harry had no interest in going back there.And although Emma was legally in the care of her grandparents, she moved in with them. And for the first time, she was able to experience what it was like to have a loving family. It was easy for her to bond with Amanda, the little girl got along with everyone, especially when she received kisses and hugs and heard stories before going to bed. Having the same person take her to daycare by the hand and then pick her up to spend some time at the park soon became a habit for the little girl.Amanda asked Deanna to be her son's godmother and Dan

“Well, what shall we do? Shall we have dinner?“ asked Leonard.“Please, I'm starving...” replied Deanna.“Get changed and let's go the Liverpool, my friend has booked us a table.”“Are you coming, Harry?“ asked Daniel.“Harry said he had things to do, but we'll take Emma,” replied Deanna.He rushed out with his phone in one hand and his car keys in the other. He had no idea what was going on, all he understood was that the envelope he was now carrying inside his jacket gave him the freedom he so desperately wanted. Freedom without fear.How had Deanna gotten it? He didn't understand either. All he could see was the road ahead. As he drove, he realized what he was feeling, what he really needed. It wasn't an impulse or a consolation. He wanted to see her, hear her, be with her, beg her for forgiveness and plead with her.When he arrived at the address on his GPS, he got out of

Once again, the Ambassador raised the curtain, the lights shone brightly, and the seats awaited the audience. It was another opening night in the city. Some were eager to see her again, others went out of curiosity, and she continued to feel nervous. But this time, the entire family was present, even Camila.She could no longer make excuses; she was the wife of his eldest son. And to Charles' surprise, she hadn't put up much resistance; it seemed that she was beginning to accept Deanna's place. Harry also got his tickets, which caused another argument at home, but he didn't care what Laura had to say. He dressed Emma and they left; he didn't know how long the girl would be able to sit still, but at least they would see her for a while.In her dressing room, there was a bouquet of roses from Daniel, her costume hanging on a hanger, and the makeup artist putting the finishing touches on her. Her stomach was a ball of nerves and her heart was filled with happiness. She ha

Daniel arrived home from work to find Leonard sitting in his living room, looking very relaxed and comfortable, but Deanna was nowhere to be seen.“What are you doing here?” he asked.“Deanna called me and asked me to come over.”“For the premiere?”Leonard just shrugged.“Are they here?”“Nope...”“And Susan?”“At home.”The door opened and Jonathan ran in, followed by Ethan and Naomi and finally Deanna.“Hi, sweetie,” Leonard greeted her.Strangely, the children barely said hello and quickly went up to their rooms. Her face said nothing; she was grim, somber. She looked at them and made them uncomfortable.“Deanna, what's wrong?“ Daniel noticed something strange.“I need to talk to you. Can we go to your office?”“Yes...”What was going on?

Deanna searched her mind, but she couldn't remember anyone named Amanda, not even from college. But from the way she asked about Harry and looked at Emma, she knew him.“Harry's fine... I saw him a few hours ago.”“Emma has grown so much,” she said, but something in her voice sounded wrong.“Excuse me... are you okay?”“To be honest, no... I sound like a stalker, don't I? I'm sorry... I couldn't resist the urge... I came to town to do some research and see my doctor, and I was passing by... I know I shouldn't have done it.”She was confused. The woman spoke to her naturally, even confidently. However, it was clear from her expression and tone of voice that she wasn't quite right. She looked at her belly as she caressed it with one hand.“I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused Daniel too. He's been so good and kind, he cared about me... About us. If it hadn't been for him, Harry would have
