Cedric had offered himself to pick up Robert from the airport. It was the first time he would see his brother's son or his wife after only seeing her for a few minutes at their wedding. He was excited, happy.

Connor, along with his siblings, had prepared a humorous sign for him to wait with for his brother, looking at the painstakingly crafted letters by Connor and the funny drawings made by his kids. Everyone was excited about Robert's arrival, even if it was just for a visit.

Except one person.

Noelia wasn't too pleased. She took a small victory in knowing Robert wouldn't work with her husband but didn't expect them to visit, especially after what had happened and the last call Robert made in which Alice also spoke.

He raised his sign when they announced the passengers from that flight were coming out but couldn't see Robert, thinking they might be delayed by the luggage.

Walking back and forth, dodging those waiting and the passengers coming out, except his brother. A bit resigned,

    "We are civilized people," Robert thought as he saw Cedric's mother arrive. He remembered her just as she was, despite the years they hadn't seen each other, the years they avoided seeing each other because Robert represented something she despised, a reason for Mr. Graham to divorce her and marry Robert's mother.Alice felt Robert tense up, and only then did she realize why Noelia had such a wide smile. She was winning this silent battle. Robert had told her that Cedric's mother had poisoned his mind against him when they were children, which drove them further apart, especially since Cedric hurt Robert. But now, it seemed, the older brother wanted to get along with Robert. The schemes were Noelia's, to annoy, not Cedric's."I'm sorry, Robert. I had no idea," Cedric apologized, but Robert just shrugged, downplaying the presence of his mother. They were adults now; it shouldn't affect him, and that lady should have let go of her hatred towards someone who had nothing to do with her se

  • Abandoned Wife    A lucky man

    Robert stood up to greet her, placing a hand on Alice's waist, and it wasn't necessary to draw her in because she stepped up beside Robert, lifted her face, and subtly sought her partner's lips. Before anything, Robert smiled."How lucky am I?" he asked with a wide smile."We'll see tonight," Alice whispered after kissing him. "Did you miss me much?" she took a seat next to Robert, after declining to sit on his lap."I'm tired," Noelia stood up, unable to bear how Alice monopolized all the attention, including her husband's. It was downright audacious how Cedric looked at her!"Well, I'm off to bed too," Noelia approached her mother-in-law, taking her by the hand to lead her to her room. But before she completely left, she dropped the last words that would make the situation between them genuinely tense."Aren't you coming, Cedric?" she asked her husband. That question shouldn't have even been asked; she expected Cedric to say the same as her, that he was going to bed."No, I'll stay

    "I want to leave this place," were the first words Alice said to Robert after she reacted and let out the water that had entered her body when she fell into the pool and hit her head. It hurt; her clothes were all wet, and she felt a slight pain in her chest and back, not to mention her throat. She wanted to keep coughing, but it hurt, pressing her sides trying not to cough. "Get me out of here, Robert," she started crying, taking refuge in the arms of her beloved. Cedric felt terrible about what had happened. He looked for Ethan and saw him in Connor's arms, feeling relieved to see where his son was.Robert picked her up to take her to the room, Cedric took Ethan from his son's arms and followed Robert, everything had gone silent because truly no one could believe that Noelia had thrown Alice into the pool to hurt her; it was... a strong shock for everyone, not even Alice expected it.Robert left his wife on the bed and immediately went to the door, taking his son from his brother's

    It had been five days since they returned from Cedric's house. After that trip, which seemed like a personal mission for Alice, achieving it and securing a new feat. Noelia had received her comeuppance from Alice, after attempting to make her life miserable, Cedric had told Robert about the situation between the couple, but when he wanted to tell Alice, the blonde refused to hear anything about it. She genuinely wasn't interested in Cedric and Noelia's private life and least of all wanted to feel any guilt if the couple divorced. She wanted nothing to do with it anymore. She had gotten her revenge; she didn't need to know anything more or bear the consequences. That matter was forgotten for her.They had gone shopping for some swimwear Alice needed for their vacation, but they hadn't expected to run into Charisse Sinclair and her brother, Jared. It was the first time Jared had seen the couple together after learning they had decided to give it a try. It was also the first time he had

    They had decided on two weeks of vacation. After all, they deserved it, but it was also one of the gifts for Alice's birthday."I still can't believe it," Alice took another sip, they had gone a bit overboard with the cocktails, but miraculously the blonde wasn't drunk, only Robert was."Alcohol seems to agree with me." She wasn't one to drink, she couldn't even remember ever getting drunk in her life, she lacked that type of experiences, and although she thought she'd end up drunker than a grape, it turned out her partner was the one already quite happy with all the drinks they had taken."The moon is coming out," Robert pointed towards the sky, but there was nothing there, just a cloudy sky. About to rain. Ethan was sleeping behind them. Empty glasses were everywhere, and Alice was looking at the one in her hand. She took Robert's so he wouldn't drink more, but she liked seeing him this way, she had never seen him like this and acknowledged he looked cute. Lately, he had been lookin

    Three days before the end of the holidays, Ethan woke up with a fever, his cheeks were very red and he felt bad, you could see it in the expression on his face or the soft moans he let out, crying in a low voice. I didn't want to eat anything.They immediately took him to the hospital, it was only a mild virus, but the symptoms could occur for another week, it was not necessary to be hospitalized, but to follow the care recommended by the doctor.It was not convenient for him to travel in that state, so it would no longer be two days that were left there, they had to be at least one more week, during his son's recovery.Because of that, they took another hotel, moved to the city center to be more comfortable and make it a more pleasant place for Ethan.Seeing her weakened expression or how lacking in mood she was broke her parents' hearts, Alice became very nervous, she even cried, it was the first time that Ethan got sick, a very new experience for her parents."He has fallen asleep,

    "Are you leaving yet?" Charisse left her room, it was eleven at night and Robert was there, he had dinner with them. She already had to go to bed, the next day she had to study. And Jared had already told him to go to bed."Yes, I'm leaving now. You go to sleep. She gave her a kiss on the forehead and the young woman smiled all in love with her brother's friend, she was crazy with Robert Graham, his platonic love. He tried to hide it as much as he could, he would never notice her, it had been more than five years and the difference was a lot, considering that Charisse was not even of legal age.The doorbell of the house rang and Jared went to open, leaving them alone in the living room, Charisse took the opportunity to give him a good night hug and Robert left, considering that that would not do him any harm to him, he did not see her in any other way, more than as his friend's sister, they were close, they chatted a lot, the three of them went out, he occasionally took her somewhere

    After that celebration, Robert and Alice had a couple of hours alone, before the inauguration event of their company.Robert touched his wife's finger, sliding down the ring that was there, looking so good in his hand."My wife..." the word tasted like honey in her mouth, but her lips tasted more like honey, painted in a soft tone and addressing her husband's."My love," he joined his lips with Graham's and began a dance that would undoubtedly lead to other things.Behind them the bed was waiting for them.The man's hands searched desperately behind the dress, without finding the zipper, he bit Alice's lower lip in a plea for her to help him get rid of that dress before he went crazy.Her laughter betrayed her, making mischief to have fun with Robert, despite seeing him desperate."Ah... did you find it funny?"

    "Why again?" Ethan was at his feet, without taking his eyes off his aunt, from all the sisters she was the most similar to Alice, especially after she had lost weight, a thin Alice looked a lot like Sam. "If they already divorced once, why get married?""The first time I walked to the altar was to please Dad. And believe me, I didn't have the slightest desire to marry, neither to Robert, nor to anyone, more than anything because I was in love with Jared. A wedding with him was a sacrifice, in its entirety. Much less did I see myself capable of loving him, I knew that he didn't want home either, we didn't know each other, there was no link between the two. And it seemed that it would be impossible to have had it."What now?""Haven't you seen her?" She looks at him and sighs," Loren replied. "She is very much in love. It's normal, Robert is a sweetheart, Sam."Is it the same Robert as...?" He looked at Sofia, then at Alice. "Why do I ask if I already know?""Yes, it's Robert Graham him

    That trip turned out to be a very bad idea.I was hoping that Mary would see him there and like the surprise, but it was the opposite.He was affected by his words.It was there for her, not because Mark was also present. Mary Jane said that it was important to her and he wanted to show her that it could also be important to him.The gesture was not well received."Why does this come from you, Jeremy?" I expected it more from his daughter, never from Jeremy, because he was the one who would lose the most. "Has anything happened with Mary Jane?" How is the situation there? - Mr. Taylor didn't seem to know that Mary was in the country. - Tell me. You can trust me."I fell in love with someone else," Jeremy said, sitting in front of Mr. Taylor. "And that person doesn't want to be my lover. I think... if our divorce doesn't intervene with anything, that option could be considered. What do you tell me?"Divorce?" Do you think it's convenient for you or your family? They still have a huge d

    "Alice!" she ran to her sister, happy to see her, hugged her, squeezing her against her. A somewhat anguished Robert approached the two, surrounding Alice by the waist to separate them, considering that Mary was squeezing her a little."Don't squeeze it too much." He asked. Mary lowered her arms from her sister and greeted Robert, just as happy to see him. How are you, Mary?"Since when have you been so delicate or careful?""Since always," he replied, surrounding Alice's belly. "Now more."I'm pregnant," little Alice told her sister.Mary Jane put her hands to her mouth, unable to stop the surprise that came to her with the news."What a joy!" Now I understood Robert's precautions, although they were still exaggerated. "Another baby. Congratulations to both of you, I see that you don't waste your time.Alice took her sister's hand, taking her to the car, gave her a second hug and a kiss.Robert entered the suitcase and the two of them were talking."How are you?"

    He entered his son's room, he was asleep, the suitcase was already at the door.He kissed his forehead and went towards the door, giving him one last look."I'll be back in four days," he said, it didn't matter if Andy wasn't listening to her.He left the room, turning off the ceiling light and only leaving the one on the bedside table.At the exit door was Jeremy with his arms crossed.I knew Mary Jane's plans and no matter how much it bothered her, I couldn't stop her from doing anything. She was there by her own decision. And for his son.But, despite the fact that in those months Jeremy had tried some things for them to make the passes, Mary Jane did not forgive him for blackmailing her with her son, and only words passed."Mary, will you really leave?" She made a lump in her throat, afraid that she wouldn't come back, that she wouldn't care about either of them."Four days, Jeremy. It's only four days."But... we can go with you."It's Robert and Alice's opening party. It goes wi

Their father had abandoned them, their mother had died, years later they learn that their father had also died and as if they were not many misfortunes, they are left without money.

    "I don't know what you did to make things happen like this. Maybe you didn't do anything and it was due to Alice. I'm here to tell you myself. Thanks to you... Bethany won't pay for what she did to my sister. I don't blame you for what Bethany did, but I thought you would at least like her to pay for the damage done to my sister. I don't even know how I could think that, when it's clear that if you kept the secret it was because you weren't interested in anything that happened to Charisse. And, even after this, you served to make her leave unscathed. I admit that this is not the first time I have been disappointed in you, but I thought you appreciated my sister, Robert. I don't know why I'm still waiting for something from you, when you let me see over and over again what you are."Jared, I didn't do anything so that Bethany wasn't convicted."Your damn name could not be mentioned at the trial! You knew what Bethany did. You were his fucking accomplice!"He wasn't his accomplice!"And

I could overlook the fact that you try to kill someone else.It was Robert's fault! You know I wanted to leave me, I told you a million times."And I told you not to insist on him, because the poor man put up with you a lot. What does Robert have to do with all this? You ran over her with clear intentions of killing her. I have talked to the lawyer and... we have to try to reach an agreement."I'm sorry, Dad." He looked down. "But Jared is no longer the starved man of before."What do you mean?" Do you think we can't reach an agreement?

    The news had been watered like wildfire between the Taylor sisters.Sofia and Loren tried to call Alice, but she turned off her cell phone so she didn't hear from anyone.Quite stressed that she was after knowing that Robert kept a secret of that magnitude, that he interacted with Bethany even after that, that he knew what she was capable of and let him approach him again, even close to her son.The nerves did not abandon her, while she thought that another more serious thing could have happened against her or her child from Bethany to have felt jealous, if she acted in that impulse driven by jealousy.She kept thinking about bad things and horrible scenarios that were no longer capable of happening, but her thoughts betrayed her and Bethany Walton didn't leave her mind.Are you going to involve Robert?
