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
"How little was a life worth?Bethany had covered all the medical expenses of the young Charisse.Jared, who only had her, lost his life, while his friend supported him at that time, but what else could they do when Charisse's life hung by a thread?Jared felt that he was losing everything when his sister went into a coma.Her world was destroyed, because the only one who supported it was her.She was his reason for being, his reason for living and that was taken away from her. He cried so much on Robert's shoulder that the first few nights that was the only way Jared closed his eyes, when he fell asleep while crying.There was no good news, there was no news.That afternoon Beth arrived with an exaggerated dress, with colors that stood out and the fabric that was scarce on her body, during the first week she remained calm, without her presence overwhelming Robert.But he had already let him have his mourning, the party had to start again, he didn't do all that so that now Robert want
The driver had decided to take the young woman to a hospital because he did not know how to help her, on the way he called his brother to warn him of the situation, but Jared had already finished his work, he would be back home, so he met them halfway.Charisse had entered a kind of crisis that was only calming down when she saw her brother. He sheltered in his safe arms, breathing normally, the images of that day did not leave his mind, they were in every blink, every time he closed his eyes, at all times, he saw them, her voice, her image, her face. The sound of the car when accelerating and the fear that reached his bones.She carried her sister in her arms back to her room, she wanted to leave her on the bed, but Charisse was still too scared."Don't let me go, Jared. Please. Don't let me go."I'm by your side, nothing is going to happen to you. I need you to tell me where you went and why you are like this. What happened?"It's... Robert's birthday. I wanted to bring him a gift.
"It must be a mistake," said Alice, after trying to separate Robert and Jared from that fight, both thrown on the floor, with their bodies sweaty and agitated. Luckily neither of them had been injured and did not go beyond struggles and each avoiding each other's fist. Alice wasn't very convinced, but she didn't want to side with Jared, despite the fact that Robert's expression already said a lot. You can't leave on Robert without knowing what's going on, Jared. What are those ways to fix things? Please, this is not the way."Alice, I want you to stay out of this issue, because it's none of your business. It's about Robert, my sister, Bethany and I. "Stay out," Jared asked. He felt a little nervous because Robert was still silent.In his heart he wanted Robert not to know anything, that it was a mistake, a mistake, as Alice said, because the betrayal would be very great, that the person who was so present for years in his life and his sister knew who was the culprit and did not say an
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? It was one of the questions that Alice asked herself, holding herself so as not to call Jared and keep asking him to please leave Robert out of everything.And it stopped.Because he w
