"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
He was facing his father.The man kept wondering how it was that he was wrong in so many things.She was an adult woman, who had wasted her life in multiple ways, but this was one of the worst.There was an attack on someone else's life."Bethany, I've given you everything, I've consented to everything, but never... 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? A good financial compensation, after all she didn't die, did she?"He's the CEO of all Taylor companies, Dad. I think that financial compe
"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
He didn't know that he wanted to leave or that he needed it, until his brother made the mention of leaving that place.Although the word "abandon" was not to Charisse's liking, because it made her nostalgic. 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. But luckily Jared finished his university studies and was able to get a good job at Graham Group, the rest that happened did not exist in Charisse's mind, because she was in a coma, she did not know the course that Jared's life took or his friendship with Robert.But leaving that place seemed very sad to him, until he was on the plane.If she looked back, it was not only a relief for her to be moving away from all that, it was also a relief for Jared to be able to leave, to do it with his sister.According to his memories, it was the first time he boarded a plane, because the two times he came to do it
