Jonás entered the facilities of the Goldman Emporium, he could not stop admiring the luxury of the thirty-story building, with a neoclassical style, with high quality finishes, decorated in light colors, white marble floors veined with different shades of gray, with a double facade, one inside with thermal panels and the other outside with vegetation, turning it into a vertical garden on the outside.He announced himself at the entrance and immediately a member of his security team took him to the elevator, where he waited until it was available, the elevator operator received him and took him to the headquarters of the consortium, located on the thirtieth floor, just like two days ago, he was taken to the meeting room surrounded by glass walls, where he had the slight impression of being observed.And so it was, behind one of the glass walls, Christian stood watching him, satisfied to have him where he had always wanted him, a mixture of anger at seeing his face and joy at what he wa
Jonah stared at the determination in Christian, he was afraid to upset him and lose what he had just achieved, he felt sorry for Lynnet but there was nothing he could do for her. This man is not easy to handle,' he said to himself, so he had no choice but to accept his decision."All right, if it's my daughter Lynda you want to meet, then it'll be her," he said, not satisfied that he couldn't insist.Minutes later, he was surprised to see a document appear in front of his eyes, and as he read it, he realized that it was a marriage contract. He did not give it much importance, because after all it would be Lynda who would have to fulfill it, the marriage was only for one year and she could not get pregnant, if she did, the divorce would be immediate, she would lose any pension and compensation payments, and with the dissolution of the marriage bond, she would have to give up all her rights to her child and give it to the father. "At what point did you do this?" he could not help but a
Lynnet was surprised by her own reaction, but she could not contain the words that came out of her mouth without realizing it, for a few seconds she had a bl6ckout, forgetting where and to whom she was talking.When she saw the blood drain from her father's face and for a moment it looked like he was about to collapse, she knew she should take back her words, she had gone too far. Inwardly he reproached himself for such carelessness, he tried to find a way to justify his attitude, but since he could think of nothing in his mind, he turned to the most effective resource, tears, he began to cry, covering his face, while his voice came out as a lament of regret."Oh daddy! I'm sorry, I never thought I would talk to you like this, please forgive me, even though I'm sure I can't forgive myself, I'm so nervous.”Lynnet searched for a way to apologize to her father."Understand me, I care about you, about me, about our future, I have to guarantee it, that's why I had illusions about marrying
Christian went down in the private elevator of his office and arrived at the lobby of the building, where he observed the woman with the same aspect as the girl he liked, but this one was haughty, rude, while the other was simple, shy. This one was fighting with one of the guards, threatening to hit him while he covered his face to avoid the attack."You F4cking bastard! Do you know who I am? I'm the future wife of Christian Goldman, your boss, and when I get married, the first thing I'm going to do is fire all of you bastards!" she snapped angrily.Just as she raised her hand to slap the man in the face, Christian came to her side and stopped her, grabbing her hand."Don't you dare touch him! Because you'll regret it! Who the hell do you think you are, coming into my company to make scandals and mistreat my staff?" he said with a cold voice. The girl was furious the moment she felt her hand being held, but when she heard that voice, she felt her skin crawl, and when she turned aroun
Lynda arrived at the premises of the Goldman Business Emporium, a rather luxurious building and one of the most impressive in the city, but she did not have the opportunity to observe the lobby as they entered through the underground parking lot.They immediately made their way to the service elevator, along with their other all-female companions."Are you one of the new girls?" The young woman replied, shaking her head in the affirmative."We are at your service, anything you need do not hesitate to come to me and I will help you, by the way try to keep a low profile, the CEO of this company is a despot, the less you see him the better, his office you must clean only when he is not there and first check his absence, he regularly leaves for an hour at noon, so you must calculate your time and take just enough, not a minute more.""I understand," Lynda replied, hanging on his every word, but she couldn't help the feeling of unease that was beginning to creep up on her.The girl watche
Lynda stood and watched him, feeling a mixture of bewilderment and joy at his reaction, no one had ever had that towards her, the slightest hint of possessiveness and the realization that she inspired that feeling in a man like him, made her smile excitedly, but Christian misinterpreted that smile; having only known manipulative women, he did not understand, or rather, he did not know the different nature of the young woman."Do you enjoy making me jealous?" She raised her eyebrows at his question. "Of course, all women want that, to fool a man, to drive him mad, and when they have him at their mercy, to use him and discard him to find a new victim," he expressed thoughtfully, as memories of his mother and how she had behaved with his father came to his mind.A grimace of disgust crossed his face as he thought that if Lyn was the daughter of such a despicable being as Jonas and had such a nasty sister as Lynda, why on earth should she be any different from them if she had the bad bloo
The woman turned pale when she saw Goldman's CEO himself standing in front of her, demanding action against the cleaning woman."Excuse me, sir," she stammered, barely containing her nerves. "It was an accident; I was just reaching for the trash can and I dropped it.""Do you take me for an idiot?" he inquired indignantly. "I saw enough to know what happened, first you tripped her on the wet floor, then you threw a glass of water at her and claimed it was an accident, and when you saw that she didn't flinch at your behavior, it annoyed you and you ended up emptying the basket."The woman pretended to defend herself, but Christian was so angry he wouldn't let her."Pick up your things and you have exactly," he looked at the watch on his wrist. "Three minutes, not one more, not one less, to leave this building, otherwise you will have to suffer the consequences, and I assure you that with me they will not be pleasant, because if he hasn't deduced them yet, you are fired!"At these last
Christian couldn't help but feel this fear running through him, like an invisible enemy capable of neutralizing him and turning his world upside down, that's how it was when his father died, he felt alone, abandoned, because only he had been there to take care of him, to play, to talk, they had so much fun together, it was the only paternal love he received.His mother was the eternal absentee, she was almost never there, she had no interest in taking care of him and establishing a bond with a little b0y like him. She rarely received any affection from him, she was hard, she showed no empathy, his father always justified her by telling him that he should understand her because she was a very young woman who had to be a mother and a wife at a young age, she had not lived some stages of her life and that is why she behaved that way.He did not understand everything that was happening to her, although he knew and felt that everything was going so fast, like a derailed train; because it w
Christian EvansThe sky was deep blue, no clouds in sight, the sun was shining, reflecting on the green grass, the people in their finery stood out brightly, like a beacon under the sun, dresses and jackets coated in a golden glow, and the wind is fair, it was like a gentle caress on the face.I feel the green scent of the earth soaking the air like a sponge, filling my nostrils with a rich aroma. The air smelled of warm summer breezes, fresh spring grass, the incense of a hundred thousand prayers, the flowers of the city gardens, and new hopes.People were laughing and chatting happily, their eyes fixed on the balcony of the Royal House where Lynda and I, the new rulers of Balaica, would soon appear.To say that I am not nervous would be a lie... but at the same time it is an indescribable feeling... neither of us expected such an outcome, nor so much responsibility, but together there is no burden we cannot carry, and I will be by my wife's side to help her along the way.The anxiet
Lynda Skarosky I left the hospital with mixed emotions, I knew how bad Jonah Jonhson had been to me in the past, but I couldn't shake this feeling of sadness, dozens of questions came to my mind Could we have had a different life? What if my mother hadn't died? Would Jonah have changed? If he had paid more attention to me, would I have become another Lynnet? I couldn't help but sigh as we drove back because there were no more answers to these questions. Christian took my hand and stroked it gently, I know he was also imagining different scenarios, because one of the people Jonas had hurt the most, apart from me and even Lynnet herself, had been him and his father. "My dear, don't martyr yourself anymore... there are situations that we can't solve... let's leave the past there and continue on our way... what we have lived through will serve us as an experience, besides, both the good and the bad experiences have helped us to be what we are today," Christian told me and he was right
One month laterChristian EvansI entered the luxurious building where the former Goldman transnational company operated, located in the financial district of the city of Vancal, capital of Balaica Island, because I had changed its name to Goldman Evans Economic Consortium, I did not suppress the old name because I had to take it in honor of the only person who trusted me and gave me his support, and that thanks to him I could be what I was today, my mentor, we hoped to contribute as a company to the growth of the island and promote the tourism sector.When people saw me, they stopped immediately, it had always been like that, because I was a man who inspired strength, except for those years when he wanted to punish me, but those were left behind and thanks to the love that Lynda and I had for each other, now ended up being overcome. As for my wife, she was about to receive the crown, the coronation ceremony was scheduled in a few days and that made her nervous, I supported her in ev
Christian GoldmanWhen I saw Leonard, I didn't think he would be able to face Salvatore and the press and confess what he had done, but he did, and in that moment, I felt compassion for him."I was the one who carried out a series of acts against Christian, starting with showing him Lynda's supposed body, making him believe she was dead and taking him away from her even when I saw him broken," he paused as we all stood in silence. "We put together a case to frame Christian and put him in jail for his wife's supposed death.Leonard's expression was one of sadness, his eyes were lost on the floor and his voice sounded broken."He lost her, he went to jail, I made his life a hell, I was the only one responsible for his misfortune, I wanted to destroy him... although in my favor I must say I thought I did not love her... I was angry for everything I had done to her, she is my blood, my niece, my sister's daughter, whom I loved so much, and that life did not take her away and did not know
Lynda SkaroskyWhen I saw them, I could not help but feel fear, especially my uncle Salvatore, I knew he was capable of doing anything for institutionalism and at that moment I was about to harm the crown, my body trembled with fear when he approached me and said in a whisper that I could only hear."Let's talk and come to an agreement...you cannot destroy the hopes of this country...even your mother sacrificed herself for the crown, do you want to make everything she did in vain?""Prince Salvatore, how good that you are here, I don't know if you don't know what is happening or if you are a participant in this plot against my legitimate wife," my husband spoke firmly, so that everyone murmured with a surprised expression."You are mistaken, Mr. Goldman, I am the lawful husband of Princess Lynda Skarosky. The whole country witnessed our marriage a few days ago. What are you trying to do with this lie?" the man said, looking at him with contempt. "You were married, to Lynnet Johnson, a
Christian Goldman "Thanks, I'll see you back at the house," I said, ending the call.When we got to the mainland, I didn't want to ask the boys to look for us, I was afraid they were being watched and would end up catching us. I helped Lynda cover her hair so she couldn't be identified."You have to be careful, there are crown guards everywhere...they are looking for you, Princess," the man said and I felt my wife's body tense under my hand.The man realized we were worried because he had just recognized her and shook his head."I am not an enemy...I am an ally, and my loyalty is always with you, Princess," the man said, and the sincerity in his words was palpable."Thank you," I replied. "I just want you to watch the press conference we have this afternoon and tell as many people as you can...they will know today the reasons the princess had for running away."After saying goodbye, we walked about two kilometers from where the boat dropped us off to where we were to take the cab, lu
Christian GoldmanI don't know how long I slept, I only felt the room getting dark, I woke up startled at first, thinking it was just a dream, but when I looked to the side, I saw them both sleeping and my heart jumped with joy in my chest, I couldn't help but smile. I got up, being careful not to wake them, took a shower and went to the kitchen to make them something to eat, not without first picking up the sheets and all the things I had washed.As I did so, I could not help but approach the golden angel flower... and I smiled to myself, perhaps I had been very skeptical before, but at that moment there was no trace of that characteristic left in me, because when the gentleman who brought me to the island told me the legend of the flower and said I could make a wish on it, I asked for my wife and family back and there it was.I stood there for a moment, sniffing the fragrant scent of the sea, closing my eyes and letting the wind blow in my face, when suddenly I felt a delicate body
Christian GoldmanI hugged her tightly and did not want to let go, my heart full of love and happiness. I felt alive again, as if I had been reborn. Everything I had suffered all these years was erased in an instant when I saw her again. We gave each other a long, sweet kiss, savoring every moment as if it were our last. I couldn't believe she was back with me and vowed never to leave her side again."I love you Lynda, you have no idea how much," I took her hand and held it to my chest so she could feel my heart beating for her."I love you too," she said and began to work her hand through the buttons of my shirt, caressing my chest. I held her hand for a moment to stop her from continuing, and she looked at me with confused eyes."Why are you stopping me?" she asked and for a moment I was embarrassed to answer her, for a moment I tried to turn my face away and she held it for me."What's happening is that..." I hesitated, took a deep breath and answered her. "I'm not the man I used
Christian Goldman"Tell me Christian, do you agree with my plan? Will you help me face them?" asked Lynda, looking at me with a hopeful expression,"What's your plan?" I asked without taking my eyes off her with the same intensity of her gaze."I've got two, but I need your opinion," she asked as we walked to the kitchen to make them something to eat, because although she hadn't told me, they were surely hungry."Which ones are they?" I asked and she answered immediately."One, I should go back to them and let them think I've just been hanging around since I found out about my son and try to undermine them from the inside," she hadn't finished before I stopped her."No, I don't agree with that plan, because I'm not going to lose them again when I just got them back... What's the other one?" I asked firmly without realizing it, and she raised her eyebrows in surprise."Wow, you go right to paper," she protested, referring to my attitude, and I ignored her words."What's the other plan?
