Abby began to search for the money in her wallet, with each new search she found a bill, she was too disorganized, that's why her wallet was always a mess. She arranged the bills by denomination and counted them under Lynda's watchful eye, but Lynda noticed the worried look on her friend's face.

"What's wrong Abby, is there a problem?" the younger girl asked, wondering if she should tell her the truth.

The money wasn't enough to cover the expenses, it would barely cover a fifth of what was surely owed. She wanted to deny that there was a problem, but Lynda's suspicious look wouldn't let her.

"Don't try to hide it, I appreciate all the support, really, you are the only stable thing in my life, without you I would feel completely abandoned, but I know, we don't have the money to pay for medical expenses, do we?"

"Don't worry, I'm going to talk to the administration, we'll give some of the credit, we'll ask them to give us a deadline to cancel, I can work some overtime at my job to cove

    Lynda watched her friend who seemed to have had her tongue eaten by the mice, she was undaunted as if she had suffered a great impression, she did not even blink, her mouth was slightly open, she did not react even when Leonard, with a strange expression on his face, looked at her from head to toe, but he was too polite to show exactly the impression the girl had given him."Excuse me sir, these young ladies were determined to speak to you, they wanted to force their way in, when I prevented them, they behaved in a rude and haughty manner," the woman revealed, trying to justify the disturbance of a moment ago."Don't worry, Mrs. Deborah, the ladies are my acquaintances, I will take care of them, no problem." However, the woman's gesture showed clear signs of annoyance as she hoped her argument would convince her boss to side with her in the end, but it did not, he invited her into the office.Lynda walked into the office with her friend, at the same time she was afraid to make her rea

    Christian held her in his arms, he couldn't help but feel her floral scent, he sighed, impregnating himself with that scent, at the same time searching for a way to control the growing emotions provoked by her closeness. Meanwhile, she felt agitated, especially as her heart began to pound like a noisy locomotive out of control."Excuse me, I didn't see you," she exclaimed nervously and put her hands on the man's chest, pushing him a little to free herself from his grip, although inside she wanted to stay protected in his arms forever, it was crazy, these thoughts, they had no reason to be. Not when she barely knew him, and all thanks to the accident."I see this is a habit with you, running around and bumping into people, if not with your car, then with your body, but apparently this is your favorite pastime," he pointed out in a stern tone of voice, used to simulate how he felt when she was around.Lynda didn't move, she didn't say anything, their eyes met, for seconds they remained

"Is that you?"The woman reached up and tenderly caressed his face."My beautiful, sweet Lyn, my beloved child," the young woman cried at the sight of her, hugging her tightly and not wanting to let go."I'm so sorry mommy, I didn't mean to..." she tried to speak, she wanted to apologize for what had happened, but her mot

    The two girls were thrown out that day by Mrs. Seferina without mercy, throwing some things they had with them into the dining room, to the opposition of Abby, who tried to go back in to get her things and indignantly claimed the woman's bad action."You can't do this! It's an injustice, I paid you the rent for the room on time, and besides, my things are in there, you can't just come in and take them."Abby shouted incessantly."I'm going to report you for your wrongdoing, I'm going to bring the full weight of the law down on you, you can't go through life abusing people like this, because sooner or later you're going to get what you deserve."Pronounced the girl with a changed voice, her cheeks red product of anger and trying to control her temper because it provoked her to grab the old woman by the bun and drag her out into the street so people could see what kind of wretch she was."Do what you want, but look how I am shaking with fear from your threats," the woman said, shaking h

    When she left the room, she expected to meet no one, but not even in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that she would meet none other than the man to whom her thoughts had belonged from the moment he saw her.She could not help the excitement of her heart, which was pumping so hard that for a moment she thought it might burst through the walls of her chest and fall to the ground. He felt an inexplicable pleasure just looking at every facet of his face; he had never had the opportunity to study a man's face so closely and in such detail, as if it had been carved by God himself.Everything about him was perfect, his nose, his mouth, his two thick lips invited her to place her lips upon them, she shuddered just imagining the effect they would have on her body, she had never seen anything so perfect, but her excitement was diminished when she saw his frown and a gesture of annoyance that produced a small wrinkle at the beginning of the septum of his nose, which was confirmed when

    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.

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 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

    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

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

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

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 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?
