—Are you all right?—Yes," I wave a smile. I feel my cell phone start to vibrate, when I see who the call was from my smile disappears and the wound opens so wide I feel like my heart is dying —I am.Somehow, I managed to get this part—time job and get my boss at Clark Industries to let me leave early, of course, if he has any pending, I have to do it from my room, my home, is the agreement he gave me and I accepted.I never thought I would meet him in this place and much less that I would know in reality what he really thought or felt, listening to his words was like worse than the impact of a bullet and I don't say it literally since as a child I suffered an accident and a bullet went through my leg, it was painful... but I think now I prefer that pain than the edge of his words.Somehow I got involved with Lucas again since after we talked, my father called me and told me that he was invited to a family dinner, it's as if fate... had everything prepared for me to give him a chance
My heart was in my throat, it was about to burst out of my mouth when I feel his breath collide against my breath, courage was slipping away from me and I must not let him always get away with it.—What's the matter, mouse got your tongue?—Fuck you. —I spat angrily. —You better stop meddling in my life. You said it yourself, what happened between us... it was just a fling. You enjoyed it and so did I. But that's in the past so stop interfering.—When it comes to my son and his safety, I will always interfere.I scoff since so far I see that you care about him. Lucas comes in asking if everything was in order but when he saw that nothing was right he asked me to leave the office.—Who do you think you are fooling? If you were so concerned about your son's welfare, you wouldn't keep looking for me after that damn night. You're only doing this because you didn't want me to be alone with him," I laughed bitterly, "You didn't want us to have sex.When the expression on his face changes ra
—Yes," said Dad. Victor leads us to the dining room, to slow his steps and suddenly I felt the brush of his hand with mine causing my attention to be on him. He smiles cheekily at me and of course my skin instantly burned —Maya?I sat down next to dad and in no time lunch was served, my father looked too serious watching Lucas' family.—I hope they like seafood....—No," Dad said, interrupting Lucas' mother, "We hate seafood.—Of course. I guess on your ranch you're just used to eating eggs..... The common stuff and they don't know how good seafood is."Ayyy shit!"My father observes Lucas' stepfather who as usual doesn't know how to measure his tongue when speaking, idiot.—Just because my family has different tastes than your family doesn't mean we know what's good. And that ranch... the one you call it as if it were a garbage dump is the one that produces the wheat so that your family can taste the bread.—Dad... stop it.—Sir... my husband didn't mean to be rude...—But he was. —D
—Mey!I was still waiting for an answer from him, but he just looks at nothing without erasing that exquisitely perfect smile, I'm afraid his words are empty, so I go to my mother's phone calls.—And would you be willing to give up everything for me? —I stop my pacing and turn to look at him —Come on, tell me.—You know you don't need to ask me because you already know the answer.He tilts his head back as his smile grows, walks up to me and looks at me like I'm heaven itself, something I've never seen in anyone before, "or he just knows how to pretend perfectly.—You know that if we want that, you must abandon my son, end this relationship that makes no sense since not even your father accepts it. —When he mentions Lucas, a huge weight falls on my shoulders out of nowhere, "Yes, I was afraid of that," he looks straight ahead and frowns, "I'll give you enough time to think about it.My lips couldn't move and give him an immediate answer as guilt reminded me that it was myself who gave
The memories torment me, "more than I imagined", I haven't heard anything from the Santoro's again, "ironic that I keep thinking that he would look for me" it's so stupid to think that for a moment I got the idea that I was important to him.Lucas... he didn't even have the courage to come back to look for me, "I tilted a smile" even now he is the one who evades me all the time since we have one or another class together, but I guess it's better for me since I don't want to have any relationship with any of them.—I need you to bring me the contracts for the new clients. —I was so immersed in my thoughts that I didn't realize my boss was watching me —Mey?—Ah? —Seeing him with his arms crossed I got embarrassed —I'm sorry, I .... Yes, I'll take them right away, Mr. Clark.He looks at me curiously, but stops when his phone started ringing. He took the call and walked into his office. I sigh in relief as if that wasn't enough, lately he has also been different, bossy and very annoying,
I lean back on my seat and try to get as far away from him as I can but I tilt my head back when I feel his grip on my arm.—I need to talk to you.—Mr. Santoro, do you want an appointment with Mr. Clark? If so, I'm sorry to tell you that his schedule is full for the next few months.—You know very well what I want to talk about.—I'm sorry but I don't know what you are talking about, now if you allow me I must leave since my boss is waiting for me. —I feel the grip on my arm intensify —Can you let go.—No.I yelled at him to let me go but he didn't, I don't know what the hell he is thinking of doing this in front of his employees since there were several watching us too closely, even Erika who didn't take her eyes off us until Victo locked the door.—What the hell is wrong with you?!—We're going to talk whether you want to or not.—I have nothing to talk to you about, so leave me alone. —Why don't you just leave me alone! Go find your ex—wife and have sex all you want, leave me alon
Of course I wouldn't give him a chance, he failed me and I'm not going to believe in any of them again, although it's logical that Lucas won't look for me again since it would be the last straw if he did, the roses of my favorite color was a huge merit, but even so I wouldn't fall into his games, I'm sick of it and I want him to understand it and leave me alone "although inside I want to keep on insisting".As the days went by I didn't get a single sign from him again, it's as if he stopped bothering me at last "I was supposed to want that, but now I'm not sure about that anymore."—Thinking again. —I almost die of fright when I see my boss watching me too closely —You know overthinking can be exhausting for the body.—It's impossible for me not to, classes, job one and two....—You can take the day off if you want.—Really? —I said in disbelief.—Of course. —looks at the time on her cell phone —But I have one condition. —That didn't please me anymore. —You accept an invitation to din
I woke up confused, seeing myself surrounded by darkness, I sat on the edge of my bed while I took a deep breath as it was just a dream what had happened, "a horrible dream really it was" married to Victor, god, that man really has me crazy.I got out of bed and looked for the switch to turn on the light "shit!" A screech escapes my lips as my nose hits something hard, I touch with my hands what was in front of me and from the shape I deduced it was a closet "What, a closet here?.I looked for my cell phone but I couldn't see anything, something illuminated the room, a small glow so I ran towards it and took my cell phone to use the flashlight.—But what?When I saw the cell phone and detailed it with my eyes I realized it was not mine, it had the wallpaper that comes with a new cell phone, "but what the hell is going on! When I saw the door I left the room and I was speechless when I saw that I was in a house I didn't know, it wasn't Lucas' house and it wasn't Victor's apartment eith
—Have you gone mad? Your daughter is in the back and...—Shut up, damn you, if you had never shown up in our lives!—Don't look for blame," said Victor, shutting her up, "Our relationship was beyond repair and you know it.—No... —she denies with her head crying —There was hope for us, but you never wanted to forgive me and instead you cheated me with this little dead fly, you... you were unfaithful to me and even so I forgave you, but you... you only caused me pain by making me believe that you would give me a chance and then... you tell me that you love her. And I won't accept that.A scream escapes me as she shoots towards my feet, my instinct is to protect the children and Victor steps in front of us.—Oops... I missed. But it won't happen again and I don't care if I have to kill you first, love.—Wait! —Victor shouted, stopping her, "Wait! You're right... I didn't think about your feelings and the good times we had together...—Victor, what are you doing?He ignores me and approa
MEYSometimes circumstances are not what we expect to realize how valuable what we have by our side can be, that's what happened to me when I was about to lose Victor in that attack against me, what bothers me the most is that this woman doesn't even think about the damage she causes to her daughter, Laura is just a little girl who only wants her mother's love but it seems that she doesn't care at all about her daughter but about her crazy obsession for Victor, which by the way, I never thought was so huge.—Ready for your wedding?—Yes. —I look at Laura who looked beautiful in that white dress, she would wear my veil but she doesn't look very happy —Laura... —she startles when she looks at me —Are you ok?—Yes, yes, yes... I'm fine.Remorse blames me as I thought there would be no one opposing the wedding and I think she maybe wished her parents were together, so I told her if she didn't want me to marry her father to tell me so we would cancel everything in time, I don't want her to
VICTORI never thought I would be able to risk my life for someone else, but when I saw that I was about to lose her, my body moved to take her place, after that, everything became black and cold but that disappeared when I heard her voice telling me that she wouldn't let me go, that I would be okay.Everything became warm after hearing his voice telling me that. I felt something was causing weight on my hands making me open my eyes, when I did, I could see Lucas sleeping next to his mother, I couldn't move my hands let alone my neck and when I tried to make a move I moaned slightly in pain making everyone wake up.—Dad!I heard all my children calling me in chorus, Lucas reacts quickly when he sees them hug me tightly and tells them that they can't do it for now because of my condition, I ask him what had happened and he told me what had happened and that I almost died.—If it wasn't for Mey... we would have lost you.—What?... but how?—She explained everything, and she went against
When the ambulance came for him I had to say I was a doctor so they would let me accompany him, I checked and did all the evaluations until we got to the hospital, when we arrived, they told me they would keep him stable while they do the corresponding tests, when I went to the waiting room, my friend and Lucas were already there when they saw me I saw that my children were also with them, there was also Lucas's mother, my parents and Victor's father, an old man with a cane.—How is my dad?—They are doing the exams now....—Please, Mey... —lucas takes my hand —Please... don't let him die.—How could I —My heart breaks into pieces at the thought that the possibility of him dying exists —He is the love of my life and the father of my children.—Mommy.... —my children were crying —Save my daddy.I hug my children, they were happy because they were with their father and now this happened. I don't know who could be capable of this, but I know very well that he wanted to kill me, if it was
—You thought I would forget your birthday, didn't you? —I just stare at him in disbelief that he remembered. My heart thumps in my chest uncontrollably. This is more than I expected. —Every year since you've been gone I've always wondered if you were celebrating with someone else.—You brought me here by trickery. That's playing dirty.He grabs me possessively with a very sensual smile.—I don't always play fair.—Ha ha. —I said sarcastically.We sat on the meza and enjoyed our dinner, we didn't talk much as it was strange, well, in my point of view it is and I don't know what to say because actually, I'm surprised and nervous, I don't know what to say.I was finishing my dinner when he hands me a small box, I frowned as it reminded me of the one he once gave me that I thought was a gift from Clark. I was compelled to take it as he said it was one of my birthday gifts.Seeing the ring I was overwhelmed and nostalgic, it's the ring he gave me. "I thought I threw it in the trash."—It w
Things seem calm, for now, since what happened at the hotel, I woke up alone with him in the room, he was awake, Clark was gone, things didn't turn out as I expected and I couldn't stop what happened because I challenged him myself and he agreed, but he was frank in saying he would never do that again, and that he hoped after what happened he would believe in his feelings for me.He gave me a week to think about his proposal, a chance for us to be the family we always wanted, it has been four days since then, he hasn't shown up, not even to see my twins, as far as I understand he looks at them when Lucas takes them to live with his daughter.The only thing I know about Clark is that he went on a long trip, I wanted to talk to him because I felt we should talk about what happened, but his answer was simple "it is better to forget about it" and the last thing he said was that he already had an answer for both of us and about my doubts which I still had during the time I lived in Europe.
—I promise it won't happen.He looks unsure of my words, closes his eyes and thinks about it for a few seconds, then he stares at me and frowns, when he shakes his head in acceptance I smile nervously and take his hand promising him that I owed him a favor, but he makes it clear that everything is my responsibility, everything that happens will be my responsibility and I said yes.I know very well that he will not wait for it and that he will say no believing that it would be a threesome of two girls with him, so it will be enough to keep him away from me for a while, he believes that because my children accepted it he has hopes for me and tonight when he says no... it will be a proof of what I say.I had arranged everything for tonight, I lied to my parents by telling them I would stay late working and probably wouldn't arrive until the next morning, it's been three days since I talked it over with Clark so in order for him not to know who I was I would wear a mask, well we would all
I was about to make a mistake if it wasn't because Adriel left his room, right now I wouldn't stop thinking that I was his again "thank heaven it didn't happen" but I feel overwhelmed, too overwhelmed, exaggerated and I don't know how to get out of my head the stupidity I proposed to Victor, he didn't stop calling me until I answered him by a message and he told me that he would do anything to make me trust him againIt was a tempting offer that he left still in disbelief, I thought he would say no because he is too selfish with sharing what he thinks belongs to him so I wildly told him that if he really "loved" me as he said he would accept my terms for me to trust him and the first thing that came to my mind was to tell him... "a threesome" "God... even my face burns remembering I told him that".Yes, I told him that and I was hoping he wouldn't accept because I know him too well and he is very selfish and territorial, but when he sent me a yes answer, I was so taken aback that I di
—Happy Birthday. —He hands them a small gift but they both stand still and just stare at him —They're upset with me....Out of nowhere they threw themselves at him and hid their faces in his shoulder while sobbing they mumble "daddy" my heart grew small because I didn't realize how cruel I was all these years to keep my children separated from their fatherAll the guests applauded for the touching family reunion, we had to wait for them to return as they didn't want to be separated from their father, Victor took them away from the crowd and stayed with them making me feel like some kind of villain.—Are you all right my friend?—No, I'm not. —I never thought they would miss him so much... I was so cruel because of my selfishness and didn't think they deserved to be with him.—Someday they will understand, you will be able to tell them the reason for this and they will know how to understand you.She hugs me to calm me down but I couldn't do it until Laura came closer to us, she tried
