—Hey Mey... —my co—worker looks at me and then at him —Everything is in order?

—Perfectly.

I walked to the door, but he tells me we're not done talking yet, but I didn't want to keep talking to someone who forced me to get married to begin with and now he says I'm causing him problems when I never asked him to make me his wife, I didn't even want to.

As I left after closing, I thought he would be waiting for me, but he was not. "What did I think, he would beg me" for my sake he better have taken off so I won't have to bother dealing with him after a long and tedious day.

I feel a vibration in my pants bag, pulling out my cell phone I saw Clark's name on the screen.

"Shall we go out for a while?"

—Wow, finally you show up.

I look at what is supposed to be my space, I put my cell phone away seeing that there was something different, but when I check meticulously I realize that my things were gone. There was only a box, when I opened it I saw my furry cushion inside it. I left it next to

    I stand up from my place, I laugh in disbelief at what he said as I run my right hand over my face, I ask him if it's some kind of joke, but he replies with a simple no. I've seen this before, I saw it also with an Erika relationship, the guy didn't want anyone to know about his relationship since at the end of the story is that he had another girl he was dating.—No. Ultimately that's not going to happen. Being someone's secret, never, I'd rather pretend than this.... —I think about what I'm going to say. —You force me to accept this absurd marriage and then you tell me that it's better to keep it a secret. —I was really about to explode.—If this comes out... your parents will know and all the media will want to know about you, they will follow you as if they were your shadow and I don't think you are ready for that. So it's for the best.—You think so?—Yes.I ended the conversation by making him think I had accepted his decision, I slept in another room as I was really upset that

    —So not even your son knows you've remarried, —I warn her with my eyes not to keep talking, but she just smiles as if this is what she's looking for —Well... well, I guess everyone will find out little by little.She leaves her space leaving me alone with Lucas. He reprimands me just by looking at me demanding an explanation.—Tell me you didn't do this to me," he mumbles holding back his anger, "Dad... tell me you didn't do it...".—Lucas, I don't have to give you explanations of my personal life, besides, if I did, she's free to do what she wants, after all, you screwed up with her, again. So don't want to play the martyr. Now tell me why you're here. —Her look is strange... seeing that she is hiding something behind her back, I still do it on the side. —A suitcase?—I can't stand being with my mother anymore... they threw me out of the house.—Is there something I should know?—No.I called her mother and she wouldn't tell me the reason she and Lucas argued either, she just said it

    MEYArriving at the residence, the man from before stares at me as if he and I are in trouble. He asks me for the keys but I refused to give them to him, I liked him a lot actually so I'll keep them for a while.—Oh... please ma'am, give me the keys before Mr. Santoro....—If he wants his keys, then let him ask me personally, don't worry.Entering the house and heading towards the living room, I let myself fall down as if it was my bed, the comfort was perfect in these moments in which my body was exhausted.

    "What the hell is going on?"My heart went crazy seeing them together, my chest hurt too much but I try to hold back my tears because of the hurt it's causing me, I didn't want to lower myself and make a scene so I pretended I didn't see them, for a moment I swore he had turned to look at me but I think it was just my imagination.I try to concentrate but after he came out... he didn't come back in, he had left with her, "God, why is this happening to me!" It's like my blood pressure went down, that's how I felt.—Mey, it's good to see you.—Clark..." I mumble with difficulty, "Do you need anything?—Yes look... —he looks at me curiously —Are you ok?—I'm really not. I feel like I've lost myself... I don't know.He invites me to go out for a coffee so I didn't see the problem and I accepted to go with him, feeling the fresh air outside I felt more relaxed, we didn't walk much when we found a quieter place, but, when we entered I was surprised to see that there was Victor with his ex w

As for you, from now on, you will deal only with me in any matter, you understand.—Ouch... hey....He practically threw me into the car and then got in and drove to the residence with such a sour expression that it annoyed me but at the same time made

    I guess the conversation was not what I expected, at the end she yelled at me so furious to get out, her anger was so great that I knew right away that I should leave things as far as they were, but I was clear and repeated it to her, I am not going to let her get pregnant by another man.But her answer was not what I expected, it left me even more confused since I don't understand why I continue with this farce, I should tell her the truth so that she gets out of my life and everything ends, even so I still don't tell her anything"You don't decide that, her parents decide that, not a stranger."She is definitely too haughty girl who never learned to live with rules in her life, that's why she is like this, libertine who does whatever she feels like.MEYI felt hurt really, "who expected him to say I would adopt him" even though I'm not really pregnant, it was just that I ate too much and I needed to get some of what I ingested out of my body so I did what I needed to do to throw up,

He looks at my hands and pretends it's not important "as usual" —I thought I had left it in the house. What?With a sarcastic smile I read the text his ex sent him and he looks at me as if it doesn't mean anything, making me even more angry because for me it's extremely important because I can tell he's still dying for her.He takes my cell phone and frowns, sighs frustrated while he turns his back to me as if he is trying to avoid this topic—Tell me the truth because I'm not going to be a second choice for you....—Mey —he says annoyed —I know you are very smart aren't you? —I feel he offends me with that question —A jealous ex who still wa

I was on my way to give him some contracts I wrote for him when I noticed that Erika came out of his office upset, she didn't even notice I was around.—Everything in order?—Yes," she answered sharply and that annoyed me. She stares at me for too long making me uncomfortable —Close the door please. I have something to tell you.I didn't say a word since he seemed too annoyed and today, I'm in a mood that I can't even stand myself, and it's strange since it doesn't usually happen to me only when I get my period.

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.

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

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

    —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 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
