Carlos was surprised and asked me, "Just say what you want?"

It started to snow outside. It would be my birthday in less than two months. It would then be Christmas Eve.

I didn't know if I would make it.

I frowned, smiled, and suggested, "You know I've always liked you. That's why I want you to put aside all the problems we have and date me for 6 months.

Carlos farted and answered: "Dream on, darling!

The voice on the phone was devoid of love. In the big room, loneliness hovered over me and my tears fell. My heart ached so much that I fell asleep.

I hid the sadness in my voice and said softly with a weak smile: "Carlos, you don't want to divorce me, do you? How about this?

Date me for six months and be a husband who takes care of me and cares for me. Even if you don't love me, you will have to pretend to love me deeply. If you can survive for six months, then I'll agree to divorce you. I'll even give you all my family's wealth. Think about it. Survive for six months and you can get your hands on the entire Moon family fortune. You can even marry your great love openly for six months. You have nothing to lose."

Carlos asked me with indifference, "Pretend to date you for 6 months?"

It would be a six month act and I would be the only audience.

In the end I would be lying to myself.

I said softly, "That's right. Please date me."

"Oh, you won't disgust me for six months?"

I was silent.

I watched the black car drive off in the morning leaving the mansion, I struggled to get up.

When I woke up in the morning, my head and dizzy and heavy, my throat was dry and I had trouble swallowing. I must have cried a lot last night. I got up and took the medicine that the doctor prescribed and went to do my hygiene and get ready to go to work.

Besides being Carlos' wife I am also the CEO of Moon Companies...

I was reading some documents in the office when the director of Sky Companies called.

His voice was low when he said seriously: "Did you know that Miss Michele is back from Japan? You have to keep a close eye on Carlos during this period. I will take care of the rest.

I was surprised and asked, "When did this happen?"

Mr. Sky replied, "Yesterday."

I wasn't surprised he refused my proposal, he wouldn't want to pretend to be in love with me in front of Michele.

Carlos wouldn't want her to think that he loved me.

I felt a great pain when I thought about this.

Since I won't be able to have him, the best thing is to let him go.

I smiled and said lightly. "Dad I want to get a divorce. yes that is what I called my father-in-law."

Mr. Sky stopped breathing for a few minutes and asked hesitantly. "What did you say?"

"Carlos doesn't love me. the relationship between you two also became very strained after he married me. Your relationship will probably improve after our divorce."

Mr. Sky would never agree to our divorce.

Unless:

I looked at the stock transfer document on top of mine in front of me and smiled relieved as I said. "Don't worry, I will transfer all the shares in Moon Companies to Carlos. What do you think?"

"What do I think?"

I covered my eyes that were watering, and swallowed the sadness I was feeling in my heart. Then I answered softly: "At that time, there were several families that wanted to join forces with my family through marriage. At the time I chose your family, but what did I want out of it?"

I said, mockingly, "Dad you wanted the Moon family and I just wanted him."

Mr. Sky was silent. At the end he sighed heavily.

I hung up and signed my name on the stock transfer document: Natalia Moon. I was the only person left in the Moon family since my parents passed away, and I was about to die as well.

The Moon family could only depend on Carlos Sky. Carlos is an exceptional man, besides not having enough power to protect his wife during those two years ago, he was cunning and cruel in his business dealings, he was a very determined person.

He was so powerful that his opponents were afraid of him.

After being at a disadvantage two years ago due to his lack of power, he began to accumulate a great deal. The Sky family today was powerful enough to take on the Moon family.

Even though there was loss in both families, Carlos had nothing to fear. I knew that he was waiting for an opportunity, for when he could take back control of his life that was in the hands of his father and Michele's return. He was now ready to and would go after the Moon family. Instead of watching him destroy it, I could deliver it directly into his hands.

After all, in six months there would be no one to inherit the company anyway.

After signing the transfer document, I also wrote a will.

There was only one small sentence: "Carlos I hope you have everything you want in this life.

I took the document and took it to Mr. Tulio he was my father's lawyer.

He took a quick look at the papers in surprise and then looked at the will again.

I said with a slight smile, "When I leave, Give everything to Carlos, but I hope he can speak some nice words at my wake."

Mr. Tulio looked at me sadly and asked, "Madam President what words would you like him to say?"

I casually replied, "Something affectionate."

When I met Carlos the song "love me like you do" was playing

And this was the last song my mother played for me before she died - she played the piano very well.

After leaving Mr. Tulio I called Carlos again. He answered the phone growling: Why did you call me again?

Again?

I had only called him twice this year, that included yesterday's call.

I forced a smile and asked, "Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"

He coldly replied, "No."

...

It was snowing, I reached out to grab some snowflakes. The icy sensation seemed to go straight to my heart. Suddenly I said, "I hear Michele is back in town."

Carlos cut me off coldly. "What are you going to do with her? Natalia Moon let me warn you about something, I won't leave you alone if you do anything to her!"

I wanted to tell him that I would part with him and make them happy. I wanted him to come home for dinner to discuss our divorce.

But in his heart I was always hard and cruel.

Since he thought like that about me, I'll let him continue to think like that until the end.

I said with a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes, "So are you coming home tonight?"

"Can you assure me that you won't get jealous and that you won't do anything to hurt her?"

I couldn't answer anymore...

    It had been snowing for days, the city of Seattle was bright in the light with everything covered in white snow. We stood face to face in the narrow street, his shadow stretching long and thin on the ground below us. He could have easily been mistaken for a character straight out of a cartoon. He heard what I said and was surprised, he looked at me curiously but didn't say anything as I called. He simply asked me: “Where do you live young lady?”“In the Moom family condo.”As soon as I answered, I remembered that Carlos had never been there before, so I quickly gave him the address. He gave me a wan smile and took out the scarf to wrap around my neck, his body heat still lingering.I heard her say, "Come on, I'll walk you home."His smile made him even more handsome...It looked like his eyes and eyebrows had been painted on just to increase his charisma.I walked over to walk beside him and tried to take his hand, I could tell he was a little taken aback at first but I was looking so

Even if this time is successful, I still won't have much time. Brother, my illness is much more serious than I thought.

What is the difference between you and a child? Being bullied outside and going home and complaining to your parents? You are so childish.

Carlos scolded me with a pouting face. “Battle because your body is the most important thing you have. Your hair can grow back.”He had assumed that I was afraid of becoming ugly without hair.I clung to him weakly and whispered gently. “My condition has deteriorated to a state where I cannot be saved. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life lying in a hospital bed.”Crazy to me, with watery eyes and asked. “Wait to die?”Carlos seemed very disturbed. He held out my hand and I held his hand tightly.

    That was his purpose.You were missing a kidney, so she was looking for me.I wanted to reject her, but I couldn't say those words.That was because our Moom family had taken one of her kidneys.I covered my mouth and let my tears fall without saying a word. Melaine’s clear voice was neither sad nor happy “I am suffering from kidney failure and I need a new kidney. Natália, your family took a kidney from me.”“I’m sorry,” I replied as I tried to suppress my sadness.“Natália, I know you’re sick, let’s make a deal. I will treat your illness and you give me a kidney.”If only it were that simple.How could Melaine let me leave so easily?“You don’t blame me?” I asked.“I blame it, but I want to live. Besides, what harm did it do? Natália, the ones who are wrong are the adults.”She was very frank in saying that she had blamed me.But she also said I wasn't wrong.I screamed, “Melaine”...“Natália, can you come and pick me up at the airport tonight?”Melaine asked very frankly, as if she

    A glass of cold red wine was splashed in my face. I closed my eyes tightly. And smile. After a long time. “I got so unlucky recently, always surrounded by a bunch of flies trying to find trouble with me. It’s so disgusting it makes me want to vomit!”I got up and picked up a plate of steak directly, and I threw it in her face. The sharp knife cut her forehead and bright red blood gushed from the cut, she looked at me in complete shock, as if she hadn't expected what I was going to do.I put my hand on my face and firmly warned: “Don't think I can be so unscrupulous, just because I'm not going to take it out on you! Trust me, Nancy Lima, when I decide to do it, not even your father will be able to protect you. And as for this Natália Moom...”Did she think I was scared?I was never afraid. When I was just guilty I never.But the guilt in my heart wasn't the reason she bullied me.I clearly underlined each word as she said, “She can’t defeat me.”The blood on Nancy's forehead ran down h

    Saida answered me frankly: “No.”He didn't ask me, out of curiosity, why I had vomited blood. He simply turned sideways and opened the way for me.I went out to sit on the couch and finished taking my medicine. This time, the feeling of nausea was not as intense as before.I forced myself to swallow the medicine and turned my head to see Zaidan. Still standing the same way. I asked hesitantly: “Are you going back to your city tomorrow? I can take you there in person.”“No need, Luke will come get me.”He still rejected me and I wasn't disappointed.It was just that it would be difficult for us to get back together after this separation.I lay down on the couch to rest. Zaidan suddenly appeared and sat down next to me. I asked, surprised: “Aren’t you going to sleep?”He explained: “I'm not sleepy and Luke's almost here.”“Then I’ll sleep in my room.”As soon as I stood up, Zaidan shouted, “Girl.”I looked at him with a confused look and asked, “What happened?”“You can let me know if y

    Zaidan already considered me a woman who dated different types of men. He even thought I had many partners.And he thought I approached them because of the money.He couldn't explain it to me, and even more so he felt like there wasn't one. there was a need to do so. I simply followed him and replied: “not for now.”After pausing for a while, I snapped, “I’m not going to date anyone permanently. I will wait and see, maybe later I will find someone suitable.”He said indifferently: “If you are short of money, you can look for Luke.”At that moment, my brain went crazy, causing me to say nonsense. However, Zaidan's expression was calm. He didn't criticize me by telling me this was wrong. The way he trusted me, it seemed like he had never investigated me.It seemed like he didn't care who I was!What I had done in the past!And what was I doing just now!In his understanding, I was just a girl.The girl he had never understood, but was willing to help.I shook my head and said, “I have m
