I left the room, compress. By this time, there were already many people gathered in the condominium, dressed in suits or black ceremonial dress and giving the deceased their due respect.

When I found Lucy, she was sitting on the swing in the back garden. She was wearing a long black dress with some dark embroidery. Her hair was combed with great care, adorned with a small, elegant white flower that was above her ear. As she stared blankly at the peach blossoms, newly born on the trees, a terrible lifelessness radiated from her gaze.

With the passing breeze, the delicate flowers left the branches of the trees and fell on her. Over her black dress, the glittering petals were dazzling to the eye. Really blinding.

Gently, I plucked the petals from her hair and her dress. At that moment, I felt the need to comfort her, but no suitable words came to mind. Any words I might have said seemed futile. After all, the man in the crystal casket was the love of her life.

After a while, I patted him

    “Charles Lucas”“Is he from the Lucas family?”“Since when did the Lucas family have such a powerful and influential man?”Despite my burning questions, I didn't ask my assistant anything else. Instead, I looked at José's tombstone. His black and white photograph had just been placed. The words he had said to me yesterday, full of expectation, came to the surface in my head. “My status is very far from Lucy’s.” I cannot allow my cowardly and inferior self to stand beside her beauty.” Therefore, I will leave her temporarily and come back to find her when I have more success. I hope she's still there, at that time, she'll be waiting for me.At that time, I had just arrived at the Lucas family home. While he was young to go, he was facing immense pressure as he had just lost a contract. However, he had made a concrete plan and worked hard with Hope to return to his side. Unfortunately, who could have imagined that fate would separate them for eternity that very night?!The entire funeral

    “I just attended a funeral and I feel like an emotional wreck.”In the end, I chose to hide my deteriorating physical condition.Upon hearing this, Leo breathed a sigh of relief and said. “As long as you’re really okay.” I didn't even let him finish and immediately asked a question to stop him from continuing.“Brother, where is sister-in-law? Did everyone rest?”“She’s outside talking to her friends.” After a momentary silence, Leo suddenly said. “Carlos contacted me 2 days ago. He sent a scientific investigation team. All of them are experts, internationally acclaimed as fer experience. If you get rich in cancer treatment! Natália, you have to take good care of yourself.”These words shocked me. I never knew Carlos cared so much about me.For God's sake, did he remember our past?I promised you. “It’s okay, I’ll take care of myself.”"Excellent. There are some things to sort out, so I have to hang up now.”Leo hung up the call. I sat on the bed in a daze, while the words that Carlos

    He cursed me. “Natália Moom won’t be able to live long.”Copy her number and I sent it to my assistant asking him to investigate for me. Within 10 minutes, he called me.I asked nervously. “Did you find anything?”He replied. “Madam President, and this is an anonymous calling card. According to my inquiry at the service office, he purchased the card 3 days ago. And he just used it to call him.”“Can’t find any other information?” I asked, anxiously.“I can find out where this card was purchased, but maybe someone else bought it for him. It needs time to investigate.”“Pay attention to this matter.”I reminded him. “He just called me. And he asked me to guess who he was. I thought it was a prank, but he called my name and said I wouldn't be able to live long. He knows I'm sick.”!“Madam President, was it Jorge Moom?”When the assistant mentioned this name, I remembered that there was a man like that in my family, but I hadn't contacted him for a long time.Well, there was no need for m

    It made me happy and shy...He said in a low voice, “I miss you.”I changed the subject, I asked, “How is your mother? I saw the weather forecast, and I saw that the forecast for going is for a lot of rain and snow”.“Yes, our city is full of snow and ice.”I called, my cell phone's speaker. I put on some sleepwear and went to bed, and tried to say it as softly as possible. “This landscape must be very beautiful.”“Extremely beautiful.” He was right with me.I called him again with a smile on my face, “Carlos”."Hmm?"."I miss you."Carlos remained completely silent. He didn't say anything else, Mom, he turned off his cell phone. In the end, I hung up and called my attending physician in the city of Seattle.I told him everything after thinking a little, He asked me gently. “Mrs. Sky, has something happened recently?”When he started treating me, I was still Carlos' wife, that's why he always called me Mrs. Sky.I didn't correct it, but I said it carefully. “My best friend's great lov

    Car's eyes widened in shock when he heard me mention Michelle's name, and he immediately shook his head and said, “I never did anything to her.”“Even during all those years of dating?”I only asked this out of curiosity. After all, everyone had been through and not everything was worth investigating and paying attention to.Taking that into account. I then realized that my question had been too abrupt.I quickly changed my mind and said, “Take it as if I never asked.”He had intended to simply put the matter aside, but Carlos replied solemnly: “I met Michele shortly after I graduated from university. At that time, all my friends had girlfriends, so I also wanted a pretty girlfriend so I wouldn't lose out to them! When I was with Michele, we never really did anything. It wasn't because I tried to abstain from sex, but rather because I simply didn't have any interest in it. The two of us were in the name together for a few years until you came along. In fact, I shouldn’t have allowed h

    Then I left Lucy's apartment and went to the office. My assistant was very busy. In addition to company shares. I had also given him a series of small tasks to take care of. However, he was very competent and was able to handle everything in an orderly manner.I stayed at the company until late, when Carlos Sky called me. His cold voice sounded over the phone as he asked, “Have you eaten yet?”I flipped through the documents and asked, “Lunch?”“Yes, if not yet, I can come get you.”The Sky family company was a far cry from the Moom company. The round trip would be 2 hours, and I hesitated for a moment and said. "Just ate."When I was still Carlos' wife, he had been very busy. Whenever there was any news about him, he had been busy at the company. I didn't want him to waste those 2 hours for him and so I lied.He didn't think anything was strange and just told me to remember to take my medicine before turning off my cell phone.The phone call had just ended when my assistant opened th

    I couldn't help but suspect that there was an inside informant at the Moom company, given the fact that Carlos Sky had uncovered such a private matter as looking up Charles Lucas' contact information.He was even aware of everything I was doing.If he thought of it that way, it was a little scary.It was as if I had no privacy whatsoever.I was feeling very complicated, and Carlos just calmly explained and said, “Your assistant told me this morning.”I am wordless.On the road heading to Washington, I sat in the car and asked my assistant, “Lucy sent you to investigate Charles, right?”My assistant responded, “Yes, she wants his contact information.”I asked: “Did she find them?”My assistant shook his head and said, “I could only find the company’s contact information. I couldn't find his personal information. I couldn't find anything, so I went to ask President Sky. President Sky used internet data and found them.”I was about to ask why he had told Carlos, but he confessed first, I

    Carla Lima looked so perplexed that it was as if she hadn't done it. Suddenly, I looked at Nanci Lima suspiciously.Although she seemed as calm as usual, she seemed even more anxious than when she asked, “Carla, why did her voice come out like that?”Carla bit her lip and seemed very disturbed, no one knew what was going on in her mind, she asked me abruptly: “Natália Moom, what are you really planning to do? You've already caught me red-handed, now what? Are you going to incriminate me?”If I had had suspicions about Nanci just now, what Carla had just accused herself of. When the butler heard Carla call me Natália, he asked me, looking surprised: “Was it Moom? The CEO of the Moom corporation?”Not long ago he had neglected me, but now he referred to me as Mrs. Moom. However, I paid no attention to the butler. Instead, I played the recordings made over the past two days for Carla.Her face turned gray as she heard them, and she looked at Nanci anxiously, but Nanci gently comforted he

    Final chapterUpon hearing this, I got up in fear and took out my cell phone and called Carlos, but his cell phone was still turned off. I called my assistant, who finally answered his cell phone."Where is it?" I asked in a cold voice.“Miss Sky, we’re at church.”He even called me Mrs. Sky.Just like the time we first met 3 years ago.and had called me Mrs. Sky all this time.I used to be Mrs. Sky. However, that was not the case now.“Send me your location.”I hung up the phone and was about to leave when Melanie grabbed my wrist and reminded me. “Your illness cannot be ignored. If it continues like this, there will be no cure for her! Natalia, I spent 7 to 8 years studying this anti-cancer medicine. I had a species of being that was successful. Fortunately, I can save her now. It’s the only thing I can do for you in this life.”It seemed like she was stopping evil with good.I was aware that she was a very evil person.She was unable to reconcile herself with the current situation

    The moment Carlos told me in the morning that Leo had asked him about me yesterday I didn't know I couldn't hide from him. He would definitely hurry to the city of Seattle and take me back to Arizona.I sighed, said. “No, I haven’t forgotten.”“Why didn’t you call me if you haven’t forgotten what I said?”Leo's expression was particularly dark, so I told him my concerns. “I only had an operation a few months ago. Even if this time is successful, I still won't have much time. Brother, my illness is much more serious than I thought. And there is no cure for it.”“So you’re going to let it be like that?”Else turned and sat in my chair. Not having any intention of negotiating with me, she said directly. “Naty, I won’t allow you to ruin yourself like this.”“Brother should pay more attention to your wife.”Leo was speechless.“I don’t want to lie down on the operating table and wait to die.”He frowned, said. “This is the way to save your life.”“But my chances of survival are only 5%.”L

    I answered the call and put the phone to my ear asking, “What’s going on?”Nanci got nervous and answered me on the phone. “Natália, what is the point of telling my father about our personal resentment? What is the difference between you and a child? Being bullied outside and going home and complaining to your parents? You are so childish. You couldn't afford to lose And you even flew away in anger because of the humiliation.”I laughed sarcastically and reminded her, “Since you invited me on behalf of the Lima family, how could it be a personal grudge?”Nanci shouted angrily: “How shameless you are.”“Nanci, You have a true Victory, it can be acquired verbally. The only way to achieve Victory is to deal with others in a Battle. Look at you, what else can you do other than splash red wine in my face? Without the qualifications to be in charge of the Lima and Moom companies, I am afraid that I will have difficulty managing the Lima company. After all, the Lima company has other shareho

    Case took me to the hospital by force. The test results showed that my condition had, in fact, worsened and that I would need chemotherapy to maintain it.I refused chemotherapy. 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. And he said faintly: “Indeed, it is very tiring to stay alive.”He pressed his fist into my arm and said, “Nat.”I wanted to be a lie, to say that I wasn't afraid of dying. However, I didn't want them to feel too disturbed. I also knew very well that he would find Melanie to help us when we were at our wits end.

    I said, calmly, “I don’t have much time left. After coming and going, I will write a will declaring to give you my kidney.”“Natália, can you bear death?”She didn't ask me if I could bear death.What if I couldn't?Melanie suddenly turned to look at me and said, gently: “Carlos loves you so much. I already tested it for you. He was willing to marry me to save you. He really loves you very much.”What she said?She said she helped me test Carlos?Wasn't she going to marry cars to get back at me?Was she trying to figure out Cars' feelings toward me?I looked at Melanie in shock and she reminded me: “Concentrate on driving! I want to stay alive.”I removed my gaze and looked back at the road. Melanie spoke again: “Natália, I hope you live well.”Melanie wanted me to see clearly. At that moment, I didn't know what to feel.I would rather she hated me than treat me so selflessly. She must hate me and it shouldn't be like that!Had she always been measuring her will with my own petty meas

    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
