The situation was not at all calm when Amanda received the text with a not-so-nice photo. And then you receive the same on your fake Snapchat. She drops her creams and skin care products on the floor due to her nervousness and anger at the situation.
Roberth appears by surprise, and she wants to hit him. He makes her sit down and calm down. She screams demanding explanations.
- Amanda, I already told you. I did the girl a favor. And another, I need to show my father that I am capable of being “good” or I will lose my future. Please, no hysteria.
- So many people, institutions and you help this poor thing?
- It was the best option. Believe! Everything will conspire in my favor...
Amanda was still sulking minus seventy thousand dollars worth of jewelry in her hands. But I soon knew there would be more. She wanted so much more.
Sarah woke up the next day excited. When he looked in the mirror, he hadn't recognized himself in so long. She looked like the bright girl she used to be before her parents wasted her grandfather's fortune on gambling and casinos... and wanted to force her into vile and dark things...
They never thought of her, and despised her. She cried as she recalled everything she went through to escape her family at war with her, a cold war even... she had to flee and get used to poverty if she wanted to have a life of her own. It was inconceivable that she would get married or submit to their abuse... with her mother controlling her makeup and forcing her to use it for older men in exchange for nights spent eating expensive dinners and money in her parents' pockets to support her lifestyle. unrestrained life... all for the sake of a life of luxury that she didn't want to sustain. Amanda had no idea about Sarah's life
And he felt he had the right to judge her.
The Italian became friends with Anthony. That I was happy
he was happy with that. But not for long. Anthony thought he was on top of the situation by "manipulating" things in his favor and didn't know what he was getting himself into.
I didn't imagine it would be passed over.Sarah was looking at the clothes she had bought. I was amazed at the quality of the clothes and makeup, I hadn't known what a new outfit was for so long... I was very worried about what I would do next... I was closing my eyes and remembering everything that had happened , from the last slap he received from his mother to passing the semester. her hair received professional care...she looked at her new Macbook. and compared it with your previous one. it had evolved a lot and when you think about it, good things happen in unexpected ways...Amanda huffed nervously. that girl was too loose for her taste. however, classes would only resume on Thursday. then she would find out what Roberth actually bought. But then she thought. - This girl has terrible taste. It should look similar to what you already have.And he threw himself on the sofa and relaxed.Meanwhile...Roberth arrived home very calmly. Anthony was already waiting for him, sitting in the living room , facing the fireplace with his book open. When he saw his son, he closed his book and caught his attention.- We need to talk seriously, Roberth. There are a lot of strange things happening in the world and we need to pay attention to everything.- Yes father. I know. I'm aware of that. Are you looking for a metaphor to say something important? Please be direct. What do you want?- Well...you're learning very quickly and well. I saw that today you paid attention to the progress of the negotiations with the Italian CEO.- Yes dad, perfectly. I'm here to learn from you.- There are things you generally don't care about. and a necessary quality for the business world, not necessarily you must be, but you must appear to be, it is generous.- Yes true. What do you mean by that dad?- I'll be direct. I want you to do an act of charity, and show me all your generosity, so that this Italian CEO approves your qualities and trusts us completely.- For what reason?- In the future - said Anthony, closing the book, which made Roberth sigh. - I will explain everything in detail. For now, I need you to do this task...- Actually, dad, I need to tell you a secret about something I did today. please don't criticize me.- What would it be?- I spent seventy thousand dollars. Before you arrest me, it was for a good cause.- My God! What exorbitant expense would all this require? a new suit, a car you hit and had to silence the poor guy who was hit? Son, you need to be more careful!- Dad, please let me explain. a girl at University is constantly mistreated and humiliated for her simple clothes and lack of financial means. I decided to help her improve her appearance so that she could get a good job in the future. Not everyone has a guaranteed life.- Oh, yes... what did you do for her?- Well, I gave him a shower, makeup, purchased food and personal and essential items, and deposited money into his account to pay off part of his student loans. and remain stable until you get a secure job.- Wow! What a beautiful gesture my son. a lot of money well invested. this is exactly what I was looking for.- Dad, I swear it was without ulterior motives with the girl. it was a conscious act of kindness.- I know son, I know. Send proof of expenses by email. I will take care of replenishing your personal resources later. For now, he is dismissed. keep it up son.- Thank you sir.So Anthony leaves the room, leaving Roberth confused. Little did the young man know that a war would break out because of this "act of kindness".He wished his father would make his life easier and not demand so many responsibilities from him.Sarah wore a red Jessica Rabbit-style slinky satin dress. When she looked in the mirror, she felt beautiful. with this she recalled the days when she was an heiress loved by her late grandfather. both he and his grandmother were his real parents... how he missed them and the good times. she had a happy life while her grandparents were alive. I didn't care so much about money, I cared about feelings and memories. the simplest things fascinated her. Money wasn't always more worth it than family.Your parents may never know what that is.She sighs resignedly...Anthony thought he was on top of the situation when the Italian signed the contract. Soon after, he began to think. The email you requested from your son arrived soon. I was amazed analyzing the expenses. For a billionaire like him, seventy thousand dollars was money to play with, but he always acted cautiously. everything in his life was an investment. Paulo Carsini calls asking for a surprise meeting, and doesn't say what it was. Carsini arrives with a seriousness that Anthony has never seen before. he had decided to talk about something special that would need the help of his new and "trustworthy" friend. Anthony asks the housekeeper to bring coffee and half an hour later a tray is served for both of them. Carsini sighs and drinks his coffee. Anthony then takes the lead. -So my friend, what good winds bring you to my house so soon? - If you knew... you would be sad. or maybe even disappointed in me. - What you mean? - One of the reasons for me coming to the United States is no
For Sarah, the situation was a dead end, dark, most likely she had gotten involved with the mafia or by mistake some crazy client had kidnapped her...hyperventilating or something like that. I still didn't really know where I was and it wouldn't be wise to make any sudden moves regarding what was coming.Whispers aside, Sarah began to lightly eat breakfast. I hoped I wouldn't be poisoned or similar, full of fears because of what I saw in the newspapers or on TV. The coffee was divine and the breads were soft... if it was some bad joke, at least they knew how to make some snacks and breakfast.A woman dressed in a classic formal dress appeared and began bringing papers and placing them next to the table where Sarah was seated. She observes the girl and her delicate manners, being amazed at the young woman's education and finesse.Paulo was excited to see the girl. After taking a deep breath, he rings the doorbell and a door opens. A hallway and a half separated the office from the room
As she fell into a sitting position, with the dossier in her hands, Sarah couldn't help but cry. She felt disgusted, used, mistreated... her poor mother died without knowing that her daughter was alive, her father was there in front of her...- Answer me, why didn't you go after me then? I could have gotten my custody.- It was very difficult, Sarah, believe me. The doctors were paid to keep quiet, and his adoptive parents were constantly moving back and forth. It would be very difficult to find you. Until my father advised me to gather evidence and wait. I thought I would never get a chance to see you. But like all Carsini, you have a strong spirit. Just like Margareth, your grandmother. She will adore you. I know it will never make up for all the suffering you've had, but I 'm here and now, and you'll have my support to bring justice to those who mistreated you your whole life...Sarah was trying to understand what that meant. She was never loved by them, she was always used and mis
Paulo returns to the mansion and is informed that his daughter had woken up and fallen asleep again. He sits at home and begins to evaluate his options.Sarah was sitting in the living room, already dressed and prepared. She wanted to talk to Paulo about her situation and how things would be. She wanted to return to college and her job. However, Paulo had decided otherwise.He would propose and change things in Sarah's life that she wouldn't even imagine. And in this way, he would redeem himself in memory of his beloved Isabella. Sarah imagined that there would be a price for having her father finance her. She knew a lot about business, and her grandfather had taught her well.Such prizes don't come for free. She thought.Paulo had looked at many things over the past twenty years and had rehearsed his words, but he couldn't say anything. She decided to speak first due to the strange silence in the room and then asked."Paulo, I still don't feel comfortable with you.""I know, daughter
For Sarah it was time to do the best in the world both for herself and for others. It was time to color everything, to show that the real Sarah Cárdenas was unknown to everyone.She chose a red mermaid dress and elegant shoes. It wasn't the clothes he bought with Roberth, it was from his own personal collection that he didn't get rid of when he was younger. She had an elegant hairstyle and soft makeup, highlighted only by red lipstick in a shade darker than her dress.She was dressed elegantly but a little more daringly. She was going to have fun at the expense of Amanda and her gang of no-brainers. She was a worthy rival, if not prettier. She smiled confidently. He just took the notebook in its standard binder and called the driver. He put on a coat of a similar color and confidently entered the room.With a cheeky smile, she calculated that in less than half an hour Amanda would already know about the mysterious blonde in the journalism wing. The boys smiled and the girls looked sid
Sarah's smile had been wide and bright since she returned from lunch and arrived at her house. She started thinking about how everything had changed so suddenly, and found herself with new people in her life in less than fifteen days, and even the guy who almost ran her over started going out with her on friendly outings. Things were now closer to when his grandfather was alive.Lunch with Roberth had been incredible. Apparently, he wasn't the arrogant he appeared to be, he was a person who needed to learn how to really have fun. This was funny to her.Saturday dawned, and another lunch was scheduled. Roberth sent Amanda off saying he was going to have lunch with a friend, and then he was going to see Sarah. His heart began to pound for her, imagining that she would be okay if she stayed longer. And it would be able to develop.Sarah arrived minutes late at the agreed location, looking stunning, with a small handbag. And loose hair.She apologized and sat down, embarrassed.- Hey- Hi
It was obvious that Sarah wasn't so happy about reliving that dark and difficult time that still left wounds in her heart, Roberth thought, but he wanted to know. I needed to know and how to proceed. I would comfort her.Sarah looked at him and continued.- You know, I had my grandfather as a hero to me. My grandmother didn't like it, it felt like I was stealing something, but I didn't care. When I stayed at my parents' house, I was treated like a maid, and the days were cold and dark for me. “My brothers” had everything they wanted, financially speaking and they were entitled to everything, love, affection... with me it was mistreatment and dirt. The betting even started. Gambling and addictions. I felt like this was going to go bad. They started wanting to auction me off, to get money. – Sarah stopped, crying – she was humiliated every day, and I discovered that they ended my grandfather's fortune. He died a few months later, of heartbreak. My grandmother can't stand it. He took med
Everything happens for a reason in the universe. There is no clear cause for this.Sarah relaxed in the bath, but she couldn't get Roberth out of her head. The "I" could mean many things in the world for her.As she submerged in the bathtub and came up with her head above water, she began to think. How did it all start? She tossed her hair back and wiped her face with her hand. Roberth had kissed her in a warm way. She had liked it: Amanda could no longer brag about anything. She found the idea of using Roberth to irritate Amanda appealing. But she knew that this would override many things she thought were right.However, it also meant that Amanda would lose a lot. Regarding her reputation as the most desired girl at the university... she could become the one who was betrayed.Anthony was in his office weighing many expenses and putting together a spreadsheet. Many accounts didn’t add up for him. Like his son’s... his own.The only solution was to get everything in order.Anthony need
She couldn't respond due to the shock. Her father had never mentioned this. Marrying the popular boyfriend of the most desired girl at the university? That was very difficult for her.Roberth looked incredulously at his father. What did all this mean? And he was nervous; his father maintained a half-smile, his power of persuasion was frightening. Pieces were falling into place. It was like seeing a reflection of himself, only enhanced.Sarah looked at her father, who, without taking his eyes off her, was printing documents and stapling with precision.The atmosphere in that room had grown much colder.Anthony looked at Sarah and continued to speak.- This deal will be advantageous for all of us.- Advantageous? What do you mean? You want to force two people to marry because of money – Sarah said, already losing patience with it.- Sarah, let me explain. You were the beloved granddaughter of Luiz Cárdenas. The daughter of your grandfather's most cherished daughter. You led a quiet life
Camille saw them holding hands and laughed. She knew that soon there would be trouble if she spread gossip. She took pictures and giggled, aware of the scandal Amanda would create about it.Everything was confusing and chaotic for them. Roberth followed Sarah in his car, heading to her father's office.He didn’t understand what Sarah’s father wanted with him.There were things he still didn’t know. Not everything had been said.Sarah was serious; her father’s call indicated urgency to get to the office. Emergency meetings like this were common, as it was expected that she would learn the family business.Amanda woke up with a terrible headache. Checking her phone, she realized it had been almost forty-eight hours since she last heard from Roberth. She didn’t feel good about it. She opened her delivery app and ordered her vegan breakfast. Her mother was a bundle of worries about her husband.Sarah parked the car on the side of the parking lot, followed by Roberth. They both entered the
The day dawned with a lot of brightness, even more than usual. Ironic. Drunken actions are reflections of sober intimate thoughts.This was very true for Roberth.The situation was complicated for him...Roberth woke up at an unusual hour, different from what he was used to. He went through his usual routine and went downstairs for breakfast, grabbing his phone. He was torn between seeking out Sarah to clarify everything or spending the day with Amanda. Nothing was easy.Anthony was already ready for the day and, startled by the seriousness on his son's face, sat down at the table and silently ate his cake.Neither of them exchanged a word about the previous night. But Anthony was intelligent and experienced enough to know that something was wrong.- Son, are you okay?- I'm fine, Dad. I'll stop by the office later to help with the administrative routines.- Alright, son. I hope you do well today.- I'll try, Dad. I just need some time for reflection. I'll be fine.With every minute t
