The memory was slightly erased from her mind.

"Miss, you can come in, Mr. Lambert is already waiting for you." The secretary said, making her come out of her world of memories.

"Thank you very much," Tábata said, taking her bag and her black folder and then continuing on the way to Brandon's office.

It was enough for her to open the door to meet that being who was always going to be for her world to destabilize. Her heart began to beat harder, a cold sweat ran through her body knowing that those feelings couldn't be real, not when Brandon didn't love her.

He was just always going to steal her breath. Simply him and his divine perfection as a man.

“Tábata,” Brandon said as he got up from his place to go to her.

She smiled. "We haven't seen each other in a while. I thought you had forgotten about me.”

"Don't say that, Tábata.”

"Why not? I've been trying to call you many times but I see you've had a lot of work.”

"Tábata.”

"Anyway, I don't think it's less important than what I'm about t

    Pacing back and forth, knowing that if he kept trying to work, his thoughts would be blocked by the image of Crystal as had been happening since the last time they were alone working on something that Crystal clearly could have done while he let her suffer. Wanting to disconnect from all that, Brandon left his office with the idea of ​​​​going for a coffee by himself while the images of Crystal faded from his head.Walking towards that place where he could have coffee and a few cookies, he met Crystal's secretary.Without a doubt he would always find something of her wherever he went."Mr. Lambert, good afternoon.”"Good afternoon, Eliot." He said, wanting to resist the urge to ask about his wife. "Excuse me," she said with a smile on her face, ready to leave."And what about Miss Bennett? Haven't you asked for the reports that I have?" Brandon asked knowing that clearly wasn't going to happen."No, yesterday I told you that Miss Crystal didn't need them for this week.”"Oh, you can

    When they finally arrived at the house that Crystal and Brandon had been sharing for so long, he opened the door for her so she could come down more quickly. Now that he noticed it a little more, now that he thought about what their trip had been, a trip in silence, without much to say, without words from one to the other, Crystal letting him see how tired she was at the same time that she closed her eyes slightly and got lost in her thoughts or perhaps, in nothingness, Brandon realized how true was that she didn't look good at all.If it had been up to him, he would have gone to the nearest hospital but the truth is that neither of them owed anything to the other for them to show each other all kindness when before they had only shown each other the desire they had to end each other. "Come on, Crystal, we're here," Brandon spoke kindly.Crystal got out of the car carefully.Brandon was dying with the need to be the one to help her out of the car, holding her hand until he could take

    In front of the desk, sitting in front of the chair that Brandon occupied and the one he was not occupying at the moment, Tábata smiled, she would carry out her plan calmly, she would make no one suspect, she would be genuine as she always was with the difference that now it was a lie, she was not willing to put up with Brandon's mistreatment anymore, she had given him everything but had never gotten anything back. She had given him the opportunity to love her slowly, slowly, almost without him noticing it himself, but he was simply blinded by the world around him and then, by a woman who arrived suddenly, of whom no one knew of her existence, to pass to be Mrs. Lambert. Brandon must be arriving and she was willing to wait a little longer for him. The conversation she had had with Brandon's mother came to mind. It had to work, it had to work whether she wanted it or not because if she was discovered, the whole world would fall apart. Resting their cups on the table of that cafete

    Thousands of memories in her mind, none of them good, she didn't even remember a single moment of complete happiness with Brandon. She had been with him only once, he had been the first man in her life but in the end, for what? None of that meant anything when he was in love with another woman?Lying on the bed, having her cell phone next to her, thinking that at any moment Brandon would call her to see how she was doing, her cell phone rang.She carefully took it. No, it wasn't Brandon, how long was she going to understand that she didn't care?It was Wyatt's call."This is Crystal, do you need anything?" She asked confidently."Crystal, it's me, Wyatt.”"Yes, do you need something?”"Wooo! A little aggressive, isn't it?”Crystal closed her eyes. Wyatt wasn't to blame for everything that was happening to Crystal with Brandon."I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Wyatt, no, I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm sorry. Do you need something?”"You owe me dinner for a long time, don't you remember?

    And just after Crystal told Wyatt what she wanted to eat and handed him the ingredients, Wyatt asked her to simply sit in the small dining room that was in the large kitchen of that house.Crystal didn't look good at all, nor did she look exactly bad enough to take her to a hospital. Crystal just seemed like she was tired, with no one close to her to help her, to listen to her, to offer her a shoulder if she wanted to cry or even to share all those jokes that she wanted to laugh at. There was Wyatt, at her side, wanting her to see him as the person she could trust, the person who could tell her anything she wanted."I will be the best chef in the world!" Wyatt said, putting on his apron to start cooking.Crystal, sitting almost in front of him, couldn't help but smile at Wyatt's words and attitude. Never before would I have imagined that this way they would end up sharing a good moment just when I needed it most."Faker!" Crystal said smiling."Why do you think I'm a fake? You don't

    Being careful but at the same time, taking a lot of work, Brandon entered the hotel room he had reserved for the night. As soon as he made sure that Tábata was okay, as soon as he put her in bed and covered her with the white sheets, he would leave for Crystal. He hadn't even had the time to talk to her to find out how she was doing.He had been so busy with Tábata's conversation, with all that she was telling him regarding her feelings for him that he had not even thought about Crystal and not because he had forgotten about her but because he did not want to stain the love he felt for her with Tábata's feelings. He no longer felt anything for Tábata, he never did. It didn't surprise him that she felt all that for him, it surprised him that he didn't even have the strength to face those words from the woman who had been his friend for so long. "Come on, Tábata, come on, be careful," Brandon said as he put Tábata's body on the bed.She smiled suddenly. Even in the midst of alcohol

    A new morning had arrived, a morning that seemed empty. Crystal's eyes opened little by little, the rays of sun coming through her window made Crystal's body feel warm. As soon as she realized where she was waking up and how she was waking up, she looked at the dress she was resting in. Surely the night had been long to the point of having slept like that.As she became aware of the reality around her, her eyes opened in a surprising way when she realized that next to the bed, leaning on it, was the last person she would have imagined waking up with.She didn't even remember what exactly had happened one night before, Brandon hadn't arrived but what if in the end he indeed arrived and had he seen his best friend at the edge of the bed even if he didn't seem to be one anymore? No, he couldn't have seen them! He would’ve thought anything else.But in the end, it was still the same mistake on Crystal's part, she was still the first to think of him before he could think of her. She didn

    And just as she had said, after an hour they left there, being accompanied by each other, being only companions, just work partners and nothing more, even if there was a paper that kept saying that they were married before the law and perhaps, before their families.The truth was that Crystal had changed a lot since the moment she acquired an important role in that company. What could Brandon feel about that? Nothing but happiness for her, because he knew she was capable of succeeding wherever she went, because the place she stepped on was a place that was blessed by her mere presence. When they got outside, Crystal took the keys out of her bag letting him know that she was going to be the one driving. It was clear that she did not want to feel under anyone's control in any aspect of her life. "Don't you want me to drive?" Brandon offered.Crystal looked at him and then smiled. "No, thank you, thank you, I can drive. Oh! If you want to take your car, that's fine, see you at school.”

    USA"Oh, now, why don't you take me with you?!" Asked a man who was walking hugging Tábata from behind. "I already told you, Lucas, there are things I have to solve!”"Part of your past? I think I have a right to know.”Tábata smiled. Of course the person she loved the most had the right to know everything about her but it didn't mean that it was at that moment, so folding her clothes in the suitcase, being seen by the person she loved the most, Tábata did not avoid returning to those days when she had caused so much harm. Of course she wanted to share everything about her life but it wasn't the time. She had to do something more important and that was going to be finally talking to Crystal, to the woman who made her best friend so happy, to the person who was her first love and for whom she did so many crazy things."I know I wasn't the first in your life, I know you made many mistakes.”Suddenly, Tábata's smile faded.

    In one of the most luxurious rooms of that place they had been occupying for a short time, Crystal turned off the television with tears in her eyes. Everything, everything that he had shown her before today was nothing more than a lie. That dinner, those words, those looks, none of that was worth anything now because his mother had declared his marriage to Tábata. It was incredible that they weren't married to date but what did it matter? In the end he had already declared himself a one-woman man and not exactly for Crystal.Crystal by that moment had already made a decision, no matter how much it hurt, no one was ever going to toy her again, no one was ever going to do to her what Brandon had done to her."Were you calling me?” Wyatt asked entering the room.Crystal turned her back on him as she wiped away her tears. "Yes, the truth is that I wanted to ask you a favor.”“Go ahead.”"I want you to prepare a press conference.”“What? But for what?”"Just do what I told you, I need a pr

    In less than two hours everything was ready for the press conference that the Lambert company was going to announce. The places were ready, in front, only the place of Mr. Lambert because he was the one who had held the presidency for so many years, next to him his grandson, the new CEO of the company and next to Brandon Lambert, was the place of Tábata, the woman who had helped him in everything. Not only that, a seat had also been set for Victoria, something that no one had imagined except Mr. Lambert himself because he had been the one who ordered a seat to be set since there was speculation that young Brandon Lambert did not have a good relationship with Victoria and that could only bring problems for the company. Something that Mr. Lambert was not going to allow it."Good afternoon," Mr. Lambert greeted.The reporters all said hello and then continued with their activities of taking photos and writing down everything that Brandon and all the Lamberts were about to say."Sir, coul

    She looked at him with so much love while thanking him. Brandon had changed a lot, that moment was enough for her to realize that those five years were worthy so the new Brandon could be reborn."This way, please," he said, kindly inviting her to the car that was already waiting with the doors open.Crystal let herself be guided by Brandon.In less than five seconds, Brandon was already in the car. He was ready to drive that night and above all, he was ready to treat Crystal as he always should have, conquering her little by little, becoming her first love and her last.Wyatt followed behind, he wanted to know how far he was capable of taking her because if there was one thing he was sure of, it was that if they went to a more intimate place, all that was going to make him think was that Brandon wanted her for a moment, seeing her so perfectly beautiful, he was going to want to be with her as he surely had while they were living under that same roof.Wyatt was in love with Crystal but

    It was the fire in his gaze, it was all he was feeling at that moment when Crystal was so close to hell in the same way he was so close to paradise. It's been a long time since he felt what he was feeling at that moment. It was nothing more than the fire of her passion because it was not only what he was feeling but also what was coming back to life in him.It was Crystal's eyes, it was her delicate body, it was that way they were looking at each other that made Brandon's heart beat again in the same way as those days when he ended up realizing that he was madly in love with Crystal.Once again the gates of hell as well as paradise were reopened. She had only arrived as a light in his life, the storm could already pass if they stayed the way they were doing at that moment, they belonged to each other but it was the price of the mistakes they were carrying without letting each other's lives enter.That love was strong, the luck of the two changed the moment they looked at each other li

    THREE DAYS LATERThree days had passed since the Lamberts could not meet the Bennetts and Mr. Lambert's patience was exhausted and it was at that moment that he was no longer going to tolerate Mr. Bennett appeared at the moment when he wanted."Good morning, gentlemen, I think it is time to start the meeting, the same one we should have had from the beginning.” Crystal smiled.Mr. Lambert saw Crystal and Wyatt. The concept he had of Crystal had completely changed. She wasn't the kind of woman who was waiting to be rescued, she was the kind of woman who was going to take responsibility for everything the others had done wrong."Your grandfather wasn't the one who-”"I regret that it is me who is going to close this alliance, my grandfather has never been indisposed when the truth is that he was never willing to take all the responsibilities that this implies," she answered as she approached her place. Wyatt only seemed to be there to support her ideas when she was the brain behind it a

    Tábata had arrived at the company, she was in charge of taking the papers but she had been delayed and no one had notified her that the meeting at the end of the day was not going to be held.Being worried about not arriving on time, all she thought about at that moment was wanting to see Brandon to give him what she was carrying in her hand when, without even realizing it because she was in her thoughts while her legs moved almost alone, she bumped into someone she didn't notice until she looked down.Immediately it was the screams and whimpering of a little boy that flooded that place. Tábata was completely shocked.“Sweetheart!” She said approaching. "Are you okay? Did I hurt you? I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.”Sara quickly arrived and ran to the child and picked him up, carrying him as she looked at Tábata penetratingly."Are you okay, Leo?” She asked.And it was precisely at that moment that the cries of a baby had already reached the ears of Crystal, who was not far

    On the same floor where Brandon had been, only behind the front door, Crystal was hugging her son after having been taken there by Wyatt. At her side was the woman she had just hired to work closely with her."How are you, my little one? All good? Tell me how dad treated you?” Crystal asked, being tender.Leonardo just looked at Wyatt. By that time he no longer even had the intention of calling him dad."I don't know what's going on with Leo but I can say that the whole way he didn't even want to look at my face. I already asked him if I have done something bad to him and he doesn't answer me." Wyatt said.Crystal felt nervous. That was not common for her son, she was immediately concerned to know that he was acting in such a strange way, like he had never done before."Is something wrong with my little one?”"No, mom, can we go now?”Crystal approached Wyatt without taking her eyes off her son. "I think he must be tired, leave me with him, I appreciate this, Wyatt, I know you still h
