How many more times so that Crystal's heart would not continue to be affected by what she clearly already knew? No matter how many times she told herself how much she hated him, everyone there clearly knew that she was feeling everything but hate for him.Finally, the moment Brandon left Crystal's room, the door opened again, Crystal discreetly wiped away her tears. She no longer had to cry for a man like him."Crystal, how do you feel?" Sebastian asked, ready to give the report to her.Perhaps, the real report and it was the same one he had hidden from Wyatt and Brandon."I think I feel better, what happened to me? Brandon didn't tell me anything.”"Mmm, I don't know if he really knows what happened to you." Crystal's cousin said as he sat down next to the bed.That seemed to be a serious conversation, the same one Crystal's soul was waiting for.Sebastian lowered his head immediately. He didn't know how to start saying what he wanted or what he owed for his cousin, he didn't want it
Being ready to leave the hospital, feeling her heart a little heavy, thinking about all that was happening and that she had no answers for that moment but that of course, was becoming her reason for living without her knowing it, Crystal was sitting in the hospital bed while her cousin was in front of her."Will you tell Brandon the truth?" Sebastian asked."No, I have nothing to tell him, even if this baby is also his. You better than anyone know the destiny that awaits this little one and that may be the same one that Brandon is experiencing because no matter what he has done or not done to me, I will never be able to wish him what he is experiencing now. He always said it, he never felt that this life was for him but for his brother. And not wanting to disappoint his family, much less his brother, that's why he took that path." Crystal said with a lost look."It's a shame that he has to live that life but it's not your fault, much less your baby's, now you have to look out for him,
Returning to the reality that seemed to be more unreal for every time he continued walking along that path that seemed to lead to nothing, where the end never seemed to be seen, and when Brandon precisely felt that he was able to say everything to the woman he had most loved in all his life, everything began to fall apart from one moment to the next.Driving at high speed, after having thought about everything that had been happening in his life, thinking about the possibility that Tábata could be pregnant, he felt like going to Crystal and telling her the truth of his feelings, of course he didn't intend for her to help him in everything that came, all he wanted was for her to know that Brandon had fallen in love with her no matter what happened at the end of the road.It was then that a little disoriented, smelling slightly of alcohol, he entered the hospital where he had left Crystal that day. He passed through the waiting room, there was no one, and of course there wasn't going to
In the middle of a web of lies, in the middle of a story that seemed to have no end until he himself put an end to it, he was once treated as others wanted, like a puppet, like the puppet that he always was and that only would be his son who would replace that puppet's place.By the time Tábata had already felt better, in Mr. Lambert's office, Mr. Lambert himself, Tábata's father and Brandon Lambert were beginning to talk about what was really important to them or rather, to Mr. Alvarez. "As you see, my daughter didn't feel well, I don't know what's happening with her, I don't know what has her like this but I think what has her like this is the loss of her place in the company of the Lambert family despite all the support she has given you.”"Mr. Álvarez, I-”"Let Mr. Álvarez speak, Brandon Lambert!” Brandon's grandfather raised his voice.Once again, he let him know that he was nothing if he was not behind him, Brandon was nothing without Mr. Lambert."I'm sorry," Brandon said, ma
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Victoria turned around as she turned her back on Crystal. She always tried to treat her in the worst way but deep down she wished to be like her. Surely, Crystal wanted her freedom to have fun with the man she had arrived with and who was not very different from her. In the same way as Crystal, he wanted to belong to the Lambert family and be the one to help Sandra have a child so she could inherit the throne that was never going to be hers.Crystal and Wyatt were so like each other, it was good that now it was Crystal herself who wanted to sign that divorce agreement. It wouldn't be much of a problem, although she would like to just make her suffer a little more. "So you want to sign the divorce agreement?" She asked shamelessly without looking at Crystal.Crystal sighed a little more. She had to endure, in the end she had to endure a little more. Those were the last steps she had to take in order to obtain her freedom. She just needed a little more
In the middle of that darkness in which she could not see anything, in the middle of that love that only she gave without receiving anything in return, Tábata was immersed in tears. The same questions kept coming to her head over and over again. She didn't know when the person she was with changed, she didn't know when all her good wishes became the worst for the person she loved the most.There was nothing she could do, no matter how hard she tried to get Brandon to see her heart, he was never going to do it.She carefully took her cell phone in her hands ready to dial Brandon. It had been a couple of hours since he had dropped her off at her house and he hadn't even dialed to ask her how she was, how she was feeling.Brandon's cell phone rang a couple of times."Brandon speaking," They asked from the other side. Brandon's voice didn't seem to be the same."Brandon!”"Ah, it's you, Tabata!”"Brandon, where are you?" He started laughing senselessly. “Here. Here, having a good time.”
Arriving at his house, smelling of alcohol after having had an afternoon where Crystal's thoughts and aroma continued to intoxicate him as if he were next to her at the same time that he remembered that Tábata could be pregnant in the same way.He entered his house, Brandon's mother was at the bar as always, and when she heard him arrive in bad condition, she got scared. She had never seen her son that way, she had never seen him arrive so upset."Brandon, son, what happened?!” She went up to him at a fast pace. "Son, what's happening?!”"Let go of me, Victoria, let go of me.”Ignoring her son's words, of course, she helped him sit in the nearest armchair."Son, son, what's happening? What was it that happened?”"Where is Crystal? I-I want to see Crystal,” Brandon spoke awkwardly."Why do you have to name that stupid woman? Son, she doesn't do you any good, why don't you look at the woman who is willing to give everything for you with just one look?”Far from his mother healing his so
The meeting was held like any other, implying that it was nothing more than to share the points of view that each of the parties had. All Mr. Brown wanted was for everything to go well, after what was said at that moment there was going to be no turning back, perhaps in the same way that there was no turning back for Crystal to continue with her life one way or another.That was the last meeting she was attending, she already knew it, she already had everything ready to start her life away from everything Brandon had done to her and above all, away from everything that brought back bad memories of her childhood. The only good thing being Brandon himself, how ironic life was in those cases! The same person who made her happy in her childhood was the same person who had made her so miserable when she was already an adult who only wanted and only thought that life could be beautiful as long as she had control of her ideas and everything around her, all the people who frequented her havin
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. Who had told him all that?"How did you know?” "So it's tru
THREE MONTHS LATER"Come on, come on, come on, you can, I know you can!" Sebastian shouted over and over again with a huge smile on his face.Crystal, Leonardo and Sebastian himself couldn't help but feel how their hearts were going to the limit when they saw that image in front of them.Breathing as if she had run a marathon, Vivian grabbed the bars at her side to take her first steps. And suddenly, as the doctor was the one who walked away from her to let her walk alone, it was at that moment that Vivian took the first two steps by herself.Sebastian's cry of happiness was everything, then Crystal and Leonardo applauded while Sebastian ran to Vivian so he could hug her and congratulate her for what she had done.Finally happiness seemed to surround each and every one of them. Of course there was a long road ahead but for the first time, it was happiness that enveloped them. So much had changed in three months. If you could describe each of the good things that had been happening, yo
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
