Brandon and Crystal, those names sounded excellent together, it was a shame they had never been seen that way, it was a shame it was Crystal's eyes that filled with tears every time Brandon was near her, it was as if his presence would hurt in the same way it healed. By that moment, Crystal could already realize that she was facing a human being, a person who had just shown himself transparent to her, from whom the thousand chains that imprisoned him had fallen, from whom the white veils had been revealed in his against and had fallen to show Crystal who he truly was.Crystal and Brandon, two people who had dreams alike, people whose lives had been destroyed by other people.And while Brandon talked about that past that hurt so much in his soul, and while Crystal thought about his words, she realized that all she wanted to do was leave clean and that way she could start over in life with that little one who God had power in her womb. It was time to tell him that she was the girl who
Without stopping thinking over and over again about the words that Tábata had said to him the previous night, thinking that she could be right, he had to let Crystal be happy with Brandon. He couldn't help but continue thinking about the truth that she had given him. Tábata was not pregnant but Crystal was, on top of that they loved each other but the truth was that he couldn't allow Crystal, a woman who was so valuable, to stay with a jerk like Brandon. An immature man who had done so much to her. He deserved nothing in life but death itself.A little out of alignment, Wyatt arrived at his office and as he sat down, on the desk he saw a white envelope and with fine ink it had Wyatt's name written on it. That letter seemed to be for him.With great curiosity he began to unfold the letter. Who could have given him something like that?Then he started reading…Dear Wyatt….I hope you haven't forgotten my words in that cafeteria when I told you that I would think about your proposal, I t
To say that hatred grew in Brandon's heart was an understatement. He felt something beyond hatred. His best friend, the person who said he loved him the most, was the same person who had separated him from his great childhood love. "How could you, Tabata?”"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Brandon." She looked down."It's because of you that I couldn't go behind her!”"Now I'm telling you, go after her, go and tell her how much you love her, don't let her go because she's about to board with Wyatt for France.”“What?!”"I'm sorry, Brandon, I'm so sorry with all my heart.”"That's not enough, Tábata, you are going to pay for this!” He said the moment he was about to leave.Laughter filled the office. "It's a shame that it's a child who is playing at love. Now I understand Wyatt's words, Crystal doesn't deserve a man like you. If you want to go after her, heal yourself and accept that you humiliated her and were the first to extinguish the flame of her love.” Passing close to him, Tábata left
Without caring about anything, leaving the doors of the car that Brandon was getting out of, he arrived at the airport as he himself had proposed, he didn't know much about where she was going, he only had in mind the flight schedule, everything that he could do was run, run and run and believe that at any moment his eyes would be able to see the same beautiful woman with whom he had shared the previous night.People only saw him running like a crazy man, the women thinking that it was a romantic story in which he had done so much damage to the woman he loved the most, the woman he loved most in life, but in the end he realized his mistakes and now he went after her in the hope of finding her there. While men thought and saw him as a crazy man whose life was passing away, of course those who thought that were the same ones who had never felt love firsthand."Crystal, Crystal!" Brandon started shouting throughout the airport. He no longer cared who people saw him or how they were seein
ONE MONTH LATERExactly one month had passed since the last time Brandon Lambert had heard from the woman he loved most in his life. A month had passed since that moment of pain where he stayed on his knees in that airport in France wanting to think that at any moment Crystal was going to appear to illuminate his life, to make him strong when he was losing all his energy, a month had passed and the truth was that nothing he had done seemed to serve any purpose. Crystal simply seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.No one knew anything about Wyatt in the same way. Even Brandon had reached the end of his desperation that he had gone to his cousin, just to ask if she could know anything about Wyatt. She clearly told him that she had no contact with him since the moment he broke off their engagement.As Brandon investigated further, he began to think that Crystal was always a fake, she just wanted to have the power to leave with the person she really wanted, Tábata had bee
FIVE YEARS LATERLike time that passes slowly, like time that goes away and never comes back, how we end up paying for our mistakes, in the way we behave, in the way we act, always being the one that directed us to the destination that is before us. prepared not because it has been written that way but because simply, we choose it, we are the owners of our lives, we are the ones who decide to live life as we see fit. Unfortunately, there are mistakes that stay forever, there are mistakes that in life can never be repaired, such as Brandon's mistake with Crystal.This was not the typical love story where she could forgive him everything just because while they stayed together living happily ever after when the reality is that she would continue to be the one to deal with the insecurity problems that her husband had.Neither Brandon sought to make her more miserable nor did she herself seek to stay where she knew the destiny that could always be waiting for her.Five years had passed an
What had become of the people who were involved in that story that seemed to never end? A story without end, that was it, a story that was never going to be made head or tail of because this was not the sweet love story between a sad CEO and a needy secretary like the majority found outside, this was the story of someone who suffers, of someone who goes out of their way for the time that passes and the time that stops being for every time he thought of her the way he still did after five years.Five years had passed for everyone, for some it was a time that passed slowly while for others they could describe those five years as the time that passes and is the same that is not felt.Crystal's cousin, Sebastian, had found happiness in the hands and eyes of another person. The same one that came as a light on his path after so much that had happened, Crystal and Brandon weren't the only ones who had problems in the world, Sebastian also had problems with himself, with the world around him
TWO DAYS LATER"So this is the end?" Brandon asked as he stopped with Tábata's suitcases.Tabata smiled immediately. "It's not the end, I already told you, I've told you thousands of times," she said, wanting and hoping that Brandon was okay.She knew better than anyone how much it had cost him to get to that point where Brandon could now dress as a confident man, a man who went against everything and everyone no matter what. For him life had not been simple at all, for him life had always been that way, stumble after stumble with the difference that now he knew how to go against that.The last thing Tábata wanted was for her best friend and almost soul brother to relapse once again. He just didn't deserve it, he just didn't, of all people he didn't. He had already fought enough for things to be different. He had fought enough, Brandon couldn't just fall into the flames of his grandfather's hell once again. "You're going to be okay, Brandon, you're going to be okay," she said, cares
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
