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
Walking through the hallways of the company that was being attacked by the very person who was supposed to keep it upright, Mr. Bennett couldn't control his anger, all he had in mind was that his granddaughter already knew what he was doing and surely it wasn't going to take long for him to appear there, the news had already arrived, at what moment did it occur to him that she was going to leave everything like that and let him enjoy everything while she was killing herself to always get a better life?The man knew little about his granddaughter, the reality is that he did not know that she had left that country pregnant, surely if he had known he would have let Brandon's grandfather know so that he would not let her go at the same time as him. He continued to enjoy all the contracts they could agree to.It was a shame that the only person Crystal had to share the good times, the adventures, the memories, to share the experiences he could have with Crystal's parents was simply the sam
Just at the moment when Crystal was making sure that her son was okay and didn't suspect anything of what had just happened, the meeting that boy had with his father. It was at the same moment that Crystal's cousin's cell phone rang. Surely, that person he was waiting for had just arrived at his destination in the same way that destiny had arrived knocking on the doors of Crystal's life and that of her son. "Sebastián speaking,” he answered the call.Vivian just looked at him right before turning her gaze to Crystal and her son."Yes, we will find you in a moment, we are in the cafeteria, we are going there.” Sebastian hung up.As soon as Crystal heard her cousin's words, she could tell that Wyatt had finally arrived at the promised land, or at least that was the way he could describe the place where his son and the woman he loved most were."Crystal, Wyatt just arrived, he didn't see us at door three and thought we couldn't come for him." Sebastian explained.Crystal smiled again.
Days had passed since Tábata had left, returning to the United States so she could continue leading the company and the shares that her father had left her. In Tábata's life there had not only been changes of the type of improvement, the reality was that although Tábata no longer felt the same kind of love burning in her heart for Brandon, the truth was that she had no one but Brandon in the world. Three years ago, Tábata's father had died of an illness that had made him suffer until that end. The days went by the same way they had gone the last two years for Brandon. Beginning to love what he did, wanting to make his brother feel proud of the person he had become, forgetting that his mother had been a lot to blame for everything he had had to experience, always making a greater effort to be able to see the future. Brandon still managed to see that day when he could face the woman he kept loving her. It was a shame that she had left with so many lies but after having spoken with
The day when that celebration would become a reality had finally arrived. In this way, all the people who had been invited to the great celebration began to get ready early. "Are you really willing to go? What if we find Brandon there?” Wyatt asked without being able to calm everything he was feeling inside.Crystal smiled. "What do you want me to do if I find him? He already has a family, I have one too, there is nothing to do.”All Wyatt could pray for is that Brandon truly already had a family with someone else and of course, he already had the heir to the companies.***** In the same house in which her father had lived and she had lived for a time after having gone through the greatest pain, was Tábata. Happiness invaded her face the moment she realized that it was going to be possible to be close to Brandon that night.She was almost ready, it was time to call her friend."This is Brandon Lambert.”"So someone told me that you will be going to Crystal's grandfather's celebratio
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
