CHAPTER 4
Last Updated:
2024-11-12 15:09:41When Crystal was finally in the room, she was unable to concentrate on anything other than what had happened that night. With the white robe wrapped around her body and with a towel on her head, Crystal took a seat on the bed. With so many things in her head, with so many memories that were repeated there as if it were a movie, on the bureau, exactly where she had her gaze almost fixed, she managed to see one more photo. The same photo that had been in the room they had left behind was now a smaller size of the same photo. The same smile on the faces of both of them, Brandon had not been as happy as that day or at least, at least it was that one night ago that same smile had been seen on his face.
Carefully and in her hands, she took the photo from the bureau. She didn't know how or why but she had gotten involved with Brandon while he surely had Tábata on his mind.
"Why? Why did you make me fall for your charms?" Crystal asked with two tears coming out of her eyes.
Without further encouragement and with a broken heart, Crystal took her cell phone ready to dial the only person who had always helped her and who was willing to listen to her as always.
"This is Sebastian Bennett,” he said.
"Hello, cousin, it's me, Crystal, can you come for me?”
"Is something wrong?" Her cousin asked.
"I think we can talk about that later, as soon as we see each other, I'll tell you everything, I promise.”
"Well, then I'm going there.”
And without further ado, she hung up the call. By that moment she realized that there was no need to continue crying for a man who had nothing left. Now Brandon was just another man, she had made a mistake in the worst way, she had simply felt loved for a moment to the point of doing what she simply wanted to do with a man who truly loved her in the best way.
In less than fifteen minutes, Crystal was ready, now she was just waiting because at any moment her cousin would be downstairs waiting for her.
And that was how time finally passed, a message arrived on her cell phone. Her cousin had to be there for her now.
“I'm downstairs, please come out.” He said in the message.
Crystal took her handbag along with her cell phone and went down to see her cousin. She really needed to have someone to talk to, she really needed to tell someone what was happening to her.
Like a lady, being a woman that few can live up to, Crystal went down the stairs of her house and continued through the main entrance so that she could see her cousin who must surely have been waiting for her in his car.
As soon as her cousin saw her leaving the house, a smile appeared on Sebastian's face. There was his cousin, the same one he hadn't seen in a long time, the same one who had left him with a thousand things to say and in the end, she was the one who didn't say more.
Carefully, Sebastian got out of the truck going to his cousin who immediately ran into his arms as if she had really needed a rest in his arms. And for her there seemed to be no one else in life. For her, all that could exist was Sebastian after all the damage that her own blood, her own husband, her first love, had caused her.
"Sebastian, you don't know how much I missed you," Crystal said on her friend's shoulder.
Sebastian smiled more, she was his cousin, his little cousin, the woman he would always be there for.
"Here I am, here I am, little crybaby," said Sebastian, caressing his little girl's back.
What can we say about everything she was feeling and was letting it be known to the only person who could understand each of her feelings? What could be said about all that that could not be talked about more?
Everything else became history, Sebastian would have given everything at that moment to know what was happening in the heart of his little cousin, the sister he never had but with her, he could understand what brotherly love was.
Finally, they arrived at a restaurant, there had been a long time between them since they had not spoken, so many problems, the few things that Sebastian knew, he knew from other people. Crystal was the same one who wanted to tell him every one of her movements, but it was also true that she felt that her mouth was completely closed, she couldn't produce a single word, she couldn't say more when she already had the plan in her mind perfectly put together. She had to continue.
"Do you want something else, Crystal?" Sebastian asked when he saw that his cousin had already finished eating the dish he had ordered for her.
"No, no, thank you, thank you Sebastian, I'm fine." Crystal said, shaking her hands.
"Well, I think it's time to talk about what you haven't wanted to tell me since we got into the car.”
Crystal looked down. Of course she was going to tell him everything he wanted but all in time.
"Well, I don't even know where to start.”
"Why were you like this when I picked you up? Why that call?”
Crystal smiled slowly. The time to say everything had arrived.
It was in that way that she began to talk about everything that had happened in that time, that pregnancy that never took place, those discussions with him, that plan that began the moment she realized that she could be pregnant and everything until they got to the night before. Crystal still didn't know if it was time to say everything, she didn't know what she was going to face because it was enough to see her cousin's gesture to realize that if it hadn't been for Crystal herself, he would have already left, running against Brandon.
"I just can't believe it, Crystal!" He raised his voice, making some people at the surrounding tables turn to see what was happening.
"Calm down, please, don't make any more drama, I beg you, look at the people the way they are looking at us.”
"And you think I care about people? I can't believe that asshole did what he did to you! Is there anything else? Tell me right now! Is there anything else?!”
"No, I can't tell you now. There is so much to tell, there is so much to tell you but I think this is not the time.”
"So when? I'm tired of you telling me things that are important until the danger has passed!”
"Please, Sebastian, I just need you to calm down and I promise I will tell you everything. But saying it now would destroy all my plans. For now I can only tell you that I need your help.”
"One more time? And how can the person who knows nothing about you or where all this is going help you?" Sebastian asked, feeling really annoyed and at the same time scared because she didn't dare say anything else.
"Please, Sebastian, don't do this to me, just don't do it, I promise you that you will know everything in due time, I can't allow myself to fail because right now is when I don't have the right to do it, I'm about to regain my freedom, and all I can ask for is your help,” she said almost desperately.
Her cousin turned to see her. She was begging for him to help her. He couldn't leave her alone when she had just told him that she was about to get her life back. The life that he himself wanted her to have back.
"And what do I have to do?” Sebastian asked.
With tears in her eyes, she smiled immediately. Once again, he wasn't going to leave her alone. It was time to continue with her plan, nothing could stop her, not even the night before that she had spent with the love from her past, he wasn't thinking about her, he was thinking about Tábata and for a moment, it was okay. The damage to her heart was better than the love Brandon felt could give her.

8:30 p.m., clad in a black dress, which revealed her beautiful shoulders, her brown hair tied up to perfection, the cleavage between her chest that was not vulgar and a whole world ahead in which surely, her opinion and her strength were going to try to be trampled. The world around her didn't matter anymore. Armed with her cousin, Crystal arrived at that place where there should be no room for her husband, Brandon Lambert. Her grandfather's birthday celebration was just taking place.As soon as the doors opened, Crystal's eyes fell on all those people who had been invited only to be trampled by her grandfather when he said how well the company's sales had been going and of course, thanks to the fact that he sold his granddaughter as if she were anything else.Brandon was already there, it had been a lie when she said dhe couldn't attend due to health problems.Brandon's heart seemed to resent those words when she said it over the phone. And now that he saw reality, he realized that C

Frightened, Crystal moved from the desk without dropping the documents she had already found. The person looking at her was the same one who was stalking her to find the destiny he had imposed on her. The smile on his depredator was something she couldn't stand no matter how hard she tried."What is this all about?” She asked annoyingly, what she was beginning to feel for her grandfather was just hate, hatred and nothing more than that."Have you not read them? Or, do you once again need time to realize what it says and what you have committed to do?”"Tell me once and for all what this is about!”"Don't you dare yell at me!”"I won't do it as long as you tell me what's happening!”"This is a new contract, my dear granddaughter, haven't you read it? Do you need someone to come and translate it for you? Do you need Brandon to come and find out about this?”Crystal shook her head, not wanting to see the monster that had raised her. Her grandfather was never good, her grandfather only wa

While at the party, Brandon kept observing the hallways of the Bennett house without seeing his wife coming out from anywhere, something was not right and now that he thought about it, what was right in his life from the moment they two had joined in marriage? Nothing was right. Nothing.At his side, Crystal's cousin arrived."Do you know where my cousin is?" Sebastian asked, drinking from his wine. Brandon looked at him. "I saw she came in with you, where is she?”"Well, you see she's not with me." Sebastian said, watching Brandon worry.Now that he thought about it, he had seen his wife and her grandfather talking. That could only mean one thing, one thing only. Crystal, his wife, was in trouble.Just as Brandon decided to go look for her, his cell phone immediately started ringing. Brandon looked at Sebastian as if asking his permission to answer before seeing his wife."Do whatever you want," Sebastian said, walking forward to see his cousin.And without anything stopping him,

For her part, Crystal didn't know what else to think, first he was the man who had treated her with so much love one night before and now he was the man who had just watched everything from a distance while she was humiliated by her own grandfather along with Mr. Lambert.Scared or rather, wanting to look like she was scared when she was really happy about what she had just seen they had done to Crystal, Tábata went after them.Right at the exit she saw them, all that her eyes witnessed was the detestable way in which Crystal pushed Brandon aside as if she didn't want him to be her protection at that moment and given the circumstances, who would like a man to act as her protection in front of everyone when the reality is that he had made fun of her from a few meters back?"Let go of me and let me go," she asked with tears in her eyes."I won't do it! Why do you see everything how only you want to see it? Why don't you realize the reality? Why don't you realize that now I have stayed h

While at the Lambert house, Mr. Lambert and Mrs. Victoria, and Enrique drank and ate the sandwiches that the servants had brought. There was nothing else to talk about there other than business and more business."At least my grandson is doing something right," said Mr. Lambert, clearly still upset by what he had not managed to do that morning.He was on his way to the Bennett house when Enrique's call made a detour just to tell him that he needed to talk to Brandon about a business that was going to start taking place between them."Please, Mr. Lambert, my son has always shown himself to be a person who takes everything that has to do with the company responsibly," said Mrs. Victoria. Mr. Lambert only made a not very friendly gesture and then drank from his wine."Well, why don't you tell us about the business? I deserve to know too, don't I?”"Of course, Mr. Lambert," Enrique said.At that moment, the front door was heard opening. The person they were waiting for had arrived. Wi

In Crystal's house, the same one that Victoria had told her was not hers, she was sitting on the couch, unable to stop looking at the document that her mother-in-law had left her. All that woman wanted was to continue enjoying everything that money gave her along with the power that her son had to lead the company. How much more was Brandon going to endure in the same situation? How much longer until he realized that his mother was just using him? And even if he already knew it, how much more time would have to pass before the day would come when he would rebel against his mother?No calls on his cell phone. She no longer cared at all what she had to endure because sooner rather than later she was going to be free as she always wanted to be, Crystal would live the life she wanted from the beginning, Brandon would finally be able to marry Tábata, there was nothing that prevented them from being together now. Crystal's heart couldn't be happier, she simply couldn't imagine what a littl

Two wooden doors that opened in front of his eyes. Crystal sighed. Even if everything she had been through had made her fall, made her go weak, that was the last thing she should show in front of the two men who were already waiting for her and who smiled when she saw her there, in front of them."It's nice to see you here once again, Miss Crystal Bennett," Enrique said."Go ahead, daughter, go ahead," said Mr. Brown tenderly. That was what that young woman with the sad look caused to Mr. Brown. There were times when he saw her as a woman full of life and strength but there were other times that he saw her as the one whose time was running out more due to the pain in her soul than for the problems she could carry.Crystal entered the room, on the large desk there was already that document that was waiting for Crystal's signature.

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

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

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

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
RUINING MY HUSBAND CHAPTER 48
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

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
RUINING MY HUSBAND CHAPTER 46
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

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

In the same night in which some shared a single heart, in the same night in which the looks of those said more than words could say, there were also, under the same sky, those who went out of their way to find an answer to the love that they were feeling in their soul.Under the same sky there were also those who could not have an answer to their feelings."Why did you send for me, Tábata?" Wyatt asked, not knowing why she had called him in the middle of the night.It's been a long time since they saw each other, it's been a long time since they even met up to talk about the past, or about the good times that the three of them had and that made them not want to part with each other as well as the other.The moments together, the moments when Tábata couldn't leave Brandon's side for fear that he was going to miss his true mission, those days when she thought it was just her in his life were already behind him and there was nothing to do, now another person occupied the place that she a
