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. Her plan was beginning, her life was almost back to her and she only needed to take that pen in her hands to make a single signature, a key."What we’re com

While in Mr. Aguilera's office, Enrique was finishing understanding everything that had happened just a few seconds ago."No, that can't be possible. I refuse to believe it." Enrique said while his head was spinning."Just as you heard, she is Brandon Lambert's wife.”"How do you know? Why didn't anyone tell me anything? Did you know it from the beginning?”"She asked me to never say anything, she needed an impulse that would make her move forward and bring back her freedom.”"What freedom are you talking about? She's Brandon's wife!”"Wife under contract!” Said the man defending Crystal, because he knew better than anyone what it was like to live a life that we never wanted before."In the end she is his wife and that is what matters, I can't believe that his own wife intends to do this to him, to become his rival.”"More than being the rival of the Lamberts, she intends to be the rival of her own grandfather, Mr. Bennett.”"Why? Is this a romance and revenge movie?”"Precisely for t
A little disoriented, knowing that Brandon had left early and had not even slept with her that night, she couldn't come up with an idea of the person who could be knocking on her door.Carefully and because of the high shoes she was wearing, she went down the stairs. She could be destroyed, she could be feeling that her soul was leaving her body but she was never going to represent it in her physical state.That morning she was wearing a black dress, a little shorter than normal with high heels while her wavy brown hair fell over her shoulders.Sighing heavily she opened the door. She no longer wanted to be the prey of any more surprises, she was tired of the same thing.And as soon as she opened the door she noticed that a woman of no more than forty-five years old, reddish hair, dressed very elegantly, was taking off her sunglasses in front of her while a smile invaded her face. She must have imagined it, always. She must have had her in mind before anyone else.He was not a good
In the Lambert mansion, the same woman who had already made her son's life miserable enough to no longer be wanted there was talking to the woman she had dragged to that place of perdition.Without stopping smiling at each other, they shared that moment with glasses of wine in their hands and plates of sandwiches on the central table."Mrs. Victoria, do you think the plan will work?" Tábata asked.Victoria sighed. "The reality is that I can't assure you anything at this moment, my son has changed so much that there are times when I don't know him.”Tabata looked down. She wasn't going to say what she thought but she knew perfectly well that even if Brandon had changed as much as she said, Mrs. Victoria had never been there for him, to monitor his changes and learn from them until he could accept them as part of his son."The only thing that matters to me is that Brandon is free from that damn relationship that I should never have agreed to. Well, although if we tell the truth, I found
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
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
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
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
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
