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
There was only one way for them to come up with a plan. He had to talk to Crystal and tell her that even if that wasn't right, they had to take advantage of the situation and adopt a baby, a helpless son. But they had to talk about that.With Brandon's secretary at his side, she called him."Yes, sir, how can I help you?”"I want you to prepare everything for a romantic dinner today, in the house, I want you to fill everything with flowers, I want you to hire the best chef, I want you to take care of even the smallest detail, today I will have a special dinner with my wife.”“Yes sir.”And without further ado, Brandon left his office. He had so much to fix that night and he had to start by checking the places where they could adopt a child. After all, he was going to be a father sooner than he expected and it wasn't that it bothered him, on the contrary, it was an idea that made him happy. He and Crystal were finally going to be parents because no matter how it turned out, they would
And just like that, the minutes passed. Just the kind of dinner no one had given her, just the kind of dinner only a man could give to the woman he was loving. That was the reality for Brandon even if he didn't know it, that was the reality in his heart, he was falling in love with Crystal in the way he never believed.And the more he shared with her, he realized that she could be the person he once came to see as his everything when the pain was suffocating him.In this way they managed to spend the entire night, losing track of time, laughing at each other's occurrences, feeling how the tide of the purest feelings made them its prey, now everything there was a disaster between one and the other. From one moment to the next they seemed to be so intimate, from one moment to the next, they seemed to know each other in the best way. And it was the same liquor that was already running through the veins of both of their bodies, it was the same liquor that was making them see reality and c
It was in this way that Brandon was able to take Crystal's face in his hands so he could look directly into her eyes. That's how he realized that the woman who was making his heart beat like only one in the past had done, was starting to beat faster than it should."Please, Crystal, tell me what you're talking about.”"Don't hurt me anymore, stop it, Brandon, stop all this.”"Crystal.”"I haven't been able to forgive you for what you did to me and you continue hurting me.”"Crystal.”"Just let me leave your life, so I can be grateful to you for the rest of eternity.”"Crystal!” Brandon called louder when he realized that his wife had gone into a state of shock.Crystal finally looked him in the eyes and it was in that second that she realized that for the first time, a man was looking at her with love and respect for her person. Not being able to resist anymore what the two were feeling there, Brandon, holding Crystal's face in his hands, not being able to bear seeing her lips away fr
When 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 fu
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
