CHAPTER 14

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-07 10:36:42

In a world of appearances, there was only one thing you could do and that was, pretend, pretend like everyone at that party must have been doing. Because it was only enough to see the most false familiarity with which the people there treated themselves, it was only enough to see the smiles and the false looks but at the same time, those looks were the ones that declared everything they were really feeling.

It wasn't that Crystal hadn't grown up in that environment, surrounded by those people who only knew how to be there for benefit and not because they really wanted to. And although there was nothing outside of Crystal's world, she was different, she always wanted to be treated honestly, she always wanted to get married because her heart decided so and not someone or simply some document that she had been forced to sign.

The door in front of them opened as she fell silent. There was nothing left to say, there was no time she could use to explain to him the reason why she dressed

    Feeling a little more dizzy minute by the minute, feeling that it was her eyesight that was no longer responding in the same way, making her unable to focus well on what was happening around her, she moved away from the people a little, wanting to give herself time to be able to resist the night a little longer. She didn't even want to imagine what would happen if she decided to go to the house where in the end, all that would be waiting for her was the end of the contract, a contract that she didn't know about.That was her goal at that moment, to endure a little more.Wyatt, smiling as he always did, not unlike how Brandon did when it came to women, looked at Crystal, very far away from that celebration that was more about her and Crystal's grandfather than about Brandon.With that confident walk, with a glass of liquor in his right hand and with that smile, Wyatt continued until he could reach her discreetly.He seemed to suffer, he seemed to really suffer. Little innocent, little

    Without understanding the reason for his own actions, Brandon clenched his hands into fists as if that way he could bear what he was feeling when he saw Crystal being treated that way. It wasn't that Wyatt was hurting her, it was that he was genuinely interested in her.Wyatt was a man who did not insist much, he knew that the world was full of women, he knew that he just needed a little power and smile the way he did to have the women he wanted before him. Although reality at that time was becoming a little more complicated. Why did he have to insist so much to that woman who was married?Wyatt must have cared little if she was married out of commitment or because she really loved him, in the end it was a marriage, and she was a married woman that he must respect."Sir, the cars are ready," said the man who accompanied Brandon and who we could tell was his right-hand man."You'll have to wait a moment," he said as he walked towards where his wife was arguing with Wyatt.As soon as Cr

    Bringing back those moments where he had made her feel safest, she focused on those memories.The exhibition of the new products that the company was going to implement had been a success. It was incredible what Tabata was capable of with just a few hours. Everything had gone well and if the signing of those investors had happened it was only for one reason. Tabata was responsible. "I already told you, Tabata! You're the best at all of this,” Brandon said as he sat in his spot in front of the desk. The happiness with which he said it was capable of making Tabata's heart feel so light to the point of not feeling it beat. Emotion ignited in Tabata's heart. They had studied together, they had shared the best moments to end up working together, how much longer for him to realize the feelings she had for him? What Brandon didn't know is that she was determined to leave everything for him until she was indebted to herself. "I'm glad you liked the presentation. You already know that it

    What about those winters where all Crystal had to worry about was not catching the flu? What about those springs where you only expected to wear your long, flowery dresses? What about the autumns, the summers and all those seasons in which you waited patiently for the day to come when you saw the one you fell in love with in the most genuine way play?The truth is that there was nothing left of those seasons, nothing was left of those days in which her little heart could not be happier just to see little Brandon play, to see him run from one place to another, to see him take over the field, see him move forward without his life seeming like a competition.For the first time the baseball fell where it was destined to be found by that childish girl in the orange dress. Knowing who it belonged to, Crystal ran to the ball with the intention of finally hearing the voice of that child who always seemed to be the most energetic in that field where she attended the gathering of her friends.I

    With the care he had never taken a woman with, Brandon continued on his way holding Crystal's body in a unique way, in a way that she could feel safe in his arms. He couldn't believe what he had been able to do to make her go to the party when she was so seriously ill, her blood seemed to not stop and even though he wasn't the one who saw the cut, he was sure that the cut wasn't anything as she had said before he took her into his arms.On Crystal's face, a slight smile, a slight smile that seemed to grow a little more alive as the memories passed through her mind at the moment she inhaled Brandon's scent. So much had changed in that time, she couldn't even imagine that years later she would have the opportunity to be so close to him because for a moment, she knew that Brandon had forgotten the woman who was left behind with her face full of surprise and sadness at the same time. It was not Crystal's intention to give them a hard time, she, like any other woman who found herself face

    Even Brandon's gaze was capable of saying what his lips never said, the problem was that Crystal was so sick that she was not able to discover those never-said words in his eyes. "If only it were so simple to let you die here, don't doubt that I would do it.”With tears coming out of her small eyes, Crystal still had the strength to push the man away while, still, with her foot completely bad, she managed to get out of the car. She no longer cared about staying halfway and dying there, she no longer cared that she would bleed to death in the worst way, all she wanted was to live and if it wasn't in this life, she would surely want to find her own reincarnation to have again the opportunity to dream of impossible things while striving to reach them. In the car, watching the way she was driving away and trying to walk even with her injured foot, Brandon hit the steering wheel so desperately because he didn't know what to do and he didn't have the courage to let her die alone, so he

    The car hurriedly continued on its way, feeling the instability rushing Brandon's body, from time to time he turned to look at Crystal who was fast asleep next to him. In Brandon's mind he wanted to think that the looks he was giving him were nothing more than a way to see how she was doing but inside him, deep inside him he knew that the reason was very different and had to do with what he had discovered so soon when she had fallen into his arms just like a Cinderella."We're getting there Crystal," Brandon said as if she could really hear him. "I said I shouldn't have compassion for a woman like you," he continued explaining, but more than being an explanation for her, it was an explanation for him. "But here I am, Crystal, I'm not a bad person.”Once again, Brandon directed his gaze to his wife's ankle. Because in the end, it didn't matter if she loved him or not, she was his wife. The blood was already stopping and that, that scared him a little more than it could comfort his sou

    While in the celebration that had ended as soon as the main couple left, Tabata couldn't stop thinking about what her eyes had seen. She had just spoken to Brandon just to tell him that there were problems with the investors when the truth was that they understood Brandon’s situation and that it was not a problem like she had made Brandon believe just so she could have him around. She had never been the type of woman to care for a man as if he were an object, but for the first time, that look he had given the woman in the man's arms, the look of concern, the way in which he got her out of there he couldn't be more like the real Brandon Lambert used to be. The images from a few moments ago were repeated in his mind.“Crystal,” Tabata called.That moment had remained in his mind, along with that look.Brandon's eyes followed Tabata's movements as Wyatt continued to hold Crystal's delicate body."Blood," said Tabata.Brandon immediately pulled her dress up a little more only to realize t

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 r

    In that way the folder was placed in front of Miss Violet, the same one who had not given her name and who was only taking the place of another person. Carefully, Violet took the pen in her hands to put her signature on the documents.“One moment!” Brandon raised his voice.Everything stopped from one second to the next. Silence fell in that meeting room and now the men's gazes were on Brandon, the same one who had stopped the signing on those documents."What's wrong, Brandon?” Mr. Brown asked."At that moment I demand the truth, I demand the presence of the true genius of this project.”Mr. Brown closed his eyes, leaning against the conference table. That was the end, he had done everything he could to help Crystal, but sooner rather than later he realized that no one made Brandon Lambert believe lies."Just as you hear it, you wanted to play with me for a moment, because you already saw that the plan did not work and will not work for them, at this moment I want the real person who

    A room full of investors, a room where everyone's words were not clear, there were just a few minutes left before the words would have a special meaning.It was the most important investors that were missing there. Among them Mr. Brown, Mr. Brandon Lambert and Mr. Aguilera.And while Brandon walked through the company's hallways, wearing a gray suit, he spoke with Enrique, the same one who couldn't be on the board."You already know, Brandon, she is a very special woman, don't get yourself killed when there is no need.”Brandon smiled at his friend's words. He seemed to be the most interested in getting that contract and alliance signed. "Please, Enrique, I don't know how many times you've told me this already, I already know what I have to do and what I shouldn't. Don't worry, that contract is signed today.”"Brandon?" Enrique called.“Yeah?”"She is not a very easy woman, you never know what she is going to get, she always has something up but above all, she always knows what to ans

    There had been only preparations since the moment she had spoken with Mr. Brown while at the Lambert company the first celebration was about to take place. It was true that Enrique had not been able to say everything that had happened in that meeting, just like Wyatt, from one moment to the next, Wyatt seemed to want to be the one to keep Crystal's most intimate secrets, from one moment to the next he had changed the way he saw Crystal. She was no longer just a pretty girl to him, she was no longer an elegant woman with whom it would be nice to go to prestigious parties, now she was more than that, and everything had changed from the moment Wyatt saw a woman capable of everything to achieve her dreams. Precisely what a man should fall in love with, the intelligence, the personality, the feelings of a woman. Wyatt should stop looking at her if he didn't want to end badly."News about your genius, your star student?" Brandon asked, laughing since it had been a month and a half saying th

    Mr. Aguilera seemed to search through his thoughts to see if what he was about to do was correct, but that would be the answer to everything Crystal Bennett was asking for. "Bring Mr. Brown," Mr. Aguilera said simply.Crystal smiled, the opportunity she wanted was coming because she better than anyone knew why they called that man."Of course, Mr. Aguilera," said one of the secretaries present."Since you don't want to be the one who buys the key to success, at least I ask you to do something for me," Crystal began.Mr. Aguilera's attention was drawn. "What are you talking about, miss?”"I'm talking about filling Mr. Brown with sincerity about my project, telling him how good it is, how promising it looks in your eyes, telling him nothing but the truth, and making Mr. Brown make his own decision. If he says no to my project, well, I will know how to accept it, as a good loser that I know how to be too, I will know how to accept my defeat.”"And what is that for?”"I simply think that M

    Cunning and resentment, what about those two words that come together in a moment of doing? What happens when these two come together? What happens when wind and water become a great team?

    A laugh grew on Brandon's face when he saw that girl in it. He had won one over Enrique, Brandon had found that girl already a woman.“Crystal,” Brandon smiled as he said her name.Those moments that had hurt the most came to Crystal's mind, Brandon's first glances at Tábata, the photo that he himself had placed in his room to let her know that Tábata was the woman of his dreams, the strength that he used to make the doctors do whatever they wanted with her, really, all of that still worked. Now that she thought about it a little more she realized that there could only be one reason why Brandon had taken advantage of the moment and gotten drunk the way he did. All of that was for Tábata and nothing more than for her. Brandon couldn't see Crystal any differently.
