CHAPTER 2
Last Updated:
2024-06-19 10:28:16Hanging up the call, Brandon's grandfather could not resist the emotion he felt at the mere fact of having spoken to his grandson. Finally, the companies would be his and not only that, it was completely secured, as well as his family name, as well as the power of that family, what else could happen if a child was already on the way?
And if he was ever worried about that question that investors asked him every time he saw them at meetings, now he could proudly say that his grandson was married and not only that, he was about to be a father.
He immediately dialed his daughter-in-law's number. The same one who was in Paris enjoying the life her son would never enjoy again.
"Well? This is Victoria Lambert, how can I help you?”
"Victoria?”
"Oh, President Lambert!" Victoria said in astonishment.
She could still be the great Victoria Lambert, she could be as powerful as any other family but never more than her father-in-law, the father of the man who had been her husband and who would still be by her side if he had not died. Victoria knew where her place was because every time the one who requested her presence or simply asked for her was her father-in-law, the great Mr. Lambert, the president of the big company.
"How are you doing?" asked Mr. Lambert, wanting to keep the surprise he had for her a little longer.
"Well, well, Mr. Lambert. It's good to be here.”
"Do you miss your son?”
" Yes, I always do. Although I understand that my son has become a businessman.”
"And boy, he is doing pretty well!”
"How... how is his marriage going?" Victoria asked, not really wanting to know.
"Not much to say. He's finally learning the business here.”
"Is the woman good?”
"Since when has that ever mattered to you, Victoria? You know that as long as the woman is healthy, that's all there is to say, and you don’t care about that.”
"You're right, Mr. Lambert.”
"Whatever, I was just calling to give you some good news, the best news you've ever had, maybe.”
“What is it? What's it about?”
"Victoria, you're going to be a grandmother soon. The long-awaited son is finally on his way. Finally Brandon becomes a father and the companies will be safe.”
Just silence on the other end of the line. There wasn't much she could say when it was all she could expect from him.
"Won't you say anything, Victoria?" Mr. Lambert asked.
"Of course, it's just that surprise has come over me. Is it confirmed that the woman is pregnant?”
"No, not yet, but she was already on the gurney ready to be artificially inseminated." Said the grandfather.
"What, are you trying to say that it will be a child created in a laboratory?”
"What is the problem? In the end, it's Brandon's genes and those of the whole Lambert family, don't you think?”
For a moment, Victoria didn't know what to say. It was good to know that her son had gotten entangled with a gold digger because only an unscrupulous gold digger could have signed a contract like that. On the other hand, though, she couldn't imagine being at home with a son who had been created in a laboratory as she said.
"I'm so glad this is happening, President.”
"I assure you that I am the happiest with this news! There is nothing that can go wrong, a thousand studies were performed on her, I hired the best people to carry out this procedure, nothing will go wrong, I swear.”
"Please congratulate my son for me, please, President. Now I have to hang up. I'll see you later.”
"Good luck, Victoria.”
And without further ado, they both hung up. Mr. Lambert knew exactly what was going through that woman's mind. His only son would suddenly be married and not only that, he would be the father of the son of a bad woman, without class, without education. How wrong she was!
From the stairs, Brandon's grandmother was coming down with a bag in hand. She was probably on her way out.
"Going out?" asked Mr. Lambert to his wife.
"I plan to see my son and bring him flowers, why?”
"I think you'll have to take a rain check.”
"What are you talking about?” asked the puzzled wife.
"Why don't you take a seat and save that visit for later? I promise that what I have to tell you will make you forget everything.”
"What are you talking about, is something wrong, did something happen with my grandson?" asked the woman, putting a hand to her mouth. She had always been an impulsive woman.
Grandfather laughed.
"What are you laughing about?" asked his wife.
"No, I just think you're being too exaggerated.”
"Tell me what's going on or I'll leave and we'll talk later.”
"Can I offer you something to drink to celebrate?”
"Celebrate what? I don't understand, stop talking in code, will you?”
President Lambert continued to laugh as he went to pour himself a drink, or rather, two.
"What are you talking about?" the woman demanded to know.
With a smile on his face, President Lambert offered a drink to his wife as she took it, already waiting for his answer.
"I think we have the best grandson life has ever given us.”
"What are you talking about?”
"Your grandson, our grandson has finally saved our place in the business. A new member is on the way. Congratulations! You have a great grandson.”
Words failed the woman in front of her. That couldn't be, so soon, just a few days after Crystal's studies and now, she was already expecting the future heir of the Lambert company.
"Don't you think that deserves a toast?" asked the president, already sipping his drink.
********
Still laughing at what he was doing to her while rubbing her cheek, he watched Crystal walk away.
"Come on, Miss, please!" insisted the doctor, taking her by the shoulders.
"Let go of me!”
Taking that as an opportunity, Brandon followed the doctor into the living room.
"Get the hell out of here!" Crystal demanded, still wanting to fight what she could no longer fight.
"I will if I want to!" said Brandon grabbing her by the wrists, forcing her to walk backwards.
"Get out of here!”
"You have my permission to tie her to the damn gurney if she intends to get out of here!" said Brandon to the doctors, without having compassion for her.

Tears of helplessness sprang to Cristal's eyes. He had to be a goddamn unscrupulous being, a goddamn man who didn't care how much she might be suffering at that moment. "You, go to hell!!" Crystal shouted at the top of her lungs.Smiling, as if that was all he knew how to do, Brandon turned around only to grab that white rose in the vase on a table to the left.Walking towards the rose, thinking that the least he could give her at that moment was that to celebrate her womanhood by giving her a child, a child that would be the blessing of all those belonging to that family, he took it from the vase with the intention of giving it to her.The doctor and the nurse were making a superhuman effort to keep her still. Reinforcements were on their way.Kissing that rose with such delicacy, Brandon placed it on Crystal's hands, the same one that was moving from one side to the other wanting to get rid of those women."I don't know if you've been given roses before, but what better time to giv

A signature that had changed everything, a petition that had changed the course of two lives, they were but puppets of the same life, the same destiny that only seemed to be written by those who had brought them to life. Life was never given as a gift, as a right, at least not in their world, in the world of people who liberated a lower world. To give life was to give the opportunity to continue to be the one who sat on the throne from where they could see everything, decide for everything and make as many changes as they wished.With his thoughts entirely on the woman he had left behind without looking, without wondering for a moment how much she might be needing him, Brandon continued on his way to the hospital exit and then to his car.And in the total loneliness in which a soul can find itself, Brandon continued on his way. He could not get out of his mind the images of that woman who, with tears of terror or hate, was able to become strong in front of him.That was the destiny o

MONTHS EARLIER Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at nothingness and at the same time, seeing everything at that point where her destiny was, a couple of tears fell. As pure as the silence, that silence that she lived and in which she seemed to live forever because after that, there was nothing.It was done, that which she had come to fear so much, that which she had refused so much was done because more than being for her welfare, it had been for the welfare of her grandfather and all his possessions.The white veil falling to the sides while her black hair was kept perfectly combed as well as her makeup, perfectly adhered to the softness of her young skin. Her small hands still held the bouquet of flowers with which she had to look better with her bride dress.In her eyes, the sea of emotions that was pounding inside her heart was reflected. She had taken the biggest step and although many people say that the first step is the most difficult, now she realized that it was not s

That wedding was not the typical wedding where the protagonists danced their hearts out. That wedding was not the typical wedding where the guests could smell the love of the newlyweds a mile away because the truth was that it had not been a typical wedding and much less would it be a typical marriage full of love.As soon as Crystal was taken out of the wedding by her grandfather's men after she found out what had happened, Crystal arrived at the hotel where they were supposed to make people believe they would spend their first wedding night.The road had only served to fill her with courage against what was in front of her. Maybe her life wasn't going to be the same anymore, but she wasn't about to make it any more miserable than it already was.In the room, there was no sign of her husband. The luxuries of that simple room made her think she was already at home living with him.For that night, only one bed.Slowly, Crystal took off her dress and everything that had been worth a fo

Somewhere, surely, the Brandon she remembered from her childhood and part of her adolescence had been lost. Somewhere she had to leave those memories she had of him, somewhere she had lost her happiness and all that she had dreamed of. And being that way, wanting to forget everything, Crystal changed for the dress that remained on the bed. She couldn't deny it, the man still had good taste.Nine thirty in the evening. She didn't show up. He was losing assurance that she would be able to attend this grand celebration. After all, they were husband and wife and as such, they had to behave in front of the world that already saw them and knew they had been married for days although the truth was that they had been married for a few hours.In his mind the last conversation he had had with her and the way he had told her that she should not believe the role of wife even though they were going to live under the same roof. How to do it? He didn't even know how to be a good husband if at the fi

In Wyatt's mind there could be nothing else but that idea involving the woman he danced with in the most relaxed way ever known. Those waves, those vibrations, those emotions he felt Crystal emanate as they danced were difficult to put into words.In Wyatt's mind, how could Brandon have married her? Not exactly talking about her beauty, but what she was by nature. How much longer until the thought entered his mind that she was Brandon Lambert's wife?“Do you enjoy it?” Wyatt asked as he saw her smile.The smile promptly disappeared from her face. If he had noticed that, surely the people around him had too, what were they going to say about seeing a married woman enjoying herself with someone else?“I keep thinking about it, I didn't think Brandon would marry a woman like you.”“What are you talking about?”“Did you see that picture in your room?”Crystal's heart stopped as her steps became clumsy. That man knew more than she thought he would.“What's wrong with that picture?” Crystal

And suddenly, her delicate body jumped as if it were an involuntary movement. Little by little, second by second, feeling herself waking up in the new day, feeling that this was not her place although yes, her little big eyes were opening little by little.Moments from the night before began to come to her mind. Even she could not recognize the place at a glance because that ceiling, those decorations on the walls, those paintings and everything that made that room to be, had no room in her mind to be compared. The truth is that she felt like a guest, a woman who had slept in someone else's house just for one night.Without feeling the time pass, after rubbing her eyes for a brief moment, Crystal sat up in bed as she leaned back against the headboard. It was then that she realized that her dress, the same one she had worn the night before, was on the floor. That way, she finally managed to remember everything from that night. She had slept so soundly that she couldn't even remember wh

Those dreams, those illusions that she once had, those dreams with which she went to bed every night for every time she felt she was getting closer to her goal, today were nothing more than pieces of a life that never saw the light, that simply remained wanting to be just that, a life. The life that was no longer hers because it now belonged to the people who had married her to the person she fell in love with when she was just a child. There was nothing left, nothing left of that life that she had begun to build and that only remained in plans.From her beautiful eyes, tears came out the moment she understood who she was. The pain in the sole of her foot and a little higher up, made her stop almost as soon as she wanted to get up from the floor.She didn't know what hurt more, whether the cuts on her feet or the way that child who was no longer a child had treated her. Like another object, like that glass box, like the broken glass that flooded the floor, she was her. No more than a

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 r

Among all the things she had thought, all the work that creating that project had cost her, there was only one thing that wasn't a total lie. Crystal wasn't having an easy time. The road was always getting a little more complicated for her and when she felt that she was about to achieve her goals she realized that something had to appear and it was always her husband, the person who had come into her life just to make her happy squares. She was going to come out of all that damage unscathed. She was going to get her life back.After learning from a person she trusted that the professor and the same person who had been in the meetings was looking for her simply to tell her the same thing that Mr. Brown had already told her in the office, she preferred to ignore the people who were looking for her.She would find a way to get Brandon to sign the documents without having to get involved further in a one-time issue.Just as she was leaving Mr. Brown's office, Crystal's cell phone rang ins

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

With a smile on her face, Crystal took her bag and was accompanied by Mr. Brown went to the exit while they talked about the new plans that were going to be presented at the company and with Crystal's help, everything would be easier.Finally, Mr. Brown opened the door to his office, letting Crystal out with a smile.She had done it, she had finally given her best and now, she was able to see results."Take care, Crystal," Mr. Brown said goodbye."Thank you, Mr. Brown.”If Crystal only knew that not everything that shone in her world could be gold, if she only knew that there was always someone there willing to harm, willing to sneak into her life, if only she understood that in life not everything could be perfect and that the person who had confused her the most was the same one who would make her path the most difficult.There, right in the place where Crystal had arrived at the least requested moment, was where two destinies became one.Brandon, at what point was fate so cruel as t

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? What many fear is happening. Torment, torment is the name given to the team of two elements that alone have only the power to rule half of the throne in the world of desires while united they are capable of bringing an entire world to its knees, an equally unscrupulous world.Cunning and resentment was all she could be feeling at that moment because while her heart was breaking for that unborn child, much less never conceived.Cunning and resentment were everything in her when it came to recovering the life that was hers.While with tears in her eyes, remembering the humiliation that Brandon, her husband, had put her through a few hours ago, Crystal took the time she needed to begin that day full of opportunities that one day she promised herself.Life was so simultaneous. A world of opportunity on

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. Brandon was never going to do it, for him she was just a birthing machine, who was destined to give him a child, who was destined to remain silent and not say anything. Brandon didn't love her, he didn't know what had happened
