Tears of helplessness came from Crystal's eyes. He had to be a damn unscrupulous being, a damn man who didn't care how much she might be suffering at that moment. “Go to hell, damn son of a bitch!” Crystal shouted with all her might.Smiling, as if that was all he knew how to do, Brandon turned around only to find that white rose that was 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, thus celebrating her femininity for giving him a son, a son who would be the blessing of everyone belonging to that family, he took it from the vase with the intention of giving it to her.The doctor and the nurse made a superhuman effort to keep her still. Reinforcements were already on the way.Kissing that rose so delicately, Brandon placed it on Crystal's hands, the same one that moved from side to side wanting to get those women off of her.“I don't know if you've been given roses before, but what better time to give
A signature that had changed everything, a petition that had changed the course of two lives, they were nothing more than 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 the people who liberated a lower world. Giving your life was giving you the opportunity to continue being the one who sat on the throne from where you could see everything, decide for everything and thus, make as many changes as you wanted.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 exit of the hospital and then drove his car.And in the total solitude in which a soul can find itself, Brandon continued on his way. From his mind he could not remove the images of that woman who, with tears of terror or hatred, was able to become strong
After approximately forty minutes that had passed since Sebastian's arrival, he entered through the same door for the third time. By that time he already had the necessary documents to leave there, which she had expected since the second time he entered. "Ready, Crystal, it's time to go," said Sebastian, sitting next to the person who needed him the most."Thank you, Sebastian, thank you for being here," Crystal said, looking him in the eyes.The meaning of his name was there, in the look she gave him, her crystalline eyes, her eyes full of tears ready to come. He didn't know what had happened to her and yet, he wished that only good things could come from it.It was that way that people were corrupted. Because the world was like that, the world could not bear to see the genuineness of the human heart, the world was always going to be against it and it was going to reveal itself until it made that heart part of them, part of the evil of the world. How could love be born only when it
Three buttons down, the sleeves of the shirt folded halfway up the arm as if at some point during the day it had made it difficult for him to carry out his activities, on his right hand, a gold watch that adorned that man's wrist.Getting out of the car, carrying his jacket in his right hand, Brandon continued on his way until he entered that white house, probably the largest considering all the houses, land and everything they owned.His footsteps only let you know that fury had sound, Brandon continued up the stairs until the doors opened.The perfect white floor, women dressed in white and black went from one side to the other smiling in a friendly manner as if in this way they were saying that they were under the orders of the man who had just arrived. “Where is the president?” Brandon asked one of the women passing by.“Mr. Lambert, your grandfather is in his study, he is in the company of Mr. Bennett.” “Adolfo Bennett is here?!”“Yes, Mr. Brandon.”Trying to calm his fury beca
Once again Wyatt smiled. She was so interested in that woman that she could already know what she was going for. “If you want to win Brandon's heart, I can help you get Tábata out of the way.”“I'm not interested in playing like you're used to playing?”“Are you sure?”“More than sure, never before in my life could I be more so than now.”“For Brandon, there is no woman more perfect than Tábata, the one who helps him keep track of his dates, the one who is with him day and night, the one who ended up solving his problems when he preferred to go drinking with his friends while inviting more women to be with him. For Brandon, there cannot be a more perfect woman than the same one who went to pick him up from the bars when he went out for drinks. There could be no more perfect wife than that one!” Wyatt said, drinking from the wine glass.Suddenly, Crystal felt the need to look away. Even if in her heart she could only feel hatred for him, there was a part of her that still retained tha
The morning started like any other, or at least that's what Brandon wanted to think when he woke up. His eyes became accustomed to the daylight, he immediately realized what had happened the previous night. Sunday, it had been Sunday and all he could think was that the new day was called Monday. As soon as that word was named in his mind, Brandon got up from the floor to run to the closet and grab the clothes he was going to wear for that day. He didn't even want to know the time, but something inside him told him that it was very late, so late that he wanted to be impressed by realizing that at least he had just enough time to get to school.Tábata was already at the entrance of that school, waiting for Brandon, the same one for whom she did not seem to have peace, for whom she was always worried, for whom she always wanted the best. Hitting her nails against her notebooks, Tábata tried to see a little further than what her eyesight really allowed her to see. Neither Wyatt nor Brando
Sebastian had understood something. He wasn't going to pressure her, he wasn't going to say anything, he wasn't going to do anything to make her feel pressured and, as a consequence, talk about what was happening to her. He just hoped she knew something. He was always going to be there to stand up to her, he was always going to be there for her no matter what, he really wanted that to stay in her mind. If she wasn't ready to talk, he respected it and would always respect her. Who said that friendships between a man and a woman couldn't be? There was Sebastian and her cousin to prove something else because beyond being her cousin, her doctor, he was her friend, the most sincere she could have had."Are we going to eat something or did you eat too much at that restaurant?" Sebastian asked.The tension had completely dropped. Crystal managed to smile after so long. Her cousin was there for her in just the way she needed him. "No, I didn't eat almost anything," she said.“Do you wa
With a smile on his face, Brandon knew how to be aware of that smile that she was giving him in a shameless way for him. And he still didn't believe that it only took a few hours for her to change completely, for her to return home as an unknown person, a person who didn't feel anything and who at that moment could be exposed.That's how all the women he had been with were, that's how they all were, being shameless women, women who only saw the highest bidder and gave themselves to them as if it were anything. They were all like that except one, the one who was now damaging his soul just by feeling divided by the woman who had returned being completely shameless."Will you go with me or not? I mean, it's not that I'm looking to command your time, but I have somewhere to get to on time," Crystal said without further ado.Brandon looked at her wanting to find the real reason why she had changed so quickly."To what do I owe this change?" Brandon asked, putting his hands on his waist as
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
