115. DINNER WITH PARENTS
Last Updated:
2025-01-12 12:05:05I offer my arm to Mum to get as far away from Adele as possible. But when I get to the table, Dad has arranged it in such a way that Adele is next to me. Not minding, I sit down and talk about the company with Dad, who is very excited about the accomplishments I am having. I completely ignore the person sitting next to me. Mum catches my eye and asks me.
"Chris, do you think you can take Adele home when you leave?" Mum's question feels like a trap, but I've come prepared for all her tricks."Sorry, Mum, I rented a room here at the hotel to stay longer with you. Seriously, I need my parents on a day like today, no one else, except my sister," I reply in a distressed voice, staring fixedly into her eyes. I add, so as not to seem rude, "I'll ask my driver to take Adele. But today I really need your company.""No need, Christian. I can call mine to pick me up. I don't know if you heard that Dad left me working in his company's office here," Adele says, a bit upset.<

After Christian left, I entered the house and went to see where my children were. I find them playing happily with Marta, who upon seeing me, immediately comes to meet me."Tell me what happened, where did it end up?""My grandfather just married me off to Christian for real," I tell her. "I told you at lunch! I thought it was all going to be a simple deal a few times, but I seem to have fallen into a trap. My grandfather colluded with my boss to trap me!""Ha ha ha ha..., you don't change, Bella. Don't start with your insecurities, it's just a deal so Mima can see your daddy!"She tells me firmly, and she might be right, I don't know. It's just that I saw a weird glow in their eyes, as if they were communicating without speaking. It's something I can't explain, and the way he kissed me when he left, it was different. I don't want to imagine anything, but I hope it's a mistake."So stop seeing ghosts where there are none

"So if you noticed at dinner, they weren't my ideas?" I ask as I hear what she tells me. "She was very happy watching us together. You said I was paranoid. Well, maybe I am a little bit, and I'm imagining all this stuff I'm telling you. Now tell me how you think I should behave tomorrow at work?""You just play along with Christian; he looks like he knows how to treat women. He's already started by kissing you on the face, hee, hee, hee...""Don't make fun, Marta. You created the script, but I'm the one who has to carry out the action. And I don't like being an actress!" I yell at her as I throw a pillow at her, seeing how amused she is. "Now how do you think I should dress? Because I'm not just going to be the new editor who just started. I'm going to be the wife of the owner of the company! I'm sure my nerves will get the best of me, and I'll mess everything up.""I'll find you some clothes, and I'm sure Mima will help me. You just concentrate on going

After finishing dinner, they retired to their respective rooms, with Grandpa and Grandma settling into theirs. She gently touched his shoulder to capture his attention and asked, "Did you truly marry Christian and Isabella, or is it merely a ruse to deceive Santi?""Yes, I did indeed," Grandpa responded earnestly. "I couldn't let that opportunity pass by, and you must assist me in making this marriage a reality. We couldn't have found a better match for our Isabella!""Does Bella know about this?" she inquired further."No, she's unaware of anything, which is why I'm confiding in you. It's precisely as you heard. Christian, despite his memory loss, is an ideal match for our Isabella. I don't believe that aspect has altered his true character; he's still a remarkable man. And you witnessed how he embraced the children and expressed his desire to be their father. This is an opportunity we can't afford to miss!""I'm not so sure about your interpretation

"Yes, and he had accepted. He simply told her that she had to do the same for him. That's why I'm telling you, he's just as keen as we are for this marriage to become a reality, and we must assist him.""Do the same for him? What do you mean?""She'll have to accompany him to his house, introduce herself as his wife, and present the children as his own.""Did Christian really ask her to do that? Do you think he remembers Bella?""I doubt it. He seems to have forgotten all about it. Didn't you notice how excited he became when he remembered your cake?""Yes, poor thing, he was genuinely thrilled. Losing one's memory must be dreadful. So, do you reckon he's taken a liking to her now?""What I believe is, Christian has found Bella attractive since they met. He saw an opportunity to marry her and seized it. You can't deny that Bella is a very beautiful woman, and perhaps he feared that if he fell in love with her properly, she wouldn't accept hi

"I hope so too, my dear. That's why we're going to fight as we have been to make her happy. How are you feeling? You look much better than you did this morning.""I won't deny it, dear. All this with Bella has given me courage to go on living. And the news that I'll see my son on Sunday has made me very happy.""I'm glad to hear that. I think you haven't recovered because of the depression you're experiencing, not because the treatment didn't work. Go to sleep now, dear; tomorrow will be another day. Good night."At six o'clock in the morning, I opened my eyes to the sound of the alarm clock. I was surprised to find my grandma in my room, selecting clothes from my closet. Next to her, Marta was communicating with her through sign language."What are you doing?" I asked, seeing that they hadn't noticed I was awake."Good morning, Bella," my grandmother greeted me with a wave. "We're choosing what you're going to wear. We know you hav

I hung up the phone and informed Marta, who was bathing the children. Leaving the milk on the table, I returned to my room to dress. "I'm going to look splendid today," I reassured myself. The attire Mima had chosen for me was indeed elegant. A white blouse adorned with frills hugged my frame, paired with a black skirt that fell to my knees, complemented by matching shoes and purse. My grandmother entered at that moment, gesturing for me to let my hair down. After applying my usual makeup, with just a touch of blush, I prepared to embrace my new role as a wife."Do I look alright, Mima?" I inquired, already anticipating her response."Beautiful," she signed back, her hands conveying the message eloquently. "From now on, you should dress like this. I'll purchase more clothes in this style for you.""I trust your taste, but let's not go overboard," I replied, giving her a warm hug. The blare of Christian's car horn jolts me from my reverie. I scramble to catch up with Lucia and Lucas,

Christian quickly covers my mouth, indicating that the driver might overhear. I realize the risk I was about to take and turned my head, staring out of the window. Arriving at the restaurant, I notice everything is perfectly arranged. Our table is reserved, and the food is exquisite. Christian keeps regaling me with tales from his life and inquiring about my children's preferences, but my mind wanders elsewhere. How can I enjoy a meal with my boss after what happened and Luis's ominous threats? Reporters snap pictures of us, yet my boss seems pleased with the attention. Is he relishing my discomfort? Despite my silence, a creeping fear grows within me that a certain woman will uncover the truth sooner than expected. We returned to the company after lunch and resumed our work. We had already prepared two more presentations for our new project, but my thoughts were elsewhere. As I was preparing to leave, my phone rang. I listened to the caller, feeling a shiver run down my spine. I

Luis, upon hearing that, swallows dryly knowing that it was because of what he did to Isabella, the attack in the elevator and how he scratched the car."No, that's enough. I guess I don't have to do anything after all if she's the boss's wife, right?""Same here, she owns all this as he does,” says the employee and adds confidentially. “They have been married for several years, so they have not made it known to anyone, so don't tell anyone either. What I'm telling you is confidential."Luis breathed in disbelief at his own stupidity the first day he saw Isabella; he should have found out more. "I owe you one”It's nothing, although it looks like the boss is going to announce it to everyone, some girls told me a while ago. But until Mr. Christian announces it, don't go commenting that I told you so."Why do you say that?" he asked curiously, thinking that Christian should have announced it the first day he brought Isabella. But he heard the employee say. “That was what the girls at

I watch him leave and I'm left feeling scared. I keep looking at the news in the newspapers and what they're saying about me is horrible, surely Dad will come when he sees this. What was I thinking? And my father-in-law? Will he be upset because I involved him in this plan? I just asked him to accompany me, I knew he would find them, he had them checked. He must know where Christian is, he has something to locate both of them."I won't stay here waiting for the police to come, I'll go to their room, I have to put on a good show, because if they implicate me in Christian's kidnapping, I'm finished. That must be Dad. I take my phone, and yes, it's him. He must have found out everything by now. What the hell was I thinking when I did that?! I take a deep breath and answer."Hello.""Can you tell me what on earth was going through your head to commit such a stupid act?!""Dad, let me explain, I didn't do anything, I just accompanied my father-in-law. The rest happened on its own.""Do you

As she speaks, she takes out everything she has. They reach the room where Christian is still asleep, having a very restless sleep. Doctor David immediately begins examining him; he has dealt with many cases like this in the association he works for. Santiago informs him of the type of drug Christian was given. At that Munent, Doctor Alfonso also arrives with the results of all the tests he conducted."We need to start him on a drip right away; we also have to give him all his medications. I managed to find out some but not all," Doctor Alfonso says."I have them here, doctor," Christie shows them again. "These are all the medications my brother takes, along with the dosages and how he takes them.""That's very helpful; pass me the information. I think you should all leave now and let the doctors take care of him."Everyone rushes out of the room, leaving the doctors engrossed in attending to Christian. Isabella is very scared, along with her sister. Marta starts making tea in the kit

At this moment, they are interrupted by Grandma Tania, who asks them to come for tea. Grandpa follows them immediately, inviting them to the living room. The children's laughter makes them turn their heads to see them running towards them. They arrive and throw themselves into their arms, kissing them happily."Grandpa, you came to see me!" exclaims Lucia excitedly."Yes, my girl, I came to see both of you. We came because your grandma also came to see you.""Does Grandma love us too?" asks Lucas."I have always loved you," replies Grandma as she leans in to kiss him. "You look just like your dad when he was your age.""Really, Grandma? Do I look like my dad?" asks Lucas excitedly."And me, Grandma, who do I look like?" Lucy asks in turn."You look a lot like your aunt, you even have dimples on your cheeks," Mrs. Thompson replies excitedly."Really, Grandma? Why are you crying?" Lucy asks."I'm not crying, I'm just excited and happy to see you.""Mun and Dad aren't here," says Lucas.

"Dad, I have to tell you something now that you said that.""What thing?" he asks as we walk towards the room where Chris sleeps."Yesterday afternoon, when we went to the market to buy clothes to go to the club, we ran into his parents, and my father-in-law..., my father-in-law...""What about your father-in-law, Bella? What did that heartless man do to you?"Upon hearing him shout furiously and seeing the terrible expression of hatred on his face, I become frightened and no longer think it's a good idea to tell him. However, I've already started and can't stop now. I will continue to trust my father as I did my secret friend. I won't hide anything from him; he seems to know Mr. Thompson very well."He was looking at me in a strange way, I thought he was comparing me to Adele, but... but... you know I don't have much experience with men, dad. But I think he was looking at me as a woman; I even saw him licking his lips while looking at my breasts.""Heartless womaniser! He hasn't chan

I don't know what to think or say right now. I told him so many things, shared my fears, talked about him, about Mum. Now I understand why my secret friend knew how I thought and understood perfectly without much explanation of what I told him, and gave me such good advice. I run towards him and hug him again, happy that he shows me in that way how much he loves me."Are you not upset?""No, I'm not.""Can I now be your best friend instead of your secret friend?""Yes, yes, Dad, I would really like that!" "Then answer me honestly all those questions I asked you." I pause, right now I want to tell him the whole truth, but I'm ashamed of what I did, going to the club, not knowing who the father of my children is, and above all, that Christian is not. I promised not to tell anyone, but Dad is no one; he's my dad! I slump into a chair not knowing what to do or say. It's not just my secret; I need to discuss it with Christian and even with Grandpa. For now, I'll tell him only what I can

Standing before my father, who observes me in silence, I patiently wait for him to speak. What does it mean that Christian is here in his house, and what did the doctor mean by that? He gestures for me to follow him into the study, and I do so quietly. He sits at his desk and switches on the computer."I want you to see this, Bella. Before I tell you anything, and for you to understand why your husband did what he did."I approach slowly, feeling like I'm about to witness something unpleasant, but I need to know. As I arrive, I see a video of a young man stumbling around a house, his gaze vacant as if he doesn't recognise anyone. I focus and realise it's not our house; it's another one. When the man turns, I see that it's my father when he was young. There's another person being taken away whom I can't recognise because their face is blurred."What does this mean, Dad?""That drug they gave your husband yesterday. That day, my girlfriend was supposed to meet me and disappeared; I neve

I catch Christian's face and kiss him, making him forget about them. I keep doing it for the rest of the night, even when we get into the limousine, I don't let go of him. We are all a bit drunk. But Christian instructs the driver to stop."Christie, take this key and go with David and Marta to the hotel where my company's party will be held.""Why my brother?" she protests. "I'm very tired! Whatever it is can wait until tomorrow.""I want to check something. Please, Chris, do as I ask," he turns when he sees she is really drunk. "Take care of them, David. Let's go, Bella."We get out of the limousine, which drives away, leaving us in the complete darkness of the street. Another car approaches, and we get in; it's one of the security guards' cars."Where to, boss?" the driver asks. I am also a bit drunk, so I just follow my husband without knowing what he wants to do."Take us to the estate," he orders very seriously, and I still don't understand. "I di

I jump to my feet and we head to the dance floor. He wraps me in his arms and we dance non-stop for over an hour, laughing and completely happy with my husband, who also seems to be enjoying himself. We return to our table to rest for a bit. The girls are lost, but we're not worried, they're well taken care of. I see Christian furrow his brow and follow his gaze, and I can't believe it. Adele is a little further away, with a woman I can't quite identify, but she seems familiar!"Bella, by any chance are you wearing something my parents gave you?" Christian asks suspiciously as he inspects me."No, my love, why do you ask? You know I don't like jewellery, I only have these earrings that are gifts from my mum and the ring you gave me, nothing else.""I'm starting to suspect that one of us has a follower who tells them where we are," he says as he takes another sip of his drink, still looking towards where she is.

I go to Marta's room, who is clad in very tight black trousers that accentuate her beautiful body. Her hair is tousled and adorned with garments, reminding me of the wild girl I met in France."Marta! I almost didn't recognise you!" I exclaim, truly astonished to see her."Why haven't you dressed yet?" she asks, ignoring my exclamation as if it were nothing."I came to see what you were going to wear to match. I've never been to a nightclub, you know," I explain, unable to stop looking at her; she is truly beautiful. "Marta, you've really surprised me. You're very beautiful and you were hiding it.""Stop exaggerating, I just fixed up a bit. What do you mean you don't know what to wear? Bella, we bought you the clothes you should wear, put them on.""Don't you think it's too tight?""No!"At that moment, both she and Christie, who appears dressed almost the same as Marta but in gold trousers, say simultaneously.
