I started working with Marta at the Larousse publishing house. I had made my friend move in with me permanently. My grandfather had the entire orphanage refurbished. He left it like new. He became his godfather and enabled him with all the facilities he could. And he awarded scholarships to the most capable children.

Marta was so happy that she couldn't stop talking. Since she was an orphan, she had no family. Furthermore, we had all grown very fond of her, especially me. She was the sister I never had, and her company made me happy. I proposed to her to be my babies' nanny by paying her, so that she would stop working from cafe to cafe. At first she was not convinced, because of the work schedule. But by combining her schedule with Eugenia's and mine, where we organized it very well so that no one had to miss their things, she was very happy and accepted. Making me truly happy.  

We lived for four happy years on the outskirts of Paris, until my grandfather sat me dow

    Marta is very happy with me. She feels like family. The children call her Auntie. She spoils them. She has not been able to find another job in her specialty, because she does not speak the language. And now she is studying, to be able to find a job. At the moment, she takes care of my little ones, and keeps my grandmother company, who is very delicate from the last operation, although I think she is very sad for my father, who hasn't been to see her in a long time.Although my grandparents have a lot of money, I dedicate myself to looking for work in publishing houses. I want to be able to be independent of them. That's why I have decided to go for an interview tomorrow. I hope they accept me. There is nothing more tedious and stressful for young people than job interviews. Even though we've been here for a month, I haven't shown up to any of them yet. I have dedicated myself, helped by Marta, to researching possible publishers that could hire me without the

    I do everything she tells me. I take the elevator and take several deep breaths until I reach the fifth floor. I leave when the door opens. A great silence greets me. Luckily it is true. The secretary, a very kind lady, greets me and after verifying that it is me, tells me to sit down. And here I am, half an hour before the interview is scheduled, sitting in the anteroom of a large office, next to the secretary's desk, who finally calls me. "Isabella Sardino Giménez? Please come in. Mr. Christian will attend to you in a moment." Wow, is he in? And I was waiting all the time to see him appear in the elevator to see what he was like. I stand up, adjust my skirt very well, which tends to ride up when I sit down, and walk towards the door that she indicates. As I pass by her, I thank her. "Thank you very much, Miss." "Good luck, and don't be scared by the appearance of his office," she warns me. I take a breath and decide. I walk as calmly as possible, I play lightly and listen to

    The Ceo stared at my papers for a moment and then looked at me carefully. He looked around his office cluttered with papers on all sides before smiling and telling me."So..., you will start tomorrow. Okay? We are swamped with work." he says with a smile without taking his eyes off me."Yes, sir. No problems. For me, we start today." I answered full of happiness, I really had nothing to do and I didn't mind initiating."No, take your time. I won't be here today and you won't be able to do anything. I need to be the one to explain to you everything you need to do in the position I give you. Come first thing tomorrow morning and we'll start," he explained kindly while still looking at me with his beautiful blue eyes. "Okay, Mr. Christian." I agreed, thinking I needed clothes. I would go shopping."You will work directly with me." He continued explaining to me very professionally without taking his eyes off me. "My assistant is currently on maternity leave. You will take his place,

    After hanging up on my grandfather, leave the papers in the car, lock it tightly, and walk towards the shopping street that is a little further down from the company. I want to concentrate on my work, not be the subject of gossip from other workers. Thank goodness I'll be on the management floor. I don't know why the director reminds me of someone. Have I met him and I don't remember? He's really handsome. Maybe I saw it at one of the many symposiums I participated in in France. That's probably it. Be careful, Isabella, don't fall in love. Remember your two suitcases, they are waiting for you at home. No one will accept me with them. I arrive at the shopping street and stop thinking about where to go. I'm not really sure. The few times I came to this place I did it with my mother, or my grandmother as a child. As an adult I never came alone. Um...I think it's that way, if that's where I want to go. I turn right and head to the shopping center. After a few turns, I finally found wha

    And that's when I realized that it was with my new boss that I collided spectacularly. He leans down, taking my arm, to help me up. My skin crawls completely at the contact of his hand and a strange and unknown shudder shakes me completely. "Mr. Christian! Excuse me, I was very entertained and I didn't see it!" I said, letting go of his grip. "It's okay," he says, looking straight at me and smiling reconcilingly. "It wasn't just your fault, Miss Sardino. I was also entertainingly looking at some messages on my phone. Are you sure I didn't hurt him and he's okay?" "Yes, I'm fine. It was nothing," I answered without stopping to look into his incredibly beautiful blue eyes. We remain silent for a moment while he looks at me as if he were thinking about something. It seems like he's hesitating whether to ask me something or not. I'm going to speak when I watch him release all his air and start talking. "Isabella...excuse me, Miss Sardino.

    And here we are in the middle of the store, being served by two beautiful ladies, who can't take their eyes off my handsome boss. He comes out of the dressing room, buttoning a beautiful baby blue shirt. I look at him. A rebellious curl of his black hair falls over his forehead and I jump. It is the same, one that I always struggle to fit in my little son's head. "Ma'am," the saleswoman who brings several outfits for me, in her hands, brings me out of my thoughts. "The ladies' changing room is behind there. Your husband is in good hands." My boss and I look at each other. I'm going to clarify the situation, when Christian winks at me and says. "Yes, dear wife, I'm going to help you right away, with your clothes. Accompany the young woman to move forward, we are somewhat behind." I turn all red, and I almost run out, after the girl who is wearing my clothes. I try on various dresses, always getting my boss's disapproval. Until he found a beautiful dark blue, which matches the

    I look at the longing and hopeful expression of my grandmother, and the reproachful one of my grandfather, who shakes his head warning me not to raise my hopes if I am not sure. I do not wish to sadden my beloved grandmother."I think so, Grandpa," I'm not sure, but I don't want to take away my grandmother's hope, who is now smiling happily. "I think I saw it now when Mum passed me by with her entire entourage. There was one like the one Dad used when I was a child and we wanted to hide, that stopped for a moment next to me, but your grandpa's hounds appeared and scared him away. Sorry, Mima, I couldn't see if it was Dad clearly. Surely it is he who comes to see you from afar!" "Bella, don't get your grandmother's hopes up," Grandpa scolds me. "Santiago knows that he doesn't have to hide to see his mother, it must be someone else.""Oh, Grandpa, you are the one who doesn't have to take away her hope. It's him, Mima, who comes to see you!"

    He remains silent, looking into the distance. He lets out a sigh and helps me take out the bags that were still left in my car. "If you don't want to change the car, you should at least use another one, Bella, if you want to delay meeting your mother. Although I still think it's not good for you to hide.""I'm not hiding. I just want to have my job first and feel like a useful and fulfilled woman before facing them.” I tried to convince him, but when I saw the look on his face, I agreed.” Okay, trade me the car." "Really?" He is surprised and at the moment I see his expression filled with joy and I know exactly what that means, he will buy me a car at his whim. So I hasten to say:"Yes, but don't exaggerate, Grandfather." After the kids fall asleep at night, I'm lying in my bed unable to sleep. This whole mess with my parents worries me. I don't want my kids to suffer because of them and I know my mum will call them bastards. I grab my phone and send a message to my unknown frie

    After my visit to Isabella's grandparents' home, I find myself deep in thought. Life, in its unexpected way, has led me to meet people I would never have imagined. Who could have predicted that my new assistant and editor, Isabella, would be someone I knew in my childhood? The irony of the situation is overwhelming. I can't deny that Isabella has a special charm, and her children are adorable. I wonder how I had the courage to say I was their father. Why did I do it? They both looked at me with such cute, eager, expectant little eyes, that I didn't have the courage to tell them I wasn't their daddy. I felt so good when I said, "yes, I am their daddy." Their looks filled me with a strange emotion that prompted me to utter those words. For a moment, I wished with all my heart that it was true. Will I ever be able to have children? It's a question that haunts me constantly. I remember the looks on Isabella and her children's faces as I told them I was their father. Their eyes sparkled

    As he watched her, his gaze was filled with intense hatred. "How could I let her escape my control?" he thought, fixated on how he should have kept her by his side forever. However, as he continued to press his body against hers, Luis noticed a change in Isabella. Her eyes reflected determination and strength, nothing like the scared girl from before. And as he held her, she smiled, not with fear, but with a fire in her eyes that unnerved him.Time seemed to stop as tension built between them. Luis struggled to keep her under his control, while she resisted with a ferocity he had not expected. In a moment of carelessness, Isabella raised her knee and hit him hard in his private parts. Pain coursed through his body, forcing him to let go, writhing from the impact. She took the opportunity and pushed him, causing him to fall to the ground. She ran towards the elevator, adrenaline pumping through her system.Luis tried to get up to follow her, but the pain stopped him. He screamed in fru

    Christian said firmly, taking Isabella's arm in a possessive gesture. As he watched them walk away, Luis was filled with a mixture of hatred and frustration. He needed to understand the dynamic between the two of them, so he set out to find out more details. How do they know each other? What relationship do they have?"I should find out about those two," he told himself, his fists clenched. "I can't let Isabella come and interrupt the plan I have with Adele. If necessary, I will discover her secrets."With that purpose in mind, he returned to the reception, where the secretary greeted him with a professional smile."Good morning," Luis said."Good morning, Luis. How can I help you?" the secretary replied."Do you know what the woman who came in with the boss does?” Luis inquired.The secretary, apparently intrigued by his question, answered him with a touch of sarcasm. “Do you mean Isabella?”Luis looked at her, smiling. "Yes, her. When did she start working here and in what position?

    After ending the call, she purposefully stowed away her phone. She had teamed up with Luis, forming an unusual alliance with a singular goal: to make Christian fall in love! She needed him to be her husband to liberate herself from the clutches of her father, who offered her no respite. She yearned to swiftly realize her aspirations of eloping with her true love to a secluded haven, where she could vanish without a trace, consuming her every thought. Weary of being a compliant puppet, subject to her father's caprices.She was convinced that once her father amassed a fortune through his ventures, he would finally leave her be. Recognising that her financial situation was far from ideal, she understood that they had banked on her union with Christian to yield prosperity. However, a fiery outburst had derailed those plans, and her father was unwilling to forgive her. What kind of novel idea was brewing in Luis's mind? That question gnawed at her, yet it also kindled hope that he held the

    Adele entered her father's office, where he was engaged in a conversation and gestured for her to wait. She stood still, feeling scared in the centre of the room. As the call ended, her father walked around the desk and suddenly delivered a forceful slap that sent her tumbling face down onto the floor. He glared at her with intense hatred."You couldn't even handle that properly?! You had him under your control, with his memory loss! No one knew about your affair with another man! And now he's rejected you, he's rejected you! I don't know if he'll recall what you did, but everyone knows you cheated on him, and he's turned away from you!""I'm sorry, Dad! I swear I don't know what came over me when I did that foolish act. Give me some time. If I fell in love with him once, I can do it again, especially now that he has no memory. I've met Luis Ibáñez, who now works with him and they're becoming close friends. He promised to help me locate Christian. I'll show up without raising any susp

    The revelation left me momentarily speechless. Christian seemed so different from my recollection, yet the connection was undeniable."Why does your face look so different now?" I blurted out.Christian's response was staggering. He had undergone extensive facial reconstruction following an accident that had left him severely injured. I struggled to process this newfound information."I can't say that I truly know you," I confessed. "We didn't exchange many words during the flight. I was engrossed in my book. You kindly escorted me home when taxis were scarce, but we didn't keep in touch afterward. You mentioned being friends with my grandparents and called me 'Bella.'" Christian appeared intrigued by my account and inquired with genuine interest:"Are your grandparents still alive?""Yes, they reside with me," I confirmed. "Why do you ask?"Christian's suggestion that my grandparents might aid in triggering memories from his past intrigued and exhilarated me."Perhaps they could assi

    On the other hand, Santiago revisited his mother, parking his car at a distance this time. Waiting until nightfall, he crept through the garden surrounding his parents' house, reminiscent of his youth when he would sneak away from home. Eavesdropping by his bedroom window, he overheard a conversation between his father, mother, and daughter."Mima is right, Grandpa. That car she mentioned was Dad's; I remember it clearly. Yes, Mima, Dad is on his way to see you; he adores you.""Bella, don't get your grandmother too excited. If it were Santiago, he wouldn't need to keep his distance; he knows our doors are always open to him. Even if I was upset, I would never stop him from visiting his mother.""Mima says he's scared of you; that's why he hasn't come.""And what would you have me do? Should I leave so he can visit?""She didn't say that, Grandpa. Can you go talk to him? Maybe it's as I said; Dad feels guilty for missing Mima's surgeries and doesn't know how to face us now.""Coming,

    Santiago acquiesced to the request, although his thoughts lingered on the prior accusations. Nonetheless, Eva persisted, unveiling a new revelation that triggered alarms in Santiago's mind. "You make the call, but kindly refrain from any altercations with my mother or, even more so, with Isabella. Are you certain Isabella is coming? I understand she works in France, so it's peculiar that she would abandon her esteemed position there. Perhaps she's merely visiting." Eva spoke with a mischievous glint in her eyes, prompting Santiago to suspect she harboured concealed intentions. "She's back for good. Your father informed the doctor. I overheard their conversation distinctly, and you know what?""What?""She's back for good. She's neither wed nor engaged!" she disclosed with a gleam in her eye, leading Santiago to suspect she was plotting something."How do you know? Perhaps she has a clandestine partner in France," Santiago posited in an attempt to counter Eva's insinuation. Unfazed,

    Eva was taken aback. It was the first time Santiago had threatened her with divorce, and that couldn't be a positive sign. Dr. Alfonso undoubtedly had something to do with this, she was sure. Santiago was beginning to realise what she had been doing to him for years, she reflected. However, his recovery was rapid. She concealed her embarrassment behind a hypocritical smile that barely touched her lips."Don't be like that. I'm sorry for what I said before. You know that if she doesn't love me, I don't love her either. But that doesn't mean I wish her harm. It wasn't today, it was yesterday when I saw her. She appeared to be emaciated, although not entirely bad," Santiago explained. Santiago sank into the chair slowly, his gaze fixed on Eva. Something was being concealed, he sensed it, and was determined to uncover it. He vowed to rise early and visit the doctor without delay; he promised himself not to let any more time pass before seeing his mother and daughter. Yet, a nagging conc
