Vengeance, that was the main reason why Vivian had put on this whole show... And it had worked out very well.Those were the consequences that Edan would have to face for daring to want to leave her for a dead fly like Alma, a poor girl who was nothing compared to a woman like her.But there was something else, she needed time... Her parents would quickly find out about her pregnancy by reviewing Vivian's expenses and statements.And when they noticed a bill for a visit to the gynecologist with an echo and a pregnancy test, they would immediately hold you accountable.That's why Vivian needed a scapegoat, at least until the time was right to bring the whole truth to light.Why would I! She was counting on everyone to know the truth, only in due time.Surely her parents would be angry to find out the truth, which was obvious, but in the end, they would support her, because Vivian is, and always has been, their spoiled child.*“Get married? Edan raised an eyebrow, puzzled.It was one t
“Then... You fell in love with your fake wife. Diego repeated for the umpteenth time, Edan's friend and lawyer, talking over the hustle and bustle of the club, unable to believe it."She's not my fake wife!" You yourself witnessed that we really got married. Edan reiterated, much more frustrated than he had been."Yes, but you didn't marry her just to make a real marriage. Diego uttered, amazed by the irony of his friend."Are you going to repeat the same thing over and over again, or are you going to help me with something?" Edan asked, his jaw clenched."I'm sorry, brother, but it's hard to believe..." A guy like you... in love? And from an innocent girl, how do I deduce that she is? Because... From everything you told me, Alma doesn't have much malice.“Ah! Now you're going to judge me. Edan growled, taking another drink."What do you want me to tell you?" It's what you earn by creating that tangle of lies and the worst... You wrapped an innocent young woman in your nets...“You kn
Edan's parents were entering the office, just as Ricardo was saying goodbye at the door.“Dad? Edan asked, surprised."Oh, Edan! I'm sorry, shall we interrupt you? We were just passing by to say hello and Lucy wasn't at the entrance, so..." Erick explained, as he entered the office and noticed that Edan was not alone.“No way! Is that your parents? Ricardo asked Edan, evidently excited.“Yes, sir. In a very solemn manner, Erick stretched out his hand to Ricardo. "Erick O'Connor and she's my wife, Angelica. After the handshake, Ricardo stretched out his hand to Angelica, who couldn't resist her curiosity.“And you are? She asked the stranger."Nice to meet you, I'm Ricardo Contreras, Alma's father. The couple was surprised, but a moment later, Erick was spreading a huge smile."I can't believe it, until we finally meet. Erick commented enthusiastically and Ricardo assumed that he was saying it because of his recent disappearance.“Yes, well, I'm sorry I couldn't meet you sooner... But
By the end of that week, Edan was feeling hopeless, problems starting to pile up.At first, Alma continued with the same elusive attitude.Second, Edan's visit with Vivian to a new doctor had not yielded the expected result and had corroborated it... Vivian was pregnant.And third, Erick insisted that Edan organize the family dinner, which was a problem.There was no way to tell Alma that Erick had met Ricardo and suggested dinner, without telling her that Ricardo himself had visited Edan in his office.And although at first, Edan did not want Alma to find out about the recent business relationship she had made with Ricardo, that had now changed.What was Ricardo doing visiting Edan in his office? Alma would ask questions and Edan knew he couldn't lie to her, he had to tell her the truth, and that same weekend, he planned to do so.*Saturday arrived... Just a week ago, Edan and Alma had given themselves completely to each other, and now, they seemed like a pair of strangers.However,
Although at first, Luz, Alma's mother, was a little reluctant, having to attend a family dinner at Edan's apartment to meet his parents.It was, above all, the fact that he was attending with Ricardo, that he liked least about the matter.However, for the sake of her daughter and for the contract Alma had signed, Luz decided to accept.A week had passed, and the day of the family dinner had arrived.The first to arrive were the O’Connor’s, whom Edan greeted with great enthusiasm, while Alma was still getting ready.Although in reality, she was in her room taking deep breaths and trying to control her nerves.Because it was one thing to have to simulate and improvise in any eventuality in front of Edan's parents, however, controlling what his parents said would not be possible.Although Luz was aware of all the deception, the contract and the kind of people who were Edan's parents, thanks to her constant talks with Alma.Ricardo didn't know anything, so Alma hoped he wouldn't say anyth
Edan stood still for a moment, had his mother figured it out? How had that happened?He weighed the situation, he could admit the whole lie and bear the consequences, but his father was still not fully recovered, how would he take it when he found out? Would it affect your health?And there was something else, if his parents found out the truth, the fake marriage, it would no longer make sense... That only meant one thing: Alma would leave her home and her life.How could I keep it? How could he keep her by his side with a pregnant Vivian?Then... He had only one option: Deny everything."I don't understand what you're talking about. Edan finally replied, looking very determined.“No? You told your father and me that Alma came from a good family, you gave us to understand that they were of a good social standing and obviously, that's not true.“What? Edan, genuinely confused, though undeniably, was greatly relieved to see that his mother did not speak of what he thought, the false mar
A week later, Alma had finished her college finals.She was really happy, finally, good news had come like a ray of light in the midst of so much sadness.He had been informed that he had passed all the exams and, in a few weeks, he would start with the internship... That meant she was very close to graduating.For that reason, she was getting ready to go to her mother's house, she wanted to celebrate with her family, take them for a walk and take them to lunch at a nice restaurant.And I had also thought about taking the little ones to a park, it had been a long time since they had gone out to have fun, they deserved it too.After all, she had enough money, for the first time in her life, Alma earned enough to support her family well, and she wasn't stupid either.Edan had paid him so well, that from his salary, he could not only support his family, but he had also saved good money for when the time came to quit this job.With all she saved, she and her family could support themselve
Edan was in the office, accompanied by his mother, he had finally told her the whole truth, in great detail."You must tell your father," Angelica said at the end of the story.“I can't. He replied without hesitation. "If something were to happen to Dad because of me..." Edan's voice trailed off, he couldn't even finish the sentence.“Well... The truth is, Vivian's pregnancy could affect him and if he finds out that Henry wants to marry her, he may and Erick has a heart attack... But as for Alma... He's better now and if you explain it calmly, he'll understand.Edan got up from his desk and walked thoughtfully toward the huge pane of glass. "That would mean ending the contract, and if the fake marriage ends, my relationship with Alma will end as well..."“Edan... That fake marriage will end at any moment, how much of your contract do you have left? A month? A month and a half? How do you intend to retain Alma afterwards? Vivian's pregnancy will still be there by that time and from wha
