“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

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.

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 shouted, trying to contain himself with all his might.Matthew, seeing his rival's furious expression and fearing for Alma, crossed Edan's path."What do you think you're doing?"
