Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 41 – It's None of Your Business
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,
Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 42 – A Family Dinner
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
Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 43 – He's a Liar Pig
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

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?

Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 46 — Moving
Matthew's presence alone was enough for Edan to feel the flame of fury rising in him.Alma held her breath, seeing him come with that angry expression really intimidated her. Not because he was afraid that Edan might do something to him, but because of the trouble that might form between him and Matthew.She imagined that something like what happened at the dance club the last time they saw each other could happen."What the is going on here?" 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?" Edan growled, clenching his jaw, and clenching his fists at his sides."What do you think you're doing?" Mateo asked, frowning, sliding his eyes to Santiago and Diana, as a way of pointing to the children, who were looking at them in surprise.Edan understood Mateo's sign and looked at the little ones, then looked at everyone present and knew that he had to control
Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 47 – I'll Tell the Whole Truth
“I am sorry.“What? Alma turned to Edan, surprised."I'm sorry for the way I acted, I shouldn't have thought you'd run away with him..." But a lot of times, I get blind, I don't think things through. Edan explained as he drove his Ferrari.It was better to talk now, because Alma's family was coming further back in the van and as soon as they all got to Edan's apartment, there wouldn't be much time or space to talk alone."I understand," Alma exhaled, thoughtfully. "Edan, how did you know?" How did you come to find me home just then? Weren't you supposed to be in the company?“Yes, well... It was because of a call I got in the office that I thought you were leaving...“What do you mean?“I was in the office when they called me about a bank matter, they were surprised by an irregular withdrawal in my account made by an unusual person, when I checked, I noticed that they had cashed all the checks that I had paid you as a bonus... So, I assumed that something might have happened to you or

Edan clenched his fists angrily, how much did he have to endure Vivian's outbursts? He was unwilling to give in to their threats.However, just as he was about to answer, Edan felt a soft, warm hand on his shoulder, which caught his attention."Okay, we don't want to disturb..."“What? He scowled at Alma's comment.“Don't worry, it will only be for a few days until I find a good place to rent.Edan looked at her worriedly, if the point of all this was for Alma to stay in his apartment, with him, and the fact that Alma's family was there, assured him of that."No..." He went to refute when Alma interrupted him."Edan, you must think of your family first..." In your father and in your son. Alma murmured, feeling the lump in her throat, but holding on as long as she could.Edan pursed his lips, Vivian had done it, but it was more because of Alma's intervention than because of her own threat.That same day, Vivian sent for some of her things and set them all up in Edan's room, and by dinn

"You have ten minutes.

Henry grumbled angrily."How do you ask that?" We are your family. Vivian replied, pretending to be indignant."You say so... The first one who came to point at me and accuse me?" Henry muttered, clenching his jaw."And what did you want me to do?" What would allow me to be accused of complicity in accompanying you in this filth? She rebutted decisively, showing her rage.“Henry... It's not the time to argue, we have very little time and we just wanted..." Cassandra cleared her throat and tried to gather courage, trying to calm thi

Henry said and that's where Ethan wanted to go."That's right, my father created that company from scratch and without having resources in his hands, so imagine what could be achieved with the necessary investment available..."

Ethan repeated, trying to absorb his father's words.Edan and Edgar were put on alert, after everything that had happened at the last family gatherings, they no longer knew how their brother might react to Erick's words."How did you hear, Ethan... How did you think the headquarters would leave you after you almost bankrupted it?" And not only that, instead of taking responsibility, you tried to deceive me..."

She asked cautiously, accepting the call."Vivian, send me your location right now. Henry ordered, bluntly.“What? Dad, what are you talking about?

The door to the office opens slightly and the young assistant peeks out.“Lord?Ethan lifts his face, but the girl didn't have a chance to speak, the door slamming open when another person pushes her.

She growled, entering uninvited and leaving the attendant speechless.Ethan gets up with a furrow between his eyebrows, how dare Vivian go look for him at the company? What was he trying to do?
