Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 45 — A Notification
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

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

“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
Shall we get Married? It's a Deal! Chapter 49 – Thief
Although Alma didn't say anything to Edan so as not to cause more trouble, the next few days were hell.Vivian spewed her venom wherever she went, and the clashes escalated, especially when Vivian tried to mess with a member of Alma's family."You're so beautiful," Diana murmured with a twinkle of innocence in her eyes, as she watched Vivian flip through a magazine in the living room of the apartment."I know, child... Now go... Shu, Shu..." He sniffed at her as if he were a little animal."Can I tell you something without my mom and sister knowing?" The girl murmured without moving from her place."Yes..." Vivian turned around with a sudden interest, this might be her chance to get some information out. "Tell me." He whispered.“Once, I saw a horror movie, one of those that my mother forbids me to do..."Ash! What a bummer..." Vivian murmured, turning to her place, seeing that she was wasting her time with the little girl.“You know? In that movie there was a very beautiful woman, ju

Everyone froze, everyone thought the same thing, Alma was accused of fraud. But how did that happen? And slowly, a mischievous smile was drawn on Vivian's face, that was better than she expected.“I knew it! Vivian shouted, breaking the silence. "I told you, Edan, and you didn't believe me!" That woman is a vulgar careerist and thief! Officer, I want to file my complaint too! Vivian walked toward the officers."Is something wrong, miss?" The policeman was intrigued."Yes, that woman stole my engagement ring and I want to report her as a thief. Vivian explained, standing proudly, and pointing at Alma."Vivian, that's enough!" Edan growled at the woman, addressing the officers. "Excuse me, it's a mistake, this must all be a big mistake."None of that, my dear. Vivian interrupted. "Come on, officers..." And check it out for yourselves, she's got my expensive engagement ring in her room, I know, I'm sure."That's not true..." muttered Alma, feeling her body trembling and tears pooling in

"You have five minutes. The officer growled, opening the gate of Alma's cell, and immediately the young woman threw herself into Edan's arms, trembling, disturbed, crying."Edan, what did they say?" It's very serious, isn't it? Alma looked up, her eyes watering."I'm afraid so. Edan muttered in response, pressing her to his chest."What am I going to do, Edan?" What about my family? Now what will become of them? She muttered, rubbing her face on his chest.Edan was silent for a second, thoughtful, with everything Alma was going through, she was not thinking about her future, but about what would become of her family.He took a deep breath, Diego must have been wrong with his deductions, Alma might not be able to do everything he thought."Don't worry about them, they'll be fine, I'll make sure they do, I promise." Edan whispered, stroking her hair.“Thank you. Alma murmured, squeezing him."I'll get you out of here, you'll see...""But how?" It's obvious that it's all my father's doin

Upon arriving at the airport, Edan rented a car to drive for another hour to the house where Ricardo was supposed to be.The villa that Edan found was majestic, a secluded and exclusive corner that stood out, even more, for the enormous house that stood out on top of a hill.His hands trembled with helplessness, that wretch had gone away and left his whole family to give them up as rich.Eagerly, Edan kept knocking on the door several times, but no one would come out. However, he would not give up, Edan was not there to return empty-handed, and very stealthily, he began to surround the house, looking for another entrance or a half-open window through which to s

"You have ten minutes. The officer growled at Vivian and Cassandra, who looked around with some disgust, feeling degraded and embarrassed.The women sat down at the table pointed out by the officer and waited impatiently, it was the first time they had been in such a place and they hoped it would be the last.Minutes later, the officer came in again with Henry handcuffed and with some force, made him sit at the same table as them."What are you doing here?" 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..."

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..."
