There was no way Ethan would agree to leave his wife, much less when he was in a race against his brother where he had to prove how qualified he was to run the headquarters of his father's company.And Ethan wouldn't give his father another reason to leave INCAPITAL's headquarters to Edan, again.But there was a problem, and that is that, although Vivian was very much in love with Ethan and at first, she had agreed to wait for him, everything had changed from the moment Henry threatened her.Desperate, Vivian returned to make several more visits to Ethan, she gave him a thousand stupid reasons for him to ask his wife for a divorce once and for all, however, Ethan did not change his mind, he did not give in at all to her requests, so, with a heart full of anger and disappointment, Vivian had no choice but to act.Vivian, no longer caring about her reputation or what people would say, all she needed, in that moment of desperation, was to quickly get a good economic position and she woul
Erick looked at him very seriously, Ethan was stunned, had he heard correctly?“What?"Well, not at least as a headquarters manager, but if you want a lower-level position, I could—" Erick tried to approach Ethan, who was watching him in horror."What are you saying, Dad?" 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..." Erick explained, scowling."Yes, I made a mistake, but because of that, are you going to leave me on the street?" With nothing? What about my family? What am I going to do?! How am I supposed to provide for my kids? — Ethan shouts, getting upset."I'd never abandon you, that's why I'm offering you an administr
The meeting went great, Vivian smiled with pleasure as she watched as Henry seemed more and more interested in his fiancé and Ethan behaved up to the task. But it was no longer the time to talk about trivialities, and Ethan needed to take advantage of the situation as soon as possible.Yes, Mr. Ortega, you are right, the country's economic situation has been a bit adverse lately, but thanks to our strategies, we have managed to quickly position INCAPITAL among the best..."I'm glad to hear that, I've always admired Erick for how he came to excel after having nothing..." 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 cast the first bait."What do you mean, son?" Henry tried to sound nice to the man who, according to him, would get him out of his financial misfortune."Well, Mr. Ortega," Ethan puffed up
Henry hadn't left Vivian's apartment; he just went down to the car to get something. Hearing the pile of trash coming out of Ethan's mouth, he understood something: he had lost everything.He hadn't wanted to accept it before, he felt he still had a chance, as long as Vivian was engaged to a wealthy man, Henry kept hope and with Vivian's sudden pregnancy, he felt sure that his situation would change.But in a matter of minutes, he realized that everything had gone down the drain. In a very short time, the world would learn that the Ortegas were bankrupt and would become the gossip of society.Up to that point, the creditors had given them deadlines, considering their last name and their position, but when the truth of their economic situation came out, they would be chased like rats and those were not people with whom you could negotiate.Strangely, that night, after Ethan clarified that he had renounced his inheritance, he didn't react as he usually did, with punches and insults, he
"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..." Cassandra cleared her throat and tried to gather courage, trying to calm thi
A moment of happiness, in the midst of so much pain, overwhelmed the O’Connor’s, finally the head of the family was back, somewhat depressed, but awake and that changed everything.Alma called the whole family and in the midst of the joy and celebration that the O’Connor’s were doing in the clinic room, one more piece of news, which was announced by Erick himself, surprised them all."Alma is pregnant!" I shout with a small smile, leaving Edan open mouthed. "Congratulations, son! Erick opened his arms to receive his son in an effusive hug, in which everyone's eyes watered.A moment later, Edan was carrying Alma in his arms, lifting her up in front of everyone."Thank you..." Edan muttered to Alma's face.“Why? If the work was two..." She asked perplexed, everyone laughed."For making me the happiest man in the world." I whisper, spreading a smile of complete happiness.The following weeks, everything was put in order, Edan took over the headquarters of INCAPITAL and the advertising co
Edan O'Connor was speeding down the highway in his Ferrari, rushing to work, having been late arguing with his girlfriend, Vivian, again.As always, she wanted Edan to sleep next to her until late, but he had to go to work. Although Edan was a man of resources, he had responsibilities, and the money did not come by itself.He was upset with Vivian, that woman made him lose his mind, she was spoiled and stubborn, but how she made him go crazy in bed, that's why he wasn't able to leave her, he was crazy about her and although he was upset, in fact, he was thinking about what detail to have with her to please her.Edan looked at the time on the dashboard, it was too late, he accelerated the car. He had to set an example in the company and be punctual, since he was currently serving as the CEO of the investment company INCAPITAL, which was founded by his father. But due to heart disease, Erick, Edan's father, had retired to give the position to his son.That was a very large company, with
Alma made it to the third floor, just as the nurse at the front desk had explained to her, asking all the way down the corridor about her mother, Luz Rivas, however, no one knew how to give her an answer, which increased her despair.She continued walking, looking for someone who could help her, the tears that accumulated in her eyes made it difficult for her to see and just as she was wiping them, she collided with a strong body.The person she had bumped into threw a folder with the impact and without looking up, in the midst of her desperation, Alma bent down to pick up the trail of papers while apologizing.Warm hands took hers very carefully, it was at that moment, when she noticed how her hands were shaking and looked up to see who the person was holding her."Hey, are you okay?" An attractive man in a white coat looked at her with some compassion.“Hey... I... I am sorry... I—" She began to babble, trying to control her crying.“Don't worry, try to breathe. The man crouched in
