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
Edan returned to his seat, not even he could explain himself what had just happened, he was surprised at his own action. He would never have approached a stranger to offer her anything, even if it was a small cup of coffee.A minute later, Angelica, Edan's mother, arrived from the room of Erick, Edan's father. The doctor had allowed her to see him, since he had already woken up and asked to speak to his relatives.Angelica swopped down on her son, making a simple request."Edan, your father wants to see you. Edan took a step toward the room, but Angelica stopped him. "Please don't go and tell him anything that might upset him, the doctor told me that he is in a very delicate state and has little time left.Edan felt a shudder in his body, his mother's words hurt him as if he had been hit hard in the stomach. So, Edan hurried to his father's room.“Dad! "She called out to him, as soon as she came in and saw him awake."Son, how are you?""How do you ask me that?" Worried, you better te
"This girl could be the solution!" thought Edan, in a moment of epiphany.He didn't know this young woman, but his parents had never seen her before and that was already a point in his favor.Besides, he was supposed to have gone out to find his made-up girlfriend a long time ago and was still there, in the hospital, thinking about what to do, and that young woman was already there, that was another point in his favor.Edan stared at her with more interest and noticed how she immediately blushed.That meant that she liked him, or at least, that she found him attractive. Although he was not surprised, because he was aware of the effect it had on women, he would write it down as another point in his favor.The young lady was pretty, in fact, if you detailed her well, you could say that she had quite a lot of potential, with the right clothes and a good salon treatment, she could easily pass like any other beautiful young woman in high society, however, there was no time for that.Edan d
Alma froze, was this man offering her the money for her mother's surgery in exchange for posing as his girlfriend for a few days and pretending to marry him?That seemed very low to her, but, on the other hand, she wanted to help her mother, she wanted to get that money somehow, and she had spent the whole afternoon praying and asking to find some way to be able to do that operation.Perhaps, this would be his miracle?“Then? What do you say? Is it a deal? Edan repeated again.She hesitated, still confused, when, a moment later, Mateo, the doctor who was treating her mother, appeared in the cafeteria, calling Miss Alma Contreras, Luz Rivas's relative.When Edan saw the doctor walking toward them, Mateo noticed the scene between Alma and his companion, whom he looked at with some suspicion.“Soul. Mateo approached the young woman. "Do you have a minute?"“... Of course. She turned to Edan for a second, but didn't say anything, she walked away accompanied by Mateo. "Is something wrong,
