At the hospital, at three o'clock in the morning, Stefan returned to his room with a coffee in his hand. It would be a long night and he had to endure. Even if the doctor had already told him how well she might be feeling by that time, he wasn't going to leave, he couldn't even imagine the anguish she must have felt in her heart as soon as she was told that Mr. de la Barrera had gone.He couldn't even think that she must have felt like a piece of trash that had been thrown into the place where she belonged, so that he could disappear. In a single night he had done her so much harm. In one night, he had already made so many mistakes with her. The world was right when they said he was one of the worst bosses a person could meet.Sitting cross-legged with his coffee on the table on his right side, Stefan was studying a bit about the next presentation he would have the following morning on the tablet he had brought from the car.Without even wanting to think about it, the moment he had sp
Maria Fernanda closed her eyes. Now she understood everything. Now she understood the reason why the man had talked to her in that way when he let him know that she was going to stay in the celebration with Stefan and wasn’t going to back off until Stefan paid for what he did to her.“So, you don’t care?” Adamaris asked, seeing her friend so different from the one she used to be before. “I told him, Adamaris. I told him countless times. My heart… there’s nothing my heart can feel, no more than love for this revenge that sooner or later is going to come true. “Maria Fernanda?”“Adamaris, can I tell you something?”“Whatever you want. You know we’re friend:”“I tell you if you promise that I can count on you, please, say it, I need to understand Stefan to move on with this revenge.”“He doesn’t deserve that you understand him.”“Please, Adamaris, I’m begging you.”Sighing and knowing perfectly well that there was no one else who could be asked for besides her. Adamaris nodded. Maria F
It didn’t matter how much he was willing to stand up for himself, his family was never going to change when it came to money and power. Well, although he didn’t consider them his real family, they were just people who didn’t have a life, people who envied others, people who felt better when they looked down on people who were not as ‘good’ as they because his family -the people who are supposed to be there when we need them the most were the same ones who never accepted the happiness of Stefan when he said he wanted to marry Eliza, and now it was the same society who was putting him under presion to have a son with a woman he didn’t know anything about, and his grandma had never done something to make him feel secure because Stefan, the great Stefan de la Barrera also needed a little of support, someone who could rely on. He was an adult already, the most feared CEO of the city, but he was still human. And Eliza was the only woman he loved the most, and she was no longer in this world
Back to the company of the de la Barrera family, the same hell was waiting for her and the same empty life that had embraced Stefan since the moment Elisa died. “Okay, these ones are the basis we’re presenting to ensure the consumption of the new product that we’re releasing next year, Mr. de la Barrera. We also want to proceed with the next restaurants to open in Paris. Do you agree with the summary of the information we have proportioned to you, Mr. de la Barrera?” One of the shareholders asked, wanting to get the attention of the man who was sitting down across from him. Stefan had his gaze low while his pen drew many figures on the blank pages he had before the meeting had started. Stefan seemed to still be thinking about anything else, but in the questions the man had asked. The eyes of the other shareholders fixed on him, waiting for his answer. “Mr. de la Barrera?” The man insisted. “Yes?” He replied, as soon as he realized his mistake of not paying attention to the meeting
One, two, three… four, how many more hours would go away until he decided to focus on the things he needed to do? The truth was that he couldn’t take the two nights he was with his employee out of his head. The sick face of his employee couldn’t leave his mind, that smile of hers that he had never seen had become part of his curiosity, and of course he could interpret it as a honest smile, he could see at the moment she smiled to her friend, she was happy to see her there. Why did he have the need to come back to the hospital and tell her again that nothing of what had happened should be misunderstood by her? Maybe because beyond being her whom he wanted to convince, it was to himself who should be understood the truth, in such a way he may let die all of those strange ideas that his mind was working. He still loved Eliza. He didn’t care if she was no longer in this world. Tired of that, wishing to forget about his job, he took his suit coat and left the company with just one idea i
Sitting down on the comfort of his chair, Stefan couldn’t help but think over and over the step by step of his revenge against her, the same one he was planning on while carrying on with another one. He was sure of what he was going to do, he was convinced that it was his mistake for not letting the hatred and pain he felt since his fiancé died deal with the situation and lead his entire life.Since the moment that Maria Fernanda arrived at his company, carrying a super power she did never have, thinking of herself as the last of her kind just because no one had dared to do what she did when she talked back to him, the great Stefan de la Barrera, suddenly she came against him and everyone adored her.But he had enough of her, he was tired of her and swore that no one else was going to interfere in his life, his plans and his feelings. Without further ado, he took the picture of the woman who was smiling when they took that photo. He swore they were going to be happy, she had a long l
With those airs and graces that only he could be characterized by, the most flirtatious smile with which he always greeted any woman who passed him by, Elijah de la Fuente had just arrived at the company.“Good morning, sir," greeted his secretary, going after him with a pen and agenda to start letting him know everything he had to do that day along with the things she had to do for him on this new day. “What do we have for today?”“Today we have two meetings, you have the signing of the contract with the wine producer, and later you have the visit of the CEO of the American company. And I think that's all for today.”“That's all?” he asked sarcastically. “Well, we'd better get on with it.”“Is there anything I need to do today?”Elijah just looked at her. “No, not beyond your work." He said when suddenly a thought came to his mind. “Oh wait, now that you mention it, I think there is something you can do for the day.”“Whatever you want, sir.” “I need you to look into what happene
With her heart going up and down, feeling her soul leaving her body, tears streaming down her cheeks and her mind full of memories and thoughts that she couldn't handle all at once, Maria Fernanda, with one hand on her chest, tried to calm herself.How was it possible that the gentleman, whom she had kindly invited in, thought she could digest at once all the information he had given her during the last 30 minutes? It was too much for her. The man didn't know how hard those statements had hit her fragile heart.Where the hell was he when she was thrown in jail for a crime she hadn't committed? Where the hell was he when she claimed to be innocent but no one believed her, not even the lawyer the state had appointed for her?Day and night he tore at her throat claiming that she had not killed that poor woman who breathed her last in her arms. Day and night she waited for a miracle until Antonio appeared, without much to do for her but showing her the possibility of revenge on those who
