Christian EvansThe sky was deep blue, no clouds in sight, the sun was shining, reflecting on the green grass, the people in their finery stood out brightly, like a beacon under the sun, dresses and jackets coated in a golden glow, and the wind is fair, it was like a gentle caress on the face.I feel the green scent of the earth soaking the air like a sponge, filling my nostrils with a rich aroma. The air smelled of warm summer breezes, fresh spring grass, the incense of a hundred thousand prayers, the flowers of the city gardens, and new hopes.People were laughing and chatting happily, their eyes fixed on the balcony of the Royal House where Lynda and I, the new rulers of Balaica, would soon appear.To say that I am not nervous would be a lie... but at the same time it is an indescribable feeling... neither of us expected such an outcome, nor so much responsibility, but together there is no burden we cannot carry, and I will be by my wife's side to help her along the way.The anxiet
Twenty-Two Years AgoThe eight-year-old boy listened to his parents argue. He watched the scene through the crack in the door. His father spoke in a pleading tone while his mother remained impassive.“Sherlyn, you can't leave me like this!” he cried in despair. “Tell me, what can I do to keep you? If the problem is money, don't worry, I built the Evans Empire from the ground up once, I can do it again, but only with you by my side and with our son, you'll see how everything will work out, I'll continue to give you everything you need, I promise you'll never want for anything,” her father continued, trying to get closer to her mother.However, she slapped his hand and looked at him with a gesture of contempt.“I don't want to build anything with you, why should I when I can have it all with Jonah Johnson? He's a young man and now ten times richer than you were,” the woman pointed out without hiding a smirk.“Because he stole from me, he took advantage of our friendship and the trust th
Lynda heard the alarm clock, it rang incessantly as she tried to wake up, but it seemed her eyes refused to cooperate, she reached out her hand to turn it off so she could sleep for a few more minutes, but it fell to the floor, the noise caused by its fall brought her out of her reverie, she jumped up, looked for it on the floor and it was completely destroyed.A sad expression appeared on her face, she realized that she would have no way to wake up the next day, she picked up the pieces and threw them into the waste basket of the bathroom, then she started the routine of showering and brushing her teeth, while she thought about how she was going to wake up the next day. She hurriedly changed into a baggy shirt and jeans and ran downstairs so as not to be late for her destination. The serving lady was waiting for her with breakfast, looking around for fear of being discovered.“My love, I made you this sandwich, take it before your father and sister come,” the woman held out her arm
He remained motionless for a moment, without stopping to observe the unconscious girl, she was beautiful, she had the appearance of an angel, when he reacted he could not help but caress her face with his fingertips, he felt a kind of current flowing between them, he saw a red liquid running down her forehead, she had been injured in the collision. For a moment he had mixed feelings, one part of him wanted to get away from her like someone fleeing from the plague, just remembering whose daughter she was gave him a deep disgust, his stomach churned with disgust, rage stirred within him, the other part, he wanted to care for her and protect her, he shook his head in confusion What the hell do I care about this girl? I should only care about her for my plans to use her against her bastard of a father, nothing else, he said to himself.He let go of her, dropping her on the seat like a lifeless doll without any consideration, but he didn't expect that move to provoke her reaction, he immed
Lynnet was at the hairdresser's having a beauty treatment, they had already put the finishing touches to her impressive reddish hair, it was inevitable that she attracted attention wherever she went, she enjoyed an extraordinary beauty that caused admiration, not only from men but also from women. She looked at herself in the mirror with devotion, she was proud of her beauty, no one could compare with her, besides she was a regular visitor to the aesthetics, because she loved to highlight the attributes she knew nature had given her.Her phone began to ring and she answered it, but when she looked at the screen and saw the picture of Lynda, her twin sister, she made a gesture of annoyance. He didn't want to answer her, she was an insufferable fool, he resented her victim attitude and her Mother Teresa of Calcutta complex, he didn't know how the two of them could share the same face, if it wasn't so beautiful he would have changed it long ago. Though he could force her to do it, he alw
Christian, not caring that the accident had not yet been reported to the authorities, moved his car, which, despite the damage to its bodywork, had suffered no mechanical damage. Without wasting any time, he sped away from the scene of the accident on his way to his friend's house.He could not help but feel an unpleasant unease running through his body, turning into a piercing cold sweat that eventually settled in his spine, too worried about Sally's state of health. He was afraid that something bad might happen to her, because if it did, he would never be able to forgive her for not paying him the attention he deserved during those days, and besides, she was the only person who could make him feel loved and protected, perhaps because they had been together in the orphanage until the day he decided to escape.Twenty minutes later, in record time, he arrived at the housing estate in a middle-class area of the city, a few old gabled houses with red roofs, all painted white. On arrival
The young girl looked at him sadly, by now she could feel her heart shrinking at the treatment and contempt of her own father, it was unbelievable how the man who was supposed to protect her, care for her, love her, treated her in such an inhuman way, she could no longer hold back her tears at these thoughts, she wiped them quickly, despite all this, she felt the need to give him an explanation, to try to appease his anger and make him understand what had happened, she longed so much for a little consideration from him."Dad, let me explain, things are not like you think, at no time did I steal my sister's car, she gave it to me to go to the car..." but she could not continue with her explanation because before she could react, he gave her a couple of loud slaps that made her turn her face from side to side, leaving her chewed handprints. "Shut up, you wretch! I don't know how you can behave like this, trying to sully your sister's good name so you can get away with it. You're a wre
Sally, watching the doctor examine her foot, fearing in her heart that he might discover her and expose her to Christian, took a deep breath, building up her courage, because it was better for her to tell him the truth before he ended up discovering it for himself."Doctor, excuse me, but I don't think it's necessary to send me for a series of X-rays, actually my accident is not that serious, I feel fine, I'm pretending to be in an accident," she began to say, fearing the doctor's rebuke. "Don't scold me, please, I just wanted to get a little more attention from my husband, because he lives working and doesn't dedicate enough time to me, that made me think of a plan to make him take care of me.” The woman's lie was an attempt to gain the doctor's sympathy."I need you to help me, right now, when the one who brought me in comes, please support me, remember, it is only a white lie, I promise to tell you the truth later and I will not let any kind of responsibility fall on you.
