My boss notices that Victor has arrived, he offers me his arm but I hesitate for a few moments to take it, he watches me as he sees me acting strange as he asks me if I'm okay so I pretended to be okay—Victor. —We both shake hands, he looks at me and smiles even without recognizing me, the woman next to him looks at me with pride —I'm glad you came and know that we will continue doing business.—Of course. —She looks at me out of the corner of her eye. Lucas approaches us with his girlfriend —You don't introduce us to your girl.—I wish I was worthy of such a position," my boss laughs, "Don't you recognize her? —The woman and he are confused, looking at me.—Maya? —Lucas couldn't come out of his impression when he saw me, when I saw him, I felt the wound in my chest. He changes his expression drastically —What are you doing here?—I'm sorry, what did I miss? —said Victor's wife.—Good evening, I'm Dani, the one who made the creation of this beauty, although in reality it wasn't that
Arriving at my apartment, I found my daughter asleep on the couch next to the nanny Veronica had hired "I don't even know where she got her from." I took my daughter to the bedroom and when I went out into the living room, Veronica had already sent the nanny away.—So now your new fling is a college brat," I ignore her because I have nothing to talk to her about my personal life, "Don't you realize you could be her father?—I'm not. —I snapped in annoyance, "So stop meddling in my life.—I told you I'm not giving you a divorce. And much less now that I know that brat.... —I made a mistake and that's the only reason you want to change me for a... girl. Look at me, I am a woman and she can barely cope with her ordinary life.—Don't forget that once upon a time you were also less than her, if it wasn't for me, you would be working in a brothel by now. —I get up from my place and take off my white long sleeve shirt —But unlike her, you only pretended to be someone you weren't to look for
The blood rushed to my head as I saw them together, rage was consuming me as I saw that Lucas had returned with her.—Damn it!!!...I couldn't handle my anger, even my workouts didn't help me get that scene out of my head, I saw it all, from the beginning when she came out of the buildings. Lucas organized a surprise for her, I knew she had feelings for my son, but I never thought they would be as strong as the ones she said she had for me.The rage was eating me up inside and the worst thing was that I couldn't get it out of my body because it made me sick in my mind to know that she had returned with Lucas. "I'm still surprised at how much my son has changed.—Daddy?...are you mad?Seeing my daughter I swallow my anger and smile when I see her, I place myself on one knee in front of her, I observe the bear that she never lets go, since I gave it to her in those games, she sleeps with it, I kiss her forehead since she is the only one I know that would never turn her back on me, she i
—Are you all right?—Yes," I wave a smile. I feel my cell phone start to vibrate, when I see who the call was from my smile disappears and the wound opens so wide I feel like my heart is dying —I am.Somehow, I managed to get this part—time job and get my boss at Clark Industries to let me leave early, of course, if he has any pending, I have to do it from my room, my home, is the agreement he gave me and I accepted.I never thought I would meet him in this place and much less that I would know in reality what he really thought or felt, listening to his words was like worse than the impact of a bullet and I don't say it literally since as a child I suffered an accident and a bullet went through my leg, it was painful... but I think now I prefer that pain than the edge of his words.Somehow I got involved with Lucas again since after we talked, my father called me and told me that he was invited to a family dinner, it's as if fate... had everything prepared for me to give him a chance
My heart was in my throat, it was about to burst out of my mouth when I feel his breath collide against my breath, courage was slipping away from me and I must not let him always get away with it.—What's the matter, mouse got your tongue?—Fuck you. —I spat angrily. —You better stop meddling in my life. You said it yourself, what happened between us... it was just a fling. You enjoyed it and so did I. But that's in the past so stop interfering.—When it comes to my son and his safety, I will always interfere.I scoff since so far I see that you care about him. Lucas comes in asking if everything was in order but when he saw that nothing was right he asked me to leave the office.—Who do you think you are fooling? If you were so concerned about your son's welfare, you wouldn't keep looking for me after that damn night. You're only doing this because you didn't want me to be alone with him," I laughed bitterly, "You didn't want us to have sex.When the expression on his face changes ra
—Yes," said Dad. Victor leads us to the dining room, to slow his steps and suddenly I felt the brush of his hand with mine causing my attention to be on him. He smiles cheekily at me and of course my skin instantly burned —Maya?I sat down next to dad and in no time lunch was served, my father looked too serious watching Lucas' family.—I hope they like seafood....—No," Dad said, interrupting Lucas' mother, "We hate seafood.—Of course. I guess on your ranch you're just used to eating eggs..... The common stuff and they don't know how good seafood is."Ayyy shit!"My father observes Lucas' stepfather who as usual doesn't know how to measure his tongue when speaking, idiot.—Just because my family has different tastes than your family doesn't mean we know what's good. And that ranch... the one you call it as if it were a garbage dump is the one that produces the wheat so that your family can taste the bread.—Dad... stop it.—Sir... my husband didn't mean to be rude...—But he was. —D
—Mey!I was still waiting for an answer from him, but he just looks at nothing without erasing that exquisitely perfect smile, I'm afraid his words are empty, so I go to my mother's phone calls.—And would you be willing to give up everything for me? —I stop my pacing and turn to look at him —Come on, tell me.—You know you don't need to ask me because you already know the answer.He tilts his head back as his smile grows, walks up to me and looks at me like I'm heaven itself, something I've never seen in anyone before, "or he just knows how to pretend perfectly.—You know that if we want that, you must abandon my son, end this relationship that makes no sense since not even your father accepts it. —When he mentions Lucas, a huge weight falls on my shoulders out of nowhere, "Yes, I was afraid of that," he looks straight ahead and frowns, "I'll give you enough time to think about it.My lips couldn't move and give him an immediate answer as guilt reminded me that it was myself who gave
The memories torment me, "more than I imagined", I haven't heard anything from the Santoro's again, "ironic that I keep thinking that he would look for me" it's so stupid to think that for a moment I got the idea that I was important to him.Lucas... he didn't even have the courage to come back to look for me, "I tilted a smile" even now he is the one who evades me all the time since we have one or another class together, but I guess it's better for me since I don't want to have any relationship with any of them.—I need you to bring me the contracts for the new clients. —I was so immersed in my thoughts that I didn't realize my boss was watching me —Mey?—Ah? —Seeing him with his arms crossed I got embarrassed —I'm sorry, I .... Yes, I'll take them right away, Mr. Clark.He looks at me curiously, but stops when his phone started ringing. He took the call and walked into his office. I sigh in relief as if that wasn't enough, lately he has also been different, bossy and very annoying,
