It Was Never Love 54
I left the room, compress. By this time, there were already many people gathered in the condominium, dressed in suits or black ceremonial dress and giving the deceased their due respect.When I found Lucy, she was sitting on the swing in the back garden. She was wearing a long black dress with some dark embroidery. Her hair was combed with great care, adorned with a small, elegant white flower that was above her ear. As she stared blankly at the peach blossoms, newly born on the trees, a terrible lifelessness radiated from her gaze.With the passing breeze, the delicate flowers left the branches of the trees and fell on her. Over her black dress, the glittering petals were dazzling to the eye. Really blinding.Gently, I plucked the petals from her hair and her dress. At that moment, I felt the need to comfort her, but no suitable words came to mind. Any words I might have said seemed futile. After all, the man in the crystal casket was the love of her life.After a while, I patted him

“Charles Lucas”“Is he from the Lucas family?”“Since when did the Lucas family have such a powerful and influential man?”Despite my burning questions, I didn't ask my assistant anything else. Instead, I looked at José's tombstone. His black and white photograph had just been placed. The words he had said to me yesterday, full of expectation, came to the surface in my head. “My status is very far from Lucy’s.” I cannot allow my cowardly and inferior self to stand beside her beauty.” Therefore, I will leave her temporarily and come back to find her when I have more success. I hope she's still there, at that time, she'll be waiting for me.At that time, I had just arrived at the Lucas family home. While he was young to go, he was facing immense pressure as he had just lost a contract. However, he had made a concrete plan and worked hard with Hope to return to his side. Unfortunately, who could have imagined that fate would separate them for eternity that very night?!The entire funeral

“I just attended a funeral and I feel like an emotional wreck.”In the end, I chose to hide my deteriorating physical condition.Upon hearing this, Leo breathed a sigh of relief and said. “As long as you’re really okay.” I didn't even let him finish and immediately asked a question to stop him from continuing.“Brother, where is sister-in-law? Did everyone rest?”“She’s outside talking to her friends.” After a momentary silence, Leo suddenly said. “Carlos contacted me 2 days ago. He sent a scientific investigation team. All of them are experts, internationally acclaimed as fer experience. If you get rich in cancer treatment! Natália, you have to take good care of yourself.”These words shocked me. I never knew Carlos cared so much about me.For God's sake, did he remember our past?I promised you. “It’s okay, I’ll take care of myself.”"Excellent. There are some things to sort out, so I have to hang up now.”Leo hung up the call. I sat on the bed in a daze, while the words that Carlos

He cursed me. “Natália Moom won’t be able to live long.”Copy her number and I sent it to my assistant asking him to investigate for me. Within 10 minutes, he called me.I asked nervously. “Did you find anything?”He replied. “Madam President, and this is an anonymous calling card. According to my inquiry at the service office, he purchased the card 3 days ago. And he just used it to call him.”“Can’t find any other information?” I asked, anxiously.“I can find out where this card was purchased, but maybe someone else bought it for him. It needs time to investigate.”“Pay attention to this matter.”I reminded him. “He just called me. And he asked me to guess who he was. I thought it was a prank, but he called my name and said I wouldn't be able to live long. He knows I'm sick.”!“Madam President, was it Jorge Moom?”When the assistant mentioned this name, I remembered that there was a man like that in my family, but I hadn't contacted him for a long time.Well, there was no need for m

It made me happy and shy...He said in a low voice, “I miss you.”I changed the subject, I asked, “How is your mother? I saw the weather forecast, and I saw that the forecast for going is for a lot of rain and snow”.“Yes, our city is full of snow and ice.”I called, my cell phone's speaker. I put on some sleepwear and went to bed, and tried to say it as softly as possible. “This landscape must be very beautiful.”“Extremely beautiful.” He was right with me.I called him again with a smile on my face, “Carlos”."Hmm?"."I miss you."Carlos remained completely silent. He didn't say anything else, Mom, he turned off his cell phone. In the end, I hung up and called my attending physician in the city of Seattle.I told him everything after thinking a little, He asked me gently. “Mrs. Sky, has something happened recently?”When he started treating me, I was still Carlos' wife, that's why he always called me Mrs. Sky.I didn't correct it, but I said it carefully. “My best friend's great lov

Car's eyes widened in shock when he heard me mention Michelle's name, and he immediately shook his head and said, “I never did anything to her.”“Even during all those years of dating?”I only asked this out of curiosity. After all, everyone had been through and not everything was worth investigating and paying attention to.Taking that into account. I then realized that my question had been too abrupt.I quickly changed my mind and said, “Take it as if I never asked.”He had intended to simply put the matter aside, but Carlos replied solemnly: “I met Michele shortly after I graduated from university. At that time, all my friends had girlfriends, so I also wanted a pretty girlfriend so I wouldn't lose out to them! When I was with Michele, we never really did anything. It wasn't because I tried to abstain from sex, but rather because I simply didn't have any interest in it. The two of us were in the name together for a few years until you came along. In fact, I shouldn’t have allowed h

Then I left Lucy's apartment and went to the office. My assistant was very busy. In addition to company shares. I had also given him a series of small tasks to take care of. However, he was very competent and was able to handle everything in an orderly manner.I stayed at the company until late, when Carlos Sky called me. His cold voice sounded over the phone as he asked, “Have you eaten yet?”I flipped through the documents and asked, “Lunch?”“Yes, if not yet, I can come get you.”The Sky family company was a far cry from the Moom company. The round trip would be 2 hours, and I hesitated for a moment and said. "Just ate."When I was still Carlos' wife, he had been very busy. Whenever there was any news about him, he had been busy at the company. I didn't want him to waste those 2 hours for him and so I lied.He didn't think anything was strange and just told me to remember to take my medicine before turning off my cell phone.The phone call had just ended when my assistant opened th

I couldn't help but suspect that there was an inside informant at the Moom company, given the fact that Carlos Sky had uncovered such a private matter as looking up Charles Lucas' contact information.He was even aware of everything I was doing.If he thought of it that way, it was a little scary.It was as if I had no privacy whatsoever.I was feeling very complicated, and Carlos just calmly explained and said, “Your assistant told me this morning.”I am wordless.On the road heading to Washington, I sat in the car and asked my assistant, “Lucy sent you to investigate Charles, right?”My assistant responded, “Yes, she wants his contact information.”I asked: “Did she find them?”My assistant shook his head and said, “I could only find the company’s contact information. I couldn't find his personal information. I couldn't find anything, so I went to ask President Sky. President Sky used internet data and found them.”I was about to ask why he had told Carlos, but he confessed first, I
