The CEO's regret Forty-seventh
The car was silent, a very quiet song played on the random radio while Matthew lay sleeping in the back seat. Robert drove quickly down the dirt road while Linna fought against her sleep as they drove from street to street through the center of town, this was the big drawback of living in a condominium, except that his house is a big mansion, but she couldn't complain about that since she was getting more and more used to it. He watched her out of the corner of his eye, something was pounding in his head, once again out of the thousand he had battled all day. Robert had a bad feeling in his chest, he didn't want to believe it was that. The truth was that her symptoms were coming on much more frequently than before, she had made an appointment with the doctor and until then a lot could happen.With that he tried to spend as much time as he could with her, even if she continued to fulfill her schedule with her company by taking care of some issues that didn't make her stressed enough to

- Baby, it's okay. We are not getting married. You know how I feel about it, but I don't see a problem. It's a simple thing. I can ask my mother to help me with this and you can take care of the rest. - She made it clear, which made him laugh and steal a quick kiss.- If you say so, it's said! I'll take care of everything, don't worry. If you want, I can have the dress made.- No. If you want it so badly, it's better to be a surprise! - She smiled, startled by the sound of the car horn behind her, warning that the traffic light had been open for two minutes. Robert turned away from the avenue and ran away from more traffic lights all the way home.- If that's the way you want it. I'll take care of the space, everything, just worry about the dress, the make-up? those things women do on their wedding day. On the day, I will be waiting for you, while I send for you.- We can do it this week. - Robert pulled away in surprise as he almost crossed his arms if he hadn't had to hold the steer
The CEO's regret Forty-ninth
With her mother's help she got into the back seat feeling a little uncomfortable since there was a lot more fabric than human in there. She couldn't see much from the window, the weather was completely pleasant and she felt herself sweating more than usual in there. She had always been someone who sweated a lot, and she always hated that about herself. She was the kind of teenager who sat in her desk at school and half an hour later her body was completely sticky from the closed room and windows, while some were freezing to death from the weather outside. Her heart was racing and she was sure that her blood pressure was also high, her anxiety always had this prowess. Linna was always going through this, she was always anxious about simple things like going for an exam. This was how her life worked.The high blood pressure continued to catch up with her anxiety, and of course she was also sure that it was related to her weight. Speaking of weight, she remembered when she weighed her br
The CEO's regret Fiftieth
- I love you, Robert. I've never known love before, I've had other boyfriends but they all become insignificant next to you. I've never felt anything like it. My heart is racing now, and it's racing every moment I think of you, think of being with you. - Linna took his hand and placed it on her chest, Robert felt the palpitations as if her heart were in his hands. - With you I've learned what real love is. I've accepted some things that I considered to be love and you were never even a hint of it. We started living together and even exchanging basic words I felt your concern for me, I felt that in the smallest gestures you cared and did things that showed this like leaving the coffee ready. Even if you dared to say it was for Matthew too. - She laughed weakly through her tears. - When we started to talk, to live closer to each other, I understood that there was already love there. There was already admiration, respect, regret. Repentance was crucial for both of us. We both did horribl
The CEO's regret Fifty-first
On the evening of that day Matthew had a presentation at school, a theater performance of The Wizard of Oz, where he would be the scarecrow. During the day there were preparations inside the school, he didn't even imagine that his parents were dressed as a bride and groom almost lost on a rented farm in the middle of nowhere. The two looked at each other like never before, if before their love could be exhaled, now it was able to shine like an angel. They got back to each other before nightfall, after they had played catch-up and finished with the bottle of wine.Matt was in the shower while Robert and Linna finished dinner, it wasn't even seven o'clock yet and the presentations would start at eight. There was silence, no cell phones, with a few glances exchanged in shy and sincere smiles. The cutlery banging against the plate, apart from all the cicadas, was the only noise.- How could she sleep for so long with those cicadas? - Linna cleaned her plate after the last bite, the cicada

- I have a headache. This damn headache again! - He put his hand on his temple and snorted loudly.- Hey. It's okay, if you want you can stay home and I'll take Matt to the presentation, or I can ask my mom to take him.- No, we'll go. - Linna forced her eyes to turn to him and tried to look at him, but Robert noticed her distant eyes and held her fat face in his hands.- No. You're in no condition to go. I'm going to stay here with you and call my mother! - He said, already seeing Linna frown several times in a row, which indicated that she was going to cry very soon.- Go with Matthew, he wants his parents to watch him together at least once. - she whimpered in supplication.- I'm not leaving you alone, Linna. Don't be stubborn. What if something happens and you're here alone? That's no idea. - Matt entered the room and his smile vanished when he saw his mother with her head down and apparently sad.- Mom, is everything okay? - They both looked at him in a rush, she in particular sw
The CEO's regret Fifty third
She touched her mother's face, it was impossible not to smile with all that innocence. As if it were easy.- Oh my son, I'd love to but you're a child, you can't. - Matthew hugged his mother's body, Linna hugged him back tightly, smelling the baby soap he has been using since birth because he has allergies to some kinds of soap.- Mom, I don't want to introduce you anymore. You can tell the school and then they'll write another paper! - I said, whispering in his ear, afraid that his father was going to make him go to the presentation because of his grade.- It's okay, Matt. If you don't want to, we won't force you to. - He pulled away and touched his even smaller hands. - See, your dad will call the school and explain what happened, and you'll stay here with me.- Are you sure? - Robert walked over and watched Matt's hair flip up and down like it had after the nasty thing he said. His son just nodded. - Matt, I'm sorry I talked like that, but you have to understand that sometimes it's
The CEO's regret Fifty fourth
Linna opened her eyes slowly, blinking countless times in a second feeling a huge pain in her back. Until her eyes got used to the dim lighting of the place and she could finally see everything around her, including the doctor who was waiting for her to wake up, slouched over the arm of the hospital bed. Her mouth was extremely dry, which made her cough before she could say anything.- My back... - Her voice was very low and hoarse, she tried to move, but Talia denied it with her head, touching her arm lightly. - They hurt a lot.- Don't move. - The doctor came a little closer.- How long have I been here? - The rain was falling hard outside, she was still unable to turn her head to look through the glass window.- Today is the fifth day. - Linna would be able to widen her eyes if her head didn't hurt so much. - You've had another alveolar hemorrhage, Linna. - she sighed. - This time much more intense. We had to put a blood bag of a few millimeters for you. Your body is being attacked
