Chapter 13

Five years had passed and I was already 25 years old and no longer depended on my mother or father to pay for my dental school. Many things really happened in these five years, one of them is that I really overcame myself and that I was doing very well in my own way.

Today would be a special day for me where my dream graduation would happen in which now I would be a dental doctor and as a gift my parents together with my grandparents would give me an office. I was overjoyed and couldn't even sleep that night thinking how full my life was.

It would be my graduation and my parents would be there. Until these last years that passed they fought less made up and really were getting along well until I was going to have a brother on my father's side.

"Ana is going to be late for graduation, she's been there for hours and she won't come down!

"I feel sorry for my stepfather, he has to love you very much.

"Come on your father has arrived!"

"Women of my life, go ahead, I'll meet you there. I need to resolve something, but I won't be long.

"Poxa, Philip wants you there after all is also my father!

"I will be Ana do not worry!"

I felt my stepfather a little worried but it could be just an impression after all he and my mother have been working a lot of shifts for sure and that's it.

Meanwhile...

"Oh my God, today Brian decided to come back! What do I do?"

Philip had not told anyone that Brian was coming back even to not ruin Ana's graduation today. He knew that it would be very complicated for her and that he never wanted to see her suffer again. As soon as everyone left he went to the airport to pick up his son and to his surprise his grandson and daughter-in-law came to Colorado to live with them.

" Dad, how happy I am to see you after a long time!"

" Also, I am happy my son be welcome only we have to go today and Ana's graduation and I can't miss it."

"Ana, did you graduate?"

"Yes, she's a doctor, but she's a dentist!

"I was surprised dad now you didn't tell me that but I am happy I am sure she will be a good dentist I really want to see her must have changed a lot right dad?

"Son, why did your wife tell me that you were separated?

"Dad, her father died and had zeroed the threats against my person but we were separated only that my son missed me a lot and we came back for him.

"Brian, I want you to know that Ana has changed a lot and not to make trouble for her. Now you are brothers!"

"Love, is this girl your ex-girlfriend?

"Helena, and yes, but now we are brothers, why?

" So I hope because I am sure you speak her name every night and it was because of this girl that we almost broke up!"

" Come on guys I'll drop you off at home and then we'll sort everything out after all Ana is going to live alone in her apartment now and I don't think we'll have any problems against that."

Already at Ana's graduation ....

" Mom, where's my stepdad are you going to call me now?"

"Hold on, I'll call him!

While Ana's mother called Philip to see if he was arriving, she stayed close to her father, but she wished her stepfather was there because he was the one who encouraged her to follow her career since her mother was against it. And he was the only one who didn't allow her to give up her dream because of her mother.

A few minutes went by and Ana's mother, after calling to see if he was arriving, learned that Brian had arrived along with his son and wife.

"Mom, what happened, you look pale?"

"Nothing, Ana, I'm just excited about your graduation.

Then soon my stepfather arrived and when I went up to get my diploma I thanked him and my father who had always been on my side and today I confess that it was the most exciting day of my life. After my graduation there was going to be a party at Lais's house so it was going to be for the graduates I took advantage of the ride and went to her house and my parents went home.

The party was very good and who appeared at the party out of nowhere was Ronan. I was super happy and as I was going to arrive late I was going to sleep at my mother's house and only the next morning I was going to go to my new apartment where I would live alone.

"Ronan I can't believe I'm seeing you again!"

"I can't either, and I'm glad you're here at such an important moment. I've been thinking about you for the past 15 days, and I wondered where you lived until I found it.

"Who told you?

" It was your friend I know her brother and he saw our picture in my room and that's when your sister asked me to come here today, do you like it?"

" Of course I do!"

We stayed together the rest of the night until dawn and then Ronan dropped me off at my mother's house and we arranged to meet. I was enjoying him but I never forgot my love for Brian.

I couldn't imagine what was waiting for me as soon as I entered the house again because my mother hadn't told me anything and I also didn't suspect what might be happening. I said goodbye to Ronan and exchanged affection and even kisses happened and honestly if he asked me to date again I would accept it was time to live a new love.

Maybe it was time for a romance that would take away the sick love I felt for Brian, even though we were brother and sister now.
