"Your family from Vegas and... you know, Mika "I encouraged in a low voice, already noticing the brightness of the sun shining through the sliding door at the end of the living room, where the green lawn was already shining to receive us.”"I thought you were talking," said Suzane in a tone of reflection."No, we haven't spoken since the Thanksgiving party.”"How strange... Lawrence says she's always lovingly talking to someone in the corners.”I avoided performing a mouth thing, because I knew Suzane was keeping an eye on my reaction. I loved Suzane, but she was so curious and nosy, that sometimes she gave me a slight anger. But I was all that in an even higher percentage. So I couldn't complain. I smiled, my turn. It didn't bother me that Mikaela could be going out with other people. I doubted that she would be able to maintain that facade of relationship with Colton without having an escape valve for later, but still, I was slightly upset that she did not consider that I could be h

It was ridiculous to hear what she was saying, the types of plagues she was playing against her daughters. Suzane was the most dedicated, most loving, strongest person I had ever known in my entire life. She always dedicated herself to doing the best for everyone, even when she never received anything in return. She had even forged a fake marriage to try to convince her family that she had not failed in her personal life, when I always said that she never needed to prove anything, although it helped make her and Hunter get together. She had given that party, had them picked up, decorated the whole house to receive them, and even so, it was not enough.I didn't know if I felt angry with Mikaela or just pity. I've never had to deal with a less than loving mother. Not even my father "who proved to be a lunatic terrorist" was as cruel and terrible with the people of his blood as that woman. She seemed to have a sadistic pleasure in psychologically torturing her daughters. It was unaccepta

I laughed, wanting to show how pathetic that whole situation was. When I suggested that Colton become the boyfriend Mikaela always lied he had, I just wish he could be a pretty face to convince Mikaela's family that she was not a lesbian. But apparently, like most of my plans, that had also gone wrong. But I also didn't notice that, when I laughed, that tenuous relationship between the coldness and the distance I was trying to keep from Penelope would become even more tense. She watched me with a slight narrowing of her eyes and I made my smile." Mika's family already suspects his... sexual interests," said Colton, striving to find delicious words. Mikaela watched him with slight contempt. He ignored it. "So they want us to get married as a tactic to drive you both away. They have already understood that I am just a spare part in this game. They can't convince themselves that Mikaela feels comfortable with me or that the relationship at a distance is the reason why we are so... indif

"People know that the terrorist's father is still alive, don't they? "I questioned with an eyebrow arch. The man nodded with indulgence. "So, shouldn't people know that there is another person more interested in continuing the family business, rather than a person totally oblivious to everything that was happening?”"Is it totally foreign? "He asked with a smile full of himself. I wanted to punch him. "I'm just saying... It is very strange that while all the media reported that one of the members of the Red Brotherhood was trying to destroy the organization, the terrorist's family remained neutral. Why didn't anyone make any statements? Why has no one ever said in which prison Jon Maxwell's true location would be?”I shrugged, trying to give a carefree image, but I wondered if that's not really what everyone expected me to do. That I told the whole world to hear that my mother and I had no idea where my father was. Because the police were careful not to announce to the press where they

"And my visit is just to talk to you, Penelope," said Caleb. I arched an eyebrow. If he had asked the reasons, he would have noticed how trembling my voice sounded. "I heard, behind my daughters, that you've been having problems with the media in general. I'm issuing a restraining order so that none of them approach you. By the end of today, they will be banned, or they will have to bear a very attractive fine if they dare to break the law.”I avoided laughing. Lately I found the efforts of people in trying to bring me some happiness very funny. I never imagined that someday Caleb Johnson would be visiting me to give good news. That's why I limited myself to opening a smile of thanks. So I went into the clinic and sat in the waiting chairs. The clinic's television was off, but the vet helpers who supported my mother seemed to be having trouble dealing with a dog that barked stridently in the back. The noise was so much that she had to leave Caleb and me alone, while running to meet he
