The weeks passed quickly for the young woman with blue eyes, especially since she started having sex with her husband.As the night of the annual Schmidt Multinational Corporation party approached, she felt like she was going to die. She was dizzy and felt that if she moved, she would fall to the ground.It was the first Friday of the month, September 4th, and if she didn't hurry, she would be late for the company where the party was taking place.Madeleine had gone up to Katia's room to get dressed together.She got up from the bed, sighed, and walked to the bathroom. Once there, she tied her hair into a ponytail, which she secured at the nape of her neck, parted it on the side, and had a middle part.There were a few loose strands around her hair, giving her look a touch of casualness."Are you okay?" Madeleine asked, entering the bathroom and expressing concern when she saw Katia's pale face."Yes, I'm fine," Katia smiled at her friend. "We need to hurry or we'll be late."Madelein

Stefan stormed into his room and slammed the door shut.He couldn't understand how the conversation had ended that way; he had only gone to check on her. He had noticed that she seemed a bit off at the party, and he was concerned."Does she really think I'm a cancer in her life? Stefan, you can't feel anything for Katia. Your world is too dangerous for her..." he thought, ruffling his hair.He began to curse himself, uttering profanities along the way.Suddenly, he heard scratching at his room door. Surprised, he turned toward the door and opened it. Panda and Booby were there, agitated.He peered into the hallway and was surprised to see that Katia's room door was open.At that moment, his phone rang. He reached into the inner pocket of his jacket and was surprised to see it was Mark calling."What's going on?" he held the bridge of his nose with two fingers.His headache was starting to intensify."I don't know if you've noticed, but Mrs. Katia has left the house. What would you lik

"I'm so sorry, Katia, but it's the truth," Oscar told her after a while.She continued shaking her head."I refuse! I refuse to believe it! Oscar, you can't come after four months and tell me you're going to die," she demanded, wiping the back of her hand under her nose. "You promised that when you came back, we would get married. Are you not going to keep your promise?""Katia," he looked at her seriously. "I'm the first one who didn't want this to happen. I wanted to marry you, have children..." When he said that, Katia looked away. "I've tried to fight to get better, but I no longer have the strength," he held her hands tightly while looking into her eyes. "I want to be with you in these remaining months, which is why I'm here. The doctors gave me the opportunity to stay there until I die, but my heart wanted to see you, my mouth wanted to kiss you, and my arms needed to hold you so tight that you'd say, 'You're a pain, let me go already,' like you always do," he chuckled, but Kati

"Why?!" Katia murmured, stunned by that confession.Oscar looked at her with guilt and sighed, thinking it would be better to be honest once and for all."Katia... you deserve to be happy, and Stefan... he seemed like a good option," he said with a grimace, making her huff. "I'm truly sorry; I can see now it wasn't the best choice."The brunette bit her lip, feeling a sharp pain in her chest as she had to break the news to him, knowing that he would have to realize her condition soon."Oscar..." He looked at her attentively. "I... I'm pregnant."Unable to continue, she fell silent abruptly, and the Cuban man gasped, knowing what that meant. However, she looked desolate, and despite the pain inside her, she added:"I suppose it would be cynical of me to claim something like that," she sighed, under the amazed gaze of Katia. "Don't look at me like that; he's a handsome man...""But...""I knew it would happen sooner or later," she caressed her cheek so gently that Katia felt even more g

Jürgen Hoffman's raucous laughter rang in Stefan's ears. With one hand on his abdomen, near his navel, and the other hand holding a gun, he tried not to shoot. Behind him lay the bodies of all his employees who had been shot by Jürgen's men, including Joshua.Meanwhile, Jürgen and Stefan were in a standoff, pointing their guns at each other. They knew that as soon as one of them took their eyes off the other, it would be over. Despite the pain and the fact that he was beginning to see double, Stefan never lowered his gun. He wasn't going to let that man kill him, and certainly not touch Katia afterward.Jürgen smiled sarcastically as he aimed at Stefan's heart, but he didn't expect Joshua to get up and take the bullet for him.Stefan opened his eyes, surprised. Why had Joshua protected him?When Hoffman was about to shoot again, he felt the barrel of a gun against his temple, and he stopped."Don't even think about it unless you want your brains blown out," someone behind him said in
