Anne nodded and turned around, Gerald sighed deeply, knowing that she wouldn't hesitate to tell Helena about Tony. Myriam watched him closely."Don't you live in the same house as your mother?" she asked curiously.Gerald invited her to take a seat in a room in the middle of the large garden."Years ago, my brother and I were teenagers," he began to speak, and his voice trailed off, "we were returning with my mother from school, she was driving, and we had an accident," he said.Myriam felt her breath hitch and Gerald's chest rise and fall."What happened?" she questioned."My brother... He passed away," he explained and stood up, handed the baby to Myriam, and went to a wooden bar, with trembling hands he poured himself a glass of water."Are you okay?" Myriam asked curiously.Gerald pressed his eyelids together, inhaling and exhaling several times."I'm fine," he answered, "I don't like to be consoled or pity me," he said, and he was the same cold and despotic man again.Myriam wasn

"Lady Helena!" Anne exclaimed agitated, entering the lady's bedroom."What happened?" She questioned, furrowing her brow.Anne took a deep breath."Mr. Gerald is at home with a woman, and she has a baby... She looks just like him," she said."What thing?" Helena inquired, narrowing her eyes in disbelief, "help me get into the wheelchair and take me, I want to meet that child," she begged.Anne immediately obeyed her boss's orders, helped her up onto the chair, combed her long black hair, and led her out of the room.*****Meanwhile, after exposing his rules, Gerald gave Myriam and the child a tour of the house's gardens, he wanted her to become familiar with the environment.He carried the child in his arms, the little one focused his bluish gaze on everything that moved and caught his attention, pointing with his little fingers at the birds, the water that ran through that lagoon, the flowers."It's very curious," Gerald commented, and looked at him tenderly."He's a baby, he's learn

"She blames me for the accident," he said, "I can't remember what happened, I have a kind of mental blackout from that moment, but she says that I had to do it," he said with a tremulous voice.Myriam pressed her lips together."If it makes you feel better, my mother also blames me for abandoning my father, she says I should have stopped him, manipulated him to be by our side," she explained, "she doesn't forgive me for not begging him to leave his lover," she confessed and took a sip of wine."How do you feel about your mother?" He inquired and fixed his deep gaze on her.Myriam took a deep breath."Pity, sadness, I tried to get closer, but he rejects me, I feel sorry for his situation, but I can't do more," she said. "And you?Gerald fell silent, drank from his glass, and evaded the question."I think we have everything ready to start the fake," he said, "tomorrow you'll bring your things, we'll live together."Myriam took a deep breath."I forgot to tell you that my friend Elsa mus

Gerald took a sip of coffee."Well, at least you're aware that she's crazy." He smiled, "I never thought to see you married", he mocked his friend.At that moment one of the company's vans pulled into the parking lot, and several longshoremen helped with Myriam's boxes, while she and her friend Elsa got out of the car that Gerald had sent to pick her up."Sister-in-law!" Kevin exclaimed and walked over to greet her, joking.Gerald pursed his lips and gave his friend a reproachful look."Hello," Myriam greeted.Kevin immediately looked at the boy."He's identical to Gerald, but here between us, let's hope it doesn't take the character out of him." The river.Elsa burst out laughing at this, looked at Gerald in the distance and waved her hand."Hello, brother-in-law," she joked.Myriam nudged him."Stop kidding around," she begged."As my friend's bad manners, she has not introduced us, I am Elsa Vanegas, Myriam's best friend." She held out her hand and looked at Kevin with a smile.The

"Mrs. Helena, I know you've been given bad references about me, but I think we all have the right to the benefit of the doubt" she indicated and reflected on the lady's bluish gaze, "I know I'm not the right woman for your son, however, I am the mother of your grandson, and that cannot change, I would like to have the opportunity to meet her, and that she does it with me.Helena inhaled deeply, her throat went dry, she looked at Anne who looked very excited, the nurse nodded, and inside the pockets of her uniform, she crossed her fingers hoping that her boss would accept her proposal .Mrs. Lennox lifted her face and met Myriam's eyes."On one condition," she said."Which one?" Miriam asked."That you bring the boy every day", she requested, and kissed the boy's forehead.Myriam was touched by the woman to the core of her, giving her a warm smile."Of course," she answered."Of course not," Gerald refuted, "I'm not going to allow this lady to destroy Tony's life, like she did to me,"

Kevin walked into Gerald's office to find him eating some grapes Myriam had brought him."I can't believe it!" he exclaimed, "the almighty Mr. Lennox eating in the office," he joked, "I see Myriam is performing miracles."Gerald blinked and snorted."What are you talking about?" he questioned.Kevin rolled his eyes."She is a woman with a good heart, after how you treated her yesterday, if I were her, I wouldn't say a word to you" he emphasized; "However, she brought you breakfast, like a devoted wife concerned about her husband" he commented, "and the most interesting thing is that you are eating what she prepared for you" he smiled, "so she has the power to transform you and bring out to bring out the good things that you have hidden in the depths of your heart"Gerald finished eating one of the grapes, and was thoughtful, he didn't comment on it; however, he was curious what Myriam's face would make when she walked into her office.****Myriam greeted her collaborators and hurried

Myriam cocked her lips, although the boutique employees thought she was looking at herself in the mirror, her gaze was fixed on Gerald's expression, it was inevitable that her stomach did not shrink when she noticed how that cold gaze turned into fire, and her skin burned, her stomach picked, and for an instant they both wanted the same thing, but just like Gerald a flash of awareness came over her mind.This is not right, she told herself. He's interested in Bianca, she kept repeating in her mind, and it hurt, so she shook her head and went back to the dressing room.After trying on several more items including dresses, skirts, tops, pants, and shopping for various shoes, bags, and jewelry, she headed home.In the car that awkward silence reappeared; Myriam slid her fingers over to the music player, though Gerald didn't seem to like it, yet he seemed so intent on the road that he didn't flinch."On the other side of the moon by Gian Marco" began to play.Myriam closed her eyelids for

Several days had passed, the routine between them was the same, pretending before the others, just as they agreed in the contract they signed.The mornings before going to the shipping company, Myriam would go with Tony to greet Helena, they both met and became friends."Mrs. Helena, have you tried standing up?" Myriam asked, having breakfast with her.The lady took a sip of orange juice."I'm trying, but my legs won't work," she said, her voice shaking."Do you do therapy?"The woman nodded and said no more. Myriam put her hand over hers."I think there's something blocking her, a pain that she has stored in her chest that doesn't let her be happy, I think she should get rid of it."Helena squeezed Myriam's hand and shed a great torrent of tears until she choked on her own crying."I have been the worst mother, the cruelest," she began, "that morning, I went to pick up my children from school, I drove normally, Henry loved to sit next to me, and he always argued with Gerald saying th

In the afternoon, while Myriam was checking out some earrings, someone knocked on her door."Go ahead," she told him, then she was surprised to see her great friend Rubén de ella, she gave him a smile and invited him to continue. "How are you?" she inquired.The young man watched her carefully, looked at her discreetly, she looked radiant, very elegant, different from the woman he suffered so many months ago, he was happy for her, because he considered that Myriam deserved that and more from her."I came to apologize to you," he said, "although I still can't figure out why you plan to marry that man," he muttered, "I'll respect your decision."Myriam took a deep breath, looking at her friend tenderly."Sometimes love is born out of hate," she said. Gerald and I had serious differences, but there was always something that attracted us to each other" he indicated, "I can also tell you that behind that shell of an insensitive man, there is someone sweet, affectionate, thoughtful and with

Gerald smiled."I warned you not to drink so much," he said.Myriam laughed and then synchronized through BT, her playlist, she chose "Last dance by Lucy Grau""We'll start with something light," she murmured and held out her hands for him.Gerald stood up, with one hand he took her by her waist, and with the other he entwined her fingers with hers.Myriam inhaled that masculine fragrance and felt her legs shake, and she placed her hand on Gerald's shoulder and led him with slow, gentle steps."Very good," she smiled to herself, then as the violin strings plucked they looked into each other's eyes and continued to dance slowly, suddenly the rhythm changed and a drum was heard. Myriam raised one of her eyebrows. "Follow my steps," she suggested.Gerald gave her a crooked smile, pulled her close to her body, and began to dance, swaying his hips to the tune, spinning Myriam around several times, and she was stunned."You said you didn't know how to dance" she reproached him, moving her h
