After that unexpected proposal, Chelsea spent the whole night thinking without stopping thinking, full of anguish and doubts. It was as if the universe had insisted on putting her to the test in those weeks, two irresistible proposals on Fred's part that put her in check in the face of her own reality. She had already agreed to work with him because of the same need she had to resolve her situation quickly. Now that second extremely tempting offer kept her awake, really marrying Fred, it was every woman's dream come true, he was handsome, wealthy and sincere."What else do you need, Chelsea?" She confronted herself. Again she and her feelings took a back seat, she had to do it so that she could have the money and that her mother would recover her health or at least that her years of life would be extended a little after that terrible disease attacked her. Susane was a strong woman, or seemed to be, working from dawn to dusk to give Chelsea everything she needed. When Victoria's m
Chelsea hurried out of the room to her mother's bedroom, Susane was pale and showed tension in her face, the pain seemed to have her in shock."Vicky, please go get Fred," she ordered to the girl, who hurried to the room.Fred was coming out of the bathroom, excited and totally naked for his meeting with his wife, when Vicky approached the door and stumbled upon her brother-in-law's perfect anatomy. "Vicky!” She covered her face and he tried to cover her sex with his hands. "Excuse me Fred, my aunt isn't well, Chelsea asked me to call you.”“I´m on my way” She didn't move from there, instead she stayed in the doorway, while Fred took his silk pajamas and dressed in front of her. They both went to the next room, Susane still deprived of pain, while Chelsea searched eagerly inside her mother's things, for the pills of her treatment."Let me carry her," Fred said, he walked over and managed to lift her easily in his arms. "Take the car keys my love, I'll wait for you downstairs
Since Chelsea had left his life, Steve had been thinking about her, he had not realized how strong his feelings for her were until that moment, he could see that it was not in vain that they said "You never know what you have until you lose it", in fact, it was the truest saying that existed on the face of the earth. He spent sleepless nights, meetings completely distracted, conversations absent imagining what his life would be like right now if he had had the courage to leave Larissa and make his relationship with Chelsea official, he would definitely be happy now and not miserable as he was being. Lately, he wasn't able to look Larissa in the eye, he knew that she had been to blame for Chelsea's dismissal and that irritated him more and more, he disowned her too much and was no longer interested in hiding it; He hadn't touched her for several days, he hadn't been with her, he had no nice words, no affectionate gestures, nothing, he simply ignored her since their last argument an
As soon as Chelsea felt that hand on her shoulder she knew it wasn't Gus, she could recognize that touch anywhere in the world no matter how much time passed, besides, his smell was unmistakable, before she turned to him, before he uttered a single word she already knew who was behind her. There was no need for dialogue between the two of them, as soon as their eyes met they knew what they needed. Steve grabbed her by the waist and managed to pull her to her feet, she put her hands around his neck on tiptoe, dropped her head on his neck and continued to unleash her duel. She cried, she cried with all her might, she got all the pain out of her and Steve stood there hugging her, gently stroking her hair over and over again."Shhhh, calm down Chel, everything's going to be fine," he finally managed to say."No, everything is not going to be okay, my mother has died, how is it possible that she ceased to exist in this world from one moment to the next? I didn't even get a chance to sa
The siren of the ambulance, the voices of people screaming in horror at what has just happened creates chaos on the highway. Fred feels the moisture on his face, wipes with his hand and sees only the blood, for a few seconds he loses consciousness.The rescue team goes down, and manages to get him out of the crowded car with the turns he made on the slope of almost five meters deep. The paramedic's questions stun him."Sir, do you hear me, can you hear me?" Fred feels dizzy, an incessant pain in his left thighs keeps him in absolute stress."My leg, my leg.” He complains, as the paramedic puts on a dose of painkiller to calm him down. Meanwhile, at the clinic, Chelsea waits for the delivery of her mother's body, it was her wish, to be cremated and for her ashes to be scattered under the large tree planted on the bank of the river in the town where she lived for more than forty years.Suddenly she hears the sirens and sees the ambulance stop, from which the bloodied body is lower
Chelsea's life had just taken a 180° turn. First the death of his mother and now Fred, he had just suffered that terrible accident, luckily he was alive. She still remembers her cousin's words blaming her for what had just happened. The poor woman had not had time to experience the pain of her mother's grief and now she had to deal with the guilt of the consequences of that terrible accident.Could someone put themselves in his place for a few seconds? Could anyone understand their pain and frustration? She had made a commitment to Fred so she could forget Steve, which didn't work out at all. She married Fred so that he could receive the money and save his mother's life and now Susane was dead, the worst of all was that she would have to stay by Fred's side, she could not leave him at that moment when he needed her so much. She sat on the bed where her mother slept two days ago, grabbed the Bible that her mother always carried with her, opened it, and let the pages slide. He saw a
"Doctor! Why can't I feel my legs? Fred asked, terrified."Mr. Sielgman, it is very important to your condition that you remain calm. He has just had a rather complicated operation on his leg, he has been lying down for several days; Despite this, I'm not going to lie to you either, you suffered from a small lumbar injury, there was always the possibility that something like this could lead to the fact that we had ruled it out, whatever the cause, we have to do some tests to make sure of the reason and the connotation that this could bring. Our best orthopedic surgeon will be with you in no time, with your permission," and without another word he left the room.Fred was on nerve, terrified just at the thought of not being able to walk anymore. Chelsea, it was killing her to see him that way, she had never seen him so helpless, so small and fearful, it was as if someone else had taken the place of the Fred she had known months ago. I was worried about him, what would become of his
Even though Larry had called Gus to say goodbye to him several days ago, he was still in New York, he hadn't decided to leave, he couldn't stay on bad terms with Gustavo, he had behaved wonderfully, he had given him the push he had been missing over there and that's not to mention how much he had supported him emotionally and all the patience he had had with him. He needed to have his forgiveness, he needed to leave without having any unfinished business, only then would his heart be at peace with himself as well as his conscience.For the second time she tries to call him hoping that Gus will agree to talk to him, she had no idea that, on the other end of the phone, Gustavo was shaking, nerves were eating him up. He had been through many experiences, witnessed a lot of suffering, and couldn't stop telling himself that life was too short to be repressed, too ephemeral to be resentful of the people he loved, so, after thinking about it several times, he answered the call giving Larry
