Chapter 11
Upon arriving home, he opened the door and stood there, paralyzed, gazing coldly at the interior of his house. The expansive living room space had been completely remodeled. The furniture had been rearranged, and the black cushions were replaced with turquoise ones that matched the vibrant flower-patterned curtains. In each corner of the large window, there were two tall white ceramic vases with textured surfaces, holding golden spikes with yellow and orange flowers, creating a fresh and cheerful atmosphere. He walked towards the kitchen and found Emilia, who exclaimed upon seeing him."Isn't the house beautiful? My girl brought it to life.""Um, did she do it alone?""Yes! Well, we all pitched in, but it was her idea," she expressed, enchanted by the kind-hearted girl who came to the mansion and treated everyone equally."Has Lindsey had dinner?""Yes, my boy! She must be tired. In the morning, we went shopping, and then, as you can see, she breathed life into this home. I'll prepare

It was Friday, and Lindsey left without having breakfast. She walked to the transit stop, caught her urban bus, and after a 30-minute ride, she reached her destination."Hey, you made it," Janna commented as she saw her friend getting off the public transport."You know how traffic is at this hour," Lindsey replied, walking towards her friend and giving her a hug with a wide smile."Let's have breakfast; today is going to be a special day," Janna said excitedly, grabbing her friend's arm. They walked distractedly towards a street food stall."Welcome, young ladies! What can I get you today?" said a cheerful, plump lady."I'll have a large coffee with milk and 2 pastries, one with meat and the other with chicken," Lindsey quickly said."For me, a large coffee, 3 pastries with meat, chicken, and cheese. Don't forget the guasacaca; last time you denied it to me," Janna requested with puppy eyes."How can you say that when you left the container empty?" Lindsey rolled her eyes."Friend, s

The girls had lunch at the restaurant, and Gloria sent them the food. At 5 in the afternoon, they left the place. Janna locked the gate with a padlock, Lindsey hailed a taxi with a package in her hand, and both of them got in. A car followed them to the university.Freed parked and stepped out, positioning himself at the front of his car. Kyle did the same, crossing his arms.—Did you know what she was studying? —Freed exclaimed, followed by a laugh as he saw his friend's bewildered look.—Shut up.—Now what do we do? We've been watching them all day, and my sister-in-law is full of surprises.Kyle was surprised by the things he had discovered about his wife. Resigned to withdraw, he overheard a group of young people saying,—Finally, today we graduate, we're going to receive our degrees. —shouted a young girl.—I'll be a great fashion designer. —another girl intervened with a joyful sparkle in her eyes.With a dark look, he observed his surroundings. Cars were arriving, people were g

Lindsey raised an eyebrow, surprised by the strange expression on the man's face."It was a calm day.""Should I assign you a car?" He didn't take his eyes off his prey."It's not necessary," she replied, heading towards the stairs."Don't be stubborn. You're my wife, and you can't take public transportation," he indicated behind her."If you're worried about what people will say about Mr. Pratt's wife, don't fret. It hasn't been made public who he is. They only know you're married," she affirmed without turning to look at him and continued on her way.Kyle watched her disappear from his sight, annoyed by her response. He went up the stairs straight to his room, pacing back and forth, bewildered. He didn't understand what was happening with this young woman.He entered the bathroom and took a shower, feeling every drop of water rolling down his body. He was confused, distressed, and suffocated by the things he was discovering about his wife. He tried to control his breathing, refusing

“They provide support to the children; the place doesn't have much staff or resources. Those four young people are their guardian angels; on weekends, they assist us with recreation and teaching”, pointing with a finger, she continued. "That young man is Luan, and that young lady is Stefany. They created a foundation in the name of these little ones to raise funds for food. The other two young ladies, Lindsey and Janna, support us with their designs for the children's clothing. Sometimes, the resources from the public entity arrive late or only cover a portion of the expenses. These angels have come to support me with these little ones. Now, will you tell me why he's here?""I am Lindsey's husband," Kyle blurted out, not taking his eyes off the young woman who had him distracted. His heart was pounding, and he felt embarrassed for acting in that way.Jimena softened; her fears had disappeared. She noticed how this man couldn't take his eyes off the blonde. Without knowing the men's re

Kyle wanted to burst out laughing; he wasn't used to being around kids. Lindsey never thought he would find out about her antics from those rascals' mouths. She took a deep breath and approached the children, grabbing two of them by the hands."Come on, kids! Nana Julia is waiting for us with snacks."Everyone started walking towards the interior of the house, where an older lady was waiting for them in the dining room. Kyle and Freed stood still, watching everyone enter the house.Jimena, a few steps from entering the house, turned around and shouted,"You two stay there, come join us for a snack.""Your wife is a gem, and now I see why you're in love," she patted him on the back twice and walked away with a victorious smile."Stop talking nonsense.""Pleasure to meet you, folks! I'm Julia, the cook," an elderly lady introduced herself, shaking hands with each of them warmly.Kyle scanned the room for his wife, who was sitting with Luan, arranging the children in their seats. Luan fe

“What about the other two young ones?”“One day, I went shopping and came across a young man, crying and disheveled, with no desire to live due to his family's disdain for not understanding his sexuality. I encouraged Luan to come here to share with the children, and since then, he hasn't stopped coming. Stefany is a brave young girl, was sexually abused by her stepfather, by fate, she crossed paths with Lin and Janna, who brought her here, and she lived with us for a while. She and Luan had become very close. One day, she went to live with Luan, who takes care of her like a sister. These four angels appear on weekends to bring joy to these little ones.”Kyle's hardened heart trembled at what he heard. He watched the children play for a while. Lucia greeted him with waves, and he felt a connection with them. He decided."I want to sponsor this place. I want to create a recreational area for the children. On Monday, I'll send someone to talk to you and assess the most urgent needs of t

She attentively waited for a response, receiving nothing but the intense gaze of two sapphires analyzing her as if they were microscopic lenses. Her heart raced in her chest, and her pulse quickened as he began to stealthily walk towards her.He was just a few centimeters away, his scent of citrus and something mannish wafted through Lindsey's nose, causing her body to unconsciously tense. In front of her, Kyle brushed two of his fingers across her cheek, making her shiver. She took a step back, but an agile hand stopped her from retreating and rested on her waist. He stopped touching her face, removed the hair tie, and golden, rebellious strands cascaded like a waterfall down her back. Another hand took off her glasses, and she felt a shiver run down her skin, her legs beginning to wobble as if she had no control over her body."Please... Please leave my room," she expelled with a lump in her throat."Why do you hide your beautiful gray-green eyes behind those horrendous glasses? You
