Chapter 36
Lindsey was in her room, crying her eyes out, reminiscent of the last time she cried so deeply. ‘It was when she experienced evil at the hands of her father as a child.’She couldn't believe that the man who made her forget her past and taught her to love was the same one who destroyed that love in a day. ‘How could he cheat on me with Catrina and even have a child involved?’ She was angry with herself for being deeply in love with him, wanted to stop crying and be strong, but her tears flowed uncontrollably like waterfalls in an endless river. Sadness took over her heart, and she wondered.‘Now what do I do? Where do I turn? My happy marriage lasted so little. You're pathetic, Lin! Now I'm going to join the club of cheated, divorced, and lonely women.’Meanwhile, Kyle continued in his office with his head in his hands, pondering. ‘I saw the disappointment in her eyes. I can't lose her. Oh God! What do I tell Lin now? Catrina! Why did you ruin my life? If it turns out she's really pre

Kyle was silent, with no expression on his face. He had no idea of the storm that was brewing with his wife and grandfather.Catrina emerged from the bathroom, laid back on the examination table, and the doctor applied gel to her belly before activating the ultrasound machine.“What you hear is the sound of the heartbeat,” pointing to the screen, the doctor explained. “This point here is the baby, confirmed by the tests. It's four weeks and two days into gestation.”“See, my love, there's our baby. It's beautiful to know that soon, they'll be with us.”Kyle looked at the screen, and his heart raced. He couldn't believe he would soon be a father. It should be the best news of his life, but right now, it's the worst his mind can process. Inside, he thought, ‘Forgive me, baby, for not feeling excitement about your arrival.’The doctor took a soft paper roll and passed it over Catrina's belly, indicating.“You can get changed, ma'am. While I note down the instructions and the vitamins you

Kyle, drenched, observed every move she made. She was ignoring him, so he positioned himself behind her and shouted."Love! Please talk to me, yell at me, say something. I can't stand you ignoring me."Lindsey stood in front of him and calmly stated."Tomorrow I'm leaving your house. A lawyer will bring you the divorce papers for you to sign."Kyle ran his hands through his head, desperate, started pacing back and forth. His greatest fear was coming true. He exclaimed disturbed."No, my love! We can't get divorced, please, don't. I won't give you a divorce; you are mine.""On the table are the proofs of your infidelity. I imagine your lover sent them as a gift to my workplace. With just those photos, a judge will grant us the divorce. Don't worry, I don't want anything from you, just my things."Kyle approached the table and took the photos, trembling, he looked at each one. In the photos, he was with Catrina from the event until he entered his room. "Damn woman," he exclaimed mentall

Months earlier, Lindsey had found out where her maternal grandmother was living. She was planning to visit her, but the trip got expedited.Upon arriving at Peretola Airport, she took a taxi on the outskirts of Florence. The driver dropped her off at the address she provided—a 75-year-old woman was waiting for her at the entrance of the villa."Grandma! Is it you?" she recognized the lady with white hair."My beloved granddaughter, aren't you going to give a hug to this poor old lady?"Lindsey ran into her grandmother's arms, excited to see her after many years. She could feel her grandmother's caresses in her hair, and the scent of jasmine filled her nostrils, reminding her of her mother."Granny! I thought you had forgotten me.""Of course not, my child. I missed you as much as your mom. How many times I longed to caress your hair.""I missed you so much, Granny. You have no idea how comforting it is to be in your arms like when I was a child," she whispered while shedding tears on

Catrina is petrified; it's the first time he has mistreated her. Sobbing, she shouts,"How can you believe your grandfather? Our baby is only a day old; DNA tests take weeks to deliver results. Your grandfather never wanted me in his family, and he'll find a way to discredit me."With narrowed eyes, the old man watches the scene."Catrina! With money, things can be expedited. Kyle, if you want, you can redo the DNA test here or at any laboratory. Before doing this test, my dear grandson, I conducted a series of investigations. You'd be surprised to know who the father of that child is."Enraged, Kyle glances at his grandfather."Spit it out already.""The father of that child is your cousin Maximiliano. That week in Paris, he stayed at the same hotel as you. After this harpy left your room, she went to the hotel bar and met womanizer Maximiliano. The time he spent in Paris, she spent it with him. Your cousin is already on his way. That heartless one has already received my insults for

In a short period, Lindsey had become a renowned designer in the city, sought after by brides in the region to design their wedding dresses and those of the bridesmaids. Two months later, Lindsey was in her workshop putting the finishing touches on a wedding dress that was to be sent to one of the most recognized fashion houses in Florence."Did you see what time it is, and you haven't had lunch?" grumbled her assistant, arms crossed."Isa, just finish up the last touches on the dress that needs to be sent to Mrs. Magnolia today," Lindsey smiled, rising with difficulty due to her pronounced belly barely allowing her to work. "I was waiting for you to join me for lunch. I'm in the mood for a delicious carbonara spaghetti with a chocolate milkshake."Taking short steps, Isa approached her boss and offered her arm, scolding her, "Lin! You have to eat well; you can't skip lunch."Pouting, Lindsey clung to her assistant's arm and mischievously whispered, "What are you waiting for? Let's go

Lindsey was watching the triplets sleep in the crib; three months had passed since their birth."Lin, let's go to the break room. It's time for you and me to have a conversation about Lina."Lindsey became uneasy. Months ago, she had wanted to talk to her grandmother about her mother, but with the pregnancy, that topic had been forgotten. She took the old woman's hand, and they headed to the break room, sitting face to face."My dear, what I'm about to tell you, take it calmly. Some parts were told to me by your mother, and others are investigations I did at that time.""Okay, I was about to ask you about my mother and why my father hates me so much.""I want you to know that your mother didn't die from an illness; she was murdered. The Rose S.A. textile company and the mansion that belonged to your mother are now yours."Lindsey, upon hearing that her mother was murdered, immediately froze, not fully comprehending what she had just heard. Only one word could escape her mouth."What?"

Four years later.At LaGuardia Airport on the east side of Manhattan, a private plane was landing. A beautiful woman descended from it, accompanied by an older lady and three four-year-old children—a princess and two mini knights.Lindsey moved with elegance towards the exit, where a luxurious car was waiting for them. Sussan disembarked from the inside before she could react; three little whirlwinds came running and jumped on her."Granny... Elita, we missed you," the children stammered as they hugged their grandmother around the waist."How you've grown, my treasures! I barely recognize you from the last time I saw you. How big you've become!" Sussan was delighted; she would finally spend more time with her grandchildren."Yeah! And you won't give me a sloppy kiss," protested Janna with crossed arms.Seeing her, the children came to greet her. Leno was the first to arrive, while Luna and Lucas shouted, "Aunt Janna!"The women warmly greeted each other, and everyone got into the car,
