“What kind of game is this, Maximiliano? I want an explanation! Why am I married to you? When did I get married? I haven't signed anything," she quickly grabbed the other paper and also started reading. Her gaze focused on the part that said: "Stefany Daniela Gutiérrez de Miller, mother of the minor Max Miller Gutiérrez." The documents fell from their hands due to the shock.Maximiliano approached, picked up the documents, and put them away. He sat beside her and began to explain."I'll start from the beginning. Since I arrived in Manhattan, I haven't slept with any woman because, believe it or not, I fell in love with you. Have I been promiscuous? Yes, I have! When I was 23, I was about to get married, but my fiancée left me standing at the altar. She never showed up, and later, I found out she was seeing two men at the same time. At that moment, I didn't hate her for leaving me for someone else; I hated her for not telling me before the wedding and for leaving me standing there like
After the celebration, a couple found themselves in an apartment, engaging in wild sex. They called themselves friends with benefits; in front of others, they pretended to be indifferent, but when one of them wanted to be used in bed, the other would come to their encounter.That night, Lindsey slept curled up to Kyle's body, not untangling even though she was deeply asleep. She was exhausted from the marathon of sex the day before. Kyle, on the other hand, woke up only to admire her and adjust her on his chest, watching how she clung to his body when he moved, intending to make her more comfortable.The next day, Kyle felt the door opening, and he quickly covered his wife. A small figure entered."Hello, Dad! Why haven't you come down for breakfast with us?" a confident little voice babbled.Two little heads peeked through the door.Lindsey, upon hearing Lucas, opened her eyes abruptly and felt embarrassed, separating from Kyle."Kids! How did you sleep in your new rooms? Dad and Mom
Jimena arrived at the hospital, and when she entered the room, she found Courtney lost in her thoughts and in tears. She approached and hugged her tightly."I know it's tough, but I'm here to support you."Courtney had pronounced dark circles under her eyes; she hadn't slept at all. Every time she closed her eyes, the nightmare repeated itself like a video playing on a loop."Thank you, Mrs. Jimena," a weak voice struggled to come out of her throat."Just call me Jimena, dear. The doctor informed me that they'll discharge you in three days. I want to suggest that you come with me to a children's home. I'm the director there, and those kids can help you cope with your pain unless you have another place to go.""I'll be a burden there. I am nothing now. I don't know what to do with what's left of me." She hadn't stopped crying since the assault; her heart was shattered by pain, and her body still showed signs of her misfortune."Don't say that! You are a strong girl, and you'll get thro
Catrina arrived at Pratt Enterprises with an air of superiority, not bothering to greet anyone. She stood in front of the president's secretary and stated:"I have an appointment with Mr. Kyle. Can you let him know I'm here?"Rebeca rolled her eyes upon seeing her and, without wasting time, called her boss. After receiving confirmation, she said:"Mrs. Cooper, Mr. Kyle will see you. You may go in."Catrina entered the room with elegance and approached the large desk, sitting in front of the man who was looking at his computer screen."Dear Kyle, still as handsome as ever," her voice was sensual and enticing to any man.Upon hearing her speak, Kyle narrowed his eyes in annoyance. This woman was trouble. He spoke with a harsh tone:"Speak! What have you come for?""Kyle, it's a pleasure to see you again. I'm here for business. Our companies in collaboration can dominate the global market."Kyle raised his gaze with a warning look."I'm not interested in being part of your business. If y
Lindsey, with the help of her friends, located a psychologist. When they arrived, Jimena explained the situation to the poor girl. Carlota entered to assess Courtney's mental state, but she didn't stay asleep for long."The diagnosis is acute depressive disorder, a result of post-traumatic stress," explained Carlota to Lindsey, handing her a prescription. "Buy this sedative; it will help her relax a bit. She'll need therapy.""What will the therapy be like?" Lindsey responded with nostalgia."Once a week, I'm available on Thursdays at 2 pm. I can come to attend to her personally until she improves and can come to my office.""Doctor, that sounds perfect. I'll contact you to arrange your fees. I leave my sister in your hands. Thank you, Doctor.""I'm here to help. That girl went through something terrible. The best medicine is time, support, and the love you can give her."Jimena recommended leaving her at the orphanage. Lindsey peeked into the room and saw her lying on the bed. She en
In the Pratt mansion's room, Lindsey nestled into her husband's chest, sobbing. She began recounting her reunion with her sister and the deplorable state she found her in."My little doll, we're all here to support you. You know you can count on me for anything you need," he reassured her."Yes, dear, I know that," she lifted her face, and he captured her lips. A passion war had begun, and both were in the peak of their marriage.A month passed. A woman was perplexed in her apartment, holding a pregnancy test in her hand. She didn't know what to do, and tears started flowing freely.Janna had no partner, only a person who turned to her when either of them needed the warmth of the other. She didn't know how to define their relationship; there were no rules or jealousy. In the outside world, they were like strangers, but within the intimacy of four walls, they shared even their deepest secrets.She threw herself on the bed, reminiscing about how her sexual life started two years ago.Ja
Janna, after much thought, decided to call Freed. She reached out and grabbed the phone from the nightstand, dialed his number, and after three rings, she heard,"Miss me?" he answered with a sensual voice as he was arriving at his apartment."Freed! Are you busy? We need to talk," she whispered uncertainly; he noticed it in her tone of voice."I'm coming over," he didn't let her respond, hung up the phone, grabbed his car keys, and left.After 10 minutes, the doorbell rang. Janna jumped, nerves attacking her. Touching her belly, she said,"I love you, baby. Now let's go tell Dad the news. Let's see if he wants us in his life. If not, I'm here to give you lots of cuddles and love."She got up and headed to the door, opened it, and there was the blonde with green eyes, his gaze fixed on her."Freed, come in and take a seat."He could see the distress in her eyes. Without saying anything, he passed by and sat on the couch. She did the same, sitting beside him. Looking at their joined ha
"Catrina, we have to wait for the best moment to execute our plan. Calm down! Don't do something crazy that ruins your most desired moment with your son. He'll be with you soon," the other person on the phone expressed emotionlessly."How do you expect me to calm down? That damn Maximiliano won custody of my son because of that judge. He couldn't be bought or pleased with my body," Catrina yelled hysterically."Use your head and think, we can't expose ourselves. You have more reasons than I do to get revenge on the Pratt family. My main goal is Lindsey and the fortune that belongs to me.""Kyle and Maximiliano are the ones responsible for my misfortunes. Because of them, I'm alone; they've taken away my family.""I know! With Kyle, you have to hit where it hurts the most. For that, we have to wait for them to lower their guard. I'm finding out which event they'll all be gathered at, and that's where we can act. Our hour of revenge is coming," the unscrupulous person deliberated, carin
