Christian GoldmanWhen I saw Leonard, I didn't think he would be able to face Salvatore and the press and confess what he had done, but he did, and in that moment, I felt compassion for him."I was the one who carried out a series of acts against Christian, starting with showing him Lynda's supposed body, making him believe she was dead and taking him away from her even when I saw him broken," he paused as we all stood in silence. "We put together a case to frame Christian and put him in jail for his wife's supposed death.Leonard's expression was one of sadness, his eyes were lost on the floor and his voice sounded broken."He lost her, he went to jail, I made his life a hell, I was the only one responsible for his misfortune, I wanted to destroy him... although in my favor I must say I thought I did not love her... I was angry for everything I had done to her, she is my blood, my niece, my sister's daughter, whom I loved so much, and that life did not take her away and did not know
One month laterChristian EvansI entered the luxurious building where the former Goldman transnational company operated, located in the financial district of the city of Vancal, capital of Balaica Island, because I had changed its name to Goldman Evans Economic Consortium, I did not suppress the old name because I had to take it in honor of the only person who trusted me and gave me his support, and that thanks to him I could be what I was today, my mentor, we hoped to contribute as a company to the growth of the island and promote the tourism sector.When people saw me, they stopped immediately, it had always been like that, because I was a man who inspired strength, except for those years when he wanted to punish me, but those were left behind and thanks to the love that Lynda and I had for each other, now ended up being overcome. As for my wife, she was about to receive the crown, the coronation ceremony was scheduled in a few days and that made her nervous, I supported her in ev
Lynda Skarosky I left the hospital with mixed emotions, I knew how bad Jonah Jonhson had been to me in the past, but I couldn't shake this feeling of sadness, dozens of questions came to my mind Could we have had a different life? What if my mother hadn't died? Would Jonah have changed? If he had paid more attention to me, would I have become another Lynnet? I couldn't help but sigh as we drove back because there were no more answers to these questions. Christian took my hand and stroked it gently, I know he was also imagining different scenarios, because one of the people Jonas had hurt the most, apart from me and even Lynnet herself, had been him and his father. "My dear, don't martyr yourself anymore... there are situations that we can't solve... let's leave the past there and continue on our way... what we have lived through will serve us as an experience, besides, both the good and the bad experiences have helped us to be what we are today," Christian told me and he was right
Christian EvansThe sky was deep blue, no clouds in sight, the sun was shining, reflecting on the green grass, the people in their finery stood out brightly, like a beacon under the sun, dresses and jackets coated in a golden glow, and the wind is fair, it was like a gentle caress on the face.I feel the green scent of the earth soaking the air like a sponge, filling my nostrils with a rich aroma. The air smelled of warm summer breezes, fresh spring grass, the incense of a hundred thousand prayers, the flowers of the city gardens, and new hopes.People were laughing and chatting happily, their eyes fixed on the balcony of the Royal House where Lynda and I, the new rulers of Balaica, would soon appear.To say that I am not nervous would be a lie... but at the same time it is an indescribable feeling... neither of us expected such an outcome, nor so much responsibility, but together there is no burden we cannot carry, and I will be by my wife's side to help her along the way.The anxiet
Twenty-Two Years AgoThe eight-year-old boy listened to his parents argue. He watched the scene through the crack in the door. His father spoke in a pleading tone while his mother remained impassive.“Sherlyn, you can't leave me like this!” he cried in despair. “Tell me, what can I do to keep you? If the problem is money, don't worry, I built the Evans Empire from the ground up once, I can do it again, but only with you by my side and with our son, you'll see how everything will work out, I'll continue to give you everything you need, I promise you'll never want for anything,” her father continued, trying to get closer to her mother.However, she slapped his hand and looked at him with a gesture of contempt.“I don't want to build anything with you, why should I when I can have it all with Jonah Johnson? He's a young man and now ten times richer than you were,” the woman pointed out without hiding a smirk.“Because he stole from me, he took advantage of our friendship and the trust th
Lynda heard the alarm clock, it rang incessantly as she tried to wake up, but it seemed her eyes refused to cooperate, she reached out her hand to turn it off so she could sleep for a few more minutes, but it fell to the floor, the noise caused by its fall brought her out of her reverie, she jumped up, looked for it on the floor and it was completely destroyed.A sad expression appeared on her face, she realized that she would have no way to wake up the next day, she picked up the pieces and threw them into the waste basket of the bathroom, then she started the routine of showering and brushing her teeth, while she thought about how she was going to wake up the next day. She hurriedly changed into a baggy shirt and jeans and ran downstairs so as not to be late for her destination. The serving lady was waiting for her with breakfast, looking around for fear of being discovered.“My love, I made you this sandwich, take it before your father and sister come,” the woman held out her arm
He remained motionless for a moment, without stopping to observe the unconscious girl, she was beautiful, she had the appearance of an angel, when he reacted he could not help but caress her face with his fingertips, he felt a kind of current flowing between them, he saw a red liquid running down her forehead, she had been injured in the collision. For a moment he had mixed feelings, one part of him wanted to get away from her like someone fleeing from the plague, just remembering whose daughter she was gave him a deep disgust, his stomach churned with disgust, rage stirred within him, the other part, he wanted to care for her and protect her, he shook his head in confusion What the hell do I care about this girl? I should only care about her for my plans to use her against her bastard of a father, nothing else, he said to himself.He let go of her, dropping her on the seat like a lifeless doll without any consideration, but he didn't expect that move to provoke her reaction, he immed
Lynnet was at the hairdresser's having a beauty treatment, they had already put the finishing touches to her impressive reddish hair, it was inevitable that she attracted attention wherever she went, she enjoyed an extraordinary beauty that caused admiration, not only from men but also from women. She looked at herself in the mirror with devotion, she was proud of her beauty, no one could compare with her, besides she was a regular visitor to the aesthetics, because she loved to highlight the attributes she knew nature had given her.Her phone began to ring and she answered it, but when she looked at the screen and saw the picture of Lynda, her twin sister, she made a gesture of annoyance. He didn't want to answer her, she was an insufferable fool, he resented her victim attitude and her Mother Teresa of Calcutta complex, he didn't know how the two of them could share the same face, if it wasn't so beautiful he would have changed it long ago. Though he could force her to do it, he alw
