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 immediately saw her open her eyes and look at him with those intense blue eyes, she gave the impression she was probing him to the depths of his soul, she half opened her lips, running her tongue over them in a gesture that seemed sensual to him, then she began to utter incoherent words. “I'm dead, I'm in heaven, I have an angel in front of me,” he said as he saw the beautiful blue-eyed man, tall, muscular, with a well-groomed beard and brown hair, his imposing presence intensified by the reflection of the bright rays of the sun, the same one he had seen in the morning hours. Christian started to leave, but she grabbed his arm and stopped him. The man did not like physical contact from strangers, he wanted to pull his hand away, but he saw her so vulnerable that he finally allowed it. Besides, he was curious to feel again that kind of electric current where she touched his skin, which seconds later spread throughout his body until it settled in a specific point of his anatomy. She was still talking incoherently, and he couldn't help but rebuke her. “Shut up! Why are you saying so many stupid things? Did the slap on the forehead make you crazy, or were you already crazy?” he spat with a disdainful gesture. “Hold still. I'm going to call for help.” He tried to pull away a second time, but she tightened her grip even more, as if she didn't want to let him go. “Please don't go! Don't leave me alone...I'm tired and dizzy,” she paused as her face grew even paler. “Come with me until they come for me. I'm so afraid of being left alone, I don't like loneliness,” the girl pleaded with a gesture of torment in her eyes. She could not help remembering all those times when she was sick and there was no one to take care of her, because her father never wanted to take care of her, and would not even allow a nanny or a lady on duty to take care of her, she did not know what it was to have a loving father, she was not given that joy, He had always been lazy and unkind to her, he had never given her the slightest hint of love, everything was for Lynnet, she was the renegade daughter whom she did not forgive for having been responsible for the accident in which her mother died, an intense pain invaded her, tears welled up in her eyes, her body began to tremble. “I didn't mean it! I don't remember. I'm not a bad girl, am I?” she said as if talking to someone, in a tone of voice. Christian listened to her, he frowned, but he didn't have the slightest interest in getting involved with her, he didn't want to be sensitized to her suffering, he didn't even have any interest in staying, Why should I? he asked himself, feeling irritated, he didn't care about Jonah's daughter, from his side he would never find any comfort, so he was annoyed by her request and in a despot tone he added. “I'm not your nanny to take care of you, let go of me!” he roughly pushed her away and threw her back on the seat, with this gesture he made her hit, the girl uttered a moan of pain, which the man ignored, he immediately went to call the emergency services. As soon as he ended the call, he received another one, frowning with a bit of confusion as he saw Sally's name on the screen of his latest-generation cell phone. His heart skipped a beat with emotion, she was the most important woman in his life, for a while he was attracted by her extraordinary beauty, but since his only goal in life had been revenge, he rejected her, she ended up married to his best friend who was traveling at that time and had assigned him to take care of her, to protect her while he was away, so without wasting any time, he answered the call. “Sally!” he exclaimed, not hiding his tone of concern, only to have his ear immediately invaded by the woman's sweet voice.“Oh, Christian!” she exclaimed in a tone of regret. “I'm so sorry to bother you, I swear if it wasn't an emergency I wouldn't have done it, I'm ashamed because I know you're a very busy man, pending so many things and me burdening you with mine, but now you're all I have.
“Don't worry Sally, I will always be there for you if you need me. Tell me how I can help you?” she asked, trying to control her racing heartbeat. “I had a terrible accident, I fell down the stairs and hit myself pretty hard, I need urgent medical attention. I feel very bad, I have no one else to turn to, my husband is not here, I can only count on you. Please come,” the woman on the other end of the line pleaded in a distressed tone. Hearing her in that tone of voice, as if she was in deep pain, awakened a spark of concern in him, but for a few seconds a glimmer of doubt crossed his mind, he turned to see the girl bleeding on the seat, the ambulance had not arrived, but his priority was Sally, he considered her his family, without hesitation he answered her in a reassuring tone. “Don't worry honey, give me ten minutes and I'll be right there,” he replied, cutting her off. He heard the girl in the car call him back. “Please don't leave me, could you stay with me? Until the ambulance arrives,” the girl's tone was one of anguish, but he hardened his heart, refusing to perceive any feeling of kindness for her, he cared little for her suffering, so he ignored her pain. “I am sorry, but I cannot stay with you. I have unavoidable obligations, and they are more important than staying at the side of a stranger. Besides, you deserve what happened, because you ran the red light, you were negligent. Now you're not only hurt, but you're going to have to pay for the damage to my car, and I don't think you're going to get away with it. I will send my lawyers to the hospital, I will also give you the card in case you leave before they go, once you are taken care of, continue to call.” He would have no mercy on her.“I warn you, you better not try to shirk your responsibility, because if you do, I swear you will suffer the consequences of your omission, I am not a tolerant man.” When he saw the blood running down her face in larger quantities, he quickly pulled a handkerchief out of his trousers and held it out to her. “Here, put this on the wound to prevent further bleeding, keep pressure on it,” he said, and then with hurried steps, without looking back, he walked away, leaving her all alone.
Meanwhile, the girl smelled the handkerchief and caressed the initials on it, CGJ, she sighed with illusion, she never thought she knew a walking prince as they were described in the children's stories told by her mother, she sighed with illusion, but immediately an intense headache came over her, an intense headache that followed her until she lost consciousness again, plunging her into the deepest darkness, to the same place she often went, not wanting to come out, but wanting to stay there forever, where she felt no pain, neither physical nor mental.There is not enough darkness in the world to extinguish the light of one small candle. Robert Alden.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
Christian, not caring that the accident had not yet been reported to the authorities, moved his car, which, despite the damage to its bodywork, had suffered no mechanical damage. Without wasting any time, he sped away from the scene of the accident on his way to his friend's house.He could not help but feel an unpleasant unease running through his body, turning into a piercing cold sweat that eventually settled in his spine, too worried about Sally's state of health. He was afraid that something bad might happen to her, because if it did, he would never be able to forgive her for not paying him the attention he deserved during those days, and besides, she was the only person who could make him feel loved and protected, perhaps because they had been together in the orphanage until the day he decided to escape.Twenty minutes later, in record time, he arrived at the housing estate in a middle-class area of the city, a few old gabled houses with red roofs, all painted white. On arrival
The young girl looked at him sadly, by now she could feel her heart shrinking at the treatment and contempt of her own father, it was unbelievable how the man who was supposed to protect her, care for her, love her, treated her in such an inhuman way, she could no longer hold back her tears at these thoughts, she wiped them quickly, despite all this, she felt the need to give him an explanation, to try to appease his anger and make him understand what had happened, she longed so much for a little consideration from him."Dad, let me explain, things are not like you think, at no time did I steal my sister's car, she gave it to me to go to the car..." but she could not continue with her explanation because before she could react, he gave her a couple of loud slaps that made her turn her face from side to side, leaving her chewed handprints. "Shut up, you wretch! I don't know how you can behave like this, trying to sully your sister's good name so you can get away with it. You're a wre
Sally, watching the doctor examine her foot, fearing in her heart that he might discover her and expose her to Christian, took a deep breath, building up her courage, because it was better for her to tell him the truth before he ended up discovering it for himself."Doctor, excuse me, but I don't think it's necessary to send me for a series of X-rays, actually my accident is not that serious, I feel fine, I'm pretending to be in an accident," she began to say, fearing the doctor's rebuke. "Don't scold me, please, I just wanted to get a little more attention from my husband, because he lives working and doesn't dedicate enough time to me, that made me think of a plan to make him take care of me.” The woman's lie was an attempt to gain the doctor's sympathy."I need you to help me, right now, when the one who brought me in comes, please support me, remember, it is only a white lie, I promise to tell you the truth later and I will not let any kind of responsibility fall on you. Tell him
Lynda held out her hand with the chain, waiting for the doctor to take it, he took her hand, picked up the chain and placed it in her palm."Lynda, I'm not going to take away the only memory you have of your mother, don't worry, you'll spend the night in the hospital so we can see your progress. Now let me check those bruises and put some cream on them to lighten them up, you'll be as good as new," he smiled.At the man's attention, the girl felt a warmth inside her, for the first time she felt important to someone, their eyes met for a moment, she tried to look away, but he did not allow it."Am I so ugly you don't want to see me?" he asked, pouting comically, making Lynda laugh."You are not ugly, you look like the crown princes of the island," the girl said, but the man's body tensed at her words.She immediately realized that she had said something inappropriate."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, I didn't think you would mind my comparison," the girl said worriedly, unable t
Abby began to search for the money in her wallet, with each new search she found a bill, she was too disorganized, that's why her wallet was always a mess. She arranged the bills by denomination and counted them under Lynda's watchful eye, but Lynda noticed the worried look on her friend's face."What's wrong Abby, is there a problem?" the younger girl asked, wondering if she should tell her the truth. The money wasn't enough to cover the expenses, it would barely cover a fifth of what was surely owed. She wanted to deny that there was a problem, but Lynda's suspicious look wouldn't let her."Don't try to hide it, I appreciate all the support, really, you are the only stable thing in my life, without you I would feel completely abandoned, but I know, we don't have the money to pay for medical expenses, do we?""Don't worry, I'm going to talk to the administration, we'll give some of the credit, we'll ask them to give us a deadline to cancel, I can work some overtime at my job to cove
Lynda watched her friend who seemed to have had her tongue eaten by the mice, she was undaunted as if she had suffered a great impression, she did not even blink, her mouth was slightly open, she did not react even when Leonard, with a strange expression on his face, looked at her from head to toe, but he was too polite to show exactly the impression the girl had given him."Excuse me sir, these young ladies were determined to speak to you, they wanted to force their way in, when I prevented them, they behaved in a rude and haughty manner," the woman revealed, trying to justify the disturbance of a moment ago."Don't worry, Mrs. Deborah, the ladies are my acquaintances, I will take care of them, no problem." However, the woman's gesture showed clear signs of annoyance as she hoped her argument would convince her boss to side with her in the end, but it did not, he invited her into the office.Lynda walked into the office with her friend, at the same time she was afraid to make her rea
Christian held her in his arms, he couldn't help but feel her floral scent, he sighed, impregnating himself with that scent, at the same time searching for a way to control the growing emotions provoked by her closeness. Meanwhile, she felt agitated, especially as her heart began to pound like a noisy locomotive out of control."Excuse me, I didn't see you," she exclaimed nervously and put her hands on the man's chest, pushing him a little to free herself from his grip, although inside she wanted to stay protected in his arms forever, it was crazy, these thoughts, they had no reason to be. Not when she barely knew him, and all thanks to the accident."I see this is a habit with you, running around and bumping into people, if not with your car, then with your body, but apparently this is your favorite pastime," he pointed out in a stern tone of voice, used to simulate how he felt when she was around.Lynda didn't move, she didn't say anything, their eyes met, for seconds they remained
