Carlos was surprised and asked me, "Just say what you want?"
It started to snow outside. It would be my birthday in less than two months. It would then be Christmas Eve.
I didn't know if I would make it.
I frowned, smiled, and suggested, "You know I've always liked you. That's why I want you to put aside all the problems we have and date me for 6 months.
Carlos farted and answered: "Dream on, darling!
The voice on the phone was devoid of love. In the big room, loneliness hovered over me and my tears fell. My heart ached so much that I fell asleep.
I hid the sadness in my voice and said softly with a weak smile: "Carlos, you don't want to divorce me, do you? How about this?
Date me for six months and be a husband who takes care of me and cares for me. Even if you don't love me, you will have to pretend to love me deeply. If you can survive for six months, then I'll agree to divorce you. I'll even give you all my family's wealth. Think about it. Survive for six months and you can get your hands on the entire Moon family fortune. You can even marry your great love openly for six months. You have nothing to lose."
Carlos asked me with indifference, "Pretend to date you for 6 months?"
It would be a six month act and I would be the only audience.
In the end I would be lying to myself.
I said softly, "That's right. Please date me."
"Oh, you won't disgust me for six months?"
I was silent.
I watched the black car drive off in the morning leaving the mansion, I struggled to get up.
When I woke up in the morning, my head and dizzy and heavy, my throat was dry and I had trouble swallowing. I must have cried a lot last night. I got up and took the medicine that the doctor prescribed and went to do my hygiene and get ready to go to work.
Besides being Carlos' wife I am also the CEO of Moon Companies...
I was reading some documents in the office when the director of Sky Companies called.
His voice was low when he said seriously: "Did you know that Miss Michele is back from Japan? You have to keep a close eye on Carlos during this period. I will take care of the rest.
I was surprised and asked, "When did this happen?"
Mr. Sky replied, "Yesterday."
I wasn't surprised he refused my proposal, he wouldn't want to pretend to be in love with me in front of Michele.
Carlos wouldn't want her to think that he loved me.
I felt a great pain when I thought about this.
Since I won't be able to have him, the best thing is to let him go.
I smiled and said lightly. "Dad I want to get a divorce. yes that is what I called my father-in-law."
Mr. Sky stopped breathing for a few minutes and asked hesitantly. "What did you say?"
"Carlos doesn't love me. the relationship between you two also became very strained after he married me. Your relationship will probably improve after our divorce."
Mr. Sky would never agree to our divorce.
Unless:
I looked at the stock transfer document on top of mine in front of me and smiled relieved as I said. "Don't worry, I will transfer all the shares in Moon Companies to Carlos. What do you think?"
"What do I think?"
I covered my eyes that were watering, and swallowed the sadness I was feeling in my heart. Then I answered softly: "At that time, there were several families that wanted to join forces with my family through marriage. At the time I chose your family, but what did I want out of it?"
I said, mockingly, "Dad you wanted the Moon family and I just wanted him."
Mr. Sky was silent. At the end he sighed heavily.
I hung up and signed my name on the stock transfer document: Natalia Moon. I was the only person left in the Moon family since my parents passed away, and I was about to die as well.
The Moon family could only depend on Carlos Sky. Carlos is an exceptional man, besides not having enough power to protect his wife during those two years ago, he was cunning and cruel in his business dealings, he was a very determined person.
He was so powerful that his opponents were afraid of him.
After being at a disadvantage two years ago due to his lack of power, he began to accumulate a great deal. The Sky family today was powerful enough to take on the Moon family.
Even though there was loss in both families, Carlos had nothing to fear. I knew that he was waiting for an opportunity, for when he could take back control of his life that was in the hands of his father and Michele's return. He was now ready to and would go after the Moon family. Instead of watching him destroy it, I could deliver it directly into his hands.
After all, in six months there would be no one to inherit the company anyway.
After signing the transfer document, I also wrote a will.
There was only one small sentence: "Carlos I hope you have everything you want in this life.
I took the document and took it to Mr. Tulio he was my father's lawyer.
He took a quick look at the papers in surprise and then looked at the will again.
I said with a slight smile, "When I leave, Give everything to Carlos, but I hope he can speak some nice words at my wake."
Mr. Tulio looked at me sadly and asked, "Madam President what words would you like him to say?"
I casually replied, "Something affectionate."
When I met Carlos the song "love me like you do" was playing
And this was the last song my mother played for me before she died - she played the piano very well.
After leaving Mr. Tulio I called Carlos again. He answered the phone growling: Why did you call me again?
Again?
I had only called him twice this year, that included yesterday's call.
I forced a smile and asked, "Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"
He coldly replied, "No."
...
It was snowing, I reached out to grab some snowflakes. The icy sensation seemed to go straight to my heart. Suddenly I said, "I hear Michele is back in town."
Carlos cut me off coldly. "What are you going to do with her? Natalia Moon let me warn you about something, I won't leave you alone if you do anything to her!"
I wanted to tell him that I would part with him and make them happy. I wanted him to come home for dinner to discuss our divorce.But in his heart I was always hard and cruel.Since he thought like that about me, I'll let him continue to think like that until the end.I said with a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes, "So are you coming home tonight?""Can you assure me that you won't get jealous and that you won't do anything to hurt her?"I couldn't answer anymore...Carlos hung up on me.I put my cell phone in my purse and was about to leave when I saw the person I least wanted to see in front of me.Michele Mary.The woman that Carlos loved with all his heart.We stood facing each other. I gave her a small smile and was about to walk past her when she said softly, "Are you Mrs. Sky?"I paused a little and looked at her with corners of my eyes and asked, "What did you say?""Are you happy as Mrs. Sky?"Michele Mary was challenging me. I turned to assess her, and her features were thin, she wore a light layer of makeup, but her lips were bright red. It was a frigid winter here in Seattle, but she wore a thin bluish-grey dress and a black coat over it and black sandals and a black handbag to complete her look.She was really very beautiful. No wonder Carlos was in love with her.My rival was standing right in front of me, and I was dying to be jealous of her. I really wanted to ignore her, but she made a point of trying to get at me by saying, "I d
Carlos noticed that I was behaving strangely. He opened his arms over the back of the sofa and waited for me to start talking. The meal had been served for a few hours, so it was already cold. It didn't taste like anything, and I chewed slowly.I tested his patience. He stood up and stopped in front of me saying coldly and harshly, "Natalia what do you want?"I put my cutlery down on the table and looked at him. I realized that he was looking at the dishes on the table. and suddenly asked, "You did it yourself?"He was looking strange, I got up and started cleaning everything while saying, I asked you earlier if you would come for dinner, you said yes, so I got excited and did all the dishes for you.Carlos frowned and asked, "What were you trying to do?"I stopped what I was doing and looked at him, his gaze was dark and I could find nothing of the tenderness that was once present in his eyes.I wanted to say something but I stayed silent, I finished quietly clearing the table and wa
Michele looked like she had seen a ghost when she saw me, she started screaming like crazy and throwing everything around her. Carlos enveloped her in a hug when he saw her behavior.Her hug was always warm and comforting.Michele slowly calmed down as she spoke Carlos' name repeatedly. And that man, my husband, comforted her. "Everything is fine! I'm here, she won't hurt you."Carlos' sudden kindness allowed her. He turned to me and coldly questioned me. “What are you doing here at the hospital? Go away now.”He always sent me home ahead of Michele.I looked away quickly from the kindness Carlos was showing Michele. At that moment, Michele took advantage of Carlos' influence and threw a glass of hot water in my face. I screamed in pain and backed away in panic. I hit a few things and just as I was about to fall, someone working my arm.I looked at him desperately. "Carlos."His gaze was conflicted as he looked at me. Then he turned his gaze to Michele and then took me to the ER. I lo
I had a dream it happened in the condominium, my parents and Carlos were there. They were talking excitedly about my birthday.I stayed on the side of the couch listening to Carlos talk. His voice was warm and soft. “Natalia likes the color red. Let's decorate the place with red roses. I'm going to play the piano because she likes it.”Carlos' eyes were full of joy and tenderness, the sun that entered through the window, shone on him, making him look more handsome and charming than he already was. I wanted to reach out and touch his face. But my fingers passed through it in the air. I screamed his name out loud in total panic. However, he didn't answer me. I cried desperately and everything in front of me disappeared.When my eyes opened, I realized I was in a hospital room. I was still wearing the same dress as before. Carlos was standing beside the bed with his blank expression on his face.It was like I couldn't accept it. After seeing Carlos being kind in my dreams. I closed my ey
Covered by a layer of snow, the city was so beautiful that there were no words to describe it, I wandered down the street past the countless shops in the middle of the snow, dressed in a gray dress and a long black coat, the earrings of pure silver I wore that day matched my makeup perfectly.It was a very busy city, standing in the middle of that crowd that went everywhere, I felt like a real stranger. I looked at everyone passing by, while the cold wind carried the snowflakes that landed on my face, in my hair and on my clothes.But I didn't feel cold at all, maybe I was numb, maybe if I had something more important to do, I started to follow a man who passed by me.While he stopped somewhere to smoke, I gathered all my courage and approached him, with my bank card in my hand. When I opened my mouth to speak my voice came out low. “Would you like to date me for 6 months? I will give you 5 million in return.”A little flustered by my request, he looked at me like I was crazy. After a
I was silent as Carlos continued to look at me, waiting for an answer.I ran to get off the bus as soon as it stopped at the next stop, I was relieved when he didn't get off, I took a taxi back to where I left my car and drove home.The luxurious condo, looking extremely empty, I walked in and sat down on the couch, unable to focus on anything other than what Carlos had said. “I still owe her a wedding.”To be honest, Carlos really owed Michelle Mary a wedding.Years ago Michelle gave up on Carlos, the same way he gave up on her.Even if she had refused the money and insisted on staying in town with Carlos, he would have dumped her.It seemed that he had no right or wrong in their case.He should have given her a big wedding years ago.I had just taken her place and it was time to restore everything to its place once and for all.While I was lost in my thoughts when Lucy Gray called me.She was my friend. And everyone knew I didn't have many friends, she ran a pet mall in Seattle, the
It had been snowing for days, the city of Seattle was bright in the light with everything covered in white snow. We stood face to face in the narrow street, his shadow stretching long and thin on the ground below us. He could have easily been mistaken for a character straight out of a cartoon. He heard what I said and was surprised, he looked at me curiously but didn't say anything as I called. He simply asked me: “Where do you live young lady?”“In the Moom family condo.”As soon as I answered, I remembered that Carlos had never been there before, so I quickly gave him the address. He gave me a wan smile and took out the scarf to wrap around my neck, his body heat still lingering.I heard her say, "Come on, I'll walk you home."His smile made him even more handsome...It looked like his eyes and eyebrows had been painted on just to increase his charisma.I walked over to walk beside him and tried to take his hand, I could tell he was a little taken aback at first but I was looking so
I wanted to date someone actually, I wanted to be loved. I was so desperate that I would even go along with someone pretending to love me.Because I didn't have much time left.I had no intention of wasting my precious time on a few things.I smiled at him and said, "None of your business."I got back in my car and started driving again, to my surprise, Carlos opened the door and got into the passenger seat, with the car still moving, which was very dangerous, I slammed on the brakes and I couldn't help but yell at him . "You are crazy? Do you want to get hurt?”There was no hint of fear on his face, I fixed him with an icy glare, I was about to tell him to get out of my car when he said, "Are you still in love with me?"It sounded like a question, but I think he already knew the answer.What a shameless person! In three months he was going to marry another woman, but he was sitting in my car asking if I still loved him."Does he really think he can do whatever he wants?"Looking back
