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 washed the dishes, when I left the kitchen the room was completely empty.
I looked at the stairs and hesitated a little before going up to the bedroom. I pushed open the door and was surprised to see Carlos sitting on the couch, he had a laptop on his lap.
I grabbed my nightgown and went to the bathroom to take a shower, I stayed in the tub until my skin began to wrinkle. He took me to bed, and at the end, I heard Carlos say softly, "Michele told me that you made her go to Japan two years ago."
Although it sounded like he was asking me a question, he had already believed that I was the one who had done it.
I didn't mind telling him that two years ago the woman he deeply loved had chosen three million dollars over him.
That's right I gave Michele a choice three years ago, I said that if she chose Carlos, I would give up the marriage between our families, otherwise I would give her three million dollars as compensation.
At that time she was sure that if I did not become Mrs. Sky, another rich girl would, in any case she who had no insurance and was a relay would not marry Carlos Sky and would never become Mrs. Sky.
She understood and that was why she was so decisive about leaving. She preferred the money took it and left for Japan.
She must have some hope because she ended up coming back.
Michele Mary knew that no one else could stop Carlos Sky.
He could divorce her if he wanted to marry her.
I remained silent, Carlos suddenly choked me violently. My abdomen cramped, it was a pain that could definitely shake my decision.
I twisted the sheets tightly between my fingers and I could hear Carlos' cold voice saying in a ridiculous tone, "If you love me as much as you said you love me, why did you make me do what I didn't want to do back then?"
My eyes were moist and tears were about to come out of my eyes. Carlos suddenly grabbed a handful of my hair and said cruelly and passively, "Two years ago the Monn family, had the most power in the city of Seattle, everyone was under their control, but now? Natalia Moon your family that used to support you, is now in a real decline."
I only felt better after I bit my lips hard, the taste of blood between my teeth, invaded my mouth and I suppressed the bitterness in my heart. The tears in my eyes disappeared as I turned to look at him with total indifference.
Even though we were doing the most intimate thing in the world, we were still like two strangers. In fact we could say that we were more distant than strangers.
I couldn't help but smile and say, "Carlos You oppose Moon Enterprises because you hate me, 'because what has Moon Corporation done wrong? For two long years Moon corporations have helped Sky corporations, they have tried in every way to bring benefits to Sky corporations, even if it meant losing everything, how dare you attack them?
I had less than 6 months to live, what else could I do?
My life was about to end, but I was still in love and I really wanted to date Carlos, even if he had been lying to me, I would be on cloud nine about it.
By the way, I had never been idolized or treated as something precious and important in my entire life. I had never experienced romance, which was why I often died of jealousy of Natalia and why I clung to Carlos as if I were possessed.
Even if he was going to torture me, I would gladly accept.
Between Carlos and me, I was very insignificant.
I lowered myself and never objected.
Carlos didn't leave as usual, after taking a shower, he sat on the couch and went back to working on his laptop.
I got up and put on my sweater and asked him, "Are you going to stay here today?"
My vision was very good and I was able to read what was on the laptop screen, they were documents previously signed at Moon Companies.
Moon Enterprises had encountered a lot of problems recently, many of our employees had broken contracts and the company's stock was falling, I knew that he was the one who had done this, but I didn't report him, I expected him to do this after taking it under serious consideration.
Carlos ignored me, so I didn't bother again, instead I bent down and opened the drawer to take out the divorce agreement and put it on the bed. Just as I was about to ask so that we could discuss the divorce with me he received a phone call and quickly answered it.
It was Michele.
His voice was hysterical and full of fear as he said, "Carlos save me, she got someone to kidnap me!"
It was as if it was instinctive, Carlos turned to look at me.
His expression was grim as he asked, "Did you send someone to do this?"
I held out my hands in front of me and asked, would you believe me if I said no?"
Carlos looked at me and turned to leave, I ran after him to try to stop him and stroked his face with the palm of my hand bravely and asked confused, "Carlos why do you trust her so much? What if she made all this up?"
"I know her, and she's not like you?"
I was stunned. "She's not like you."
Carlos pushed me away and made mention of leaving, I grabbed his arm stubbornly and begged softly, "Don't go, stay here with me."
He slapped my face and I immediately went down hard, I watched the man walk out the door and felt the metallic taste in my mouth, I ended up throwing up on the soft white carpet lying there.
This was the first time Carlos had ever hit me, he had destroyed my dignity for that woman who had planned her own show.
And what did I ever do?
I made him choose between me and Michele.
I woke up feeling sick.
I packed my aching stomach and got up to put on a dress, I put on a long, shiny off-the-shoulder dress, and over it I put on a beige coat, I put on my makeup exquisitely, I even stopped to curl my hair that goes to waist height, patiently. I called my assistant after I put on my silver high heels.
"Find out where Michele Mary is." I ordered.
I took the divorce agreement and put it in my purse, and soon I was on my way to the hospital, my assistant was already waiting for me at the entrance, he was covered in snow.
He ran to open the car door for me as soon as he saw me, then he said respectfully: "President Sky, Mr. Carlos and Miss Michele, are at the hospital, I have put people I trust to go after the criminals who tried to rape you. You were right, this was all a show orchestrated by Ms. Michele."
I got out of the car and quickly bent down to check my reflection in the window, swiped some more lipstick and asked him, "Did you call Mr. Sky? (Carlos' father) When will he arrive?
Although we are separating, I want justice for myself.
"Mr. Sky will be here in about 20 minutes.
I looked at the beautiful face reflected in the car window mirror and couldn't help but sigh, it was an exquisite face. Everyone who knew me said that God was very generous to me, I had fine, well-defined features, I am very beautiful.
We arrived in front of the hospital, I put the lipstick in my purse and got out of the car and entered the hospital, being followed by my assistant. When I got to Michele's room, I heard her say confidently, "It must be her! That must be Natalia Moon! Only you two know I'm back. Besides, I have no enemies other than her. Carlos is dying of jealousy. She's jealous. I'm the one you really love."
Carlos consoled her gently: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Take care of your health. Don't worry! I'll look into this myself, and I'll make her come and apologize if she really did this."Ha, what right did Carlos have to say that?If I, Natalia Moon, had done this, would I apologize?Was it because he didn't know me well enough? Or was it because he was used to seeing me give in to him, so he thought I was prey he could dominate and manipulate as he pleased?I walked into the room and smiled fearlessly as I said, "I'm the one who did this, how am I supposed to apologize in a sincere way? Carlos, do you want me to kneel in front of her?"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
Carlos' eyes were fixed on me. I really couldn't understand why she was acting this way. “Why is he pretending to care about me? We have already divorced…” I took my hand from his, trying to calm myself down. !I don't know what to tell you, maybe I've always wanted love, how rich I am, it just dawned on me that I could buy love with the money I have anyway, it's not like I've never done that before.” I paused for a second, as I looked into her clear eyes, then continued, "I traded Moom companies for our marriage, now I'm just trading money for love." “Then let's date.” I was so surprised that I dropped my purse on the floor. "What did you say?" “I will date you and pretend I love you, I will spoil you, take care of you as if you were the most important thing in my life, I will make you happy and do everything you want me to do for you. I will be a perfect boyfriend until my wedding day.” Her last words woke me up and brought me back to reality, this was all nothing but a dream.
Lucy I had known us for a long time. Long before my encounter with Carlos Sky. So she knew my feelings for him from the start.She knew I had a password for everything. And this password? It was related to the day I met Carlos.It was 12/27/2009. The first snow of that year had begun to fall that day.“Carol, you're pale. Stop forcing the smile.”"I'm not. I think it's too cold.”I talked some more with her at The Pet Shop, and hang out. On the way back home. A strange number called me.I picked up the phone, asked. "Who is it?"“I am Miss Sky, Michele, Mary.”I scoffed, said, "Ain't even married yet."Michelle, paused for a second and continued saying vehemently. "I know. It's how I address myself. I will be. Carlos' wife. Because you took that away from me years ago. Natália Moom, I waited for him. And I watched her standing beside him. For all these years, now it's time for us to finally settle the score. Is it my turn to get what I want? Everyone will admire me. For being the new
