28- EVA
My God, I was going crazy.
Louis was driving me crazy!
Shouldn’t I supposed to be writing his name with hearts? Or daydreaming about how we'll look together twenty years from now?
Well, no.
Actually, I had started a list on how to kill my husband without raising suspicions and end up in jail.
It had been three days since we declared our eternal love and that he didn’t leave me due to the fact that I walked through life without a uterus, and since then, he’d dedicated himself to showing me every video on IVF that he found, or the most prominent specialists money could buy, or every surrogacy program that appeared on G****e.”
And I wanted to kill him.
Don't take me the wrong way, I was pleased and flattered that the man wanted to have a child with me, but honestly? I felt like he was going too fast.
Just a few days ago we said our first I love you, a fact that I had loved and hated at the same time because my surprise had

LOUIS 29- LOUIS
“You see? My son is smarter than your daughter.” “I just saw your son putting his finger in his mouth after holding it up his nose, Alex. You really think that?” Alex sighed heavily. "Nothing’s perfect, Louis." And I should know. I settled into my chair and continued to watch the children playing with Sansa and Erick. This had been my life for the last two days because now I was a guest at the Hardy house since, although I had left the apartment, I hadn’t been able to leave the building. My plan had been to return to the boat, but it was impossible for me to go to that place when everything reminded me of my wife and the times we had there the two of us or with the rest of the family and friends. And alone? Much less. Before, I had Sansa to distract me, but now the dog was no longer mine, but Milena's. How could I take her teddy bear away from my daughter? I just didn't. Therefore, I had
LOUIS 30- EVA- THE END
Who would have thought a thirteen-year-old girl scared with life would end up making her dreams come true. Definitely not me, and now I wanted to cry when I saw one of my biggest dreams come true. I didn't know how to handle the emotions that gripped my entire being. I heard everyone around me toasting and celebrating the restaurant's opening, but I couldn't take my eyes off the name before me. Lucie was written in italics, neat and clean on the front of the building. My writing. Scripture I wouldn’t know I had if the owner of that name hadn’t welcomed me twenty-four years ago. If she hadn't taught me to write and add or subtract, if she hadn't taught me to fight for what I wanted in life. One night while in Hawaii, I commented to Louis about my desire to honor her at the restaurant, and that my initial idea had been the counter in the bar, which ended up in shreds thanks to the idiotic workers; so he was the o
LOUIS EPILOGUE- LOUIS
New York, three years later. My son's blue eyes were watching me intently. As if it weren't three in the morning and I wasn't dying of sleep. “Why don’t you sleep?” I mumbled regretfully, noticing that his eyes shone with joy at my misery. "No, Jake, it's not time to play, it's time to sleep." "Maybe if you didn't let him nap so late, this would stop happening." The air caught in my lungs when I saw my splendid wife leaning against the doorframe. My goddess. "I’ll start doing it tomorrow, babe. I promise you.” But she just laughed in amusement before coming into our youngest son's room and taking him in her arms. “You've been promising the same for months, sweetheart. By now it would be a miracle if you did.” I marveled once more at how incredible my wife looked with a baby in her arms. Maybe that's why we kept having more and more. Oh, right you don't know what I'm talki
LOUIS EPILOGUE 2- AIDEN
New York, 10 years after the previous epilogue. “And that's when I decided to trust him and tell him about the things those people had made me live, and boy, was it not the best decision I made in life, little one, because he sought the help I needed, and when I faced Daley? Incredible, there I felt like the strongest superhero in the world. "Do you realize she's asleep, right?" I looked away from my daughter, who was born a few hours ago, and fixed it on my wife, my lover, and my best friend. And who just now was looking at me amused from the hospital bed. No matter how tired she looked, Amanda would always stop my breath when she laid those green eyes on me. Even when I met her at thirteen and she posed her sad and regretful look because of the amount of harassment she received for being red-haired and shy. Harassment that I had ended up by defending her, and that fact, had helped develop our friendship. Frie
LOUIS FIRST GLANCE
Neither the darkness of the night nor the freezing rain would stop me.I couldn't see anything because of how late it was and the clothes I was wearing, the only thing I had with me besides from the small bag my sister had given me, started to get soaked and make my body shiver from the ice water falling on me at that moment.Then my tears couldn’t be contained any longer, and I started to cry for the fear drowning me, but it was too late to go back, because if I did, I knew what awaited me in that place.Suddenly I stopped as the lights of a car shone on my faces, which made my breathing stop.The car lowered its lights and when it was close to me, I realized that it was a cargo truck and that it was driven by a woman.“Are you lost, girl?” the lady shouted from the other side of the road to be heard above the rain."I'm going to New York,” I answered back, afraid to get closer.What I said must have been funn
LOUIS 1- LOUIS
PRESENTOne of the first memories I had of me was from when I was seven.I remember walking into Dad's office without knocking and seeing him between the woman’s legs who was on his desk. They didn't even realize they had a witness, so just as I entered, I left.Distressed, I looked for my mother in the garden to tell her what I had seen and to my surprise, she simply laughed and continued tending her roses as if nothing had happened; years later I would understand the nature of that marriage and my own perception of life would change with it.Women and men were just that: women and men.The idea of a relationship for me was to be with the same woman a few times without making any commitment, making my intentions clear to her since the beginning, and once I got bored of her, I let her go until another caught my attention.Simple and effective.If I was honest, no one was hurt, neither of the parties involved e
LOUIS 2- LOUIS
I focused all my attention on the woman when she turned to me in those bright red heels that left her in the same height as mine and smiled at me before pointing to her right eyebrow."One,” she muttered before tossing her black hair back and showing me her ears. “I have four in each ear, so it would be nine." she brought her index finger to her nose and I was surprised when an object suddenly appeared from between her nostrils. “Ten.”“What the hell just happened?” I said confused, "Are you also a magician?""It's a septum,” she answered amusedly before wrapping her arms around my neck and pressing her mouth to mine.I parted my lips in a mixture of wonder and desire, gripping her hips tightly when her tongue touched mine, sending a chill through my entire body.I wasn’t a big fan of kissing, in fact, I could easily get past it during sex, I couldn’t even remember the last time I had done it, b
LOUIS 3- LOUIS
“To preserve food, we must understand the variations that exist for each type of product, I mean, the meat won’t be preserved the same as a fruit or a vegetable in the refrigerator and in the same way a different technique would be used with fish or another white meat, and keeping each food properly packaged and separated from each other to prevent contamination.”I watched the class taking notes as I developed today's class.“Could someone name a food preservation method?” I asked noticing how the twenty heads before me rose like a spring and looked at me with fear.Yep, I tended to have that effect when I taught my classes, for a reason my cooking school was one of the most respected in the state.The Gordon Ramsay of the culinary school.“Come on, guys, it's not a difficult subject. Every day we employ at least one method at home... James?” I fixed my gaze on the youngest student which was te
