LUCIANA BROWN

Luciana woke up agitated after dreaming about Diego, who was the love of her life. For five years she had stopped sleeping, and although she often used sleeping pills, she did not want to depend on them.

Diego had been her boyfriend since university, she had met him on the first day, he was the handsome, athletic type, with a beautiful smile and all women and even some men were in love with him, but Diego was different from the athletes whom She was used to dealing with him, he was attentive, affectionate, a gentleman, when he started asking her out she thought it was just a facade, but it wasn't like that, he was transparent, so much so that he fell in love with her after finishing university, Diego proposed to her, she had accepted immediately, they had been together for almost four years and she really loved him, just like Diego did with her, they were really in love, so much so that Diego gave her a period of six months so they could plan the wedding, but a A week before the marriage he had a horrible accident that changed everyone's lives, the car exploded and Diego had not been able to get out. The pain in Luciana's heart was so unbearable that he almost died of depression, her father had to act immediately, he could not lose his only daughter.

Luciana could see the pain in her father, so she decided to get out of that hole of depression she was in, she dedicated herself to the company, doing business, she was a cold and lonely woman, except when she was with her father and grandfather, With them she smiled and she did it genuinely, she tried to be her usual self when she was with her loved ones, but they knew that nothing was the same, her eyes had lost that shine.

He got up from his huge bed and looked at the beautiful view that his apartment gave him, all of New York was at his feet, he sighed so deeply as he remembered what had happened with Diego, he turned his head towards the nightstand, there was a beautiful photo of both of them together, in fact it was the only thing she kept of Diego were the photos and a shirt that she had taken from him the night before the accident, everything else she had given to his parents, when she decided to leave the house. depression.

She took off her robe and went to take a bath, today new investors arrived, her father wanted the company to expand more and the truth is that was more than good.

She decided on a white dress, with only one long sleeve, it reached a few centimeters above her knee, and at her waist she wore a white belt, she combined her shoes and bag in black. Her natural hair was brown but she had done a blonde balayage and she liked the change and it was something she really needed, her hair reached right where her breasts began, she left it loose, her makeup was simple, it only highlighted her blue eyes and her thick lips.

She looked in the mirror and she looked beautiful and professional, but with no desire to continue with life, her eyes no longer had that shine that Diego had fallen in love with.

She went down to have breakfast with her father who, like her, was already ready.

—How did you wake up princess? You look very beautiful today — Luciana smiled.

—Okay dad, thanks, how are you? —Her father suffered from a heart condition and had suffered a relapse a few days ago.

—Well, honey, it was nothing—her daughter looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

—What was it nothing? Are you crazy? — the man smiled when he heard her.

—Eat breakfast, honey, today is a great day, I like when many new investors arrive at the company, especially when they are like Santiago O'Brien — Luciana had heard of that man, but she simply did not know him in person and it was not like she she put it to the people around her. —He is a man of integrity, loyal, as well as a great worker and an excellent father.

—I don't think he's as excellent a father as you. Are you sure you want to return to the company? I can take care of everything, you know. —Ronald took his daughter's hand.

—I know that you are very capable, my dear, you are the best, but I am fine, and you also know that when there are new investors my duty is to be there. — Luciana smiled, her father was never going to change.

-OK. I will go in my car, will you go with me or with the driver?

—I have some things to do first, honey, so I won't be able to go with you.

—Dad, I really want you to take care of yourself, otherwise I'll talk to grandpa. —Ronald laughed when he heard his daughter say.

—Luci, honey, I'm going to be fine, you'll see, besides I'm not a child for you to accuse me of your grandfather.

"No, but as if you were," Luciana said amused, when they finished eating, she went to brush her teeth and then left for the company, her father had already left, that man always did the same thing, he almost ran to leave the house before her. As soon as she got into her car, Irina, her best friend called her.

"Hello, good morning," was what she said when she answered, but from the tone of her friend, something was not right.

-What good do they have? — Luciana frowned when she heard it.

-What's happening? — Luciana heard her friend snort on the other side.

—Luci, are you really my best friend? — The named she was surprised by her friend's question.

—Irina, I'm not understanding you.

—It happens that yesterday I tried to communicate with you all day, we had a visit to the vineyard —she reminded him annoyed—You are my best friend and the only one, but I need if you are going to be with me in the preparations for my wedding, otherwise I will accept the help From Saul's sister, my sister-in-law would be delighted to participate in her brother's wedding. — Luciana closed her eyes upon hearing the hurt tone of her friend, she did not want to disappoint her, she had said it well, she was her best friend and her only one.

—I'm so sorry Irina, I swear that yesterday I didn't have the correct agenda, and I had a very busy day in the office and outside of it and not only that, I had forgotten my cell phone at home and my beloved secretary wasn't there yesterday, already that my dad needed her here at home. Did we miss the date at the vineyard? — Irina sighed on the other side.

—I rescheduled it for tomorrow at four. Do you think you can be there?

—I promise you that I will be there, I am not going to let you down, I will also be the godmother, I will help you make your day more than perfect. Has Saúl already chosen the godfather?

—Yes, yes best friend, he is an incredible man, I hope you can get along when you meet. — Luciana twisted her lips when she heard the tone of her friend, she was always matching her with someone.

—We'll see, I'll leave you now, since today there will be new investors in the company. So I have to be on time for the meeting.

—Okay, go, I love you, take care of yourself.

"I love you too, see you," Luciana said before hanging up and immediately leaving for the company. She had arrived a few minutes before the meeting, and when she was in the hallway that went to the meeting room she heard crying, which was He was surprised, he followed the sound and found a small girl, beautiful, with black hair and waves, her eyes were brown and she had a beautiful mole near her nose on the left side of her face that was under her secretary's desk.

—Hello, what are you doing here? — the girl looked at her with her eyes full of tears.

—I'm looking for a mom, would you like to be mine? — Luciana opened her eyes very wide when she heard the girl, that must have been a joke. "My real mother abandoned me," she said in a sweet voice, "and I think now my father will." The girl's eyes began to shed many more tears when she mentioned her father and that caused Luciana a lot of tenderness and sadness at the same time. . Without knowing why, she sat next to the girl, she didn't care about dirtying her white dress and she barely fit under her desk.

—Why would her father leave such a pretty girl? She—she didn't want to mention anything about her mother, other than that she was a four or three year old girl.

—Because he is the most handsome dad there is and many women are after him and some of them may leave me. I'm only good for getting in the way — Luciana's heart wrinkled when she heard the girl.

—Has your daddy told you that? — the girl shook her head.

—No, the woman who takes care of me said it, she says that one day she will be my daddy's wife and he is not going to love me anymore. — Luciana frowned when she heard the girl and just when she was thinking of answering a thick and affectionate voice was heard behind her desk.

—Emi, honey, where are you? —The concern was also noticeable.

—I think your father is worried—Santiago heard the soft voice of a woman and followed her until he reached just under the desk in front of him, who found his little daughter next to the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, both of them were in a kind of trance while they did not stop seeing each other's eyes.
