Helen narrates.I opened my eyes, trying to realize where I was; I blinked several times to see the room around me, and crossed with reality, I was in my old house. Several weeks had passed since I lived with my mother again, and every morning when I woke up, I felt that feeling that I wasn't where I wanted to be, or simply wasn't with him.Every day of my life, I patiently waited for the time for him to look for me, to tell me that what he had seen was a confusion, and that he only loved me, but no matter how many days passed, and that he was looking in my mobile a message or a call, he just wasn't looking for me. That's how little by little I lost hope.I got up heavily. The last few days I had been very tired, as if I were running a marathon, plus my appetite was increasing every day.I went into the bathroom to wash up, and then went out to the kitchen. My mother had set up a small business in the house; With Arturo's liquidation, she had started selling breakfasts, natural juices
Helen narrates.After finishing my workday, I ran home. Every day she had the same routine, and even though she was exhausted, she did it with happiness. And it is that the reason for my sacrifices had the most beautiful smile in the world, and it was my great love, Dylan junior.Five years had passed, five years since the day Dylan and I parted ways. All that time I had raised my son alone, being the happiest woman and at the same time the most unfortunate woman in the world, because she had not been able to forget him for a single moment in my life. And the reason for that last part is that the millionaire was deep in my heart.Thinking about it, I touched the necklace he gave me, wishing one day to fulfill my promise and remove it from my neck; but since my heart still loved him, it was still the cross of my greatest wishes to see him again.For a long time I kept hoping to be with him again, that he would look for me to talk and that we could still be together, but everything coll
Dylan narrates.The day I returned from the trip to Ireland, I was devastated; I couldn't bear that my hopes of walking had gone to the same shit, and I couldn't look Helen in the eye either, I felt like a loser, so I went to the company to fill myself with work. I had a lot of things behind, and although I had a manager, there were things that only I could solve, and sign.As soon as I entered the building, the first thing I did was contact the manager, so I met him in one of the offices.“Mr. Dylan, I have some news for you that I don't think you'll like very much.” I looked at him curious."What is it about Cesar? You already have me on tenterhooks" I asked him, really worried about his face.“I was reviewing the company's account statements and there is an embezzlement of ten million dollars.”If I had been standing at that moment, I would have fallen from the shock. It was an exceptionally hefty sum of money.“And do you know who the person was who took that amount without my aut
Dylan narrates.Four long years had passed without Helen, four years where day by day he had tried to forget her; but for me damn luck I had not succeeded. The chestnut had gotten into the depths of my being, making her remember her every minute.I knew that she had graduated as a nurse, and that she was working for a recognized agency. All of this had been told to me by a private investigator that she had hired, besides, I also learned that she had a son. It hurt my soul to know that she had made her life, but with whom? She always asked me the same thing. He had sent his boyfriend to investigate, and the jerk had gone to a town in Texas, so doubts began to come to my head. Why, if they loved each other so much, didn't she go with him? Why did they separate? I didn't understand shit, and I didn't want to force myself to understand either.I also found out that he worked overtime in a lunch shop with his mother, so I kept questioning myself, what about all the money he had stolen from
Helen narrates.As soon as I got off the transport, my legs were shaking like jelly, and my hands were sweating profusely. I arranged my uniform and went to the trellis; it was always open. For a moment I thought about turning back, running away without looking back, but I knew that would be my immediate dismissal, and I couldn't afford to lose my job, so I took a breath and kept walking.Everything was identical as he had left it, at least the front; I walked some more trying to control my breathing and rang the doorbell.Not even a minute passed, when my dear Margarita appeared behind her, with that serious face that characterized her but that was only a camouflage, because she was the sweetest person in the world."Good morning" I said as soon as he opened the door, with a pleasant smile. It had been so long without seeing her that it made me hug her.She looked up and without realizing who it was, she greeted me.“Hello, are you the boss's new nurse?" I nodded her head looking her
Dylan narrates.I kept detailing each of his features. His hazel eyes looked at me curiously, her skin glowing telling me how smooth he was. Her silhouette was so exquisitely shapely that it seemed unreal to me. I couldn't believe that he was seeing her, that after so many years she was close to me. For an instant I thought of throwing myself against her, hugging her; but that feeling only lasted for an instant, because her deception came to my mind shortly after, carrying with it the most bitter of memories of her."Go ahead, ma'am" I said dismissively, pretending that I couldn't remember her name to annoy her, because I knew that would irritate her.He looked down. She was nervous, I could tell, so at that moment my ego grew, letting me know that something was wrong with her, and that it was impossible that she could lie to me about it.“If you don't say your name, I won't know what to call you, miss.He looked up and glared at me. She could feel the sharp eyes of hers boring into m
Helen narrates.I had talked to my boss to change my patient, but apparently, I was at my ex-husband's house most days, so there was no remedy; I had to continue seeing Dylan every day of my life, or I would lose my job, and I definitely couldn't do that. My little Dylan went to soccer practices on weekends, and he had to pay that monthly fee, in addition to his school, which, although it was public, asked for a lot of money to repair it.I went to bed tired, after leaving my beautiful angel in her room. I touched my necklace, which I always covered with my nurse shirt, and closed my eyes imagining Dylan. Having him so close again caused me so many feelings that I didn't know how to describe it."And Amanda? And Marina? Where were they?” I wondered when I remembered them.They had been so hypocritical that I was sure they were together, but the curiosity to know if that woman was still with Dylan ate at me. That long day I hadn't had a chance to talk to Margarita, because Dylan accept
Dylan narrates.I couldn't contain myself and kissed Helen. I kissed her with the deepest of her desires. Feeling her hot lips next to mine awakened all my senses; I grabbed her hips as hard as if my life had depended on them. He definitely loved her, and everything he felt for her hadn't disappeared, he was more alive than ever, trying to get out of her and explore the feeling of her love. When I released hers from her lips and looked directly into her eyes, those sweet and tender eyes that wreaked havoc on me, I could visualize the diamond pearl necklace that belonged to my mother, she was still wearing it. And she remembered what I told her that day I gave it to her."If your heart still loves me, don't take it away, Helen." I had that phrase engraved in my memory, and that is why I was incredibly surprised, to the point of feeling that an electric current settled in my belly, and went up to my throat, causing an immense desire to cry.“Do you still have it, Helen? Does that mean…
