Mag-log inShe only wanted to save her marriage. He wanted to forget he had ever believed in love. Myriam Bennett had it all: a successful husband, a comfortable life, and a future that seemed perfect. The only thing missing was a child… but what for her was a dream, for her husband was nothing more than an obligation. After several failed treatments, she received the cruelest proposal of all — to conceive a baby with another man, at any cost. Gerald Lennox is cold, solitary, and completely devoted to his work. After a painful betrayal, he locked his heart away. But one night, his best friend drags him into a reckless game… and a bet leads him to share a bed with a woman he doesn’t know and never intends to see again. What neither of them imagines is that this encounter will change their lives forever. When fate brings them together once more, the truth threatens to explode. Can love blossom between two people bound by a lie? Or will the past condemn them to lose everything? An intense story of second chances, forbidden secrets, and a love that was never meant to be.

The place where the couple would unite their lives had been decorated with white silk drapes and matching flowers. From early morning, the organizers had been putting the final touches in place.Anne walked to Gerald’s room and knocked on the door.“Who is it?” he asked, still half-asleep, his arms wrapped tightly around his future wife’s body.“I came for the bride—you can’t see her before the wedding,” Anne replied from the other side of the door. “Can I come in? Are you two dressed, lovebirds?” she added with a laugh.Myriam rubbed her eyes, blinking drowsily, and then suddenly sat up with a start.“The wedding! Tony!” she exclaimed, jumping to her feet.Gerald’s eyes traveled over her body, biting his lip.“Are you going out like that?” he asked playfully.She realized she was still naked and instinctively covered herself with the sh
Myriam slid down from the dresser with overflowing sensuality and moved toward the bed. Her green eyes gleamed with a fire that set everything in its path ablaze.Gerald’s gaze locked onto that body of perfect curves, lingering on her voluptuous breasts and generous hips that disarmed him completely. He drew in a deep breath, fighting against the instinct to pounce on her like a beast in heat.“You’re perfect,” he whispered in a husky voice.Myriam smiled at his words. Slowly, provocatively, she straddled him, her lips finding Gerald’s in a burning kiss. Though she still wore clothes, she could feel the firm press of his erection beneath his pants against her damp sex.She rubbed her hips against Gerald’s length, savoring his growls and the ragged breaths he couldn’t control. Her lips traveled along his neck, drinking in that intoxicating cedar scent of his masculinity.When she began to undress him, Gerald sat up decisively and stripped off his own clothes.Myriam’s lips parted into
Gerald took a sip of wine and, for the first time, found no answer. He frowned.“I don’t know what I ever saw in her,” he confessed honestly. “I’ve known her since we were kids; her father was my father’s right-hand man. Bianca was a sweet little girl, and I enjoyed her company.” He sighed. “Over time, Isis began working at the company and seduced my father. My grandfather, who was a wise man, told me not to judge Bianca for her sister’s mistakes, so I kept seeing her. We went to the movies, clubs, restaurants… we had fun.” He looked her straight in the eyes. “One day I asked her to be my girlfriend, and she turned me down. I thought it was because she didn’t want to ruin our friendship, but it wasn’t that.” He drank another sip of wine. “She left me for an older man with more money. She disappointed me. I think, just like you, I clung to an illusion. I confused love with something that was never real. After that, I decided never to have a stable relationship again; most of the women
When the melody ended, Elsa and Myriam applauded.“Our turn,” Elsa declared, took a sip of tequila, and requested a song.The notes of A quién le importa by Thalía began to play through the speakers. Elsa grabbed the microphone, pulled Myriam along to dance with her, and they both began to sing the song together.They swayed their hips, moving with sensual rhythm. Gerald sipped his tequila, never taking his eyes off Myriam. A smile spread across his face as he listened to her sing.“I hope you never change,” he whispered.When Elsa finished her performance, Myriam—now with two more drinks in her—gathered her courage and requested her own song: De mí enamórate by Daniela Romo.She moved slowly, seductively, in front of her boyfriend. She bit her lips and began to sing with her sweet, melodious voice.Gerald’s heart trembled as he listened. The lyrics consumed him entirely as he gazed at her, entranced.Myriam’s eyes glistened. A pang struck her chest as she thought he might leave once
Myriam cleared her throat.“Mrs. Helena, I know you’ve been given a poor opinion of me, but I believe everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt,” she said, meeting the lady’s bluish gaze. “I know very well I’m not the right woman for your son. However, I am the mother of your grandson, and that wi
Gerald took a sip of coffee.“Well, at least you’re aware it’s madness,” he smirked. “I never thought I’d see you married,” he mocked his friend.At that moment, one of the company trucks pulled into the parking lot, and several dockworkers unloaded Myriam’s boxes, while she and her friend Elsa got
“Mrs. Helena!” Anne exclaimed breathlessly as she entered the lady’s room.“What is it?” Helena asked, frowning.Anne drew in a deep breath. “Mr. Gerald is at his house with a woman… and a baby. He looks exactly like him,” she declared.“What?” Helena narrowed her eyes, unable to believe it. “Help
Kevin walked into Gerald’s office and found him eating some grapes Myriam had brought him.“I can’t believe this!” he exclaimed. “The almighty Mr. Lennox, eating in his office.” He teased. “I see Myriam is working miracles.”Gerald blinked and let out a sharp breath.“What do you mean?” he asked.K
