Two Months Later
Jacob's point of view
After a year of working in my mansion as a result of my pain for the betrayal of my ex-wife, I have decided to return to work from my company, I did not want to be in the house anymore that reminded me of the years lived with her, that, although I loved her and had begged her not to go with another man, She had broken my heart the moment she formalized her relationship with my cousin.
"Sir, welcome, I'm glad to have you back in the company" Neila, my secretary gave me a warm welcome, but I didn't have time for that, I had to start taking my place.
"Thank you, Neila, but everything must go on, how many interviews do we have today?" I need to fill the assistant management position right away
"We have five interviews sir, the first one is in less than an hour, I have chosen the best candidates for you" Neila smiled at me and I reciprocated, but the smile immediately faded from my lips, when the elevator doors opened and from there, two people I already knew came out.
My ex-wife and her new love, Katherine, was gorgeous, wearing a body-hugging red dress that showed off her curves, her dark wavy hair flowed down her shoulders, and her lips were so red that they would entice any man to kiss. But next to her was the damn bon vivant who damaged my home, Alan Reynolds, my uncle's youngest son, they both walked past me, she looked me up and down, her eyes were two daggers that just destroyed my heart, she didn't even greet me, she just ignored me.
"Sir, are you okay?" Neila asked me as she saw me collapse, I raised my head and sighed.
"Yes, I'm fine" without another word, I went to my office, poured a glass of wine, and sat down, trying to regain my posture; That woman wanted to finish me off, how did she throw away 6 years? A thousand crazy ideas came into my head, I wanted to get even with her, I wanted to conquer a lesser woman and pass her on her face, so that I would never see myself subjected to her feet again, but I was not going to fall in love with someone overnight and even less with someone much less, I was lost...
"Sir... The first interview has arrived—my secretary came into my office pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Neila, tell him to go on please" she nodded, meanwhile I organized my desk and my face a little, I felt terrible, when the door opened, long legs appeared; A beautiful woman in a dark suit closed the door, the world completely moved at my feet when I realized who it was, my cheeks changed color, and my hands began to tremble.
"Good morning, sir..." Yenna was also paralyzed when she saw me, unlike me, her face turned pale and she tried to turn back, but I managed to stop her.
"Go on please, it's a job interview" she went straight to my desk, her nerves were evident... For a moment the silence frightened us, but it wasn't necessary, we had to act like adults. "Yenna, it's nice to see you again
"Jacob, by the way, I begged fate a lot to put it back on my way, but don't imagine that in this way, but anyway, I have something for you that I forget the day of the crazy night
"For me?" I asked confused, she started to check her purse and took out a small paper bag and handed it to me. — I was surprised to see the content
"Your money, I'm not one of those women who charges for your services, and if it's any consolation, that night nothing happened between you and me" When he said that my head started spinning, I was confused, it was as if I wasn't myself, I was going through the worst of the embarrassments of my life.
"Yenna I'm sorry if I offended you, that wasn't my intention, I..." I just wanted to—
"Don't worry sir, now I have to go, I was coming to a job interview, but my goal changed when I saw it, I have already fulfilled what I was waiting for two months, thank you for your time" Yenna got up determined, I couldn't allow her to leave like that, I went out behind my desk and ran to the door.
"I've finished your job interview Yenna, we need to differentiate the situations," I said as I closed the office door again.
"I never imagined finding him here, you don't know how many times I sent the job application to this company, for you to be the one to interview me, this must be a joke," Yenna looked disappointed.
"Calm down, please!" What happened the other night was a misunderstanding, I had a great time, but we had no contact afterwards
"We didn't have contact because you left that place, leaving me stranded, you didn't give me your number, I don't ask mine, anyway, that doesn't matter anymore, can we start the interview?" — I noticed a little annoyance in his words.
She sat at my desk and from her suitcase she took out a folder with her resume, she didn't have much work experience, but she was in college, her profile didn't apply for any position in the company, much less for what I was needing, an assistant, but she would be the perfect woman to make my ex-wife jealous, maybe if Katherine saw me happy next to another woman, one as beautiful as Yenna, she would want to go back, with Yenna we had already had contact and although she had denied the intimacy between the two, I was sure that she had already been mine.
I don't know how long I stared at her, imagining the amount of things my ex-wife would feel when she saw me next to Yenna, it could be a contract, one where she would benefit, if she was applying for the position of assistant, I could pay her much more than she was going to earn, just for pretending to be my fake girlfriend.
"Is something wrong, Mr. Reynolds?" Yenna asked me out of my thoughts
"Yenna, I have to talk to you," I blurted out without hesitation
"Talk?" About what Lord? "He treated me with such indifference and respect, as if what happened between the two of us had no value.
"Your profile doesn't apply to be my assistant, but I have a job offer, it's not like telling you, with a much better salary..."
Yenna looked at me completely confused, pulled down the skirt of her suit and cleared her throat.
"Oh, yes?" And what is it about, sir? He asked suspiciously
"I want you to be my lying move, before society I want you to pretend that you are dating me, that we make a contract and in exchange for that I will be your suggardaddy, I will give you everything you ask for, I will please your every whim, and I will pay you ten times what you were going to earn as an assistant" what an imbecile proposal I was making, he hadn't even made a previous contract, let alone knew Yenna's whims.
The woman stood up and looked at me indignantly, suddenly I felt a strong slap on my cheek, I barely squeezed my eyes shut due to the pain.
"You're confusing me, I know we didn't know each other in the best way Jacob, but I'm not the woman you think, I have principles and values, I've never wanted a man to support me and much less pay me, you're daring
I grabbed her arm preventing her from leaving the office, I broke down in tears, and she stared at me even more confused, I couldn't hide what I was feeling thanks to my ex-wife.
"Listen to me, please," I pleaded, as if it were a matter of life and death, while she let out a huge laugh as she saw me faint.
"Jacob, you're crying again, the day you and I met we didn't do anything, we didn't sleep, we didn't have sex, we just kissed, but you started crying remembering your ex-wife, and finally we fell asleep, why are you asking me this?" Try to calm down, please.
"Yenna, I can't lie to you, I want to summarize my life a little, after having been in control of everything, I lost what I loved the most and I want her to return to my side, maybe if I make her jealous she will decide to come back, please, you are the perfect woman, we will make a contract" desperation was making me touch the deepest of funds, Yenna's face was a poem.
"Jacob, I can't, I'm so sorry, I can't play this, excuse me, but if I'm sure that any young lady would be happy to be your sugar baby, I can't do it, especially when I know the purpose of your proposal.
I raised my head, took a handkerchief out of my pocket, and wiped away my tears, he looked like an idiot, a man of my profile collapsed by the love of a woman, which was unbelievable.
"Don't give me the answer now, I'll send you all the information about the contract I'm proposing to your email in the next few hours, you have 3 days to analyze it, if you accept, you'll come back with me, shall you?"
"Okay, but I'm telling you again, no! "Yenna left my office, I don't know exactly what I had done, but I needed her to accept my proposal, Katherine wouldn't see me finished again, and I had to be who I was again, a haughty and powerful man, full of life, heartbreak wouldn't end with me, I canceled the next two interviews and delegated that role to someone I trusted, I took my laptop, and started to draw up the contract for Yenna, she had to be mine.
JacobMy eyes lit up at the sight of the big diamond in the ring I bought for Yenna to officially ask her to be my wife, finally after how long.My son was about to be born, and the last days were full of peace and harmony in my home, but above all full of much love, I confess that she still has nightmares at night, in which she remembers the time she suffered because of my mother, and I feel bad when I have to comfort her in my arms to be able to control her crying, It depresses me to see her so sad at times, but she started therapy with a good psychiatrist, all in the hope that she can get out of that dark void she is sometimes in.My mother was finally committed to a mental hospital, her brain completely failed and she was declared schizophrenic, from time to time I go to visit her, although it is in vain, because she doesn't even recognize me, it is quite painful to see her confined there.Fortunately, my business is going from strength to strength, but of the great company that
YennaI don't know how many days have passed since I left that gloomy place where my mother-in-law kept me, but if there is something wonderful in this world, it is knowing that Jacob has always been here for me, I am now more recovered and at least I can fend for myself, I can walk, something I could not do alone.I caressed my bulging belly and smiled, when I arrived at the hospital, I had no idea of the surprise I carried inside my being, I was pregnant again, it was complete madness! But it just happened because of some oversight, plus Jacob made love to me every day without protection. A washing machines.I packed the few belongings I had in the hospital, put my hair in a ponytail and sighed, I would return home with my two loves, Jacob was the love of my life, I couldn't ask heaven for a better companion than him and it is that, to tell the truth, his love was so pure and pleasurable, that even I myself was impressed by his persistence and the desire not to let me die in the at
JacobA shadow was at the end of the attic, my heart wanted to go, a tear rolled down my cheek when I realized that that little lump that was lying there on that cold floor, was my Yenna.I approached her slowly, and I wanted to die when I touched her, she wasn't cold like she was supposed to, she was still warm, I got close to her nose, and I wanted to faint when I noticed that she was still breathing, with too much difficulty, but she did.I lifted her in my arms and lifted her body to the entrance of the attic, everything at that moment was clouded for me, I felt as if I was living in another reality."Jacob, be careful, let me help you!" "I could barely hear Julius's voice, I was in complete shock, at what point had my poor wife ended up there?"I absorbed Yenna's scent, and she was perfect, maybe it was some animal that was decomposed in the attic, and not her corpse, I had endless mixed feelings, on the one hand, it was too much happiness for having finally found her, but on the
JACOBI went to where Rudy was, I took her arms and looked at her with hatred, I squeezed them so hard, I had never wanted to hurt someone and even less a woman, but she was already driving me crazy."You're hurting me!" Rudy squealed as he tried to wriggle free."If you don't tell me where Yenna is, I swear..." I looked at her defiantly ---------------"Do you swear to me that Jacob?" Are you going to kill me and go to jail? What an idiot you are! "Rudy, he slipped out of my grasp sharplyAs stupid as I was, what she was telling me was completely true, the only thing I would achieve by hurting her, would be to go to jail as if I were a criminal and I was very far from it, so I regained my composure and looked at her again:"What do you want, Rudy?" money? Tell me, how much do you want to tell me where she is?"Now, if we're getting along, my dear Jacob, you know that's what I really want, well, I want two million, I must get out of the country, or your mother is going to kill me."Ev
JacobMy mother kept pointing at me, as if I was her worst enemy, her gaze only showed me hatred, pure resentment, and that really hurt me."Mother, forgive me for any harm I caused you, I swear it was unintentional," I said to try to persuade her, but really her anger was more powerful than what I could tell her."Jacob, don't lie to me, you're an idiot, my name is on the floor thanks to you, you've only gotten useless women, who are good for nothing, look what happened to Katherine, and now to Yenna."Mom, I already told you I'm sorry, I'm sorry for everything I've caused you, now, if you consider yourself entitled to end my life just as you ended my fathers without compassion and I suppose Yenna's, do it, but rest assured that you're going to pay for everything." I know. "At that moment I was just talking resignedly, that was true, there was nothing to be done."Your words don't interest me Jacob, you're just a talker," my mother was about to shoot when I suddenly heard voices behi
Jacob The next few days were darker than the previous ones, I didn't have the psychological faculty to get out of the depression I was in, and to that was added what was happening with Katherine, it would be very stupid of me to say that I wasn't affected by her situation, that wasn't true, it was affecting me too much, Not because I still loved her, I just felt that it was very difficult to be in her situation, so alone and abandoned when her life was hanging by a thread.Luckily for me, I had Estrella, she was everything a human being needed to be able to live."Do you know, my child? If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead," I said to my little girl as I gave her porridge"Pa! Pa! —was what my little girl answered me, at least it made me smile, I was about to finish her meal, when suddenly my phone rang, it was an unknown number, I answered the call full of eagerness, I had never lost hope of hearing an explanation from Yenna."Hello?""Mr. Reynolds?" A woman's voice was asking for me
