Chapter 3

The sun had barely risen when Jack got up. He knew the day would be decisive, and he could not fail. After getting ready quickly, he mounted his horse and rode toward the town, his thoughts fixed on the contract that would change everything in his life.

When he arrived at the lawyer’s office, Jack found Clayton already waiting, with Charlotte by his side. She looked even paler and more nervous, her eyes avoiding his.

“Good morning, Jack,” said Clayton, trying to sound relaxed, but the

    Chapter 44 The bus driver braked sharply after the collision and turned on the hazard lights, pulling over onto the shoulder to allow the flow of cars. He tried to calm most of the passengers; some were talking nonstop, some women were screaming in fear, and some children were crying. He quickly got off the bus, doing his duty as a driver, grabbing the cones to signal the lane and prevent another accident. Meanwhile, some tense passengers stepped out to breathe the fresh night air and calm themselves. He placed the cones at a reasonable distance and then ran toward the fire from the car that had exploded. He sighed deeply because he knew it was impossible to help the driver of the vehicle, who was already dead by that point. With his hand on his chest and eyes closed, he said a short prayer for the occupant or occupants of the car. "May God forgive all their sins and welcome them with all His divine love..." He stopped his prayer when he heard a shrill scream from one of the bus

    Chapter 43Clayton got his car, which had been parked in the square for a week. He got in and drove toward the Houston farm.When he arrived home, all he wanted was to take a shower. He had never gone so long without washing. He felt dirty, not just physically, but spiritually as well. Transporting a car full of drugs from one country to another had made him reflect more deeply on his life. If he had been caught, he would have been in serious trouble.Sighing, he stripped off his clothes and went to wash away as much of his guilt as he could. What devastated him the most was knowing that Marcus had said this was only the first of many trips until his debt was paid.***As soon as Julieta realized Amanda was fine, she let Jack go rest. Julieta gave Amanda a hostile look after her boss left the room."I already understand what you're doing. But you won't win. The love between the bosses is solid. Impenetrable! Faking a faint was the worst acting you've ever done.""I don't know what you

    Chapter 42Charlotte avoided staying inside the house during the day. After taking care of the garden, she went to help Julieta and Pedro in the kitchen. She took the opportunity to improve her culinary skills, which turned out to be an excellent decision. They talked, laughed, and worked together as a team.It was so good to be with them in the gourmet kitchen that, besides getting ahead with afternoon coffee, they also prepared more desserts than usual for lunch.Jack arrived for lunch looking very tired. His dark circles were deep. Charlotte noticed how exhausted her husband was."Hi, love," Jack said, trying to force a smile."Hi, darling. You look exhausted. Did you manage to sort everything out?""Yes, but there’s still a lot to do."They sat down at the table to eat. Amanda appeared, stroking her belly and talking nonstop, completely unaware of Jack’s tiredness and Charlotte’s tension."Hello, Jack! You have no idea how much the baby has been moving today," Amanda said, smiling

    Chapter 41Charlotte went to the bedroom where her husband was. He was heading into the bathroom to take a shower, and his eyes showed deep dark circles. He had been awake for more than 24 hours and needed to rest, but with Amanda in the house, Charlotte couldn’t think straight. Amanda had always been a thorn in her side, and now, with this new situation, she didn’t even want to think about what her life would be like."Jack?""Hi, love. I’m just going to take a shower to wake up and then go to work.""I’d like to know how it went at the doctor’s."Jack quickly explained about the pain Amanda was feeling, that he had to leave in a hurry, that the doctor said not to leave her alone for now, and that he had found alcohol in her blood."I forgot to tell you that she and her friend were buying drinks at the market. I even thought it might be for her friend too, but on the other hand, I couldn’t believe she would do that with the baby," she said, worried."I’m so sorry, my love. We need to

    Chapter 40Charlotte arrived home feeling somewhat tired but relieved that her father hadn’t done anything worse to her this time. Of course, her mental state was shaken by the pressure of giving her husband a child. It was what she wanted most, but as Julieta had said, it was still too early to worry. She believed her chances might be better next month.She tried her best not to think about Amanda, but it was difficult, knowing the other woman was carrying Jack’s child. If Charlotte got pregnant soon, their children would be only a few months apart. It felt like a cruel twist of fate.Lost in thought, she went up to the bedroom. Feeling exhausted, she decided to take a bath. She undressed, glancing at the clock on the bedside table. It was four in the afternoon, so she could take a long, relaxing shower before her husband returned from the fields.She stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the hot water cascade over her body. She hoped it would wash away not only

    Chapter 39Charlotte felt the air leave her lungs the moment she saw her father. All the events of her life with him flashed through her mind like lightning. She swallowed hard, fighting back the tears that rose to her eyes, but tried not to show her terror.Julieta became alert as soon as she saw Mr. Houston. She glanced around, looking for someone familiar nearby in case they needed help.He approached until he was standing directly in front of her. He studied his daughter’s weary face before asking:“Are you sick? You look so worn out.”“It’s nothing,” she murmured.“Are you pregnant?” he asked curiously.She felt uncomfortable with the question, especially because she knew she wasn’t. That morning she had woken up with a terrible headache just minutes before her period arrived. She felt frustrated for not having gotten pregnant in the first few weeks of marriage.“No.”“Hmm… Does Jack know you still haven’t gotten pregnant?”“No, not yet. I need to go,” she said, trying to move aw
