I tried to contact Pilar, but she did not answer my calls.I think our relationship as sisters will be terribly affected, I felt my heart ache, although my relationship with her was not good, I adore my sister.I had a lot of work, I was trying to concentrate, but Javier's visit had affected me more than I had thought."Clau, it's time to eat, we need to rest a little," Eva said. “By the way, what was Javier looking for you for?""Eva, you can't imagine, he's an idiot," I sighed.I told her in a nutshell what happened, she was my best friend and confidant, we had no secrets between us."I never liked him, but you were so in love with him that I simply respected your decision to be his girlfriend. Thank life that he got him out of your way and now you're with Alessandro, I really like him, I can tell he cares about you.""Good thing I was able to open my eyes and realize he's a jerk, now I'm just worried about Pilar.""Sorry to say these words, but he deserves it. Pilar was playing wit

Pov. Eva"Everybody out! I don't wish to see anyone at this time," shouted Alessandro."Mr. Alessandro, please listen to me, I'm sure this is a trap, we have to go get Claudia," I pleaded, desperate."Enough, Eva! Go away," he said, turning his back on me. "Well, I'm sure Claudia is in grave danger, but I'm going to go get her, if you want to believe in fake news that's your problem, but I know my friend. I'm leaving, bye," I shouted, leaving in annoyance. I ran out of the company, I needed help, but I didn't know where to turn.I was running so fast, I didn'tI didn't notice a car coming towards me, the car slammed on the brakes and I fell."The car slammed on the brakes and I fell. What a scare, why don't you watch where you're going?""Mr. Alexis Lombardi, is that you?""Yes, have we met," he looked at me puzzled."No, I'm just an employee of the company, I'm just surprised to see you, you hardly ever visit the company," I said with a shy smile. "Well, it's true what you say, bu

I let go of Eva's grip and left the Lombardi mansion. To my good fortune, a cab was passing by. I took the vehicle and drove off and I turned back and saw how Alessandro was running behind the car without stopping. He looked desperate and worried, but I didn't want to talk to him right now. "Miss, do you want me to stop the car," asked the driver."No."The cab headed towards my house, I had no money to pay him, but just at that moment I noticed someone outside my house."Javier, what are you doing here?""Claudia, why are you crying?""I'll explain later, could you lend me some money to pay for the cab? As soon as I can, I'll pay you back.""Don't worry, I'll pay the driver right away."I sat down on a bench, my life these last few months was a disaster, although it was partly my fault for being so naïve."Tell me, what happened, Claudia," he said, approaching me. "I guess it's only logical, my wedding is off, that's all," I expressed bitterly. "Tell me what are you doing here in m

Pov. AlexisEva looked quite pleased to meet me, her smile was beautiful and her eyes had a peculiar twinkle in them, probably because the plans were working out as expected."I hope Claudia doesn't get too mad at me," she said as she approached, grimacing."Relax, it was necessary to get those, your friend will thank you," I said with a smile, to reassure her."Thank you for supporting me, Alexis.""You're welcome. I was never a good cousin to Alessandro, I think it's time for a change.""Change is always good," her smile widened. "I'll say goodbye, you know you can count on my friendship.""Thank you, Eva, likewise you now have a new friend," I said, not very convinced.I didn't understand why I felt this way about her, it was strange that just thinking that we would just be friends, I felt this way."She's your cousin's wife's best friend, you shouldn't get involved," attacked my conscience.I arrived at my apartment and was surprised, because Anna was waiting for me. I couldn't be

Claudia's POVI couldn't believe how in a single day everything could go to shit. What had happened in the last few hours was the perfect example of that.The horrible scenes had stuck in my mind, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. The sight of him out of his mind, Charles lying on the ground, me trying to intervene to try and separate them, Alexis getting hurt because of him. Charles being taken away in an ambulance, and finally, Alessandro being arrested by the police.Sitting in the hospital waiting room, which was completely empty after Charles had been admitted as an emergency and then seeing the marks on his neck, the guilt gnaws at me.To think that if I hadn't gotten involved with a man I barely knew in the first place, it wouldn't have come to this, because at the end of the day I was the reason for this fight.I couldn't even look him in the face after what he did, the short seconds in which I connected my gaze with his, felt the worst. Knowing that the man you love was a
