Alexander's POV I sat in a dark room in my apartment. I couldn't look at my bed without remembering the incredible night I had with Catherine, feeling despair take over me knowing it had all been a huge lie. How could she do this to me? I was consumed by the pain of that woman's betrayal.Since that party years ago, the day my parents died, I hadn't gotten involved with anyone, saying I wouldn't fall in love after being abandoned by that woman. But then I let Catherine into my life so quickly. Actually, I didn't let her in, she simply arrived and occupied all the space. And she was the snake that struck and completely destroyed me.I was in heaven today and suddenly got dragged to hell. When the hacker called saying that only Patrick, Mari, and I should go because he already knew where the information had leaked from, I couldn't imagine it had been her, the woman I was falling in love with.When I read those emails, I felt like I'd been run over by a steamroller. The first one I could

I feel completely lost, not knowing what to do. Mel left early, insisted on taking Peter to daycare, and Lygia insisted on spending the day with me. I thought it was great, she's a wonderful person who gave me lots of advice and told me that no hardship lasts forever.Mel left in the morning and told me not to do anything, saying she would talk to her father and we would decide what to do tonight. But I was uncomfortable with this, I was already imposing too much on the Larsons.Lygia and I had lunch together, and she told me about her children and grandchildren, none of whom lived in Paradise Port - they all lived too far away for her to see them every week. She told me how happy she was to be able to take care of Peter.In the afternoon, she went to the market and said she would pick up Peter afterward, telling me to rest, but I took the opportunity to call my parents. I was going to tell them what had happened and that I would be coming home.The intercom rang, and the doorman infor

Alexander's POVYesterday, I came to work with a terrible hangover and wasn't in the mood for anything. Mariana, Alan, Patrick, and Rick spent the day defending Catherine, saying they couldn't believe she would send those emails and betray me like that. They reprimanded me for not listening to her and were now waiting for the audit results to see what they would uncover.Mariana had gone to the finance department to get the documents that were supposedly being verified. When she got there, Joseph called me, outraged, spewing nonsense in my ears, but I was too tired to care. I just told him to hand everything over to Mariana if he didn't want to lose his job.Mariana collected the documents and took them to the auditors. I told Alan it was pointless since the documents were there and Joseph handed them over, Celeste hadn't leaked the information. Alan warned me that since he already had copies of everything, it would be best to compare them, and he would tell me today if everything matc

"Miss Vergara, Mr. Martin wants you to come to his office immediately," my new boss said, appearing at my cubicle. "You can go up now. Have you finished that list I gave you?"I looked at that short, stocky man with his round tortoiseshell glasses and smiled. He was quite a character, but he was very kind and would hum all day long in the office.I had been assigned to the commercial department, where the entire floor was open with cubicles arranged in groups of four. The only enclosed office belonged to my boss. It was a busy and colorful environment, filled with noise - everyone was talking all the time, either on the phone or to each other. I found it so relaxed and interesting that I thought I would adapt well here. I had even made a friend already, but now with Mr. Martin calling, I worried he might have changed his mind about hiring me.I looked up and handed some folders to my boss, confirming:"Yes, Mr. Maurice, everything is organized here with reports. Would you like me to ex

I was exhausted. The week had been chaotic, and I wasn't sleeping well, crying myself to sleep every night. Having talked to Alexander yesterday hadn't helped either; it had left me even more devastated."Good morning, friend! How are you?" Mel walked into the kitchen and held my face between her hands, examining me."I'm a wreck, Mel. The makeup is just hiding the dark circles. I'm feeling so tired!"We heard the intercom ring, and Mel went to answer it while I finished giving Peter his breakfast. I was distracted watching my little one; he was my greatest love, and just looking at him calmed my heart. I knew I would have the strength to move forward because of him. He looked at me with a beautiful big smile and those bright violet eyes, and my heart swelled with love."You're mommy's love, young man!" I said to him, and he clapped his hands and blew me a kiss. My smile grew wider."Cat, it's for you." Mel came from the door holding an enormous arrangement of red tulips.They were bea
