The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 85

It’s been a couple of days since Rafael left and he hasn’t called her. 1

Despite that, he understands that he must have found himself with too many earrings, all because he was taking care of her. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

She is sitting in the garden, stroking her nearly nineteen-week-old belly and looking at her phone. For all the rush of his departure, Rafael didn’t manage to ask Gerard if he could talk to Charlize and he misses her so much.

Suddenly, an idea occurs to him, he searches for a number on the internet and dials it immediately. A boy’s voice answers her kindly and she remembers Johny.

-Finnick & Abbot, good morning.

-Good morning, I am looking for Mr. Abbot, if you would be so kind as to communicate with him.

-From who?

-He doesn’t know me, but tell him I ‘m Miguel Méndez’s daughter. -Give me a moment, you could be in a meeting – Luz smiles, because that could well be to filter 1st call. A couple of minutes later, Johny returns to the phone – Miss Mendez?

-Here I am.

-Mr. Abbot will attend to you immediately – I change the line and Luz hears Dan’s agitated voice –

– Light, thank heaven. Tell me, are you OK?

– Perfectly – he says dryly -, but I don’t call to socialize. I need you to ask Gerard if I can call Charlize through Evangeline.

-Light… you don’t need to ask that, you have no idea what the little princess needs to know that you’re okay.

-She is fine?

-The truth is that no, it has been very sad. We don’t know what to do… sorry, I don’t want to worry you. I guess between my friend and I we can solve it.

“Dan, what did they tell you about me?” From all of this? – Luz stands up with some difficulty and begins to walk in circles –

– The truth, as far as a six-year-old girl can hear. That you had an argument and you decided to leave for a few days – Luz’s chest tightens and the tears begin to flow silently – Gerard is trying to do everything possible to cheer her up, but he doesn’t get much, because he itself is very bad.

“I don’t want to hear from him, Dan,” she tells him, trying to hide how much it affects her to know about the two of them. This is my phone, just tell me if I can call and get me Evangeline’s number, so I can call your phone.

-Light…

-Make it very clear that I will only talk to her. -Okay, give me a few minutes and I’ll do what you ask.

Me at

Luz ends the call and drops onto a concrete bench in front of the mansion’s enormous fountain. She starts to cry, because she hurts him.

A part of her wants to go back, hug her girl, kiss her, apologize for leaving her alone, but the other…

What the hell, he can lie to everyone, but not to her.

The other part wants to go and hug Gerard and kiss him, tell him that I forgive him. But she is proud and the recurring images in her nightmares bring that night back to her over and over again. Those two things prevent him from returning to New York with her love.

-Oh, my love, your mom is a very stubborn woman, but I’m so afraid that everything will be worse and that your daddy and I won’t have a single chance to get back together.

The phone indicates that messages are coming in, seeing that they are from Dan saying that he can call Charlize without problems, he saves his number, thanks him and calls Evangeline.

– Light, my friend…

-Eve, sorry for everything, I haven’t called you, I’m a terrible friend.

-Okay, not that I have much time to talk or to socialize. Here I am attending to two zombies, I am between cook and nanny, of the lord and of the princess.

-You are with her?

– I ‘m on my way to her room, I hope she’s awake. She does nothing but sleep and watch television.

– And him?

-Bad – is all he says and Luz feels a knot in her stomach -, We had to call a doctor five days ago, he is lying in bed, connected to a line that keeps him hydrated.

A gasp escapes from Luz, but she can’t move, her body doesn’t react. She hears a door open and Evangeline whispering to Charlize, suddenly she hears a little scream from her princess and a rather wet smile comes out from her tears.

-Little light? – The girl’s fearful voice makes her look to the sky to seek strength and that her voice does not sound sad-

-Princess! How are you my girl?

– Good…

– Safe?

-Well, I’m very sad, because you left and left me, you left my daddy and you took my little brother.

“Forgive me,” he says with trembling lips. But I promise you that soon I will come to see you.

-Just to see me? Wo n’t you come live with me like before?

– Princess, I … I don’t know. but, I want you to remember this, I love you with all my heart – she pouts and covers her face with her free hand -. I swear I haven’t stopped thinking about you, very soon I’ll go see you, okay?

-Okay, I’ll be waiting for you and my little brother. I love you so much.

-Promise me that you will take care of yourself and that you will eat healthy.

-Sí, no quiero estar enferma cuando vengas – oye algo de ánimo en la pequeña y sabe que debe cumplir esa promesa lo antes posible – -De acuerdo, ahora dame con Evangeline, por favor. -Te quiero, Lucecita – le dice antes de entregar el teléfono -.

-Eve, quiero hablar con él.

-¿Con el señor? Bueno, déjame ver si está disponible. Miles de mariposas se revuelven en el estómago de Luz, hasta una sonrisa de nerviosismo se le escapa. Escucha algunos golpes y luego oye a

Evangeline hablar con Gerard. -Señor, disculpe que lo moleste, pero… Luz está al teléfono y quiere hablar con usted. “-Pero yo no, dile que la próxima vez que crucemos palabra será… cuando tenga que ser.

-¿Luz?

-Está bien. No pasa nada, gracias Eve, te llamaré más tarde, para saber de Charlize.

-Of course, take care, see you. When she ends the call, Luz feels immense pain. Because Gerard’s words weren’t out of anger or annoyance, but out of sheer deep pain. ” And what did you want? You said very hurtful words to him and then left without listening.” But now there is nothing left to do to fix everything that happened, it only remains to look ahead and try to do things better.

How will you get it? He doesn’t have the slightest idea, but now he himself doesn’t want to think of answers, he just wants to hear from the people he loves, so he calls Matías. Maybe he’ll help her a little to decide what she has to do.
