The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 41

They arrive at the mansion laughing at Charlize’s anecdotes during the day, at this new school she has more friends and that gives Gerard a great deal of pleasure, because he looks happier.

– Daddy, do you think I can have a sleepover someday?

-Sure princess. It’s just a thing that before that we have a party or an afternoon at the movies, to meet the parents.

-Can we do it in the garden?

– Of course yes.

The girl begins to jump with happiness, until, of course, the witch that nobody wants appears.

-Will you have a garden party with small children? Doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.

– Princess, what do you think if we go to the kitchen to eat something?

-I see that the lady appeared, recently arrived and causing problems – the girl from the service arrives and Luz winks at her to take her away -. I find it overconfident that you do something like that.

-Darcy, I think you are going too far in many things, I remind you that you are not the mistress of the house. Since you came here you have been given love and respect, but I don’t see you giving either.

“I can’t believe you’re bringing that up in my face!”

-I’m not taking anything in your face! But I will leave you with a clear warning, if you mess with my daughter or Luz again, you are going to have to leave here.

Luz felt sorry for that twisted woman, because it was clear that she had no one else in the world and now she was about to lose everything just for being hateful. But if she wanted it that way, no one could do anything for her.

-You’re changing me, I’ve given it up for you, for a newcomer – suddenly Luz begins to feel bad, which doesn’t go unnoticed by Gerard who takes her by the hand and tells her to take a seat -. It even seems that they were boyfriends!

“And what would it matter to you if that were true?” Gerard stands up intimidatingly, making Darcy take a couple of steps back. If I have a girlfriend, if I fall in love with whoever she is, that’s my business. Nobody is going to interfere in my life.

But the memory of…

– Margaret was the most loving woman, if I could have said goodbye to her I’m sure she would have required me to look for someone who loved Charlize and me. So don’t ever mention her again to make me feel bad.

-Gerard… I don’t feel well, I think…

Luz runs to the guest bathroom and expels everything she had eaten so far. Gerard arrives with her, grabs her hair so it doesn’t bother him, and gently caresses her back. Darcy, despite the disgust that the scene causes him, stops there to continue bothering.

-Don’t tell me that the lady is pregnant, is that the example you will give to your daughter?

-I warned you – is all he says, he closes the door and takes care of helping Luz — Are you better now?

Yes, my nerves got the better of me. Sorry to be a source of conflict.

– You are only the reason for conflict between my heart and my brain, because one wants to kiss you and the other wants to give you time.

Luz rinses her mouth and walks out, but seeing Darcy standing there wanting more. -So the lady arrived with a complete package. What a shame…

-¿Vergüenza? ¿Por qué debería sentir vergüenza por estar embarazada? Si no sabe nada de mí, no tiene derecho a juzgarme… muy mala abogada debe ser para emitir juicios de las personas sin sus antecedentes. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Solo eso es necesario para que Luz dé por terminada la discusión y vaya con Charlize, mientras que Gerard se interpone en el camino de Darcy para que no vaya tras la chica.

-iżOíste lo que me dijo?!

-Claramente… y le encuentro toda la razón – Darcy retrocede como si le hubiesen dado una bofetada -. Por eso y por todo lo demás, te exijo que te vayas ahora de esta casa. Tanto mi hija como Luz necesitan estar tranquilas y tú solo las pones nerviosas.

-¡Me estás corriendo de la casa de mi tía!

-No, esta casa es mía, mi abuelo me la heredó a mí, no a ella. Tienes una hora para irte o te mando a sacar.

The woman is stunned, wanting to kill Luz and tie up Gerard until she realizes that she is the woman she should have chosen, she was never Margaret and obviously she is not Luz.

She runs upstairs frustrated, thinking of a way to get rid of the poor dead fly that is stealing her place in the house. She enters her room with a slam of the door, looks for a suitcase.

-I should have shown more love to the brat, maybe that’s how I would have convinced him, but loving a girl who isn’t mine is not my thing.

“You didn’t even want yours,” his conscience tells him and he lets out a snort full of hate and rage.

But he would find something to get even with, and much better, he would find a way to get this intruder out of the house.
