The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 65

Gerard takes Luz to the beautiful part of Central Park, the one where you can walk without having to look at your back, he takes her by the hand and they laugh while they think of a beautiful surprise for the princess’s birthday, which will be in two weeks. .

They arrive at a part where people usually sit down to do something entertaining, they seek the shade of a tree and there Gerard hugs Luz, because the time has come to talk about that night.

-My love, go at your own pace, if you feel like you want to stop or leave here, you just have to say so.

-Thanks… – he looks at his hands for a few seconds and then fixes his eyes straight ahead -. That night Rafael left me on the second floor of that place, because it is assumed that the attendees would be more entertained with the girls of the place-he smiles ironically-.

” He assigned me with three boys, Tony, Sean and Rickon … – that last name leaves his lips almost in a whisper and then he opens his eyes -. It was him… – he looks at Gerard with desperation -. He … I went to the room where the things were to distribute among the guests and I sat down for a few minutes, I wasn’t tired, I just needed to stop for a bit.

“Rickon offered me a drink… after that I went out to serve the attendees and I started to feel bad. I wanted… I wanted to go back to the living room or find Tony to take me to Rafael, I don’t know. I just I remember that he told me he would take me to a secret place, I asked him to take me to Rafael, but he refused…

Luz covers her face with her hands and lets more tears come out of her, Gerard kisses her hair, only to not go out at that moment to look for that bastard and beat him to death.

-He told me that I was too much of a woman for so little of a man… I swear I wanted to scream, run away, but my body didn’t respond as I wanted. He opened a door and ushered me in, promising to come

back for me later.

“But someone beat him to it… there was a man there, he caught me in his arms and then… then he dumped me on a couch, where he pulled my clothes off me and then… – buries himself in Gerard’s neck , who has a tense body, because he remembers that part -, I was nervous that night, so I walked around the room. The door opened and he just wanted to end that torture that he had in his pants and that covered his entire body.

She vividly remembers that as soon as her hands touched that small, frail body, she went into a state of frenzy that went beyond the stimulant Dan had given her.

“Can you remember anything about the man who attacked you?” – he asks with a lump in his throat -.

-No – Luz moves away and looks him in the eyes -. That night we all wore masks, the room was dimly lit, so I don’t know what color the man’s eyes were or what color his skin was. I just remember… I remember he smelled like wood and the mask of him.

“It was black, adorned with gold threads, I know that because the light made them shine a little – he takes a deep breath and looks at something far away again -. I remember that he realized something, got scared and quickly dressed me. Then that’s why he left there, I suppose he was fleeing because of what he had done, there I took advantage of escaping.

“Tony me encontró y me llevó con Rafael, quien no preguntó nada, solo me sacó de allí. No tuve que decirle nada, él solo se dio cuenta. Iba a volver para buscar al tipo, pero le pedí que no hiciera nada. No lo dejé me llevara a un hospital, ni a la policía. Esa noche me escondí en su departamento, renuncié a

mi empleo en si agencia y terminé aquí, con ustedes.

-¿Por qué no quisiste poner la denuncia?Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

– Porque tenía vergüenza, porque no quería revivir esa noche una y otra vez. Preferí dejarlo todo atrás, olvidar y seguir adelante. Pero no contaba con que esa noche tendría consecuencias – baja sus manos a su vientre y sonríe -. Al principio lo veía como algo malo, pero ahora creo que es la manera en que el universo quiere que vea lo bueno de todo eso.

-¿Lo bueno? ¿Crees que lo que te pasó fue bueno? – le pregunta Gerard, que quiere correr y lanzarsed e un edificio. Desde esa noche creyó que podría ayudar a su víctima, y habría sido fácil si no hubiese terminado enamorado de ella -,

-Eso… fue horrible. Pero me obligó a salir de mi zona de confort, a tomar otras decisiones para mi vida y esas me llevaron a ti – ella le acaricia el rostro y sonríe -. Me llevó a estar con mi pequeña princesa y pronto tendré un hijo.

– Tendremos un hijo – le corrige Gerard -. Es tan tuyo como mío y te juro que por ustedes tres haré lo que sea para que vivan tranquilos… Luz, perdóname – le dice él en un susurro y la besa con la imperiosa necesidad de que así sea un día, cuando ella sepa la verdad –

– Tú no hiciste nada, mi amor… no tengo nada que perdonarte.

– Sí… yo debí darme cuenta, cuando llegaste te veías alegre, pero tus ojos mostraban la tristeza que cargabas.

– Pero ya no, ¿verdad? Tú y la princesa me han dado tanto amor, que ya no siento ese dolor con el que llegué a su vida. Por eso te amo, porque me salvaste, porque sé que podrías romper las malditas leyes del universo, con tal de verme feliz… porque eres un celoso – se sienta a horcajadas sobre él y lo besa -. Te amo por ser tú, Gerard Finnick, un abogado despiadado y un hombre amoroso.

She kisses him again, while Gerard wraps his arms around her waist. A moan escapes from Luz when she feels that characteristic hardness of her, she pulls away from him and smiles, while Gerard blushes,

that little girl makes him feel like a teenager…behave like a teenager. -I’m sorry, I shouldn’t get like this, less after what you told me, but my body reacts to you and that position….

-We will repeat it tonight at home, I promise you – she stands up and Gerard follows her, careful to hide that bulge in his pants -. Now, can we go get something to eat? I am very hungry.

-As my queen wants.

Thus, both hand in hand, they go along the path they took to get there.

While Luz smiles more relieved of all that overwhelmed her, Gerard caresses that little box in his left pocket.
