Cover: bk.designereditorial Illustration: cr_bannerss Chapter 1 - Daddy, wait! I turned around seeing my little one coming down the stairs in her uniform, I bent down to hug her, I was intoxicated by the sweet smell of her baby perfume and the smell of shampoo coming from her wet hair. - Good morning, daughter. - I don't want to go to school today. - Why? - I'm sick. - Where does it hurt? - I asked, putting my hand to her forehead, feeling her temperature. - All over her body. - Maybe I know what it is. - said Ivy, my sister, coming back from the kitchen with an apple in her hand. - Auntie, I'm sick. - Does this boo-boo start at the head and go all the way down to the feet? - Yes. - Sure. I have the diagnosis, it's called LAZINESS! Ivy ran after her to the car, the best sound was the laughter of my princess, a 5-year-old princess, very smart and who doesn't like going to school. - Thank you for taking her another day. - Miguel, my niece will never be a bother, but you need to hire someone, I won't be able to do this every day. - I know,
I know, I'll do it soon. - Every day you say the same thing. - I've been very busy, but I'll find time for it. - Forget it. I'll hire someone, leave it to me, focus on your work. - Ivy! - I know how to do it, just trust me. - Okay. I kissed her on the cheek and waved to Ayra as they left. After my separation, I got custody of my daughter, her mother didn't care since she had no feelings for her. It's strange, I know, but not everyone is ready to be parents.
I met Úrsula at an event, my parents introduced us and within a few months we started dating. Ursula got pregnant after a year of dating, we decided to get engaged and get married before my belly got bigger, that's when we lost the rhythm and rushed everything. Our relationship was good until then, when the change came with the pregnancy, Ursula started to hate having our daughter, we fought a lot and it wore us out. Besides, she is an actress and lost some roles because she was pregnant, all of this only fueled the disgust of having our daughter. Before Ayra was one month old, Úrsula went on a 20-day trip and only told us when she was in Mexico, leaving me alone in Seattle with our daughter. Those were the worst days of my life, because Ayra depended on breast milk and we didn't have a drop at home or where to get it from. She lost weight, cried from hunger, got pneumonia... On one hand, it was my fault, I didn't know how to take care of my own daughter and I did everything wrong. Even with my family around, it was difficult and almost impossible.
But Ayra was fine. And, at the same time that I blamed and hated myself, I swore to take care of her and be a good father. The day before Úrsula returned, I received a letter from her lawyer and the divorce papers. She didn't want that life, she wasn't looking for a family or a marriage, she wanted to live and do soap operas, we weren't in her plans. I thought it would be harder, but with her absence and abandonment, I thought a lot about us, especially about Ayra's future. There was no other way out, only divorce.
After all, you can't miss someone you've never had around completely. - Sir, we're here. Like every morning, I stood admiring the building I had built. I am the CEO of the largest engineering company in Seattle, a long story for another time. I entered the company accompanied by my security guards, greeted my employees and got into the elevator accompanied by my personal assistant. - Sir, you will have a meeting in an hour with all the shareholders. - Where are the reports I requested? - On your desk. - Okay. Anything else? - Your grandfather wants to see you at lunch. The clients from Barcelona will come at 2:00 p.m., everything is ready for the presentation. - What are you not telling me?
- I asked, seeing her restless, holding the tablet. - Your cousin. - What did he do this time? - He wants to cut ties with MAConstrutora. - What? I was outraged by Edgar's decision, he can't make this decision like that. I went to my office thinking about what I had heard from Lorena, it seemed like a lie, but coming from Edgar, I could expect anything. - Excuse me, sir. - What is it now, Lorena? - Your mother sent word that she will be back in three days and wants to meet you at your house. - What did you say? - She said that you have a trip planned and will be out of the country. But, as always, she didn't believe me. - Okay. Leave it as it is. I prepared myself for the meeting, analyzed the dossier that was on my desk, and when I got up from my chair to go to the meeting room, my grandfather came into my office like a hurricane. - What's this mess, can you explain it to me? - he asked, upset, throwing a tablet on my desk. I looked at the screen, watching the news of the separation of the two companies.
- I was also taken by surprise, grandpa. - Lorena looked at me from the door apologetically, I told her to leave and greeted my grandfather. - What happened between you two? - Nothing. But it's no secret that Edgar wants to lead alone and cut all ties with MAConstrutora. - You're the one who should be sitting in that chair, you're the one who should be leading that company. - Let's not talk about this again, I don't want to fight with you. - You don't want to fight? I want to fight. Why do you have to be so stubborn? - she grumbled, walking around the room, breathing fire through her nose. - Grandpa, I have a meeting now, can we solve this later? Thank you! - I said, leaving the room with that excuse. - I'm not finished yet, Miguel Armani! - she shouted. Lorena came towards me nervously. - Sir, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold your grandfather. - No one can do this except my grandmother. Is everyone in the room? - Yes, they're waiting for you. - Go into my room and get the file, I forgot it on the table. If I go in, I won't leave anymore. - Yes, sir. - Oh... good luck. I went to the elevator, before it closed, I saw Lorena take a deep breath before entering my room. That was funny. Before entering the meeting room, I heard my cell phone ring, it was Ivy calling me. "I'm about to enter the meeting room, be quick." "Answer yes or no. Private party tonight, can I confirm your name?" "No." "Miguel, I guarantee it will be fun. You need to have some fun." "No. Was that all?" "I'll put your name on the list. I know you'll change your mind."
I hung up when she finished speaking, but I couldn't disagree. I really needed a good party to relax. I entered the meeting room and found everyone waiting for me. Lorena came in next and left the dossier on the table. "Good morning, gentlemen. You must have already heard about Edgar's announcement. We no longer have any ties to his company. I was also taken by surprise. It was a decision he made, and I don't care about the reasons for it. I propose we continue with our work and continue making a profit." "I don't think your grandparents will accept it," said Erick, a shareholder in my company. "This is their business alone. It's not like I can force him to do anything." "Let's
