Chapter 3

• "Are you feeling well, Lena?" asks Sebastian, who was taking care of her for the rest of the afternoon.
• "Just... I'm shocked by the news.
• "Congratulations Lena, I must admit that I didn't expect this, I guess the father of your child will be happy" he speaks with a big smile, but inside he is hurt.
• "My children don't need a father, they have me and I think that's enough.
• Sebastian had to hide his surprise so as not to make Lena uncomfortable.
• "Lena, who were you arguing with?" he asked intrigued, since now the important thing is Lena's well-being, and the alterations are not favorable for her.
• Lena swallows thickly, she was going to tell him, when nurse Natalia arrives.
• "Lena!" I'm so worried about you! You must go home and take a break!
• Sebastian was going to offer to take Lena home, after all, she was the woman he loved, but Natalia claimed that it was not convenient because he was a man, and ended up taking Lena home, a few blocks away, near the hospital.
• "So, it's true that you're pregnant?"
• Lena nodded.
• "Congratulations, I'm happy for you, let me help you, I don't understand how you fall."
• "The sick CEO's mother came to my office, argued with me and pushed me, that's all.
• "Damn witch, my worst fears keep happening, why didn't you call the police, for God's sake I should have gone to the security office and asked for your office's surveillance video.
• "Forget it, she only came to my office to vent her concerns, she definitely won't come back to me after that, let her go to my boss.
• "Do your parents know?"
• "It's better that they don't know.
• "Lena, who are you?" Aren't you going to tell your parents when they hurt you? We're not teenagers who have gotten into trouble; this is life and you should let them know.
• "They don't support me; they even want me to abort the baby.
• "My God, but how could this happen, you put yourself under so much pressure.
• "I myself chose to follow this path, I don't complain about anyone, Natalia, and you don't have to pity me, I'll manage on my own.
• After Lena left Natalia in her building, she goes to her apartment.
• She just wanted to get there and be able to rest and think well about her life, but her parents are there again, and Lena saw the surprise in their eyes, she left work too soon.
• "Why have you come back so soon?" I suspect you haven't gone to work and secretly went back to the fertility center without telling us!
• "Good afternoon mother," she greets Full of bad mood, she had just arrived home and her mother had an attitude that made her feel uncomfortable inside and pretended not to hear her as she greeted her as usual.
• Suddenly she felt a wave of nausea, as if stomach acids were reaching her mouth and she went to the bathroom covering her mouth to prevent it from coming out.
• A hand knocked on the door, Lena's mother quickly followed, put her ear to the bathroom door and eavesdropped.
• He heard the faucet opening.
• Lena, vomited all the little she had eaten today, it made her feel a little weak.
• "Lena, open the door!"
• Lena's mother knocks on the door non-stop, venting her anger, until Lena could no longer bear those blows that the only thing she was causing was a severe headache. She hurriedly washed her mouth with water and wiped it with her hand.
• He opens the door and is met with his mother's chilling gaze.
• "Are you vomiting in there, are you pregnant?" Are you pregnant? Have you really gone to the fertility center without telling us again? Disobedient daughter!
• "Can you please stop reproaching me like that, I remind you that I am your daughter, but you seem like my enemy, and yes, I am pregnant and very proud of it," Lena informs, and her father upon hearing those confessions, immediately approaches.
• "You've gone crazy!" No man is going to want to marry you after you have this!" her father scolds her, "raising a child is very difficult, now and worst of all, without a father.
• "What!?" Llena is shocked, how can her father ask her for something so cruel?"
• "It's the best!" Your father has got a suitor for you, and your son is only going to get in the way," says Mrs. Maxwell, gesturing with her hands in disgust.
• Lena smiles with bitterness, and feels pain in her heart, but now her feelings do not matter so much, but that her children are okay, she continues to try to stay calm, she knows that a strong alteration would affect her pregnancy.
• "My children, because they are twins and you know what mother, the best thing is for them to leave, all you do is torment and hurt me.
• "How dare you talk to me like that?" Mrs. Maxwell slaps Lena's angelic face, "You can't raise two children!" Reduce one, so I can take care of it for you.
• Lena shakes her head as tears roll down her cheek, fixing her gaze on her mother.
• "How... How can you be so cold?" If you had been asked to abort me, would you have done it?" asked Lena in her choked voice.
• "We are your parents, and we do everything for your good," Mr. Maxwell interjects.
• "For my sake or for you!?" Respond!! Lena growled, "Am I also a hindrance in their lives!?" " "He shouts those words furiously."
• "Unthankful!" We're thinking of you, I'd better go, I can't tolerate your disobedience," Mrs. Maxwell walks to the shelf and grabs her bag.
• Lena's father looks at her once again with displeasure and leaves without saying a word, leaving Lena with a shattered heart.
• [...]
• Cristopher Di Monti, had returned home, although he is sick and in pain, he cannot for anything in the world lower his guard and even less when his cousins Marcos and Richards Di Monti want to be in charge.
• But he, like a general manager, dedicated to his work, will continue to work, since he had been informed by his assistant that his cousins were prowling around the company to know Cristhofer's weakness and hit him over the head.
• But it is not that easy, Di Monti is astute, and he does not intend to let himself win the battle, now he is in his office.
• He is tired, he cannot maintain his composure as such, but still, it is his duty to maintain his position.
• They knock on the door of his office.
• "Go ahead," he ordered while still concentrating on his laptop reviewing the files that his personal assistant sent him for decision-making in the new business contracts.
• Gutiérrez enters agitated, he has had to work hard, he is loyal to his boss, he does what he asks of him, and he loves his job.
• "Chief, it's a pleasure to see you again.
• "Gutiérrez takes a seat," Cristhofer orders in a tired voice, even though his dark circles are noticeable as a sign of his exhaustion, since due to his illness he must work twice as hard.
• "Thank you sir.
• "What happened to the researcher?" asks Di Monti, still looking at his laptop.
• "Sir, you haven't given me an answer yet, but don't worry, you've been investigating for a short time.
• "I'm sure someone wants to see me dead.
• "What if they're your cousins?"
• "If that's the case, I need concrete evidence, Gutierrez, I can't blame without evidence, although I want to sink both of them, they think that because I'm not in good condition, I'm going to let myself take away what I've worked so hard, not like them, they're damn good-for-nothing.
• "You're the right boss, you have my full support, besides, it's complicated to be the CEO, everyone wants what you have, and the culprit can be anyone, just like you, I don't believe that you have lost your brakes just like that sir.
• —I'm doing this research in silence, so you can't tell it Gutierrez, another thing that has me fed up, is not having an answer from Dr. Maxwell, I just wanted to show my gratitude to the person who saved my life, but to my surprise my mother went and harassed this lady and now she refuses to see me, My good intentions have been totally misinterpreted, I need you to do the following.
