Chapter 92
The Dark Secret of the CEO
Itâs Friday, but since Charlize has missed so many days of school, Luz mobilized the whole house early to take her to class.
-I canât go from Monday, Lucecita?
-No, honey, from today. Youâve missed a lot of classes and there are things I canât teach you at home â
You see Gerard appear and make a puppy face at him â Daddy?
-Luz already said no, honey.
âI donât like you guys now,â she says, crossing her arms.
-We love you â Luz tells her, bending down to look at her at her-her level. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)And we want the best for you. One day, you will be the prettiest and smartest lawyer. Wherever you go, everyone will be silent because of your beauty, but they will not be able to speak because of your intelligence.
-I just want to make one dumb, but he insists that Iâm small-she says with a pout and Gerard jumps-1 -Letâs have breakfast, before I have an attack â the girls laugh at him for a moment and then they eat â
Very soon Charlize gets over her anger and by the time Luz leaves the house with her, she is already jumping happily because she is going to school. Upon arriving at the place, the two say goodbye with a tight hug, the kind that stays all day.
Luz stays at the entrance, shaking her hand, while there is a person there who is watching her movements and writing down the girlâs routine.
She returns to the car and tells Gerard that it will take a while, without telling him where she is going and asks him to keep insisting that they let her in to see Rafael.
George takes her to the bridal shop where she made an appointment earlier, as they need to re-measure her dress to fit her belly.
She stares at the mirror, thinking that she should do this with someone next time.
When they finish taking the measurements, he sits in one of the comfortable armchairs and calls his mother, MatÃas told her that they donât know anything about the reasons why he left that night, that they have no idea about Gerard and all the mess of their lives.
Her mother replies somewhat tiredly, assumes that she is busy with some house, but stops to talk to her anyway.
see us -Light, daughter⦠how are you? did you come back? When can we see each other? how is my grandson? â (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Calm down mom, weâre fine, Iâm back and Iâm with Gerard, Iâm calling to let you know that weâll get married in two weeks.
Oh, my love, thatâs good news⦠c-can we go with your father?
-Of course, mom, thatâs why Iâm inviting you. And to ask you to help me with some wedding preparations⦠like the dress for example.
-Of course I do, my girl. You just tell me when and I ask for permission at work, they owe me several days.
.-Thanks Mom.
â Luz⦠you are a magnificent daughter, with a huge heart. I hope Gerard knows how lucky he is to marry you.
-Iâm sure he knows, mom.
For everything that man has done, it is obvious that he knows who he is marrying. Not everyone would forgive what he did to him, but he was in charge of erasing all that evil with kisses, caresses, beating up the unhappy Rickon, putting one of the capos of the New York mafia and himself in jail.
She says goodbye to her mother, promising to tell her when the next ultrasound will be and thus find out if it will be a boy or a beautiful woman, because in the last one he didnât show himself.
Then she goes to the florist to see the arrangements and the flowers she wants for his wedding day.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) He barely has two hours away from home, but for Gerard he is taking forever, so he calls her, drawing a smile from Luz.
â What are you doing, beautiful wife, that takes so long to get to me?
-First of all, Iâm not your wife yet. And secondly, you should be in the office, we agreed that today we would all go back to the routine.
-But my routine is to be with you. -Okay, when I finish seeing the arrangements for the wedding Iâll go⦠-

-Youâre wrong â he whispers in his ear with a deep voice and surrounding his belly with his strong hands-
Everything that means spending time with you, I love it.
âYou scared me,â she turns to look into his amused eyes and she canât help but smile too. If you donât mind going for the invitations, the gifts, the table linenâ¦
-Whatever, wherever. I go with you.
So the day was spent choosing the invitations, marking the gifts, choosing the color of the linens, where Gerard was adamantly opposed to white. -I donât understand why you object in such a way â Luz says almost desperately -.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) -Tell me something about her-he stands in front of her with the expression that he should answer yes or yes-, will your dress be white?
