The Dark Secret of the CEO by Sofia de Orellana

Chapter 4 6

For Luz it is not the first time that she has traveled by plane, but there was definitely a huge difference between a commercial plane, in tourist class, and the buffet jet, which even had a nice 65″ flat screen… and it was not bigger Just for space reasons.

Charlize fell asleep in her seat while she stared out the window at nothing.

Her mind was flying as high as that plane and she was only going through the nice things, like being Mrs. Finnick, raising her son with Gerard, having more children, and working with him at the buffet. Seeing Charlize grow up, fighting with Gerard because he won’t let her go out with her friends, and so many other things, but they were interrupted by the man in front of her.

-You like to fly? is all she could think to ask to break the ice.

-Not that I did it many times, but yes. It is the closest way I have to be among the clouds. If I close my eyes, I can imagine myself flying between them, with the wind touching my face.

-That sounds wonderful and terrifying, just imagining that I can fall from this height makes my hair stand on end – he shows him his bare arm and Luz runs her fingers through it, causing the man to get worse – Is there something that scares you?

– Sleep – he tells her without thinking and looks out the window again -. Nightmares… you can deal with everything in real life, but when you sleep, your dreams rule you most of the time.

“It’s true that some you can handle at will, but nightmares will always be nightmares, no matter what you do with them. – Why do you have so many nightmares? – Gerard only thinks at this moment that he could make those nightmares go away – -Because there are things in my life that are painful and nothing I do will make them less painful, for example, the rejection of my parents.

– Haven’t they called you to hear from you?

-No, I doubt they have my number or want to know about me. I am the shame of the Méndez family.

Gerard looks at Charlize and imagines that his daughter tells him that she is pregnant, that she doesn’t know who the father is. He would probably be upset, but he wouldn’t hit her, he wouldn’t insult her, much less kick her out of the house, especially since he imagines Luz by her side to tell her to calm down or she’ll sleep with the dog. 1
