The Dark Secret of the CEO by Sofia de Orellana

Chapter 84

 The days have passed and Luz has felt comfortable with Rafael’s mother.

Although their relationship is not very good, the woman has taken pains to care for Luz with all the love she deserves.

After that walk around the bay, Rafael did not take sides with his friend or with Gerard, because he understands that the situation is more complex than it seems. Just wanting to walk away and that’s it is not enough.

Luz is expecting his son, there is also little Charlize, who was seeing in Luz a mother, finally a maternal image that was giving her the love she deserves.

But there is also the fact that she is in love with Gerard and, despite the fact that he made a terrible mistake, he loves her madly.

For Rafael, there are missing pieces. He didn’t know Gerard personally, but what he always heard from him in his mother’s aristocratic circle was that he was a proper man. He did not like lies and nothing escapes him.

He is convinced that the man had compelling reasons for acting as he did.

Can we go to the movies today? -Luz’s question takes him out of her musings and he smiles at her–Of course I do, my girl. Any movie in particular? No, I just want to have fun.

They walk to the exit, hugging each other and laughing. Rafael helps her get into the car and leaves a kiss on her forehead, walks around the car and they get out of it towards the movies.

Perhaps being always with Rafael has helped her cope with those days, has forced her to put aside everything that happened. And Kiki also has a lot to do with it, because she, that woman, doesn’t leave her in the sun or the shade when she’s at home.

They look for a place to leave the car and walk towards the Harbor East Cinema, Rafael shakes her hand, because he is afraid something will happen to her or they will push her. She is still a girl, with a baby bump of eighteen weeks.

-After the movie, we will go to eat at a restaurant that will fascinate you, it is on that street, on the other side of the roundabout.

-I think it’s perfect, but now I want a snack.

– We can buy popcorn and some chocolates.

-And soft drinks, please – she tells him in such an adorable way, that Rafael misses a kiss on the forehead and a hug -,

love you so much,

you… you know? – He looks at his hands, as if what he was going to say was wrong -. I need to call Charlize,

, I can call Gerard, ask him if you can call her, I know he won’t refuse, but it’s better that I know – Luz nods -. We can call Evangeline’s phone

-Thanks.  

when we leave here, before going to eat, we’ll go get a phone

-You’ll tell Eve, Hahahaha.

We better go

and Rafael puts his phone on silent, so no one interrupts him, it’s a

businessman, but I won’t stay calm if you don’t let me do it. The guy at the store hands him the phone set up, retrieves his old number

catches his attention, it is unknown, but he prefers to leave it for later. Leaving the store, Rafael checks his and sees that there are at least ten calls from his second at the agency, followed by about twenty messages, all with the word urgent at the beginning. He stops and marks her, because that’s not normal, although he doesn’t say much, it seems more than
