The Ceo’s proposal

I really wanted to know what had happened with the two of them, my mother didn’t come home after the argument we had with Mr. Lucio, Eros tried to communicate with Lucio but he doesn’t seem to want to answer my husband’s calls either, I was worried about mom so I decided that I would give her a visit to our old home.

-Where is my beautiful wife planning to go? -Eros kisses me when he comes out of the bathroom -Are you not going to invite me?

-Mmm… no. -I give him a chaste kiss goodbye -Because someone has to stay with our daughter. Remember Stacy is on vacation and Lupe… wanted to spend more time with her daughter.

It was sad that Lupe quit, although I can be sure that was just an excuse for her daughter not to come back to this house since it had become such a nuisance that she used her mother to step foot in this house. All the times she has come supposedly to visit her mother, she never paid attention to him and instead kept hanging around the house and too close to Eros but he always kept her away from him and our daughter. That is why Mrs. Lupe said she would better go back to the mansion on the island.

-I won’t be long, I just want to see how mom is doing.

-Be careful.

Rupert would accompany me in a less conspicuous car, it was not a delay to arrive at my old house, I was surprised that the gate was open, so I entered with stealth to be cautious, it is strange that there is so much silence, I stopped when I heard my mother talking to someone in the garden.

-You should have looked for me, Maria… you realize. I lost twenty years of my daughter’s life, I don’t know anything about her, other than she is married and has a daughter…. God… that means I’m… grandfather.

-Welcome to the grandparents club. -Besides, it’s not my fault, if you had trusted me, this would never have happened, but you preferred to believe in what your parents told you about me… anyway, there’s no point in talking about it anymore. Go to the point, what are you doing here?

-It’s not obvious… I want to make up for lost time.

-Listen, Bianca has always made her own decisions, so…

-Yeah, I guess it’s going to be weird -Smile nervously -She’s just like you, you know.

-What are you talking about? -said mom unimportantly

-Beautiful, understanding and somewhat protective of the ones she loves.

-It’s something we women have by instinct, besides, although I never told her that, but she’s more like you than me, she’s too stubborn, obstinate when she gets angry… she can hurt anyone with her words, I even think she already shows the arrogance that you have.

I couldn’t help laughing while a tear escaped me, Lucio also thought it was funny what she said and added that she never changed, she still has that sense of humor that characterizes her.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

-What about us?

-There is no us, -Mom said -If you want to win Bianca’s love, I don’t mind, I think she will need it… in the future.

-What do you mean by that?

-Don’t listen to me. The fact is that there is no us anymore so don’t waste your time with me, love is a thing of the past for me, the only thing that matters to me is to see my daughter and granddaughter grow up.

my heart starts to break because it’s not true, I can see it in his eyes that he’s lying. He doesn’t want to tell her the truth and it’s unfair because she spent her whole life alone taking care of me, she deserves to be happy and have someone take care of her, it’s not fair to do this to her.

-Don’t you love me?

My mother seemed uneasy.

-No.

I couldn’t stand her hurting herself anymore.

-Stop lying, mom. -She looks at me telling me to stay out of it but I wasn’t going to obey her -We know what really happened, I know you well and I know that you still don’t stop loving… Lucio. -Lucio greets me but I interrupt him -My mom… is sick, she says she’s going to die.

-What? -He turns pale. “Is that true, More mio?

My mother looks into his eyes, a couple of tears fall as she lowers her face and nods, he hugs her bewildered because he didn’t expect this, she looks at me and asks me why I did it, she didn’t want to die feeling the guilt that she didn’t have one more chance in love when she had already given up on it.

-Listen to me. You are not going to die.

Mr. Lucio takes my mother by the hand and takes her out of the house, she struggles, but he ignores her and tells her that right now they would go to the best hospital so they could give her a diagnosis and have a better chance of survival. I ran to the car where I arrived and told Rupert to follow him, on the way I called Eros that I would go to the central park hospital for mom.

After hours of evaluation the doctor told mom that it was in time for her to have chemotherapy, my mom was puzzled as the doctor at the hospital she goes to recurrently told her that she only had a short time to live.

-I don’t know what kind of quack that is, but here you can see the results, in the meantime we can start making appointments and see if surgery is likely.

I hug my mom because I knew she couldn’t go away and leave me alone when our family was growing, I wanted her to enjoy the new opportunity we have in living a different life. But right now I would see to it that that doctor who cheated her would pay for what he did, he cheated her by making her believe that she was going to die, if that happened the cancer would become deadly and she would really die.

-Daughter!

The hospital was an hour away from where we were. Without permission I entered the doctor’s office, apparently he had a patient who was very sick at first sight.

-Hello doctor. -I think you and I have a lot to talk about.
