The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 78

Meanwhile , in the mansion, George is in charge of removing the guests, after James and Dan managed to take Gerard to his room.

Once in bed, staring at the ceiling, Gerard asks, his voice cracking.

– My … my daughter – he says too stunned by the pain -,

-He was in the garden, with Matías and Evangeline, he didn’t hear or see anything – answers Dan –

-But he’s going to ask about his Little Light.

-I’ll take care of her, don’t worry – Dan says –

-James, security for her.

-Okay, I’ll order it immediately so they can locate it – he says while texting at the speed of light -, and I ‘ll put two…

-Six, that woman is carrying my son in her womb – James stays with those beautiful little eyes wide open -. Yes, Luz is pregnant and that baby is mine. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

-Ok, say no more. She’s already there – she tells him looking at him with a smile and shakes his hand. Now I’m leaving, but call me if you need anything, you know I’m here for you.

-Thanks.

The two leave the room, while Gerard feels that the whole world is spinning, he runs to the bathroom where he expels from his body everything he had and more. He gets up and goes to the sink, takes his toothbrush, he can’t help but see Luz’s, all his stuff…

If even the bed smells of her and he can’t stop thinking that he should have told her the truth from the first moment, but if he did, he ran the risk of losing her before time.

Before finding all that.

She goes back to bed just as Dan walks in.

-Luz’s family is downstairs, but I don’t know what to tell her.

or not

– Nothing to the parents, but tell Matías to come up.

-You’re going to say?

-Yes.

-Gerard, you can screw up the whole investigation, wouldn’t it be better…

-Tell him to come up! – He yells at him and Dan recognizes the pain he saw in his friend years ago, but this time he will not let him die in life, especially now with two children-

-It’s fine.

A few minutes later, Matías goes upstairs and frowns when he sees Gerard sitting in the chair that Luz used to occupy to read her favorite books. He is dressed in casual clothes, red eyes and staring into the silence of the night, he needs to finish getting that dark secret out once and for all.

Gerard ? – Matías tells him worried – What happened? Where is my sister? -She left… she left me and I don’t blame her – even her voice is lost somewhere in the world, wherever she is.

was –

-Gerard, what did you do to my sister? – Matías approaches and is only a few steps away from the chair.

-Before I tell you that, I want you to help Dan. There is something… big that we are doing, it is already in the hands of the prosecutor, but we are missing a small detail.

“And apparently, you have something to do with Alpha – Matías opens his eyes, because nobody is supposed to know who the girl is –

– I don’t know what you’re talking about – he says recovering from the surprise -.

-You know. She works undercover, right? Matías doesn’t say anything, but Gerard knows that he discovered her. It’s not the first time I’ve seen her, so you shouldn’t hide her position from me. She is an important part and for sure she will need help, if you can… do it. -You have my word.

-Now, when that investigation is over, you’ll have to do something for me, that’s why it’s important that you do what I’m telling you. It can’t be before, but it will be one day, very soon. -I understand.

-When Alpha finishes collecting that information, you will come for me, you will put the handcuffs on me – Gerard stands up, his face bathed in tears and finally looks at Matías -.And you will take me under arrest, under the charge of rape.

-What? – Matías asks, because he can’t understand this – -I was… I was the unhappy one who left her… Matías, I looked for her to pay for my crime and, without knowing it, I fell in love with her – she laughs and cries at once -. Just so you can see how pvto destiny can be. -You’re telling me…? -she approaches and takes him by the shirt, but not with force, because he feels that pain that is invading both Gerard and his little sister – Are you telling me that you were the one who abused my sister?

-Yes, and jail will not be enough for me, your contempt… not even the fact that you hit me to pay for my crime, but I think my broken heart is a start.

Matías raises his fist, but doesn’t hit him. He lets go of him roughly, leaving him reeling. He storms out the door, because that’s not the only bad thing he’s heard about tonight. -Matías, keep in touch with Dan… – he nods and Gerard sighs -. And he takes care of my daughter.

Matías leaves there, goes down the stairs and sees Evangeline trying to go upstairs with Charlize in her arms, because she has fallen asleep. He rushes over to them, grabs the little girl, and Evangeline steps forward to open the bedroom door.

He is amazed at the girl’s room, it is that of a princess. Evangeline moves her covers to lay her down, Matías leaves her with her head resting on the pillow and a kiss on her forehead.

He leaves there thinking that difficult times are ahead, but now he has three important people to protect.
