Chapter 35

P.o.v Luís Beckermann

I don't know what I'm going to do, but staying here at the company today has no chance, I need to go home, I need to think about what I'm going to do. I go to my car and follow to the house, I'm so nervous that not even noticed the way when I saw I was already entering the house and find my mother in the living room all smiles arranging their flower pots

Alê- son what are you doing home? Should not you be in the company? Today is your first day you are already leaving early

Louis - Mom, we need to talk this is not going to work

Alé- I can't believe you're running away from work. I told you, you are taking over the company, I let you for years and years do what you wanted to do, grieving for a girl I never even met...

Luis," I interrupted my mother, "Mom, she's alive, she's your ward, Mom. The woman I have been crying for years because I thought she had died is Maria Alice

Ale - HOW? have you gone crazy?

Luis - For a moment I thought so too mama, when I saw my Alice in front of me I thought I had gone crazy, but she wasn't the woman of my life. But she was so angry with me, she didn't even look like the sweet girl I fell in love with. But it's okay, I understand her. I lied to her. I didn't tell her my real name and theoretically I disappeared. I tried to explain that I was robbed and lost my phone and tried to find and tell her everything, but she wouldn't let me. She just freaked mommy

Ale - Son, not for nothing, but Alice is a married woman and has a beautiful daughter who, by the way, tomorrow is her birthday and you are going with me, remember?

Luis - I think it's better if I don't go, Alice won't want to see me and if she starts making a scandal?

Ale - She won't, I assure you, she wouldn't make a scandal in front of the media, of all the partners. Besides, her husband will be there.

Luis - So she is really married? - Sad - I found her, but have I lost her forever?

Ale - Look my son, never say forever. As far as I know they haven't been going well for some time, but I don't want my son being a lover or getting in the way of anyone's marriage. They have a daughter and I love that little girl. I don't want it to make Luna's life any more difficult than it already is.

Luis - so her daughter's name is Luna?

Al - Yes, why?

Philomène - Not at all. I just think it's a beautiful name.

Ale - yes, she said the moon brings back memories of the best day of her life, so she wanted to name her daughter after it.

Luis - smiling - how beautiful, mom will I ever have the chance to explain myself to her? Will she ever forgive me, at least be friends?

Ale - I find it difficult, son. She is hard headed, but I will try to help you, she will have to at least live with you with respect will be co-workers. You will share the presidency, she can't let that get in the way of the company.

Alphonse - you're right, Mom, who is her husband?

Al - You are really curious to know everything about her, aren't you?

John - Yes. Everything you can.

Ale - Well, you know her husband, he is Tom, that journalist cousin of Annie's ex, by the way, she works in the company too.

Luis - Tom? I know some Tom, I just don't remember where

Ale - I am talking about Annie's cousin, her ex girlfriend from school, he was the school journalist

Luis - NO! Really? I knew I knew him...

Ale - I am talking

Luis - It's not that, mom. When I met Alice, he was together, I did not remember him, I mean I had the feeling that I knew him, but I ignored it. He was accompanied by his girlfriend at the time, Kirstin, Michael's widow, mother of my godson Mateo, remember?

Ale - of course, she's a sweetheart suffered at the hand of that creep. I never thought of saying it, but it was too late. That man will not be missed. And when are Mateo and Kirstin coming to visit us?

Luis- Mateo is coming today, but Kirstin is coming in a few weeks. He's coming earlier so as not to miss class, I'll enroll him. But back to the subject he was Kirstin's boyfriend at the time and I got involved with Dulce, I saved her from some guys who tried to abuse her and it was love at first sight but for some reason the idiot here did not tell me her real name, I said my name was Alex.

Ale - now I understand her anger

Ucker - when the secretary introduced me as Luis Beckermann she simply freaked out and accused me of abandoning her but I didn't abandon her I looked for her for a long time. When I found Kirstin she gave me her address I went there and her father said she had died mommy. Her father said how could I imagine that he was lying?

Ale - a son, I don't really know what happened but her parents kicked her out of the house when they found out that she was pregnant so she came here with Tom to rebuild her life. This caused a lot of trauma for her. It made her an angry, harsh and cold person. She is like that even with Luna. She suffered post-partum depression. It was very difficult in the beginning. I hope with all my heart that you can understand each other and become friends.

Luis - me too. Good mom, now I'm going to take a shower and later on I'm going to the airport to pick up Matteo.
