- Does your child know that he came?
- Does Your Son Know You Came?
Amelia
“Tell me, how did things go with my godson?”
I look at Mrs. Dorantes with surprise. So, Franco is not just her lawyer, he’s practically family
“Well, it went really well. First of all, I was surprised that he replied to my message almost immediately, even though it was a bit late. And during the meeting, he made me feel very comfortable. I think everything will go smoothly with the divorce. I liked him.” I dont want to tell her how the handsome man spent most of the time staring at me. She might get the wrong iden
“Well, dear Not to brag, but Franco is a shark when it comes to the low. Divorces aren’t his main area of expertise, but he handles them quite well. And I had already given him your number in case you decided to reach out. Did you find him handsome?” she asks playfully
I can only open and close my mouth like a fish is the seriously trying to set me up with my lawyer? But I haven’t even divorced yet!
“Well, maybe he’s somewhat attractive Liart He’s so sexy he’s hotter than a summer sunt “But he’s not my type,” I say, trying to avoid her pushing him on me.
tell, if you don’t like him, maybe you’ll meet someone else later who catches your eye. But for now, go to your workstation. Your colleague is going crazy hahaha.
I couldn’t feel more blessed. I ended up in this place, doing what I love, with wonderful colleagues
Today, I’ve started to express my opinions more, and the best part is, they are being taken into account. Being here distracts me a lot, but I’m also curious about how my lawyer will deal with my husband. Will he try to make it difficult for us to get divorced? Please, Amelia, wake up. That man doesn’t love you anymore. I want to bang my head against the wall hoping that way I’ll understand that I’ve lost him. I decide to stop thinking about it. Soon enough, I’ll find out what Juantu Said to Franco,
Juan Luis
I’m in my office working on some new designs to present to potential clients when my secretary informs me I have a call. I decide to answer, as it seems important.
“Al your service,” I answer firmly
“Good morning, this is Franco Robles, the lawyer representing Miss Amelia Fuentes. I’d like to know if you already have legal representation for the divorce proceedings, or if I should deal with you directly”
Divorce Divorce. Divorce. The word echoes in my mind. I wish I never had to hear it, but this is my reality now.
“Yes, I’ll give you my lawyer’s contact information so you can deal directly with him. He already has the draft of what I’m willing to offer Amalia, I believe the terms are fair. but I’m open to any modifications that my ex.. Miss Fuentes would like to propose.”
“Understood I’ll be requesting your lawyer’s details shortly. Please take down my number” As he dictates, I feel a deep emptiness inside me. But I think it’s the right decision to pursue my happiness.
“Alright, we’ll stay in touch” The lawyer hangs up. I keep staring at the phone for a long time. Time. There’s so little left before my family is permanently broken apart. I rest my head on the desk, not wanting to think anymore. I no longer want to feel doubt. But the feeling inside me that I’m going to regret it is getting stronger. No, I can’t turn back now. It’s not worth it. Amelia will never forgive me.
I decide to send a message to my kids, asking them to pass it on to their mother.
“Please tell your mother not to worry, that I won’t leave her without financial support. She will get what she deserves. I love you, kids.”
I finish writing and hit send. This is harder than I thought. I open the drawer of my desk and take out the photo that once adored this place. That family will never exist agun Never.
Sofia de Peña
ry to bother you, but I urgently need to speak with you. I’ve heard my son is about to start the divorce proceedings, I say, watching the
“Good morning, attorney. I’m sorry man’s curious expression
“Please, have a seat. It’s true, Mr. Peria has given me instructions to draft the divorce agreement. I already have here a draft, approved by him, outlining what he’s offering his wife” I smile at the man
dhar, and i won’t
“Would you be so kind as to inform me what exactly he’s offering to that mediocre woman? Just thinking about her makes my blood boil, rve always hated her, let my son make the mistake of giving her anything. She doesn’t deserve a thing.
“Does your son know you’re here?” I smile sweetly at the man, I trust I won’t have to struggle too much to get what I want.
“Well, no, he doesn’t know but I want to be informed. As I cald, I believe she deserves nothing from my son. He’s provided her with a very comfortable life during their years of mariage. I beg you to show me what’s written, I assure you, I’m wiry generous.” I say as I take out a card and place it on the desk. This card holds enough money for a nice vacation. You just need to show me the draft–it doesn’t even have to be the original, a copy will do.”
The man hesitates, unsure if he should accept. In the end, he does, going over to the shelf to retrieve the folder he recently prepared for his client.
Discreetly, we make the exchange, While I take the folder, the man takes the card.
After reading it, I feel like I’m about to explode. Over my dead body will that woman become a partner in the company. I need to convince the man in front of me to write up ‘my conditions.”
if you help me change a few things, that card will have much more money. If you agree, reach out to me, and I’ll tell you what i want written–just don’t breathe a word to my son” I can see the gleam of ambition in the lawyer’s eyes.
“Agreed. You win, I help you”
- Does your chad know that he came?
That’s the answer I was expecting I think, as a smile spreads across my face. That woman won’t get a single cent. I grab my purse and leave, as if i had never been there.
As I walk towards the exit I think about all the nonsense my son put in that contract. Sometimes I think he’s a bit stupid. He lets himself be dominated too easily by women. First the bland Amelia, and now that wixen Katty. My son is the only one who can’t see what kind of women she is or how she manipulates him at will. But I plan to use her family’s connections to climb the social ladder. Being newly rich doesn’t guarantee access to the high society I’ve always desired. But now, I have the opportunity and I’m going to take it.
I decide to go to my tennis class. At least I can enter the most exclusive club. Money has opened many doors for me, but I want more. I want to be recognized by those women who now look down on me, even though many don’t have the money I do. But that will soon change.
