43- Crazy of love

-What happened? -What did you do now?

-Please leave, Erik.

-Dude... it was your last chance and she seemed like a nice girl...

-Go away!" shouted the CEO, losing his patience.

Erik sighed resignedly and headed for the door.

-It's okay Sebas, but you should start rethinking your attitudes, they're not going to get you anywhere.

The elder Aller didn't answer him, letting his best and only friend leave. He could not stop thinking that he had wasted such a great opportunity that fate had given him. Now it only remained to hope that in a week Helena would not be able to return the money and finally close the deal, meanwhile the young Aller had something pending to solve.

Helena was mentally crossing off the days of the week that were ending in front of her eyes without success in getting a new job, she had even lowered her expectations and her standards, asking for work in the worst places, in those that exploited you for two pesos, but even so they did not hire her, she was having a very bad time again.

She went back home and went through all her belongings, she had already sold the TV and the reality was that she didn't have much else left, all that was left in the house was old furniture, but not the old kind that paid a lot, but the old second hand ones that were completely damaged, even her little brother didn't have good toys. He didn't even have jewelry or anything from his family. His life and his past generations were worthless.

-I'm worthless, the De Luna's were never worth anything, I'm a nobody," she said aloud, torturing herself even more.

And now the only option was to sell her baby to have money, that denigrated her even more, the only thing worth of her was her body, which had already been corrupted with nothing in return.

"If only I had my savings, with that I could pay off the debt and forget about that man forever."

She unlocked her cell phone and logged into her savings account app without any hope, only to see her account empty again.

Her eyes opened so wide they looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets. He refreshed the page several times because he couldn't believe what he was seeing, thinking it was just an illusion of his frazzled mind. But no, there was the money that had been stolen from him.

It had been returned!

He never thought such a thing could happen.

He quickly left the apartment, still in time to go to the bank and get the money, to throw it in Sebastian's face, shutting his big mouth.

After a long process at the bank, the redhead was finally able to withdraw the money. It was already late when she returned to the building happy and hopeful, tomorrow she would pay back every penny her ex-boss had taken from her.

As she was turning the corner, right where the entrance to the building was she came upon a strange scene.

"They were moving in, at this hour? How strange" Helena thought as she saw some furniture at the entrance and a suitcase.

But as she got closer to the things on the sidewalk she began to see them as familiar, that mirror... that old armchair... those antique dolls....

They were his belongings! His whole life piled up in a mountain of old things on the street.

She ran towards the mountain with her heart in her throat and saw on the other side of the glass door the landlord talking with a young couple. Desperate, Helena motioned to the man, who gave her a sober look and said something to the couple before stepping out into the street.

-What's going on? Why are my things in the street? she asked in desperation.

-Helena... I had already warned you that if you didn't pay...

-I know! But come on... you know me all my life, my dad lived here, I was born here, my brother was born here, you can't do this to me, I was going to pay you, I swear it. He took out of his backpack a wad of money, take it please....

The man denied turning into an unbreakable wall in front of the young woman.

-No Helena... this really hurts me more than it hurts you, but since your father died I have been in debt with your rent arrears and I can't take it anymore... I have buyers who are going to pay today and I can't refuse....

-Please," the young woman begged, "I have my little brother sick, what am I going to do when he is discharged? Where am I going to go?

-That's not my problem anymore," exclaimed the man indifferently, who looked at the impatient couple inside the building, "And this is mine," he said and took the keys from her hand.

-Let me pay for another apartment, the oldest one you have.

-No Helena, I can't risk it with you again.

The man started to walk away, turning his back on her.

-Are you going to leave me on the street with all my things? Hey, please listen to me," she sobbed, kneeling on the floor.

But the landlord didn't hear her, entering the building and appeasing the couple who had seen the whole scene.

"Don't give her any importance, she's just a street girl always looking for trouble" said the man heading to the elevator with the buyers.

-What did you do with Helena you bastard?!

-Hello big brother, long time no see," mocked the youngest Aller when his brother entered his office grabbing him by the shirt, as was his custom, "I was beginning to miss your unusual way of greeting me.

-Why did you kick Helena out?

-Ohh, now you're worried about her, what do you know.

-Stop being such an idiot and answer my questions.

Alan grabbed his brother's wrists, pulling the CEO's hands from his shirt, then casually rearranging his clothes.

-It just wasn't working for me anymore and I threw it out.

-He swore that if you weren't my brother he would beat you to a pulp right here.

-Oh please Sebastian! You didn't think I was your brother when you married Katlyn.

-I always knew you were a scumbag, but I really thought you'd have a limit.

-You're so funny Sebastian, I'd never get bored with you. She's just an ordinary girl like so many others! What's so special about her?

-You can't just throw a pregnant woman out on the street! -That's just over the line Alan!

-She's what?

They were both silent at this confession.

-Didn't you know?

Sebastian at that moment realized that he had spoken too much, and felt a deep need to protect Helena invade him.

-If you get close to her again....

-Get out of my company..." warned the youngest Aller, who was still in shock from the news.

-You won't be...

-Get out before I throw you out of the window," the youngest shouted forcefully, "From now on you are forbidden to enter," he said.

Sebastian looked at him defiantly before leaving.

-Get away from her and you won't have to see me anymore," said the elder Aller, leaving the office.
