56- Spiral message
Cassandra Mind*
She has a firm believer in family and custom, not wanting to leave a bad image, the same way
of Think Mathew has for his company.
Both brothers were astonished, but more so Mathew, who had never been a one-woman man,
and had no plans to be chained in an arranged marriage to an unbearable and capricious woman
who would surely make him miserable.
-This is getting interesting," Alan exclaimed in amusement, knowing that his brother could not
accept that clause.
-Shut up," growled the older brother.
-In the event that this should not come to pass, Mr. Alan would inherit the position and the lion's
share of the profits.
-Stop talking and tell me once and for all who is going to be the lucky woman to marry me.
Alan rolled his eyes, the lawyer grabbed the will and read aloud:
-Miss Katlyn Walker, heiress and owner of the largest cosmetics company in Europe.
Both brothers gasped when they heard the name of Mathew's fiancée.
For the new heir, now they were not such a bad idea to get married, that woman slept on
mattresses of euros, if he joined his riches with hers he would be a filthy millionaire, he would
have no limits. He thought savoring and imagining his new acquisitions for when he is married.
But Alan, who thought that finally his brother would get the punishment he deserved, now wanted
to murder him. Because he knew perfectly well who this woman was, he had loved her for as long
as he could remember, and he had imagined, once his father was dead and with the power in his
hands, to ask her to marry him. But now his brother was going to take her away from him, the
woman of his dreams! He couldn't let that idiot get his hands on a woman as beautiful and
prestigious as she was.
Alan got up suddenly from the conference table, knocking over the chair with abruptness.
-Where are you going, little brother?" he asked in an unbearable and irritating tone.
-I have nothing to do here anymore, enjoy your riches brother, I hope life gives you what you
deserve.
-I hope so too, little brother. -
Alan left the office closing the door tightly.
-Take care of all the paperwork and the engagement," he ordered the lawyer, "I must go tidy up
my new office," he smiled victoriously.
After all, that arrogant, narcissistic old man had been good for something. He said to himself,
thinking of his father whom he had never put up with in life.
-Thank you for taking care of him, really, the nanny didn't want to come because it was
unannounced and....
-It's ok Hele, don't worry, and go quickly, you're not going to make it to the interview.
Cassandra De Luna smiled at her best and only friend David, she didn't know how to thank him for
agreeing to take care of her little brother at the last minute. Since their father had died of a
serious illness it had been just the two of them against the world. Lucas had become a son to
Cassandra, but this responsibility had also been very difficult for her, because the little boy was a
very delicate child who got sick regularly, having to run to the hospital several times a month and
owing large bills that she had no idea when she would be able to pay.
But today she had some hope, because she had found on the internet that they were looking for a
new secretary for the new CEO of a tech company that she had no idea about, but they seemed to
give good pay, and she really needed the money.
-Thank you David," she said, jumping on top of him and hugging him tightly.
The young man laughed at her friend's childish attitude, but enjoying the hug, then he let her go,
even though he really didn't want to.
-Hurry up. - he ordered with a smile.
Cassandra gave a kiss on the forehead to her little brother who was on the floor playing with his
old toys.
-Be good to David, okay? I'll be back in a little while.
The boy nodded without stopping playing.
-Anything you want to do, call me," he said to his friend before leaving.
-Yes, yes, go away at once!
Cassandra smiled at him and ran out of her small studio apartment in the center of the city.
The young woman was running with her heart in her throat, the bus had taken longer than
expected to arrive and she was running on time.
She spotted the large building with thousands of windows and many floors on the sidewalk in
front of her with a large illuminated sign that read "INDUSTRIAS ALLER S.A.".
She crossed the street, but as she had always been a clumsy and distracted woman, her ankle
buckled because she was not used to high heels and she fell on all fours on the hard concrete of
the street, scraping her knee and staining her resume with dirty water.
-Damn it!" she shook the now ruined and unpresentable paper.
She tried to get up in pain when she heard the screeching of tires.
Everything happened very fast, she saw how a high-end black vehicle was approaching her at high
speed and it seemed that it would not be able to stop.
Cassandra did nothing but close her eyes tightly and think that her little brother wanted to be
without anyone in this world.
