Fake marriage with CEO

turn up my nose and try to look at him as an equal. - And who are you? - I represent Mr Thompson's interests. - I look at my brother-in-law's coffin, which is a little further away from my sister's. - Mr Noah Thompson. I remember that name, I think I heard something about it, that man was my sister's husband's brother, but what could he want with me? - AND? - I arch an eyebrow, trying to understand what he wants with me. - Can we go outside and talk a little? - Suggests. I ponder whether I should trust this man. - It's about your niece. As the subject interests me a lot, I head outside.

- Your niece is at Mr Thompson's house. - Let me know, bluntly. - I would love to go see her. - He wants custody of the child. I blink several times, trying to assimilate the direct way this man says things. - As? - I just need you to sign a document, agreeing that custody of Miss Charlotte will be solely and exclusively with Mr. Thompson. - I narrow my eyes. - As you may know, the girl only has you two as close and living relatives. I see you don't have any resources to create it. - She points to my clothes. - Therefore, the most suitable place for her is with him. What I am proposing is that you sign without any problems and we will agree a generous amount for you, leaving both parties satisfied. - Wait! - I exclaim, completely outraged by what I just heard. - Are you trying to buy my niece? - I let out an ironic laugh. - It all depends on your point of view. - Do you think I'm stupid? - His cold eyes stare at me. - I'm not signing anything! - She is the daughter of Mr. Thompson's brother... - I don't even let him finish and interrupt his speech. - She IS my sister's daughter too! - You have no condition to take care of a child and give them a dignified life. I stamp my foot on the floor and fold my arms at chest height. - How it is? Who do you think you are to know if I have the conditions or not? - Just look at you. - Look, you idiot! - I uncross my arms and point my finger in his direction. - Just because I'm not rich like your boss doesn't mean I can't take care of my niece. Know that it's not just money that a child needs, understand? I want you and your boss to go to hell! - I'm starting to get out of there. - Tell him that I will never sign it. - I'm afraid you'll have big problems. I stop walking immediately. - Are you threatening me? - I question, feeling a certain fear, but I don't show it. - I'm just saying that you'll get into a fight for nothing. - We'll see! - Do you have any idea who Noah Thompson is? - He asks and I laugh. - Yes, I have an idiot who thinks he can buy everything and everyone. I won't give up my niece and you can bet I'll fight for her. - I get away from that man as quickly as possible. I feel my legs shake, I've never faced someone like that. I return to the wake and watch the cremation of the bodies. Without a doubt, this part is the hardest, from then on I knew I wouldn't see her again. I returned to my house in tears. I still lived in the house we grew up in, in a simple neighborhood, in the suburbs of San Francisco, despite the difficult conditions, here everyone knew each other, and the neighbors ended up becoming part of the family, and that's actually good, because I feel less alone , since I lived alone with Josh, my dog ​​who kept me company. I confess that I'm a little scared after the conversation I had with that strange man, but I couldn't give up on my niece, I had to fight to be by her side, after all now it was just the two of us. I'm sure my sister would be very disappointed if I renounced Charlotte like that, not to mention I wouldn't forgive myself either. Chapter 1 I was having a snack in the kitchen of my house, when I heard someone knocking on the door, I crossed the small room and opened the old wooden door, seeing my only friend, Judith, standing there. - Sorry, I couldn't get there sooner, that restaurant was crazy today - she explains, entering and leaving her bag on the old sofa. - Okay, I just arrived. - And how was it there? - Sit down and I'll do the same. - Strange, despite all this time away from my sister, it's strange to say goodbye to her like this. - Heavy sigh. - I think I just got into a big fight. - Like this? What fight are you talking about? - Judith inquires and settles down on the sofa, waiting for the gossip. - My brother-in-law's brother's lawyer showed up there, even offering money so I could relinquish custody of my niece without any problems. - My God, Scarlett! And now? - I don't know, he probably has a lot of money and a better chance of winning custody of her. - The fact that he has money doesn't make him the best option to be with her - Judith says. - Tell that to the American authorities. You know that those who have money always have an advantage. She takes an apple out of her bag and starts eating. - That's not fair. I'm sure your sister would want her to stay with you. - You know, if you think about it logically, he is better able to raise her, he can give her everything she needs. - Money is not everything, my friend, you have love, affection and dedication to offer. - Does that fill your stomach, Judith? She was raised in luxury, she studies at a school where the monthly fee would be enough to make a purchase at the supermarket for a family of ten people, she travels in a car with drivers and security guards. While some days I don't even have money for the bus. -Are you thinking about giving up on her? - He asks, looking at me, a little confused. - I can't, I couldn't live with the guilt, but I don't even know how I'm going to pay for a lawyer who can fight Noah Thompson in court. - I already feel defeated before this fight even starts. -Noah Thompson? The engineering CEO? - Judith practically screams. - His company is responsible for building the biggest and most beautiful skyscrapers in San Francisco, he's so bad that people say no one can work with him, and no one has ever even seen a photo of him in the newspapers, he works as a recluse in his rooftop office of one of the largest buildings in the financial district, and they say he goes to work by helicopter every day. - She practically hands me a complete archive of the man's life. Which only served to make me even more terrified. - I need to talk to him, maybe he understands that I can't stay away from my niece. - I reflect on the best option. - And how are you going to get close to him, woman? Didn't you hear anything I said? - I don't know, but I need to find a way to do this. - I was with a guy who works at the reception of the building where his offices are, and he said that no one came near the man. An idea pops into my head. - Are you still in contact with this guy? -Scar
