Chapter 4 Broken Promises

Chapter 4

Amelia laughed a little uncomfortable. "It's not that I wanted to spy, it's just that I was passing by. I am very sorry for causing so much trouble to you and your family. This marriage was a mistake from the beginning, we are different worlds, you have someone you cannot forget and I have my pride. Your parents do not accept me and I do not want to humiliate myself, so "what, this is all"

Dorian, with his dark eyes, stared at her, his lips were pursed, without saying a word.

Amelia also looked at him in silence.

Whether it's my family or my personal situation, I know I'm not up to you, but in this world there is someone who is.

It will be, so I'm not going to force myself anymore Amelia smiled, I wish you and Miss Amanda all the happiness in the world.

He remained silent

Amelia didn't say anything else either and after a courteous smile, she turned to return to her room.

"Amanda is Piero Sabin's youngest daughter, she got lost when she was 5 years old and I was the one who lost sight of her," Dorian said suddenly. Amelia turned around in surprise to look at him.

looked 'If I were still alive, I would be about your age.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that she. Amelia started to apologize instinctively.

"It doesn't matter," Dorian interrupted her. "It's not a problem of who deserves who, it's me who hasn't taken good care of you, I'm very sorry."

She contradicted him, "It's my fault.

"It has nothing to do with you," Dorian exhaled softly, returning to his usual calm, "I will see that the lawyer handles the divorce and the division of assets will be done properly."

"No need," Amelia smiled as she declined, "Anyway, it had nothing to do with me."

He didn't say anything, just looked at her silently from a short distance, his dark eyes calm and cold, deep like a bottomless dark lake.

Amelia's face began to lose its smile and she waved her hand behind her: "Then, I'm going to go." Suddenly, Dorian stepped forward and hugged her tightly. "Take care of yourself. He said in her ear and quickly let go of her and then left without looking back.

Amelia stood watching him walk away, her large, well-built figure as confident as ever, but with an air of cold determination, without any trace of nostalgia.

It was the Dorian she knew. She couldn't help but smile, but the tears began to fall uncontrollably. She wanted to stop, but for some reason she couldn't and her throat felt sore.

She raised her head slightly, forcing the tears back, and when she returned to her room, she deleted Dorian from her phone, then began to prepare to study abroad.

He was lucky and the visa arrived quickly.

Before going abroad, Amelia took some time to return home.

As soon as I entered, he saw his brother Fabio Soto lying on the couch playing video games, clearly enjoying himself. -Chapter 4

Fabio was six years older than her, handsome and well educated, he had graduated from a renowned university, he had always been diligent in his studies, but as the only male child, his mother, Blanca Soto, had spoiled him since he was little and He never wanted him to go through difficulties, which ended up ruining him. He couldn't face problems, he always had high expectations and never lasted more than six months at a job. Or he would complain that the work was meaningless and a waste of time, or that the salary was too low to be worth his time, or that his boss was an idiot who didn't understand him. It was always someone else's fault, never his. So after seven or eight years of graduating from university, he had achieved nothing, always dreaming of starting a business and becoming rich, but he had only emptied his parents' savings, achieving nothing. and doing nothing at home.

He didn't notice that Amelia had entered, but his mother, who was busy in the kitchen, saw her and dried her hands to go greet her, instinctively looking behind Amelia: ~Meli? ~Why did you come back alone? ~Where

Is Dorian?"

Fabio was involved in the game when he looked up and instinctively looked behind Amelia. "Has the brother-in-law arrived?" Not seeing Dorian, I looked at her again. "Did you argue?"

Amelia answered No.

~So you are very busy? His brother lowered her legs from the coffee table and said. "Hey, did you tell your husband? Let me pass on the resort construction project. In any case, they have to hire someone, it is better that they give the money to me and not a stranger, so that the water does not run out of the furrow"

and "And about the house in the Villa Fragrante, did you mention it?" That house with a lake view is great, it's big

It has a lot of light, everyone loves it. The real estate agency calls me every now and then to hurry up and confirm. If we don't give the advance this week, they are going to take away the house that Blanca, her mother, liked. I also entered the conversation.

Amelia told them: "If you have money, buy it." Blanca replied: "We were thinking about asking Dorian for a loan."

She stared at her: "Mom, a villa is worth more than ten million. You borrow that money without even having a way to pay it back, is that borrowing? "That is giving."

His mother lowered her voice: "But when your brother takes over the resort project, he will have money to pay for it."

"Yes, Amelia," Fabio intervened, "don't worry, we don't want your money. We'll just borrow it for now and then we'll pay you back in full, including interest.

Amelia looked at him intently: "And what are you going to do the project with? You have no experience, no contacts, no capital, no necessary Qualifications, are you going to trust your front company?"

Since marrying Dorian, Fabio thought he had found a path to wealth. He knew that Dorian's family was involved in real estate and since he had heard that construction was lucrative, he quickly created a construction company without any experience. He planned to take advantage of his relationship with Dorian to get some projects.

He wasn't planning on actually doing the work, but rather subcontracting it for a high price and then passing it on to someone else for less, thus making a difference.

Amelia knew very well what she was planning and how much she required. She always stopped him so she wouldn't get close to Dorian.

But Fabio was a persistent person and although she could stop him once or twice, she couldn't do it forever. Since she realized that she was not going to help him, she began looking for Dorian on her behalf, just like Blanca.

His mother did not want to earn through projects like Fabio; she was directly interested in Dorian's money

Chapter 4

Since Amelia got married, Blanca began to feel a pride of association and walked more upright, boasting to everyone that she belonged to a rich family, that her son-in-law was incredibly capable and always willing to help his family. That made all her relatives, even those distant ones, approach her with any excuse, asking for money, looking for employment or favors. Blanca, who loved appearances, accepted everything they asked of her and then went to pressure Amelia.

She did not give in to his whims and rejected all his requests. But Blanca and Fabio shared the same flaw. When they saw that Amelia would not help them, they began to act on their own, even going to talk to Dorian's parents, saying things like "Meli." she feels uncomfortable asking for this, so we came to talk to you', 0 "Meli was very affected by losing a child, she has sacrificed so much, you should consider...

Amelia found out about these things from Cintia's sarcastic comments and I understood why Dorian's parents despised her, thinking that she was calculating, that she took advantage of her marriage with her son to benefit her family. Amelia found it extremely uncomfortable, but She didn't know what Dorian thought about all that, because he never talked about those topics with her.

But he probably didn't respect her much either. After finding out all this, she felt very embarrassed.

Fabio did not understand her concerns and when she mentioned her project as a briefcase company, he immediately became upset. ~How do I have a business? Yes, of course, since you married a rich man, you believe yourself a lot and now you look down on us. Now I see it clearly, that's why whenever we look for you,

you make excuses

Blanca didn't have a good face either: "Meli, why are you talking to your brother like that? If I was just mentioning it, if he's going to give the job to someone from outside, he might as well give it to his own people. It's not that we want to take advantage.

"Well, let him compete for the job with his merits." Amelia put her bag down, "I'm going to my room."

When I closed the bedroom door, her mother's insults could be heard without a filter: "Ever since your dad brought her home, I said that we shouldn't stay with her, that other people's children never get attached. But your dad didn't listen to me and insisted on keeping her. Look, we tightened our belts to raise her and pay for her studies, but now that she's grown up and successful, she despises us about her. "

Amelia sat as if lost in front of the table, her gaze went from the emptiness of the room to the small jewelry box on the table. She hesitated for a moment before taking it.

Inside the little box lay a small statue of the Virgin Mary with an antique look, it was elegant, it looked more like something a man would wear. But Amelia barely remembered that she had worn it as a child, although she didn't know who had worn it.

That was all he remembered from his childhood, that little statue of the Virgin Mary hanging from his neck.

She was adopted, she knew it since she was little.
