My Brother In Law's Baby

- This is ridiculous! - shouted the youngest son of the important Aller family to the lawyer and his older brother, Sebastian Aller, who was smiling with pleasure at the new news as he watched his brother turn as red as a tomato with anger.

-I'm sorry little brother, but they are the last words of our dear departed father. - He mocked him.

-But this can't be true! Dad was crazy if he thought it would be a good idea to leave his job to you," He protested, "You're useless, you spend all our money on women, alcohol and luxury cars. You have no idea how to run a company! I should be the one who should have that place! - He shouted, banging on the glass table of the law office.

Sebastian, the eldest son and new heir to more than half of the wealth his father had acquired with his technology company, smiled amusedly without saying anything, he knew he had won this battle. He didn't care if his brother cried and kicked, he wouldn't give him a penny more.

-I'm sorry Mr. Aller- the frightened lawyer replied to Alan- But it is your father's wishes, for you 35 percent of the income and for your brother Sebastian 65 percent and the position vacated by the late Mr. Aller. - He said, reviewing the documents.

-Do you see, little brother? Father knew who was the more competent of the two," he said, widening his smile even more and showing his shiny, gleaming teeth that looked like ivory.

-There is one more thing," said the thin, scrawny gentleman, who looked like an insect next to the two adonis in front of him, fearfully.

-What is it?" asked the older brother impatiently, he wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, he hated meetings and paperwork, they simply bored him. He couldn't wait to have everything under his control and in his wallet.

-In order to collect his inheritance and keep his position as CEO of Aller Industries, he would have to marry the woman his father had agreed to in his will. He was a firm believer in family and custom, not wanting to leave a bad image for his company.

Both brothers were astonished, but more so Sebastian, 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 Sebastian'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.

Helena 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 Helena, 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.

Helena 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!

Helena 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.

Helena did nothing but close her eyes tightly and think that her little brother wanted to be without anyone in this world.

Helena waited for the impact that never came.

Had she died instantly and therefore felt no pain?

Slowly she opened her eyes, first one and then the other, and found the trunk of the elegant car with a foreign license plate very close to her face, her body convulsing with fear at how close she had come to dying.

He almost left his little brother an orphan, the mere thought of how lonely and sad he would have been made his sky blue eyes fill with crystalline tears.

- What the fuck were you thinking?! - Sebastian shouted as he got out of his vehicle, after a stranger came out of nowhere and crossed in front of him. He almost almost ran her over if it wasn't for his good reflexes.

Helena heard the man curse and, frightened, she slowly stood up, feeling a sharp pain in her knee.

- Can't you see where you're walking, woman? - he shouted harshly

The girl did not dare to look up, she felt ashamed for having caused the accident by not looking when crossing the road.

-I'm so sorry," she exclaimed with her head down.

She didn't see the man's face, but just by looking at his perfectly polished black leather shoes and tailored tailored pants of the same color she knew he was an important and powerful person, far from having a life like hers.

-Next time watch the damn traffic light!

exclaimed Sebastian with contempt, when he saw the exaggeratedly thin woman bowing in front of him in shame. She's a board! Thought the young heir as he looked at her non-existent curves. He couldn't see her face, because her long reddish hair covered her face like a cascade of fire, but he was sure she was not very graceful.

-Excuse me!

The woman kept trembling and apologizing. Fed up with so much humiliation on his part, he decided to return to his vehicle and forget about it, he had more important things to do.

He got into his late model luxury vehicle and honked at the woman, who had not yet moved out of his way.

Helena jumped in fright at the honk and Sebastian couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous she looked.

The unemployed young woman walked as best she could and got out of the way, as soon as she set foot on the sidewalk the vehicle accelerated passing very close to her making her stagger and turned at the corner of the big company.

Lunatic" she thought in bewilderment. She took her second step and realized she had stepped on something bulky, she looked down, it was a purse, a very elegant leather one.

She took it curiously and opened it.

His eyes lit up in surprise when he saw that inside the wallet was a large wad of dollar bills, as many as he had ever seen in his 24 years of life. That amount of money could pay off his debts and more!

He took the ID inside and found a young and elegant face.

-Sebastian Aller," he read aloud.

What did that last name sound like to her? She thought confused.

She couldn't remember, because her mind kept thinking about the money. The man had been despicable to her, someone like that didn't deserve a nice gesture.

-No Helena, you're not like that," she challenged herself, "You're going to return the wallet to its owner.

She put it in her purse ready to return it after the interview.

-What's all this mess?" shouted Sebastian as he entered his new office and saw the furniture full of dust, piles of papers and an unbearable smell of confinement. -Hey you!" He called the attention of an employee who unfortunately was just passing by.

-Yes, Mr. Aller," she said, frightened.

-Why isn't my office clean and shiny?

-I'm sorry, sir, but I don't know....

-I don't want an explanation, I want action! Find out at once and solve it as soon as possible! - he shouted throwing a notebook towards the door.

The woman ran out in panic looking for help

Helena entered the large building, and marveled at the large windows that illuminated the imposing reception room of white marble and minimalist style. She looked at the large sign on the desk of the beautiful and stunning receptionist.

Industrias Aller S.A.

Of course! Silly her, the ID said Aller. But did that mean she had the wallet of the owner of the company where she was going to apply for a job?

Her stomach churned.

Oh my god, she had to give it back before they misunderstood her intention.

-Hi, excuse me, I was just coming..." He didn't get to introduce himself at the front desk because the same woman who had crossed paths with the new ogre boss caught his eye.

-Hey you!" shouted the girl who came running straight towards her.

Helena was startled and clutched her purse tightly, where she had the wallet she had found.

Had she been discovered?

The woman grabbed her by the arm and pulled her tightly.

-Wait," Helena begged, "I swear I didn't....

-There's no time, the boss is here!

No no no no, they had caught her!

-I'm sorry, but I came here for the interview for the new position of...

Helena didn't make it clear that she was here for the secretary's position.

-There's no time for the interview, I need you to clean out her office before she kicks us all out.

Helena let herself be dragged along resigned that they weren't going to listen to her, I guess she had to obey if she wanted the position, maybe it starts at the bottom literally cleaning floors.

The woman took her up the elevator several floors, and to be exact, to the top floor.

Helena felt cold sweat, she had never been in such a fancy place, she had always had low paying jobs. She looked at herself in the elevator mirror and realized she was a mess, her knee was bruised and bleeding, her legs and heels were splattered with muddy drops from the street, and her hair was messy, plus her makeup had smeared from crying.

-We're here," said the woman.

Helena got out of the elevator and realized that the woman had not left behind her.

-Wait..." said Helena.

-Good luck," said the woman and closed the doors before she could say anything.

Helena was left alone in the long hallway, at the side of the road there was a bucket with water and several cleaning products, she took them as she could and walked to the end of the hallway limping in pain, she found a single reddish oak door with drawings of angry lions. The redhead swallowed nervously and knocked on the door. She received no answer and entered.

-Permiso," she said, startled.

She saw that behind a large red oak desk similar to the doors was a man with his back to her, looking out at the big city on the other side of the large window while talking on the phone in an angry tone.

-I don't care if it comes out to a million dollars! You bring it to me anyway," he shouted into the phone.

-Excuse me, sir," said Helena, trembling in a whisper.

-Alan? And what does my idiot brother have to do with all this? The CEO is me, so take care of it....

The girl put the products on the floor and rinsed the rag in the bucket mixing various liquids, then rolled up her sleeves and dipped her thin arms in the ice water. He put the rag on the floor and began to scrub on his knees, he felt a twinge of pain in his injured knee, he had to swallow the moan of suffering.

Sebastian was in the middle of a hot conversation with his accountant about whether or not to buy the new watch that had come on the market when he felt a strong smell invade his nostrils, stinging with discomfort.

-I'll call you back," he said and hung up the phone.

He turned around with the intention of insulting the cleaning person when....

-What second-hand product is that?" he exclaimed, turning around to chastise the janitor, surprised to see the scrawny woman he almost killed just a while ago. -You?" he said with contempt.

She was on the floor again, with her matted hair covering her identity, it seemed that this was her natural state.

The woman lifted her face in fright and he could finally see her.

Sebastian had to admit that she wasn't ugly, but she was no big deal to him either, used to stunning women, with sculpted bodies and exotic faces. She had the biggest eyes he had ever seen and that made him a little uncomfortable, the light blue color of her pupils was unique, like the sky, but on a clear summer day, her lips were thin and delicately pink, her skin was so pale it looked almost sickly, as if she had never been out in the sun, her nose was thin and upturned, dotted with a few brown freckles, she had an expression of terror on her face that made his skin crawl. Strands of her fiery hair fell in vertical lines across her face. Didn't she know a comb? She thought.

-Could you explain to me what you are doing in my office?" he demanded forcefully, startling the woman and diverting her thoughts to the woman, "Are you following me?!

-No-no sir, that's not true, I'm here to....

-Are you one of those scammers who want to take my money? I'm not an idiot, I know how to recognize one of yours....

Helena gritted her teeth and looked up at the arrogant man's face. The girl was not surprised to meet almond-shaped eyes with pupils of a brownish color with tints of red, as if they were the eyes of a demon that could pierce her skin and reach her soul. Helena swallowed saliva nervously as she couldn't deny how elegant and beautiful he was, his ID photo didn't live up to his face live and direct, his skin was a tan color that made her imagine that the ruthless man spent a lot of time vacationing in Caribbean countries, his face was perfectly shaven, his skin looked smooth and smooth worthy of someone of his class, with prominent cheekbones, pronounced jaw and Greek nose, jet black hair perfectly cut on the sides and a little longer on top. He looked like the perfect movie villain.

-That's not..." She tried to deny the accusation still stunned by the man's beauty.

-Get out of my office before I call the police. - He warned and stretched his long, slender arm towards the door.

Helena stood up clutching the rag that dripped water, wetting her feet.

-I just came to clean up," she exclaimed, her voice trembling.

Sebastian couldn't help but scoff with a grotesque chuckle, she looked pathetic.

-I can't believe that someone as dumb as you works in my company," he said.

Helena was astonished by the man's comment, she couldn't believe that someone so cruel would be her boss.

-She also couldn't believe that someone so inhuman could be the boss of such a renowned company," she muttered under her breath.

The man looked at her with his disturbingly black eyes.

-What did you say?" he warned.

Helena was frightened when she realized what she had said, she had to remember that she was there for the money, to pay for her little brother's medical expenses, she had to be more patient with the man.

-I said I can't believe they have such bad cleaning products," she lied biting her tongue and trampling on her dignity.

With a frightened voice and intimidated by the predatory look of her boss she lowered her head and said:

-I'm here to work, I'm sorry to bother you-.

Helena got down on her knees again and went back to scrubbing the floor, she had to put up with it, she couldn't give up at the first mistreatment, she had to put up with his inhumane treatment.

Sebastian sat on his big, plush leather seat that looked like a king's throne doing nothing but watching his employee clean by crawling across the floor.

He had to admit the woman was good at her job and that bothered him. He hated not being right.

He looked down at his half-drunk cup of coffee and in one swift motion threw it to the floor shattering it and littering the floor with the brown liquid.

-You missed it there," he exclaimed in amusement, crossing his arms.

Helena had to swallow the urge to insult him and clenched her fists tightly on the wet rag.

Sebastian noticed this and couldn't help but laugh out loud at his employee.

-What's the matter, are you feeling helpless? - he exclaimed, provoking her.

Helena paid no attention to him, and crawled towards the big stain, wiping it without saying anything.

-Oh, come on! I know you want to hit me, so do it!

The girl started cleaning harder

"Concentrate on your work Helena, don't listen to him, he just wants to bring you down."

Sebastian smiled amused

-Come on, get all that anger out of you!

Helena stopped scrubbing and forcefully wrung out the brown liquid, her face was almost as red as her hair, choking with insults that wouldn't come out.

Annoyed that the woman was ignoring him, he stopped laughing.

-Do it and you'll be out on your ass," he threatened in a hostile voice.

Helena felt the cold sweat run down her body. She took a deep breath and continued with her work, ignoring her boss's insults.

Sebastian leaned against his backrest, looking at her with bewilderment, he had to admit the woman was tough, he could take her insults. Many other employees would have run away, or cried or even shouted "I quit!". But the scrawny woman had said nothing.

After a while, Helena finally finished her torture, she had left the office so shiny that he could see his own tired reflection on the black marble floor.

Sebastian, who had been bored watching the woman work, with nothing better to do, watched as she got up from the floor shaking the dust off her thin knees, one of them had an open wound that he had not noticed until that moment. Had she done it to herself in the incident? The young heir wondered.

"It's not my damn problem" he concluded.

His maid, stretched her long arms above her head and pulled all the hair out of her face, tying it into a ponytail.

Sebastian couldn't help but look at her differently, the hair in the ponytail gave her a more provocative touch, the shirt rolled up and the last button of her shirt open, made him want to look inside and find her small breasts. Helena adjusted her skirt, which had ridden up a little too high. Sebastian swallowed saliva and wished that the woman was once again scrubbing the floor on all fours, but with her back to him.

Helena looked at him one last time before leaving, meeting her boss's leering gaze. She was about to run away when the man caught her eye:

-Is that your way of cleaning?

-Excuse me?

-The place is filthy, you're not even good for a janitor.

Helena looked at the place with bewilderment, but it was sparkling!

-I'm sorry sir, I'm going to polish it one more time," she answered resignedly.

The man clenched his fists in annoyance, he hated the woman's submission and passivity.

-No! Go away at once! I have more important things to do

Helena stared at him in confusion.

-What are you waiting for? Get out!

The redhead stormed out of the office, slamming the doors shut.

That fucker!

She entered the elevator and looked at the time on her cell phone, she was still on time to be able to hand in her resume for the secretary position, it was still a few minutes before three o'clock in the afternoon.

She walked down several floors to the human resources area and ran the last few meters to the office.

She peeked through the door

-Excuse me...

A man in his forties looked up.

-I came for the interview- Helena approached and timidly put the paper with her information on the desk, it was crumpled and wet from the water from the street, she felt embarrassed, but it was the only copy she had on her.

The man looked at the time on his wrist watch and then said with disinterest:

-I'm sorry, but we already closed the interviews.

-But there are still a few minutes left.

-It's already late, I'm sorry.

Helena closed the office door and walked shakily to the elevator, where she collapsed and began to cry inconsolably.

She hadn't made it!

That bastard had mocked her, humiliated her, even almost ran her over, and for what?

Helena got off at a random floor and took the ruthless man's wallet out of her purse and looked around, there was no one else. Angrily she took out the bills and threw the wallet in a trash can, pocketing the money in her purse, she got back on the elevator without realizing that the whole thing was caught on the security camera.

After the scrawny, graceless woman had left Sebastian's office, the young CEO hadn't stopped thinking about her for a second, knowing he couldn't get her out of his mind, because he was an obsessive and capricious man, he called his human resources manager.

-Sir?

-I need the name of the woman who did the cleaning in my office.

-I don't know who you mean, we haven't hired anyone yet.

Sebastian tightened his grip on the phone's receiver, I knew it! That woman was an extortionist and a phony.

A skinny, ginger-haired, disheveled woman.

-Oh yeah, she was late for the interview for presidential secretary, I had to turn her down.

Ah, so that was her intention, he laughed amused.

-Give her a new interview and give her the job.

-But Mr. Aller, that woman has no studies or experience in the area, it's too much of a position for a person who knows absolutely nothing.

-I have already made up my mind, I want her to be the one. Tell my father's secretary to teach her the basics" He hung up the phone without waiting for an answer.

Helena was sitting on the waiting bench at the reception, trying to regain her composure before going home, she didn't want her little brother or David to see her like that, if the man found out what had happened to her he would come to the company and want to kill the man who could have been her boss, her friend had always protected her, like a father.

She grabbed her cell phone to let her best friend know she was on her way when she got an email from the company.

Frightened and with her heart in her throat, she opened the email.

Had she been found out? Now she was in serious trouble.
