The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Reluctantly Gerard gets out of bed and that’s only because Luz forces him to get up, they can’t stay out of the house, because Charlize is their responsibility. Evangeline can stay with her for a few hours, but not overnight.

She gets into the shower, without getting her hair wet, and Gerard rests his chin on Luz’s left shoulder, while his arms go around her.

-I don’t want to rush anything, but it would be good if we looked for a date soon.

-Yes, I don’t want to get married with a huge belly, do you think in two months?

-I think it’s perfect, in a month we can announce our engagement.

-It is necessary? -she asks him nervously, because she knows that this involves inviting people with money and that makes her nervous-. 1

-There are friends with whom I want to share the news, it won’t be something big either, for that we will have 1 wedding, only if you want it.

They finish showering in silence, Luz taking on the weight of being Gerard Finnick’s wife and he taking on the weight of marrying a girl who doesn’t aspire to great things, other than loving him, having his son and being a good lawyer in a future.

Leaving the room, Luz stands in front of Gerard and tells him.

-I think I can give in about the guests. You are an important lawyer and I will be your wife, I must get used to that, especially if one day I will be the most ruthless lawyer in New York. -So you want to be the most ruthless – he brings her closer to her body and she smiles – For whom?

-For the rapists, the abusers of women and minors, if I have to go myself to enter a brothel where migrant women are exploited, I will do it, as long as I seek justice.

“You know I won’t let you do such a thing.” She wrinkles her forehead and Gerard kisses her there. For that you will have me, I will take care of dismantling brothels and you will lock up those bastards.

“No, Mr. Finnick, the further from the women the better.”

-You are very jealous, Miss Mendez.

-Not as much as you, but there are things that I will not allow. That is my fight, no one else will fight it for me.

They dress quickly and leave the hotel, hand in hand, heading for the house.

A sleepy Charlize awaits them there, who has wanted to wait for them to arrive, because no one tells her stories like Luz or tucks her in like her father.

Both take care of the little girl and once she is asleep, Gerard kisses her on the head.

-Little light – he whispers as they leave the room – Wait for me in our room, I must make a call and I’ll catch up with you in a while.

– Very well, but don’t be late, I can’t fall asleep if you don’t hug me – she says pouting, which Gerard erases with a tender kiss -.

-It’s not very long, just something I have to fix with Dan.

She smiles and goes into the bedroom, while Gerard looks up Dan in the address book and dials him.

-Do you already have the name?

– Rickon Bowman. -Damn, I’ll put him under investigation … -It’s not necessary, Luz told me that after he gave her a soda, she felt bad and took her to the room where I was, to come back for her. .. you know.

I can’t write the profanities that Dan blurted out, because it wouldn’t be correct. It is better that they continue to maintain the image of him, as a gentleman, with lousy taste, but a gentleman nonetheless.

I’ll report to Alpha right now. -Five more days. -How will you do it so that he doesn’t recognize you? - There are masks, my dear friend. “You scared me already…” Dan sighs tiredly and adds, “Well, I think he’ll only get what he deserves.”

-He won’t want to do the same thing again, I’ll make sure he begs me to put him in jail, although he won’t do any better there.

-Nope, those in prison are doing very badly. Rest, let your wife’s arms calm you down a bit and let everything else be as it is.

-Thank you, Dan. Rest.

The friends hang up, Gerard looks at that mask again and the darkest smile escapes from his face. He locks it up again and decides that for today nothing can disturb him, he already knows who was the unhappy one who helped all this and he will have his own revenge.

He walks into the room he now shares with his wife and their baby on the way. She will listen to Dan, he will let his arms, his body, his breathing help him calm down…just for now.
