Chapter 3

• I enter the mansion and make my way to my room. But my mother's voice stops me.
• "Darling, where were you?"
• "Mother! You always scare me, you seem like a ghost, you can't get rid of that habit."
• "And you continue to disrespect your mother, is that what Maskyn taught you?" Hailey asks.
• “Hahaha, sorry mother!”
• "Where were you coming from, son?"
• "I was just taking a walk, and what about Dulce María?"
• "She's already asleep, dear. Since your brother is on his honeymoon, he'll be staying for another week."
• "Let them enjoy, mother. You, more than anyone, know that everyone needs their own couple time."
• "And I agree with you! My concern is that Emma will have two babies, and that's not easy."
• "That Emma is a rock, she doesn't feel anything."
• "You had to be a stubborn man. You still haven't told me where you were, and neither of us is moving until you do."
• "Mom, I already told you, I was just taking a walk."
• "Do you have a girlfriend?"
• "No, mom, not at all."
• "That's what your brother used to say."
• "He and I are very different, so no. Although dreaming doesn't cost anything, I'm going to sleep."
• "You're a bad son."
• "You know that's not true, I love you, mother."
• "Fool! You take advantage of the fact that I love you."
• "Hahaha, no, mother, I'm leaving, I'm sleepy."
• "Sweet dreams, my love, but come and give your mother a little kiss."
• "Oh, mom, don't you think we're too old for that?"
• "I've given you an order."
• Maskyn nods and with a smile, he approaches his mother Hailey and gives her a kiss on the forehead.
• "Sweet dreams, little son."
• "Same to you, mother."
• I go up to my room, my mother is a saint to me, the best mother we could have in this life, even though we don't deserve her. As her children, we have failed her, but she still loves us.
• I take off my clothes and take a bath, I need some entertainment. I finish bathing and leave the bathroom to grab my phone and make a video call with the actress I like so much.
• The experience with this woman is incredible, I enjoy doing these kinds of things with her. She knows what she's doing and what I like.
• Feeling relieved, I go to sleep...
• The next day... Maskyn wakes up at 6:30 am, it has become a habit for him to wake up automatically at that time, although there are times when he sleeps longer, but that's due to tiredness.
• Today is going to be a good day, I can feel it," says Maskyn, talking to himself. He goes out in sportswear, a hoodie, and a tank top.
• He goes to the exercise area and there is his sister Channel.
• "How are you doing, Channel?"
• "Maskyn, what a habit, not making any noise when you enter."
• "You're always scared."
• "Brother, do you think my body looks good?"
• "You know that if it didn't, I would have already told you. Why do you ask?"
• "Nothing! Forget it. Lately, I've been wanting to have a serious relationship."
• "You! Poor guy who ends up with you."
• "Idiot, did you come to annoy me or to exercise?"
• "Both things."
• "Ugh, I can't stand you."
• "You love me, you'd die without me."
• "In your dreams, idiot."
• "Oh yeah, and who saved your skin?"
• "Rather, go exercise, let's see if we can have breakfast as a family."
• Maskyn laughs mischievously.
• Both siblings finish their exercise routine and come out sweaty. Each goes to their room to have breakfast.
• After a while, Maskyn arrives at the dining room, and Channel is already eating.
• "Son, good to see you," says Mr. Arturo.
• "Good morning, father. What can I do for you?"
• "I need your help. I have some lands that I need to check. Will you accompany me?"
• “Father, I actually have things to do today!”
• “Like what? Go on with your lazy life?” Mr. Arturo says angrily.
• “Dear, we're having breakfast,” Hailey says.
• “Dad, if that's what you think of me for not following in your footsteps, I'm not going to argue with you,” Maskyn says seriously.
• Mr. Arturo slams his hand on the table, startling Channel and Hailey.
• “I'm leaving,” Maskyn says, knowing that his father is about to start arguing.
• “You're not going anywhere.”
• “Father, I don't want to argue with you. I'm going to see my niece and then I have things to do. If only you would trust me a little, maybe you would have more peace.”
• “Then why don't you speak clearly to me, Maskyn?” Mr. Arturo speaks loudly.
• “Enough, both of you! This is not the time. When we sit down to eat, it should be done with respect and harmony, Arturo and Maskyn,” Hailey says, annoyed.
• “That's why our children don't obey, because you spoil them and I'm always the bad guy,” Arturo says, annoyed at Hailey.
• “I can't believe you're saying this to me, Arturo,” Hailey stands up and goes to her room, feeling tears welling up.
• “Hailey!” Arturo shouts, but it's useless, she's already gone.
• “Oh, daddy, this is going to cost you,” Channel says.
• “Shut up, Channel,” Maskyn scolds her.
• “Damn it!” Arturo says, standing up.
• “You and I, Maskyn, are going to talk, understood.”
• With that, Arturo goes to where his wife is.
• " Why don't you tell her the truth already?"
• " Because I don't like people meddling in my life, Channel. So keep quiet, or I'll tell our parents about your misdeeds."
• " More than what you and Charles have done?"
• " But those things look bad on a woman, and I don't think you want our father to see you as his spoiled little angel anymore."
• “I'd better go see my niece," Maskyn says and walks away to the garden.
• He tries to take deep breaths, so as not to approach Dulce María with bitterness.
• From a distance, he sees Johana, Dulce María's nanny, singing to the baby.
• Maskyn approaches her completely.
• " Good morning!"
• " Oh, good morning, Mr. Maskyn," she says respectfully.
• " So now you're a nanny and a singer?"
• Johana feels embarrassed.
• " Sir, do you mind if I leave Dulce for a moment? I need to do something," she says nervously.
