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 MarÃa?"
- "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 MarÃa with bitterness.
- From a distance, he sees Johana, Dulce MarÃa'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.
