Episode 13

ALANA

Stupid icy-hearted man without feelings, I don't know why the hell he was so bothered by my sister's situation. Besides, she never hit or insulted me. She's not to blame for the parents she has, and I won't leave her alone. The thing that hurt me the most about that argument was that my little one heard everything and got scared when I said I was leaving. Of course, if I were to leave, I would take my little one with me no matter what, but it hurt a lot that he heard that disastrous argument. In the end, the emotionless ice man agreed to let my sister stay and will help her, but my baby wouldn't stop crying.

"Mummy, you won't leave me, right?" he says with teary eyes.

"No, my little one. What happened was because I was angry with Daddy, but I won't leave. We'll all stay here, including your aunt," I said, stroking his hair.

"Yes, little one, your mummy won't leave," Lucía said while caressing his hair.

"Do you promise, mommy?" my little one asks.

"We promise," Lucía and I said, and we all laughed.

"Now let's wash that little face, my prince, and I'll give you something to eat. Lucía, you also need to eat," I said, and the three of us went down to the kitchen where we encountered Ian, the icy man's friend. I felt embarrassed – they saw us arguing, well, everyone did.

"Hello, Alana. I suppose she is your sister," Ian said.

"Yes, she's Lucía. Lucía, meet Ian," I said, and they greeted each other.

"Christopher asked me to take care of his problem. I will help her so that she doesn't marry someone she doesn't want to. But for that, I need to know everything," Ian said.

"Well, let's get something to eat. If you want, you can join us," I offered.

"Yes, let's go," the four of us went to the kitchen and quickly had dinner. Lucía told Ian everything – the man they want her to marry is named Lionel Torres. He is a widower with no children, which is why he wanted to marry my sister. He needs a young woman to give him children, and he offered the Rodríguez family a huge sum to marry her.

"Well, with this information, I will start working. For now, don't leave the mansion. You can study online while everything unfolds. I can talk to the university director, and everything will be sorted out," Ian said.

"Thank you, Ian," my sister said, and I noticed she was blushing a bit.

"It's a pleasure. Now, if you excuse me, beautiful ladies, I'll take my leave," Ian said and left.

"I think your aunt just had her heart stolen," I told my little one, and he smiled.

"What nonsense you say," Lucía said, feeling embarrassed.

"Well, let's go. I have to read a story to this beautiful prince and put him to bed," I said, carrying my little one.

"I want to sleep with you and Daddy," my little one said.

"Tonight, I won't sleep with Daddy. I'll accompany your aunt instead," I said, and he looked at me sadly.

"Don't you want him anymore?" my baby asked.

"No, my little one, it's not that. Your aunt is scared, and tonight I'll stay with her so that she won't be afraid," I said, looking at my sister, who supported me.

"Okay, I'll accompany you so you won't be afraid anymore, and tomorrow we'll sleep with Daddy," my little one said.

"Alright, you'll be the prince who takes care of us tonight, and tomorrow we'll sleep with your daddy," I said, walking to the room where my sister would stay.

In the room, my little prince fell asleep quickly while I embraced him.

"I don't want you to have more problems with your husband because of me, Alana. It's better if I leave tomorrow," Lucía said, feeling ashamed.

"Don't worry, it wasn't your fault. Mr. Ice Man was in a bad mood, and when he shouted at me, it reminded me of our father, so I let out all the frustration I felt towards Christopher. But don't worry, tomorrow, I'll talk to him," I said, looking at my beautiful sleeping baby.

"Well, if we have more problems because of me, I'll leave, okay?" Lucía said.

"Don't worry, that won't happen. Now let's sleep. I have to wake up early to take this prince to school and go to the university," I said, cuddling my little one.

"Finally, Alana, you have the happiness you deserve, and this child will bring you much joy," Lucía said.

"I hope so. Now go to sleep, you also have to start planning the online classes and at what time they will be," I said.

"Well, you're right," the three of us fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up and Lucía was already dressed. I was going to prepare my little one for school, but she said she would do it while I got ready to leave. So I entered the room I share with my husband, thinking he was asleep. However, as soon as I entered, his arms wrapped around me and he hugged me tightly to his chest. I didn't know what to do; I was completely paralyzed. In his arms, I felt safe, but he yelled at me loudly last night, and that upset me.
