Episode 14

Maya:

I was on my way to my godmother's house when I met Emily and she invited me to talk.

"Hey Maya, what a bad friend you are. You haven't called me in so long!"

"I'm sorry, Emy. So many things have happened in my life. How are you?"

"I'm terrible. I broke up with Taylor. Can you believe he defended that jerk Josh? He sided with him, saying that it was your fault for not giving yourself to him, that you gave space for another woman to enter the relationship."

"They are two scoundrels, my friend. Really now, I'm here without a job and without a boyfriend."

"Just wait a little, friend. When I recover my assets, you'll come work with me at the company."

"What's a physiotherapist going to do in a company?"

"That jerk Taylor got me fired, can you believe it?"

"Having the best friend he has, it's not hard to believe. But I have to tell you a lot of things. Look at my hand, I'm married. I married Nathan Ford Moore."

"Wait a minute, isn't that Josh's billionaire boss?"

"Exactly. One day, when my dad kicked me out of the house, my godmother told me to look for a lawyer, and I had an unfortunate encounter with Josh, and he ended up pushing me, and guess who saved me? After that, we became very close friends and he decided to help me get revenge on Josh and my father. I just had to marry him, as his grandmother asked him to marry. She's on her deathbed, terminal stage cancer, it was one of her last requests, and he didn't want to get married right away, so we made a deal. He would help me, and I would help him."

"Wow, what a husband you managed to snag! Because he's a catch. So, are you guys married? Are you doing well?"

(I tell her everything we went through until the night before)

"Why are you so distraught? You only spent one night with your husband."

"You don't understand, Emily. I wanted to give myself to the man I loved on my wedding night."

"But you don't feel anything for the hunk Nathan?"

"I like him, he's fun, companionable, a good friend, kisses well, he does everything to please me."

"Oh friend, you're in love with him."

"But of course not, we're great friends."

"Repeat everything you said about him while looking in the mirror. You'll see the love shining in your eyes. Win over your love and be happy. Forget this revenge story, it's not worth it, friend."

"But of course it's worth it, Emily. I need to get back everything they took from me, and Josh has to pay me for making a fool of me."

"Alright, but live your marriage, win over this man, be happy too."

When I was about to answer, my phone rang. It was the hospital.

"May I speak with Mrs. Maya Brook Ford?"

"Speaking. Who would like to speak with her?"

"This is Alicia, responsible for the central hospital where Mrs. Amber Ford is admitted."

"Oh my God! Did something happen to Grandma?"

"No, ma'am, quite the opposite. She had a great improvement, and the doctor authorized her return home. She called her house and asked her employee for your number, ma'am. We are calling because she wants you to come get her."

"Me?"

"Yes, she asked us to call her granddaughter, your grandson Nathan's wife. I'll pass the phone to her."

"Maya, my dear, as you can see, I've recovered. I can spend some time at my house, I hope for the rest of my life. I know Nathan is a very busy man. Could you come pick me up?"

"Of course, Grandma, I'm on my way."

"Where are you going, Maya?"

"I'm going to pick up Nathan's grandmother from the hospital. It seems she's been discharged and wants me to pick her up. He'll be so happy."

"I'll go with you. I can help you."

Emily, we went to the hospital, and when we arrived, I introduced her as my best friend while she helped Grandma pack up to go back. I went to the department where the doctor in charge was, who went over all the care with me and also the final bill with Grandma's medical expenses, and they were enormous, and unfortunately, my resources were not enough to pay for this stay. So there was no other alternative but to call Nathan. I would love to surprise him when I got home, but would he really give me this huge amount of money without asking why?

"Maya, is there a problem?"

"Nathan, I have some financial issues, I need a huge amount of money. As soon as I get my assets back, I'll return it to you. But could you get me $385,000?"

"Is it something very serious, Maya? Remember what we talked about last night? Don't act alone."

"I'm not going to do anything wrong, Nathan. I just need this amount."

"Alright, Maya. I was being stupid; I should have given you our joint account card already. It's here in the office. Give me your information, and I'll make the transfer as soon as I get home. I'll give you the card, and you don't have to explain what you spend it on. You're my wife, and I have to cover your expenses."

"When I get home, I'll explain what I used the money for. You'll understand."

"I trust you, Maya. And it's not such an exorbitant amount."

"For someone like me, it's a huge amount of money."

It doesn't take long, and the money appears in my account, and I settle the hospital expenses. Then we return, and Emily and I take Grandma home. We're going to make a surprise dinner for Nathan. Grandma insisted that Emily stay; she liked her a lot...
