The strong echo reverberated in the hallway of Jacob Wilson's house, so much so that Myriam was startled and stopped at the door of the family's office, she had been looking for her husband and managed to hear her father-in-law's request. Her heart sinking, she sighed deeply. She pretended not to have heard anything, she went downstairs and sat down again in the armchair in the living room, as if nothing had happened, but when she heard the word children, she remembered that at one point he thought that if he had a son he could strengthen her marriage, however, God did not give her that opportunity and she never got pregnant, but the problem was not hers. Over the years

Several days had passed after learning of Myriam's alleged infidelity, for Raymond's family, she was guilty. The young woman seemed to hear whispers everywhere, pointing her out as an immoral woman, however, although she did not share the bedroom with him, she decided to stay in the same house, and prove her innocence.In the company where she worked, they found out about the pregnancy, but there was no problem, until that morning when she entered her office and found an envelope on her desk.Myriam opened it and read the word: Dismissal, frowned, thinking that the cause was the scandal, and went to her boss's office."Mr. Hamilton, I want to know the reasons for my dismissal," she said without daring to pass.The man adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat.“As you know, we've had low income for months and we have to reduce our staff,” he said, waving for him to come in and sit down. “We know very well that you deserve better compensation, but we are going to declare bankruptcy,

“How do you feel?” Elsa questioned the next day, caressing her friend's face."Better," she answered in a brittle voice. “Thanks for saving my baby” she blinked and shed several tears.“You must be calm, and work less,” said the specialist, “I warned you that your pregnancy was at risk”Myriam pressed her lips together and caressed her belly."You're right, but if I don't do what they ask me, I can lose my job," she said, sobbing."And if you keep working like that, you could lose your baby, think about it," Elsa recommended, "I'll discharge you," she reported, and left the room to check on other patients.Myriam sighed deeply and closed her eyes, but then she remembered that she had to go to work, she picked up her cell phone that a nurse had given her a few minutes before, and noticed that she had an email, she felt a chill when she saw that it was her boss. Her hand went to her mouth as she realized she had been fired.“Cannot be!” she exclaimed with tears streaming down her face,

Isis laughed at the news."I'm dying to see Gerald's face when you do it," he said, tilting his lips, "you should teach him a lesson," he proposed, "well, you can go now."Myriam smiled."Do you need help with the little one?"Isis shook her head."I don't want you to make any effort, I don't want any trouble," he reported, "I'll ask one of the clerks to take you to your room, good afternoon.""May he rest," Myriam said, and left.With an advance that Isis gave her of her salary, Myriam decided to go buy a dress, the ones she had, no longer fit her. If she had to face Gerald Lennox, she had to do it on equal terms, she was not going to allow that man, with a heart of stone, to continue to humiliate her.She went to the mall and saw a beautiful and elegant red dress, it was the one to look sober and elegant, and she also thought that, on some occasions, after giving birth, she could wear it again.****"Good morning," Gerald arrived at the company, waving as he got out of the elevator

"Since the day I discovered my ex-husband with another, I decided to change and not be the same fool as before, no man will humiliate me or mistreat me again, and that includes you Gerald Lennox" she expressed raising her chin. “It isn't true!” he exclaimed. “You're obsessed with me, that's why you don't move away from my family, and you look for excuses to get closer” he exposed tilting his lips. "What I was missing" Myriam mentioned indignantly, putting her hand on her waist. " The only reason to be close to his family is Jeremy" she replied. "I hope that when he grows up he won't be like you, he's noble, tender, with a good heart" she assured, and her eyes filled with tenderness. "The only bad thing is that he sees you as his idol, he admires you, I hope he doesn't follow your example," she recommended. Those words were like stabs to Gerald's heart, he looked at his little brother who came back smiling with the soccer ball. "Go away," he ordered Myriam. She waved her hand and s
