Paid To Pretend, Destined To Love REGRET
Rachel did not realise she had reached home until she found herself standing in front of her apartment door with her keys in her hand. The journey back from work had passed in a blur. She remembered boarding the bus, remembered greeting an elderly woman who sat beside her, and remembered staring absent-mindedly through the window, but nothing else. Her thoughts had refused to leave Joseph's office. She unlocked the door quietly and stepped inside. The apartment was peaceful, and she was grateful for it. She slipped off her shoes, placed her handbag on the table and stood still for a minutes. She removed her phone from the handbag she dropped to call Benjamin. He texted her earlier that he wanted to go to the groceries store. He tried calling his number twice but he refused to pick. She decided to drop her phone and she sat down on the bed. Her eyes fell on the small velvet box still tucked inside her handbag. She reached for it almost immediately, smiling before she even realised she

For a few moments, neither of them spoke. Oddly enough, the silence did not feel awkward especially to Rachel. It felt peaceful because she did not even want to initiate any conversation. Joseph was the first to speak."I don't think I've ever asked a member of staff to stay behind after work."Rachel smiled. "I guessed.""You thought you were in trouble.""A little.""I'm sorry."She shook her head. "It's alright."A small smile appeared on Joseph's face. He had never found ordinary conversations interesting before. Yet, sitting across from Rachel, he realised he didn't need an important reason to talk to her."I've been meaning to give you the bracelet since this morning," he said. "The day just kept getting in the way, and…” he stuttered, “erm…I don't want people to see us together. You know what I mean?” "Yes, I'm glad you waited," Rachel replied. "And if you'd sent someone else to give it to me, I wouldn't have known it was from Abuela herself."Joseph looked at her. "She speaks

Joseph had never given much thought to work days because it was always routine, but this Monday was different. As Antonio drove through the quiet streets, Joseph sat in the back seat with a small velvet box resting in his left hand. He had opened it more times than he could remember over the weekend, only to close it again. The silver bracelet inside was simple, but Abuela had insisted that Rachel should have it. He had almost forgotten it on the bookshelf where he had kept it earlier. Joseph replayed the conversation he had with Abuela over the weekend and smiled at the memory. "Good morning, sir," Antonio said, glancing at him through the rear-view mirror. "Morning, Antonio. How are you today?” Antonio hesitated for a moment. " I'm fine, sir. I trust you're fine this morning. You seem to be in a good mood today." Joseph looked out of the window. "Do I?" "A little." A faint smile appeared on Joseph's face. "If you say so" Antonio did not ask another question. After years of w
Paid To Pretend, Destined To Love ABUELA'S PLACE
The weekend arrived more quietly than Joseph expected. For the first time in several weeks, there were no meetings waiting for him, no reports that demanded immediate attention, and no calls from the board asking him to solve problems before the new week began. He had woken early out of habit, and spent part of the morning reviewing documents he could easily have left until Monday. By noon, he finally closed his laptop and leaned back in his chair. The house was as orderly as ever. One of the domestic staff had already cleared the breakfast table, the gardener was trimming the hedges outside, and the cook had begun preparing lunch. He looked through the wide windows of the sitting room without really seeing the garden beyond them. His thoughts wandered from one thing to another until they settled on someone he had not visited in far too long. Without giving himself the chance to change his mind, he reached for his phone and called one of his driver. "Antonio," he said after the man a
Paid To Pretend, Destined To Love HOME
Joseph's car rolled through the security gate just after sunset. The guard on duty greeted him with a respectful nod before the gates opened, allowing the car to continue along the paved driveway towards the main house. Warm lights glowed through the large windows. The house itself was extravagant. There were wide open spaces, tall windows, polished marble floors and carefully chosen furniture that screamed luxury. Fresh flowers decorated the entrance hall, the garden had been watered before evening, and every part of the property showed the careful attention of the people employed to look after it. A housekeeper managed the home during the day, the cook had already prepared dinner, and the domestic staff quietly carried out their routines without needing Joseph's instructions. As Joseph stepped inside, one of the house staff politely informed him that dinner was ready whenever he wished to eat. He thanked her with a small smile and said he would have it later before making his way to
Paid To Pretend, Destined To Love WORK AND PRIVACY
The conversation with Torres gradually faded into the background as the week moved forward. Rachel returned to her normal routine and focused on the things that demanded her attention each day. Whatever curiosity she had felt after leaving his office slowly gave way to deadlines, meetings, and the ordinary rhythm of work. By Thursday morning, she had almost stopped thinking about it altogether. The day began quietly. The weather outside was pleasant, and sunlight filtered through the large windows of the building. Employees arrived in small groups, exchanging greetings as they settled into their departments. The atmosphere was relaxed in the way it often was before the workload reached its peak. Rachel had spent part of the morning reviewing information from the previous day and helping a colleague resolve a minor issue that had been causing confusion between two departments. It was not difficult work, but it required patience, and she was relieved when the matter was finally resolved

Joseph's gaze lifted. He stared at her attentively."It's just me and my little brother now," she continued. "He's... not well. He has a heart condition."Her fingers twisted together unconsciously."He needs surgery. I've been saving. But apparently, my dad didn't die alone. His death brought more

Rachel woke up early, before her alarm went off. For a few seconds, she stayed still in bed, staring at the ceiling while her mind adjusted to the new day. Then reality came back to her slowly. Benjamín was home now. He needed rest, medication, and constant care. And she still had to go to work. No
