His eyes are cold, but I feel hot from the fire that ignites after my words. Did I realize that I was walking on a knife's edge every time I opened my mouth? Yes. But I wasn't going to play the role of bait, meekly waiting to be rescued.

I freeze at the intercom when I see my neighbor standing there. What the hell does he want now? Has he decided to ruin my nerves again?

I take a deep breath and ask sharply: — Why? What exactly am I supposed to do out there? — I need to show you something, — hisses my attractive yet unbelievably annoying neighbor. — Show it through the camera, — I say, crossing my arms. — I physically can’t do that. So come outside… — I’m not going anywhere… — Fine, your choice. Then I’ll call the police…

She has enchanted me, eaten into me, grown inside me so much that now I can only tear my heart out. But will that help me when I am without her, as if I were without air?

Zoe Lezcano is a city girl with big dreams. At just 22, her greatest goal is to finish her business degree and work alongside her father to save the company he spent his life building. But one day, the words she feared most turned her world upside down: “You have to marry Mr. Montiel. It’s the only way to pay off our debts.” Now the question is: Who is Mr. Montiel?

That is, until one night when their drinks were tampered with and fate played a cruel trick on them, unexpectedly making her the mother of the daughter of the most arrogant man she could have ever met.

My problem with my secretary? Pretending that I couldn’t stand her was the way I expressed how much she mattered to me; I never would have imagined that someone like her could make me feel so much.
