Morning came and Abril woke up to get her something for the headache she was about to feel, he kissed her head and left for the kitchen
Isabella woke up with a headache and he was there on time
"Do you remember what happened?"
"I remember going to the bar with you and they gave me a drink and that's it," she said
"Abril, did I get drunk?"
"Just a little," he said and smiled
Night came
"You can't leave a day in my shoes," he said but Isabella was ready to go out with him again
They went but today wasn't a great day, Abril met Marcelo's men and he was beaten
"Please stop it, please" Isabella cried out
"Who's this lovely girl?" One of Marcelo's men said
"Leave her alone!!!!" He shouted
"Oh I will for now but you have a week to give Marcelo something," he said and left
Isabella and he went home
"Who were they?" She asked treating his wounds
"No one important"
"Abril tell me they might not spare you the next time," she said with tears in her eyes
He told her everything
"You'll look for work tomorrow and start paying them with the little you earn," she said
"Where am I going to find a job?" He said with a mocking tone
"I am serious Abril do you know how scared I was? I can't let anything happen to you, you're smart even if you don't get a high-position job we will take what we're given and you'll pay them with what you earn" she said with seriousness that he couldn't refute
"Stop confusing me, don't give me hope, don't make me wish for it, don't make me want it and please don't make me fight for it. It's forbidden, what I feel is a forbidden love and I know it but what if my heart still wants it? Abril remember this cannot be" he said in his mind as he just stared at her
Abril called Clara and told her about Marcelo's men finding him
"I will send him what I have earned," she said and he told her about finding a job
Isabella called Mira and asked her if she had a job for Abril
"I can't appoint him at a higher level, he will have to start from somewhere, he will be working under the production department"
"It's fine," Isabella said and informed Abril
"Does it have to be at my mom's company?"
"Abril although your results are good, you have zero working experience and a bad record, please let's take this opportunity and prove ourselves," Isabella said and he agreed
He was to start in two days
Isabella made him food and accompanied him to his first day at work
"Hey control your temper, be hardworking, and just focus on your job. Here I made food for you and freshly made juice. Good luck" she said and he smiled
She waved him goodbye and asked him to go inside with a smile and left. He was happy
"First day at work?"
"Yes"
"My name is Nick, I must say you have a lovely wife, she had time to even escort you here"
Abril just smiled and went to work, he was bored he avoided trouble when others tried to bring it
During break time he went somewhere to eat and he smiled thinking about her
Nick tasted his drink and was amazed and asked him to bring him some when coming next time
He went home and Isabella welcomed him and asked him about his work and he told her everything
"So you have a new friend"
"No he's just forcing himself on me," he said
"Hey don't talk like that," she asked about his schedule
The next day she added an extra cup to give to his friend
She called him during his break and she asked about him
A month came and he was paid his first salary it was good and Isabella was so happy for him
"I can't believe your brother has been gone for a month"
"Yh do you miss him?" Abril asked
"Yes," she said and his heart pinched
"What were you expecting Abril" his thoughts
Nathan called Isabella and told her about their return in a week
She told Abril about it
"I guess things are going to change then," he said and left to work
Isabella called her mom
"Isa he's right tho, you can't talk to him like you used to there have to be boundaries, you can't spend hours talking with him, you can't joke around with him and you can't go to the office to see him"
