Chapter 14: Memories part 14 - Change of plans

In other part; at the White mansion; Alice's mother, Emilia White, was devising a plan to get her daughter to accept the marriage commitment.

"What am I going to do? The first and the one that was supposed to be the only step has already been completed, and now they tell me this" -Emilia thought seriously- "If it weren't for my daughter's opposition, the plan would it would be finished".

Ariana, Emilia's right hand and most trusted servant, was heading to Emilia's office to give her Alice's school year report number 4 and when she was about to open the door, hears a loud noise and gets a little scared, then listens that the noise repeats quickly and decides to open the door slowly.

"Mrs. … Mrs. Emilia, is everything okay?"

Emilia answered yes quickly, but the slight wounds on her hand said otherwise. Ariana points to the wounds on her hand and Emilia speaks.

"It is nothing serious, the parents of Prince Ramírez said that they will not accept that the commitment be made if Alice does not want to, and my daughter clearly refuses the commitment"

Emilia hits the table again and after a couple of seconds she calms down.

"And tell me, what did you come for?" -Said Emilia seriously-

"I came to give you the report 4 of this school year, about her daughter" -Ariana said seriously, while she handed Emilia a folder with photos-

Emilia opens folder 4 and reviews her photos, while Ariana recounts her events.

"As you can see, her daughter kept spying on the plebeian called Rodrigo, I'm afraid she won't forget him easily"

After saying that, Emilia hit the table again.

"However, and as mentioned in previous reports, there is another girl who shows interest in the plebeian, her name is Caroline. She is the closest to him in high school, they eat together, talk in class and she always looks for him, she was also able to slap her daughter after she spoke ill of the plebeian after noticing my presence. It is more than clear that her daughter acted that way to go unnoticed by you, but what Caroline did was not acted. "

Emilia looked with interest the photo where Caroline's face appeared.

"Well, well, so her name is Caroline. This girl is likely to give us a hand without even

knowing it." -Emilia said seriously with a slight smile on her face-

"What do you mean, Mrs. Emilia?" -Asked Ariana-

"I mean that this girl will be useful to achieve my plan" -said Emilia while thought- "My daughter, I do this for you, you will see the disappointment with your own eyes"

"I have already devised a new plan, these will be your new orders. Keep monitoring my daughter and bringing me reports as you have done so far. " -Said Emilia with a superior tone-

"Yes, Mrs. Emilia" -said Ariana firmly- "But ... Could I ask you? What part you will do?"

"My good Ariana, I have the hardest part of all"

Ariana looked at Emilia in suspense, waiting for her to say the part that she will do.

"I won't do anything" -said Emilia with a slight smile on her face-

"I ... I see ... wait? Nothing? Won't you do anything?" -Said Ariana with confusion-

"That's right, maybe my answer will leave you confused, but the reason is simple, Caroline is there, and from what you told me it seems that my daughter has a rival, and she has the advantage, interfering would only make everything that I think will happen does not happen, so I will contain my desire to act and will do nothing. "

Ariana understood what Emilia was saying, and didn't ask her more and she withdrew.

Emilia sighed and said.

"Well, since that is settled, there is another important matter that I must attend to ... who would say that tomorrow it would have been 10 years, since he left us" -Emilia said, looking at a framed photo that was under her desk- "Erick ..."

Emilia hit the framed photo hard and the protective glass shattered.

"You will pay for what you did damn ..."

Emilia received a call from one of her servants.

"Yes Joseph? What happens?"

"Mrs. Emilia, I inform you that we have not found anything yet, there is still no trace of Erick."

"Damn, we've been searching for almost 10 years and, nothing? Keep searching, and call me when you find something important about Erick" -Emilia said annoyed and then hung up the call-

Liz, who was passing near Emilia's office, was frightened by hearing her screams and knocks, and slowly opened the door to see if everything was alright. Emilia says yes, but part of what Liz heard left her in doubt.

"This ... boss ... I don't want to be nosy or anything like that, but ... Who is Erick?"

"Erick? Of course, he only came the only day you don't work ... he's my ex-husband ... and Alice's father..."
