Chapter 1

A Deanna no le gustaba nada lo que Harry le estaba proponiendo. Tenía que estar loco para tener semejante idea.

—Lo que me estás diciendo no tiene ningún sentido. ¿Te golpeaste la cabeza antes de venir?

—Lo sé, pero necesitamos tu ayuda. No sé a quién más pedírselo.

La novia de Harry, Laura, no decía nada, pero se estaba poniendo cada vez más nerviosa.

La situación de ambos no era buena. Estaban estudiando todavía, eran jóvenes, estaban locamente enamorados, pero se descuidaron. Laura había confirmado su embarazo apenas tres días atrás.

—Créeme que los entiendo, Harry, pero nadie va a creérselo. Ni siquiera me conocen en tu familia.

—Pero hablé con mi hermano y ha accedido. Por favor, Deanna, ayúdanos.

Laura se atrevió a intervenir; tenía los ojos llenos de lágrimas.

—No te pediríamos esto si no fuera algo tan importante para nosotros. Nuestras familias son muy estrictas al respecto. No dejarán que Harry se case conmigo si su hermano mayor aún está soltero. Y mi familia no me permitirá que conserve el bebé si no estoy casada.

Ver a Laura tan angustiada hizo que Deanna comenzara a dudar.

—No puedo creer que hasta el día de hoy continúen con esas reglas tan antiguas. Pero no conozco a tu hermano mayor más que por fotografía.

La propuesta con la que habían llegado era simple: para que Harry y Laura pudieran casarse, Daniel, que había enviudado cinco años atrás, tenía que volver a contraer matrimonio. Deanna era la mejor amiga de Harry y la única opción que les quedaba.

—Ni yo tampoco lo creo. Parece que continuamos viviendo en la Edad Media. Es todo lo que se me ocurrió para solucionarlo, y Daniel está dispuesto también.

—Pero ¿qué va a decir tu familia? ¿Estarán de acuerdo? ¿Solo voy a aparecerme un día y anunciarles que soy la futura esposa de tu hermano?

—Eso podemos verlo sobre la marcha. Lo importante es que se casen lo antes posible; luego lo haremos nosotros y podremos tener a nuestro bebé.

Deanna tenía que estar tan loca como Harry porque toda esta idea demente comenzaba a resultarle viable. Tenía mucho cariño por su amigo, y ver a la pobre Laura tan angustiada por su bebé en camino la terminó por decidir.

—Bien, pero…

—¿En verdad, Deanna? ¡Esto es genial!

—Espera, Harry…

—¡Nos has salvado, amiga! ¡Eres la mejor! ¡Laura, vamos a casarnos!

—¡Harry! Espera, por favor… Al menos preséntame a tu hermano primero.

—¡Claro! Arreglaré una cena para que puedas conocerlo. Solo nosotros cuatro.

Laura se puso a llorar sin consuelo; estaba tan feliz que no podía parar. Harry la abrazaba y la besaba en el rostro con mucho cariño, tratando de consolarla. En verdad esos dos estaban muy enamorados, daban ternura. Era una pena que tuvieran que llegar a idear un plan tan descabellado para poder seguir juntos.

Esto le hizo pensar a Deanna que se había metido en la boca del lobo. ¿Qué clase de familia tiene este tipo de tradiciones y las respeta a rajatabla? Pero no podía negarse ante semejante pedido. Conocía a Harry desde que comenzó a estudiar en la universidad de arte. Enseguida se hicieron compañeros, compinches y terminaron como buenos amigos.

A Laura le costó un poco al principio aceptarla como amiga de su prometido, pero con el correr del tiempo se dio cuenta de que se querían como hermanos. Comenzaron a compartir mucho los tres juntos a pesar de tener orígenes tan diferentes.

Harry y Laura provenían de familias adineradas, élite tradicional con generaciones completas de profesionales exitosos. En cambio, Deanna se había criado con su madre y su abuela, y era la primera en toda su familia en pisar una universidad.

De hecho, tenía un trabajo de medio tiempo en una tienda de ropa para poder solventar algunos gastos y no cargar tanto a su madre con los costos de enviarla a estudiar a la capital. Deanna había mostrado tener un talento natural para el canto, quizá heredado de su padre a quien no conoció, y ambas mujeres decidieron hacer un esfuerzo más para darle la posibilidad de que tuviera una educación superior.

En cambio, Harry y Laura no tenían que preocuparse por trivialidades como el dinero. Aunque a él le costó bastante convencer a su padre de dejarlo estudiar música en vez de ser abogado, médico o empresario como su hermano, Daniel ya se encargaba del negocio familiar, lo que permitió que fueran más flexibles con su hijo menor.

—Mi familia no puede enterarse —les dijo Deanna.

—¿Por qué? —le preguntó Laura.

—Solo somos nosotras tres. No quiero que piensen que este matrimonio durará toda la vida y luego me vean divorciada. Les prometí que primero terminaría la carrera.

—No te preocupes, amiga, lo mantendremos lo más discreto que podamos.

El bebé que venía en camino llegaría en menos de ocho meses, así que tenían poco tiempo antes de que comenzara a notarse en Laura. Debían acelerar todo. Una vez que Deanna y Daniel concluyeran la boda, iban a fugarse “románticamente” para sellar su amor. Volverían después de que el niño hubiese nacido y ya nadie podría decir nada al respecto.

Entonces Deanna y Daniel declararían que no eran compatibles y se separarían, como si no hubiese ocurrido nada. Era lo más normal del mundo, ¿verdad? Muchas parejas se disolvían después de convivir un tiempo porque descubrían que en realidad no se llevaban tan bien. Nadie saldría herido o perjudicado y Deanna ganaría un sobrino o sobrina a quien mimar.

—Llamaré a mi hermano para contarle las buenas nuevas y ver cuándo puede reunirse con nosotros.

—¿Sabe quién soy?

—Bueno, sabe que le preguntaría a una amiga de la universidad. No tenía sentido decirle que eras tú porque tampoco te conoce.

—Ya veo.

—Pero no debes preocuparte por eso, seguro le caerás bien. No es tan “difícil” como todos dicen.

—¿A qué te refieres con “difícil”?

—Mi cuñado es un poco… especial. Pero Harry tiene razón, no es tan malo una vez que lo conoces —trató de alivianar las cosas Laura.

—¿Por qué de pronto siento que me estoy metiendo en un terrible problema?

Harry y Laura se miraron y sonrieron. Era cierto que Daniel era algo complicado en ciertos aspectos, pero era una persona de buen corazón. Quizá un poco estricto y diametralmente opuesto a la personalidad alegre y despreocupada de Deanna, estaba dispuesto a ayudarlos por el bien de su futuro sobrino. Aunque había hecho un escándalo cuando se enteró, no permitiría que nada le pasara a su hermano, a su cuñada y mucho menos al niño.

—Por cierto, ¿sabes que Daniel tiene tres hijos, verdad?

—¡¡¿QUÉ?!!

—Sí: Ethan, Naomi y Jonathan.

—¿No eran los hijos de tu hermana?

—No, Susan aún no se casa.

—¡Oh, por Dios!

—Serás una madrastra genial.

—No tires de la soga, niño, no vaya a ser que se rompa.

—No puedes arrepentirte ahora, ya dijiste que sí.

—Pruébame.

Laura estaba feliz, muy feliz. Los veía pelear como si fueran dos niños pequeños y no podía evitar sentirse muy afortunada. Deanna estaba más que dispuesta a hacer esto por ellos. Iba a ser madre y el hombre que amaba se casaría con ella. Solo esperaba que todo saliera bien y Daniel se comportara como un caballero.

Esa noche salieron a cenar los tres juntos al puesto de comidas que estaba cerca de la universidad y solían frecuentar bastante. Deanna y Harry sí pudieron beber unas cervezas, demasiadas, porque acabaron la noche casi arrastrándose para llevar de vuelta a Deanna a su departamento y luego tomar un taxi.

Ya en su departamento, la “poderosa Dean”, como Harry la llamaba, cayó como una roca sobre la cama. No tenía idea de todo lo que estaba por vivir solo por intentar ayudar a sus amigos.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
