Lara always wanted to go to a medical school and become world"s best gynecologist so she can help women like her mother and help world to reduce maternal mortality figures. This was her biggest dream, but her bridge of this dream was only half built before it got destroyed by someone who she loved dearly.
Her mother died while giving her birth because of excessive blood loss and could have been saved with proper medical care but there weren"t much skilled doctors to stop the blood and that lead to her mother"s death on operation table. Her father was very upset and depressed after his beloved"s death. He missed his wife. He didn"t know how to take care of a new born and was in a very confused state of mind as to whether he"ll be able to take care of her or not. He even considered an option of giving her for adoption but then thought that his wife will not appreciate this action of his and decided to raise her into a beautiful girl.
According to what Lara have heard from her father, her mother Stella Gomez was a people"s person. She had that friendly aura around her. Everyone loved her and there was no enemy of her. She can start a conversation anywhere and with anyone. This was how they met. Her father Lucas Gomez on the other hand was of shy nature and of cold and aloof personality. They both lived in Alamo and they met near the lake. Lucas was shy and wanted to change his way when he saw her. He was that creepy kind of lover who stalks the one they love but never have the courage to confess.
One day he saw that her scarf was stuck on the branch because of strong winds and now she was not able to get a hold of it as it was very high and she was quite short compared to other girls.
Alamo is a small town and everyone knew everyone"s names so it was not difficult for her to say that it was "shy Lucas" standing there. She and her friends gave him this nickname because of his shy nature. She asked him for help and he did so. From then on they started conversating and eventually ended up marrying each other.
From the photos of her mother she can tell that her mother was always happy and there was not a single picture where you cannot find her toothy smile which easily attracted people. Lara got this smile from her mother. Her dad never forget to mention how similar she looked liked her mother and how he loved her mother"s smile and always feel nostalgic when she smiles.
Lucas was Spanish and Stella"s ancestors were migrants from France so her whole family knew French well. Lara learned Spanish from her father and french from her grandparents, Stella"s father and mother. Lucas"s parents died a natural death 2 years after Lara was born.
Oliver"s family were Italian and so she learned a bit of Italian too from his mother. But she have always had an interest in learning Hindi so she joined Yoga cla.s.ses and learned Hindi from her tutor. So overall she knew English, Spanish, French, Italian and Hindi. Everyone in school were very impressed with her knowledge of five languages and her accent was also very perfect with each and every language.
Her dad was small scale silver dealer. When his wife was pregnant he finally got a chance to extend his business and after Lara was born, there was no going back. They shifted to Los Angeles from Alamo for convenience and easy access to his business. His parents didn"t want to leave the peaceful atmosphere of Alamo so they decided to stay back. Her father"s business grew rapidly after that and now he was not only a silver dealer but gold too. His company was international and after 7 years in LA, when Lara was 12 he had opened his own jewelry store too. Many in his field said that this type of luck was of one in a million. They all found that G.o.d was very generous on him. One magazine t.i.tle also read "Lucky millionaire"s secret: his daughter" with a picture of 12 years old Lara with her dad.
Oliver was born rich. It was all kudos to his grandfather"s hard work. After his company"s profits took off in Italy, he decided to expand it in international market and just because of his hard work they were able to turn into a famous MNC. Their head office was built in LA and so he shifted here with his wife and only son. Oliver was also the only son of Marcus and Sofia Romano so there were no internal fights for the position of CEO.
