Chapter: Red RosesNicole opened her eyes wide in disbelief at the audacity of that man. She pushed him and quickly got up."Bruno had the ability to easily get on her nerves.""Enough with the games. I was trying to wake up Santi to give him the medication, he moved abruptly, and I lost my balance.""Okay, but don't get angry," he said, raising both hands in a gesture of surrender. He couldn't help but laugh, finding amusement in how easily she blushed."I think it's time for you to leave," she said sternly.At that moment, the little boy woke up, and Nicole hurried to give him the medication."I've asked them to bring me clothes so I can go to the office. I'll only attend the meeting and then come back to be with my son." He was worried about the child's health.Nicole frowned as she looked at him, but seeing how her son clung to his father, she couldn't refuse."Fine, Santi won't go to school until he gets better. The nanny will stay with him, and after I return from the corporate office, I'll take h

Chapter: If you wanted to kiss meNicole felt extremely annoyed by Bruno's childish behavior. She didn't find it funny at all. She stood up and approached him curtly."I don't see the humor anywhere."Bruno seemed stunned by her reaction. "I'm really sorry. It was very amusing to me to see your face and Dante's. They were worthy of a photograph, hahaha. It was truly epic.""Why did you call me then?" she asked, sternly. He tried to compose himself."There will be a meeting tomorrow, and I will introduce you to the executives. So, be prepared because you will speak in front of them, and they will probably bombard you with questions to make sure you are qualified for the position. I know perfectly well that you are, but you need to prove it to them.""Alright, I'm very good at speaking, so I don't consider it a problem.""Perfect, then I'll see you tomorrow. I'll come down for a while with my son before you leave." He desperately wanted to win Santi's love.Nicole still wasn't used to Bruno referring to Santi as his son

Chapter: A relationship?Bruno found it amusing to see her blush like that. Her gaze had been quite evident, but he couldn't help it. Her breasts were much larger now, as were her hips, which made her waist look really narrow. She had become a woman who drew attention wherever she went. He knew it would be difficult to win her over again, but not impossible. His son and she were his family, and he wanted them with him.In the afternoon, Dante entered his office, and Bruno noticed something off about him. He no longer went out partying like before, nor had Bruno seen women parading through his office. No matter how much he asked, he couldn't get Dante to reveal what was going on. There was something going on, and Bruno was determined to find out."Hey, brother, did you finish the documents for tomorrow's meeting?""That's right. Are you going to introduce Nicole as the new head of the design department?" Asked, genuinely appreciating her and still considering her his sister-in-law."Yes, I'll do it tomorrow

Chapter: DadNicole felt happy to see that her son was quickly adapting to her family. He went from one set of arms to another, and everyone was delighted with him. They ate amidst laughter and jokes, and for the first time in a long time, Nicole felt truly free.After a while, she heard the doorbell ring. Nicole stood up and headed towards the door to see who it was. When she opened it, she was surprised to find Bruno standing in front of her. He had his arms crossed over his chest, wearing a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves and jeans. Nicole looked him up and down, realizing that he still stirred up the same emotions in her. She cleared her mind to be able to speak."What are you doing here?" she asked."I came to meet my son," Bruno replied."I don't think it's the right time. I need to talk to Santi to explain things.""Santi! You chose a beautiful name for our son. We'll talk to him right away. I'm not willing to wait even a single day longer. Are you doing this with me, or do I do it alone

Chapter: IdenticalRené trembled with the fury he felt. He couldn't believe that his son was capable of mistreating and humiliating a woman the way he did with Nicole. He thought he had raised him properly, but sadly, he realized he had been mistaken."Regarding mistreating a woman, have you seen that behavior in me? I don't understand what you were thinking.""Well, it seems Nicole has already told you. It took her long enough to do so.""It wasn't Nicole. It was her parents. You know I have a long-standing friendship with Noah, and Gío Rossano is a man with a lot of power and connections that can be a thorn in your side if they set their minds to it.""What happened between Nicole and me is our business alone. No one else should interfere in our relationship. If I did things that way, there was a reason.""Enough! Nothing justifies your behavior. You forget about forcing her to come back to you and, above all, taking her son away from her.""A son who is also mine, and she kept him hidden from me, dep

Chapter: Proven MaternityThe couple felt very nervous, their attention completely focused on the doctor. Leandro was sweating profusely, trying to appear calm in front of Nicole. He was so afraid of losing her. He loved Santi as if he were his own son; he simply didn't want to lose them. The doctor's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He turned to look at him attentively, holding his breath."Taking into account the genetic structure of the mother, the alleged mother, and the distribution of the alleged analyzed markers, it has yielded a maternity index of 56,701,235 and a maternity probability of 99.998234.1%."They looked at each other completely confused, having no idea what that meant."What does that mean, doctor?" Leandro asked."It means that maternity is practically proven. It's the same result for both cases."Leandro let go of Nicole's hand and covered his face with his hands. Tears welled up uncontrollably, flowing down his cheeks. His little one with big blue eyes, the love of his life, for wh

Chapter: Grandma Herminia's decisionJuno couldn't believe it, Grandma had never dared to hit him, the culprit was that assistant who filled his head with ideas against him.“You are a disgrace! Your grandfather would be disappointed with your behavior, you are no longer a child Juno, you are a man, a grown man.”Juno put her hand to her cheek, she could see a terrible fury in Grandma's eyes."Grandma, I...""Silence! I don't want to hear your excuses, this time you have crossed the line, a line that you should never have crossed.” Herminia turned around, leaving him alone.The next few days became hell for Gia, Juno stalked her through the halls, taking advantage of any opportunity she found her alone to torment her.In the afternoon, Grandma sent her to the library to organize her correspondence, Juno took advantage of the fact that the door was open.“Well, just look, I find the whore in the library, looking for some rich man to seduce?” She asked, dripping with venom.“Don’t you have anything better to do than bother

Chapter: Beach PartyJuno couldn't sleep, he tossed and turned in bed, tormented by thoughts he knew he shouldn't have. Why her? Why couldn't he get that insignificant maid out of his head?He had beautiful women at his feet, famous models, so why the hell couldn't he get Gia out of his mind? That was the only thing he needed, that woman was like a walking curse.He put his head down on the pillow, trying to erase her image from his mind, the way she moved her hands when she spoke, how she tilted her head when a topic seemed interesting to her, and how she bit her lower lip when... ahhh, his mind continued to torment him."Damn!" He growled annoyed, then got out of bed, he needed a drink.She headed towards the kitchen, but stopped short when she heard voices. Gia was sitting on the island, with a cup of tea in her hands, talking to Lupe the cook.“The truth is that I'm dying to go to the beach. I've lived in Miami for 18 years and I've never had time to go swimming at the beach.”“I can't believe it, gir

Chapter: Zeus complexIn the morning, Grandma Herminia asked for breakfast to be served in the garden, in her favorite corner, next to the roses she grew herself."Gia, dear! Come and join me, the coffee is delicious and they've prepared some delicious pancakes that I want you to try."Gia went out into the garden, after spending the night in a room larger than the ground floor of the house where she lived before, she felt like Alice in Wonderland. The Greco mansion was a completely different world from everything she knew."Good morning, Mrs. Herminia," she greeted."Nothing of a lady!" Grandma corrected her, calling her to sit next to her. "Just Herminia, or Grandma if you prefer, tell me about yourself while we wait for my grumpy grandson to deign to come down."Gia had barely sat down when Juno's voice was heard at the door.“Now I have to meet her at breakfast too?” he growled, glaring at Gia. “Isn’t it enough that she lives here?”“Good morning to you too, dear grandson,” Grandma replied. “I see you’

Chapter: A rebellious assistantThe huge steel gate opened to allow the truck carrying Gia, Juno and Grandma Herminia to pass through. Looking through the window, Gia felt her breath catch. Huge gardens that seemed straight out of a fairy tale stretched as far as the eye could see, covered with leafy trees and beautiful rose bushes. At the end of the road they came to an imposing mansion, whose architecture combined classic and modern designs. “Welcome to your new home, dear.” Grandma smiled at Gia’s amazed expression. “What do you think?”Gia tried to speak, but couldn’t. Her eyes filled with tears at the old lady’s kindness, remembering that just a few hours earlier, she had found herself soaked in the street, with nowhere to go. “Madam…I thank you infinitely.” She finally managed to say, on the verge of tears. “No tears, Miss,” said Grandma, patting her gently on the back. “Oh, and no ma’am, I told you that you can call me Herminia, now come on, I’ll show you the house.”Juno remained silent, behind them, fee

Chapter: Fate Has a Dark HumorJuno Greco stared at the soaked girl in front of him, a smirk appearing on his lips, fate had a twisted sense of humor, he thought, as he watched the same woman who had ruined his party on the Atenea, now reduced to a quivering, wet heap."My, my, look what the rain brought us," his voice dripped with pure sarcasm. "The little devil from the yacht, now turned into a wet kitten."Gia stood up so fast she almost slipped, her eyes, though swollen from crying, sparked with fury."You're having fun, aren't you? You're happy to see me like this?" she advanced on him, completely forgetting who he was and who she was. "I stained your stupid shirt because of a damn accident and you decided to ruin my life because of it!"Juno let out a laugh as sarcastic as her gaze."You're like a wet, hurt little mouse," he looked her up and down, stopping at her soaked dress. "I almost feel sorry for you. Almost.""It's not funny, damn it!" Gia was shivering, but no longer from the cold. "Do you have any id

Chapter: Raining on wet groundGia stood there, shivering, desperately trying to keep the towel in place as she picked up her clothes from the floor, her hands shaking so much she could barely hold the garments."Look at the little bitch!" someone shouted from one of the doors that had opened. "She looks better in a towel than with clothes on!"Laughter echoed down the hallway as more neighbors came out to watch the spectacle. Gia recognized the lady from 3B, who had always given her the dirty look, holding her phone up high."This is going straight to Instagram!" the woman exclaimed maliciously. "The true face of young girls today!""Please," Gia whispered, her voice cracking as she tried to pick up a bra that had fallen near the feet of a teenager who kept taking pictures. "Please stop..."Everyone pointed at her, but no one took pity on her and tried to help her.The sound of a door slamming open startled her, it was Dan, coming out of the apartment."Do you need help, sweetheart?" he asked with a mocking smile,
