Athos

... Don't rush to leave this bathtub, my love, I'll wait for you as long as necessary.

I take a deep breath, confessing that I'm becoming increasingly curious, but I do exactly as he asked. I spend long minutes relaxing, and when I finally return to the room, I'm surprised again. The room is tidy and filled with beautiful bouquets of flowers, but it's the huge white box on the bed that catches my attention.

"Athos, are you there?" I call out again, but I'm alone here. Once again driven by my curiosity, I walk over to the box, untie the large beige bow, and push aside the tissue papers, revealing a beautiful white dress. An emotional smile spreads across my face, and after taking the garment out, I find a pair of shoes, a bouquet, and a small velvet box with a beautiful delicate set of bracelet and necklace with the infinity symbol adorned with tiny sparkling stones.

... Look beautiful for our moment, my dear. Our children and I will be waiting for you in the garden.

    Ollie"Are you nervous?" Dad asks as the doors open and a wedding march begins. However, I'm speechless. It's hard to hiss anything when my eyes roam fascinated by every harmonious detail of a delicate and captivating decoration.The arches of roses and baby's breath lead me straight to an improvised altar, a carpet of white petals standing out on the green grass, rows of chairs with natural wood tones forming a narrow and elegant aisle, and right up front is my future husband waiting for me."Actually, I'm happy," I finally respond, flashing a wide smile when I see the shocked expression Kim makes as she sees me entering with our father, and to my surprise, Mom is holding Liam in her arms. I take a deep breath to hold back the new tears that want to form."I dreamed of this moment, daughter, but I didn't imagine it would be so magical," Dad says. It's because at this moment there is love and not an obligation. I wanted to answer him, but everything is so perfect that I didn't want to

    AthosA few weeks later..."It's time to find out who's hiding in the belly of my beloved wife, my friend," I say, full of anticipation, rising from the chair in my home office after giving some love advice to my friend, who now seems more upbeat.The truth is, I'm eager to find out if we're expecting another little boy, and then we'll have a great team here at home to make our messes. With Levi and Liam taking their first steps and discovering their surroundings, I've been quite distracted when I'm out of the office, and they always give me reasons to smile every day."I hope it's a little girl to play with mine in the near future, of course," I snap out of my reverie when Romão speaks, stopping right next to me.He can't be serious. Really, Romão Nunes has no idea what he's getting into.I think after a brief debate that I interrupt to go meet my beautiful pregnant wife, who at this very moment is engaged in lively conversation with Victória and her mother.A gender reveal.

    Ollie"What do you think about getting out of this noise?" That question changed my life irrevocably.It all started when I finally finished my degree in secretarial studies and foreign languages. For the first time in my family, a woman had a degree and even against my father's wishes, I was going to work and be independent.That very day I broke many of the rules of a typically traditional and rigid family and went out to celebrate with my classmates. In my mind, it would happen so quickly that my parents would never notice.However, between one sip and another, time flew and I soon found myself involved in a dance with a handsome and attractive stranger. His scent was intoxicating and he displayed a sensuality that I could feel all over my skin. Then, after our third dance, came the invitation. What can I say? I was too caught up in those little kisses on my neck and his breath that insisted on warming my skin. The way he sucked in my scent, rubbing the tip of his nose down my thro

    Ollie"Tell me everything!" The excitement in my sister's voice is palpable. That's understandable since the strictness of our family doesn't allow us to go to parties, let alone clubs or discos."My goodness, Kim, what do you want to know?" I retort, amused by her eagerness, and I look at her lying on her single bed next to mine."I want to know about everything. You know, the lights, the music. I want you to tell me about the taste of the drinks and what it's like to dance with a man. Oh Ollie, tell me! Don't hide anything from me!" I finish brushing my hair and immediately go to my bed, under the covers, turning to face her."The nightclub is exactly like we've seen in movies," I say, and her smile widens. "There was all that white smoke, the lights running from one side to the other causing a strange sensation in our heads. My friends chose to drink beers and oh my, they're awful!" We laugh at my comment. "But the drink made me more comfortable, so I didn't complain.""And the str

    Ollie"Do you think you should see a doctor?" Kim asks, worriedly pacing back and forth. However, I can't respond because nausea won't allow me."Damn it, Ollie, something is going on inside my head and I don't like my thoughts!" She breathes heavily, leaning against a wall and dragging herself along it until she sits on the floor."Tell me, when was your last period?" "Okay, that was the question of the century, and honestly, I don't understand why I didn't pay attention to that detail before. I mean, I don't have a regular menstruation schedule. However, it never fails. Whether at the beginning, middle, or end of the month, it always comes, but not this month.""For God's sake, Olivia, why didn't you insist on him using a damn condom?!" My sister scolds, unable to contain her despair, and resumes pacing inside the bathroom, where I remain prostrate, waiting for a new wave of nausea to hit me."You were so caught up in the moment!" She interrupts me. "And now, what are we going to do

    Ollie"Olivia? Sweetheart, what are you doing here?" Well, my only solution at this moment was to cross the city and turn to the only person who could shelter me right now. Aunt Ju. My reaction at that moment was to run into her arms and cry for long minutes, while she tried to calm me down and extract from me everything she needed to know, but it was practically impossible."Here, dear, drink this. It'll calm you down," she says, handing me a cup of tea, which I drink slowly, and soon my agitated body feels the tranquilizing effect of the warm, sweet liquid. "Tell me what happened, Olivia?" I take a deep breath and think about where to start this whole story."I'm pregnant, Aunt.""Good Lord!" She mutters with a gasp. "And Dad kicked me out of the house.""Of course, that devil from hell did that!" Irritated, she gets up from the couch and paces around the room."I need a place to stay just until I can get a job...""You'll stay with me tonight, Olivia," she interrupts, and I gulp ne

    OllieA year later..."Good morning, my darlings, how are you this morning?" Victoria's lively voice makes me smile, and leaning against the door frame, I bring the steaming cup of coffee to my lips, watching her play with my children while changing diapers.I couldn't imagine that a chance encounter with a stranger would change my life so radically. In a year, a lot has happened in my life, but the best of all was bringing Liam and Levi into this world. However, not being able to talk to my sister over these months is troubling me a lot."You're going to spoil them this way," I decide to alert her to my presence in the room and enter the space I share with my children."Well, what can I do if they're so adorable? Isn't that right, my loves?" She scolds directly to them, making me smile, and I approach the crib, receiving smiles from my babies."Mama," Levi grumbles, reaching out his little arms to me, and I can't resist the urge to fulfill his wish, holding him in my arms and kissing

    Athos"Mr. Mazza, here's the translation of the document you requested," Barbara, my assistant, announces as she enters my office. However, I gesture for her to wait a moment and continue speaking on the phone."Mr. Eron, this clause does not exist in our contract. You cannot charge me because you don't have that right.""Athos, I demand an apology immediately!""I will not apologize for anything because the mistake was not mine!""Damn it, Athos!""Eron, here's what you're going to do. Ask your lawyer to explain this situation to you in detail. I don't have time to teach an ignorant layman like you.""Well, you... don't you dare...""That's enough, Eron! If you want, feel free to sue me, but I guarantee that if you do, I can take everything from you, even your pants if I wish. Think about it, Eron!" I snarl angrily and end the call, then release an audible breath and glare at my secretary, who looks somewhat apprehensive. However, I pick up the paper I just placed on my desk and begi

    Ollie"I've got good news for you, sis-in-law!" Artemis enters the hospital room with an excitement that makes me smile. "The doctor is going to discharge you in a few minutes, so get ready to head back home.""Oh, that's great! I can't stand lying on this bed any longer!" I grumble, receiving his warm kiss on my cheek. "Where is everyone?""They went ahead, and Athos is talking to your obstetrician." I furrow my brows."My obstetrician? I didn't even know I had one.""Get ready because if Athos was already suffocating, he's going to get worse." I laugh."That's impossible.""Nothing's impossible, sis-in-law. At least not for the mighty Mr. Mazza." A knock on the door interrupts our pleasant conversation, and Aphrodite Duran appears in my line of sight, sucking out any cheerfulness. I take a deep breath, and Artemis looks at the girl intrigued."Hey, Ollie!""Aphrodite.""Can we talk for a moment?""Oh, sure! Artemis, could you...""Sure, I'll be in the corridor if you need me."

    Ollie"Good morning, my love! How is my sweet princess this morning?" He says as he enters, but this time I remain silent and still on the bed. "Olivia, you haven't eaten anything!" He complains. "You'll get sick like this, dear." I stay silent and unmoving. "You know this childish behavior of yours won't help you in any way, don't you?" I huff in my thoughts, but something crosses my mind. I need to play along with his game. I need to gain his trust and maybe I can finally escape this place.I take a deep breath.But where will I go? I'm weak and trembling, and this urge to vomit is making my stomach ache."This time I think you'll like it. I brought some caramelized croissants and they're still warm." My mouth waters just imagining the sweet pastry melting in my mouth. So, I force myself to sit up in bed and gaze at the package in his hand. A smile spreads across his face as Edie sits next to me on the bed. "I have news." He hands me the package, and eagerly I open it, inhaling the

    Athos"Only if you want them to" I whisper. Then she turns her face towards me and I meet her perverted, sparkling gaze, which makes me smile. I take her mouth again in a completely hungry kiss, while I busy myself unzipping the side of her dress. In the act, Olivia lowers her arms so that the garment slides down her body until it forms a black circle around her feet. Then I feel the warmth of her skin in the palm of my hand and start spreading burning kisses all over her back, slowly descending until I'm facing her ass, which is covered in equally black panties, so small that it's impossible to cover them. "How delicious!" I growl, slapping her globe and she moans again. "Do you want to play with me?"- I ask her, feeling my voice gradually become hoarse."Yes!" She replies, almost breathless."Great, darling! Pretend I'm your king, and you'll do everything as I say, without questioning me," I explain our game while caressing her buttocks, wishing to possess her right here, standing a

    Athos...Where are you guys?I send a message to my brother and anxiously await his response....We're already at the club as we agreed....Tell me you managed to get her out of the house?...Definitely, but she's not having much fun....Okay, I've sorted everything out here. I'm on my way there now.I confess it wasn't easy to juggle three days of out-of-state conference with a surprise birthday party for Olivia. So I've been torn between lengthy extraordinary meetings and long phone calls to convey the details of what I really wanted for this day, and I still had to give her attention from a distance. So, now I'm right here in front of the club to take her to this moment, which will surely be etched in her memory....I'm here, where are you guys?I send another message to my brother, but this time I don't get a response. However, I decide to plunge into the midst of the lively crowd and look for them. I confess my heart is racing inside my chest just at the thought that in a few sec

    Ollie"Are you okay?" Athos asks softly, holding my hand as the car stops in front of my old house.The once accusatory and curious gazes now seem astonished. It's as if the entire neighborhood had been drawn to watch me step out of this vehicle. And I understand. Everyone here expected my defeat, for me to return home crawling and begging for forgiveness from my parents, but that's not what happened. Stepping onto the concrete ground with my high heels and displaying a posture as elegant as the clothes I'm wearing now caused a stir among them. However, I take a deep breath and look at the facade of the house, gathering courage to go inside."Do you want me to come in with you?" He asks, but all I can manage is a nod as my fingers tighten around his hand. It was so easy the other time. I think. There was a mix of anger and anxiety fueling all the adrenaline within me, but now I feel like I'm suffocating just thinking about stepping inside again."Mom!" Kim speaks with emotion, hugging

    Ollie"Hi!" I say somewhat hesitantly as I approach my sister in the garden. "Anne, could you leave us alone for a bit?" I ask my friend who was comforting my sister. She gives me a closed-mouth smile."Of course, dear!" Anne steps away, and I observe Kim's sulky expression. However, she avoids looking at me, and with a heavy sigh, I sit next to her on the edge of a fountain."Kim...""Look, if you came to talk about that idiot Artemis, don't bother! I'm tired of hearing about how poor he's suffering and how he needs patience, love, and care. We didn't have an easy life either, and I don't go around mistreating people because of it.""Wow, I've never seen you like this before!""He manages to bring out the worst in me, Ollie. It's annoying, suffocating, and it makes me angry to be around him!" She huffs, and I... well, I don't know what to say."Anyway, I didn't come to talk about Artemis.""Then what?" Kim asks, interested."Mom called.""When?""Just now.""What did she want?""It's
