Auctioned for the Billionaire No Expectations
VirgíniaI couldn't hold back until the evening to try to talk sensibly with Murilo and tell him about the unwanted pregnancy. I would not be a hypocrite to say that being pregnant would not be a problem in my life, or that it would be easy.A child requires many things that I couldn't offer at this time, but with a lot of struggle, plus one I would try to do my best, and now that I had the store, the possibilities were much better.But commerce was something amazing, and I knew that I needed, together with Mariana, to be aware of the constant changes in the fashion market and be as prepared as possible to meet our customers' needs. We could not fail. I could not fail.Despite the excellent value I had achieved with Murilo, I didn't want to talk about an auction anymore, that word was erased from my vocabulary, I had almost no money left from what I had received, and now I needed to save even more to wait for the arrival of this child.I must not count on Murilo. I grew up surrounded
Auctioned for the Billionaire Hard to Believe
MuriloWhen the waiter came to our table, interrupting what Virginia was about to tell me, I was annoyed because what she intended to tell me seemed to be something important.When I realized that she had placed an order and was about to eat during our conversation, which seemed to have a different importance than what I had imagined, I was confused, not being able to understand how she could simply make a meal at that hour, even more so with me watching her and when it was she who had asked to advance our meeting.But when I saw how she picked up the cutlery, seeming to almost lick her lips with such a desire to eat that blessed lasagna, the strangeness increased, and I remembered a scene in the soap opera that Aquiles was watching the night before, very similar to the present moment, where the woman was pregnant and eating uncontrollably.The way Virginia was looking at the lasagna in front of her brought me to the scene and, upon her statement that yes, "something" happened, as she
Auctioned for the Billionaire A millionaire?
VirgíniaI left that food court feeling sad and couldn't afford to go back to my store at that point. On the day of the auction, when a man bid one million reais for my virginity, I was sure he must be rich. But to know that Murilo was simply one of the owners of FERZ, the largest cosmetics company in the country, was beyond any expectations I would ever have.And now I was pregnant with the child of a millionaire businessman, CEO of one big cosmetics company, who was also in other countries besides ours.How could I get involved in something like this? I was not prepared to get involved with a person of such high social status! I didn't even have the education to talk to this kind of person, I thought with deep dismay.I was so stunned that when I saw the sign indicating the restrooms in the mall, I went straight to them because I felt that tears would fall at any moment and I entered one of the reserved ones and cried. Tears fell in spurts, and I surrendered myself to the weeping t
Auctioned for the Billionaire Giving way
MuriloWhen Virginia stormed out of the food court, I was immediately irritated by her attitude, until I noticed how upset she seemed when she walked directly to the restrooms, I thought it was best to wait outside to make sure of her real emotional state.The fact was that she was pregnant, and I understood that she must have been shaken by such impacting news. A child changes everything in someone's life, and when it is a mother, it tends to be even more transformative.After several minutes of waiting for her to come out of the bathroom, I began to get worried and was seriously considering calling one of the women who were leaving the place, in search of some information about the woman who would very soon be the mother of my son.I was about to do just that when I realized that Virginia was the next to leave and went to meet her, quite relieved to see that she was all right, at least apparently. When I confronted her, she didn't like my attitude, but I was only thinking of what w
Auctioned for the Billionaire Priorities
MuriloI knew I wasn't doing the right thing with Murilo, but my priority would always be me and what was best for me, and I didn't believe that being with Murilo was a good thing.I wasn't thinking about the financial issue, of course. He was very rich, but money, at some moments, could also take away a person's peace. It was with this in mind that I decided to stay away from him, at least for the time being. I had managed to organize myself financially with the money he paid, and my store was growing in terms of customers, so I could afford to have my son alone, without having to resort to Murilo's fortune." He's a handsome man, and he's got a crush on you, Virginia " Mariana spoke for the tenth time that afternoon. "Are you sure that staying away from him is the best way?”We were at the store, and while I would go home, Mariana would stay at the store for the closing, as we had agreed. While I was responsible for opening the store at ten o'clock in the morning, Mari was responsi
Auctioned for the Billionaire Tense atmosphere
MuriloFor two days I had been trying to talk to my cousin about Virginia and could not succeed. The fact is that Aquiles was reserving all his time for his girlfriend and current crush, Lavinia Moura.And when we were at the company, all sorts of situations were managing to get in the way of our conversation, and I felt reiterated by this.As if it wasn't enough to drive me crazy that Virginia didn't answer my messages and didn't answer my many calls. But today I was determined to resolve both situations and nothing would deter me from this decision, and it was with this in mind that I entered Aquiles' office that afternoon." I guess you came here determined to have that all-important conversation, am I right? " Aquiles welcomed me with his usual jokes." I'm sure you know me well enough to even anticipate my words " I retorted.Aquiles was sitting in his executive chair and seemed to be typing something on the computer when I arrived and, since I thought it would be important, I a
Auctioned for the Billionaire A couple?
VirgíniaI looked at my cell phone's display when I realized that new messages had arrived and checked the notification bar to see who it was from, finding that they were from Murilo, as had been happening for a few days. As in the other days, I didn't mind answering either because I wasn't feeling well at all and wasn't in any condition to pay attention or even to wear myself out with the expectations that Murilo seemed to have about us.But, even thinking rationally like that, the sender of those messages never left my mind and I thought about him at all times of the day and night. Before going to sleep was always the worst moment because I took a long time to fall asleep, analyzing all the possibilities and coming to the same conclusion.The truth is that the differences between us were blatant and that was not good, even more so in the current circumstances, so I opted to throw myself into work to occupy my mind and not think about the father of my son." How is my godson today?
Auctioned for the Billionaire Futilities
Murilo When I entered one of the stores in the mall, the first person I saw was Virginia. I was very happy, not to say completely overjoyed, to finally have an opportunity to talk to her in person. She didn't answer my calls, nor did she answer my messages, and I concluded that only fate, under the current circumstances, would be able to bring me face-to-face with the girl I was in love with. This was the naked truth, and I could no longer deny this fact. I immediately went towards her, willing to fight tooth and nail for what I wanted. But when she saw me, her expression was one of repulsion and I stagnated in place, undecided about imposing my presence on Virginia in that way, since it was quite evident that she didn't like it when she saw me and didn't seem to desire my approach. " Isn't that the same girl from the nightclub? " Lavinia asked, standing next to me. Only then did I realize the fact that I was accompanied by Lavinia and how this could further complicate the situa

Auctioned for the Billionaire Trust and Love
Kael Coming home and finding Sarah was truly a special moment, something I deeply missed during the months we were apart. I was foolish and arrogant, and I prefer to forget about that time. However, today the situation wasn't as pleasant due to Bianchi's inconvenient presence, who came from London to visit my wife. It bothered me quite a bit, although I knew I had no right to forbid this meeting. I love Sarah deeply, but I'm not her owner. She is free to receive whoever she desires, and it's not up to me to impose rules. Nonetheless, I can't deny that I didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone with Bianchi, and I wonder what they were talking about downstairs. Where are my mom and Maira when I need them the most? They could be keeping this annoying pilot company instead of wandering around. Initially, I thought about waiting for Sarah in her room, but I wanted to avoid putting any pressure on her. So, albeit reluctantly, I headed to my own room. After a long, hot shower, I wrapped

Kael has hired a team of professionals to closely monitor my recovery process.Ryan and I had a long conversation. Despite the difficulties after everything that happened, he is still my brother, and we have a lot in common. With Maira, the connection was immediate, and I became fond of her, as well as of our other brother, even before knowing about our blood ties.Mary is a lovely person, and her presence has been crucial in my adjustment. Sharing the same roof with her strengthens our bond, and her help is valuable in all aspects of my daily life.Rachel, on the other hand, remained absent, not giving news or showing interest in visiting me. I feel like everyone avoids mentioning her name, including Maira, who is known for her kindness and gentleness.Hillary is always calling me, and we talk about various topics.
Auctioned for the Billionaire Second Chance
SarahI feel a profound relief when Kael's hand wraps around mine, as if that simple gesture could push away some of the burden I carry. However, the feeling is bittersweet because I'm hiding a truth that eats away at me from the inside, but it also shows me that we're not as different as I thought."I've made mistakes too, by letting myself be influenced by everything Rachel said."I confess because it's the truth. I look into his eyes, seeking transparency, even though I myself am hiding something important. Kael gazes at me attentively, his eyes filled with emotion, and he makes a proposal that catches me by surprise:"How about we write a new story for us, Sarah?" He asks sincerely, and I can see that his words come from the heart. "I'm just asking for a second chance, to do things differently and prove that I'm telling the truth."My feelings are in turmoil, but Kael's sincere and vulnerable gaze moves me. I look at this strong and determined man, who holds my hand so gently, as
Auctioned for the Billionaire A Test of Love
KaelThe scheduled time for work appointments went unnoticed because my mind was a tangle of worries. I knew Ryan would have to deal with my absence, but at that moment, I had no capacity to focus on business. I wasn't in a state to think about business, and Ryan would have to handle things without me. After all, the company is also his asset, as he is my brother, and half of the shares belong to our mother.I called Ryan with the intention of explaining my absence and my troubled mind."I already suspected that you wouldn't be able to attend the meeting today," Ryan's voice sounded understanding, as if he were reading my thoughts. "I tried to get in touch with Sarah, now that the diagnosis is confirmed, but she doesn't want to talk to me."The mention of a confirmed diagnosis caught me off guard. Confused, I questioned, "Confirmed diagnosis? What are you talking about?""I managed to briefly talk to Maira on the phone a few minutes ago. She told me about the medical evaluation."The
Auctioned for the Billionaire A Charade
SarahAfter Kael made his promise to prove his love for me through actions, even though I found it ridiculous, my feelings were in complete turmoil. Without even thinking about what I was about to do, I grabbed the nearest object and threw it against the door.It was my cell phone, and I ended up damaging it, which only increased my agitation. I had never thrown objects around before, let alone with the intent of releasing my frustration."What happened?" Maira asked, entering the room.I glanced at the floor where the phone lay, still intact but probably no longer functioning. She followed my gaze and realized what I had done, picking up the device from the floor. As expected, the screen was cracked in several places."I im
Auctioned for the Billionaire Seeking Forgiveness
KaelEntering that hospital room and finding Sarah lying in the bed, aware of the real possibility that she might never walk again, made me feel like the worst human being in the world. Deep down, I knew my responsibility in all of this was significant, and the weight of guilt hit me like an avalanche.I decided at that moment that, regardless of what she might say now, I would do everything in my power to help her. Even if she no longer wanted me around, I was determined to continue taking care of her, even from a distance."Leave us alone, Maira," Sarah's voice didn't sound like a request, but rather like a firm order. Just from that short sentence, I could sense how the accident had transformed her personality, and not in a positive way."You can call me if you need anything," Maira says before leaving the room. Although her words were directed at Sarah, I knew it was a message for me."What do you hope to achieve by approaching me? Do you think you'll gain sympathy from everyone b
Auctioned for the Billionaire Ignoring the Truth
SarahAlthough no one had the courage, or perhaps it's more appropriate to say "integrity," to inform me about the significant probability of facing paraplegia, this concern had been lingering in my thoughts. Even though I tried to ignore it, I knew it wasn't normal to feel nothing and be unable to move my legs when the rest of my body was functioning fine. However, accepting this reality and confronting the inevitable conclusion was no simple task. Apparently, I had also chosen to deceive myself, preferring to believe in the inappropriate actions of those around me. But after the conversation with Lorenzo, I could no longer delay accepting the truth.I needed to accept that this was happening and learn to deal with all the difficulties that people in the same situation of paraplegia face, something I likely developed due to the accident."It's still not definitive, Sarah," Maira repeated her motivational speech. "The final diagnosis hasn't been given yet, and the doctor said we'll on
Auctioned for the Billionaire Honesty
KaelDespite Enrico making it clear that he doesn't agree with my past choices, I don't regret sharing this story with him. What matters right now is Sarah's well-being. While I want her back and he's my rival in the competition for her heart, it's crucial that everything is transparent. Honesty is now paramount.No more hiding secrets or telling lies. It was precisely this lack of clarity that led to all this confusion and the situation Sarah finds herself in, lying in a hospital bed with a real possibility of not walking again."Did you manage to talk to Rachel?" Maira asks when we're back in the waiting room."I was informed that she's still in Monaco. But she's not answering our calls, and honestly? Sarah is better off without her toxic presence," I clarify. "Has she been asking for her sister?""Not really. Sarah hasn't been asking for anyone, really. She's been very introspective and bitter since she woke up, and that's not a good sign, considering everything that's coming," Mai
Auctioned for the Billionaire Repentance
KaelI listened carefully to Maira's words and felt my heart tighten with sadness. I wanted to be by Sarah's side at that moment, offering the support that, out of pride and being a complete fool, I hadn't given before – the love I felt for her."I don't understand why the doctor doesn't just tell Sarah the truth!" I vented, genuinely outraged. "I don't see any reason to keep her in the dark like this."Maira had just informed me that Sarah had already noticed the lack of movement and sensation in her legs, and now I had many questions, especially after the doctor's visit in the morning."Something else happened today," Maira said, looking somewhat apprehensive."What?""She agreed to see Enrico.""I can't believe she agreed to see him, but can't even stand to hear my name!" I said, irritated."Her relationship with Enrico is very different from what you both had, Kael," Maira tried to calm me down. "From what I understand, considering both of their reports, you made a serious mistake
