Murilo
I wanted Virginia and my body was saying it needed to be at that moment, but still, I was in doubt if we should go through with it now. Desire overcame rationality when Virginia clung to me, matching my kisses with equal ardor.
She began to remove my social shirt, quickly concluding this action and reaching for my pants.
When I had only my white boxer shorts on, I noticed that Virginia was still fully dressed, and immediately tried to change that picture. I grabbed the hem of her lightly knit dress and lifted it up to her shoulders so that she could remove it over her head, and she promptly helped me with the task.
Now that we were only in our underwear, all I could think about was getting inside her as soon as possible, but I understood
VirgíniaMurilo's apartment was exactly as I imagined it would be, and that almost managed to discourage me from actually moving into the place, but I needed to be sensible and understand that now I couldn't think only about myself and more important than my concerns about my son's father's financial and social status, was the child I was expecting.With this thought in mind, I got to know every room of the huge and luxurious apartment that was nothing like the place where a single and busy man lived, both in terms of size and everything in it.It was also clear that he relied on professional help to keep everything so clean and organized, but this was something I shouldn't even have been surprised about, after all, he was a rich man.I shouldn't get too hung up on details like that either, and just tried to concentrate on his explanations about the daily routine and the days the person who took care of the apartment worked to maintain all that perfect luxury. But Mirtes did not only
MuriloEven with all my persistence in defending my point of view, Virginia went to the store that morning and I, although annoyed, went to drop her off at the mall so that she wouldn't have to use any other type of transportation.I was going to talk to her about the possibility of having a driver at her disposal since it was too dangerous to drive, but I already anticipated some resistance from her, stubborn as she was. In any case, I had to accept this defeat, after getting her to sit still for a whole week. Needless to say, how much I took advantage of the fact that Virginia was in my apartment with only me as her company and that our time together was wonderful, now that she was no longer avoiding me all the time.Quite the contrary! We had many hot and intense moments and Virginia seemed insatiable, and even though I knew that this was also something caused by the pregnancy hormones, I was quite happy to fulfill all her desires, especially the sexual ones.But since she wanted
VirgíniaAfter I returned to the store, Murilo and I got into a routine, where he would first drop me off at the mall and only then go to the company and make a point of having lunch with me every day. At seventeen o'clock, he would come by the mall to pick me up, and together we would go to his apartment.But on Friday morning, when we were on our way to the mall, Murilo again insisted that I should accept the offer he had made me to put a driver at my disposal, something he had already suggested I do, and I had resolutely refused." I don't need you to drop me off and pick me up every day at the mall, Murilo " I pointed out, "I said it earlier this week, and I'll say it again. I'm fine, and I can just call a cab or an Uber.”He was driving, and h
MuriloI was really upset with Virginia in the face of her, such an uncompromising and selfish attitude. While I was willing to do anything so that we could build a real family, next to our son who was growing in her belly, she didn't seem willing to give an inch in her decisions.The fact that she, even after all the emotional support I offered her, still didn't want to face the obstacles by my side, only showed that she really didn't care whether we were together or not.I had no say in her life or in her decisions.And for this reason, I left her in front of the mall and went out again into the heavy traffic of São Paulo, feeling frustrated and even disappointed with the woman who would soon be the mother of my son and that not even this aspect of our relat
VirgíniaWhen the driver sent by Murilo arrived to pick me up at the place agreed upon to serve as the meeting point, I was feeling guilty and quite tense.After talking to Mariana, to whom I had already told everything that was going on between me and Murilo, she pulled my ears because she seemed so upset with my attitude."You must be crazy, Virginia!”She was about to scream, but I believe she controlled herself because we were having lunch in the tiny pantry of our store and a saleswoman could arrive at any moment." I'm scared, Mari " I repeated what I had already told her "I don't know anything about Murilo's world except what is in the magazines or gossip sites every day.”
MuriloWhen Virginia entered my office, she was visibly tense, and I smiled at her, so that she understood that she would always be very welcome in my office." Hi, honey " I greeted, approaching where she was standing, still standing near the door to my office."Hi " she replied, confirming that I was right in believing that she was nervous about being there.”I hugged her, placed a brief kiss on her lips, and pulled her into one of the chairs set up in front of my desk."I must say that I am very happy that you have come to my office and that you are always welcome for future visits.” When she was already seated on one of the chairs, she put her hands together on her lap and, still looking embarrassed, she just smiled in return for my words." I came so that we could go to your apartment together " she explained, after a few seconds in which I could only stare at her and admire how beautiful she was." What do you say when we go out to dinner at a nice restaurant? " I suggested."
VirgíniaWhen Murilo's efficient secretary invited Bruna to accompany her to the exit, I imagined that she would not accept it so easily, but she surprised me by looking at us and turning her back, ready to leave.On the other hand, the look of hatred she gave me as she left the room managed to disconcert me, and I even felt a chill run through my body as I saw the evil in her perfectly made-up face.But still, I managed to keep a confident expression because I wouldn't let her know that she had any kind of power over us. " It's not going to stay like this, " she said, before leaving the office entirely." It really won't! " Murilo replied in a tone that left no room for doubt.I had only known Murilo for a short time and all I had had from him until then was cordiality and kindness, but the way he said this to his ex was able to easily convince me that he could also be tough if he so desired.After the door was closed, I stared at Murilo, waiting for an explanation, even though I ha
MuriloI was still very upset that my plans to go out with Virginia had been thwarted because of the scene Bruna had made in my office. As if everything she had already done to me wasn't enough, she was back to mess up my life.Despite this, being at home with Virginia was not and would never be a bad thing because the most important thing was that we were together. And when we were already in bed, after making love for the second time that night, we talked calmly, having forgotten what had happened at the company." You still haven't told me what led you to meet me at FERZ " I remembered, wrapping Virginia's long hair in my fingers.Virginia was lying on my chest, and I felt her sigh. I thought she was upset by my question, but I soon understood the real r
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
SarahThe trip to Seattle is exhausting, despite the comfort of Kael's private jet. However, upon arriving at the mansion, everything becomes more comfortable and easier. 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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
