I knew that this visit to Murilo's grandmother's house could not be as pleasant as he confidently believed it would be. I already had this feeling from the first moment he suggested the idea of a family lunch. And the fact that it was a huge mansion ten times more luxurious than Murilo's apartment only served to confirm that initial impression.
But the greatest proof of all that I was really right had just materialized in front of us, with a huge fake smile on his face and wearing a stiletto heel that could easily become a powerful weapon, as thin as it was.
But I would not let myself be intimidated by that poisonous snake, and I cared little that we were in Murilo's family home. I would not allow her, or anyone else, to try to make me feel diminished in front of them.
MuriloI clutched Virginia to my chest, still unable to believe the scene I had just witnessed in the living room of my grandmother's mansion. I would never have expected such an attitude coming from my grandmother or anyone in my family because we were always taught to treat all people as equals. After all, that's how everyone was, equal.My parents, just like Aquiles' parents, lived only to help the noblest causes, often using their resources to help those in need, and my grandmother always supported them in everything.They gave up the company and lived only on income from their investments, which they used to finance the cause they were fighting for, and we were taught that this was something fair and admirable.So how could my grandmother suddenl
Ethan ConstantinoI closed my eyes and tried to take pleasure in the oral sex that my current girlfriend was performing on me, but the truth was that Bruna couldn't even make me horny anymore. All I felt for her was disgust... complete and utter disgust at the petty, shallow, arrogant woman I had discovered her as is." Go faster, you hot little whore! " I directed the bitch I called my girlfriend.I was sitting on the couch in the living room of my apartment, while Bruna had been kneeling on the carpet, sucking my cock for several minutes, without me being able to concentrate on what she was doing, and it seems that now she realized this because she suddenly stood up straight and stared, looking displeased with something."I'm tired of sucking you off, and you don't even seem to be enjoying it, Ethan.”Any idiot she could fool would have found it sexy and attractive, but it made me even more disgusted by her pretense and her attempt to manipulate me with sex.Even so, I also continue
VirgíniaDespite what happened at Murilo's family home, our relationship managed to hold firm, and he didn't pressure me to go to the imposing residence again the weekend that followed.However, he fulfilled his family commitment and I didn't criticize him for it, even if I felt a bit betrayed because it was as if he wasn't really on my side but on the side of that snobby grandmother of his.Anyway, we managed to keep a routine and every time Murilo tried to bring up the subject, I diverted the conversation, and so we were together and living in his apartment.I was also managing to keep in touch with my mother now and almost every day we talked on the phone, but my father was another story. He was still upset and unwilling to accept my pregnancy, even though everyone said it was something completely out of the blue, my father would not take advice and wanted absolute distance from me, according to what my mother told me.But life had to go on, and I knew that at some point, my father
MuriloVirginia had agreed to accompany me to the company event that would take place in the family mansion in Guarujá during the weekend and nothing could make me happier than knowing that she would be by my side during these days, even more so after what she had said that morning, during our breakfast, when I asked if she wanted to have lunch with me later." I'd rather not do anything with you today, as I have a very full day," She said, already making me worry about possible work overloads." You mustn't neglect your diet, honey," I said, carefully.She was always very sensitive, and I didn't want to awaken the "beast" that I already knew very well."Don't worry, I'll feed myself properly.”I looked at her curiously because I sensed that there was something strange in the air, and waited for her to tell me what was so special about that day that made her so busy."I understand that I need to use a heavy arsenal in the battle that will be these two days with your ex and that Consta
MuriloAn urgent problem related to the get-together to be held in Guarujá required all of the company's top executives to stay beyond normal business hours so that we could resolve the situation.A former employee had gone public to defame FERZ, alleging various situations of harassment that had occurred during the period in which he had worked with us, and I had called an emergency meeting because I would never accept situations such as this occurring within my company.As our confraternization would be on the next day, we decided that the coverage of the event would be in greater proportion, so that it would minimize such facts pointed out by the accusation made by the ex"employee on social networks as well.I had also requested that our lawyers g
VirgíniaAs much as I was very upset when I arrived at Murilo's apartment and didn't find him, as well as because he arrived so late, after a quick reflection, I concluded that I was being completely unfair to him.The fact is that Murilo was offering me only his best, and I, as much as I was trying to be a more loving and understanding woman, was not managing to do that. So, I decided to surprise him with a quiet reception, without fights or any kind of tension, and take advantage of the wonderful man I had by my side.Tomorrow we would have enough tension in our trip to Guarujá since Bruna's snake would be in the same house as us, and I would be a big idiot to arrive there with any kind of disagreement between Murilo and me.So, after anothe
Murilo My house in Guarujá was located in the beach resort of Pernambuco Beach, and it was a place that I had a great affection for, for all the moments that I had lived in that house next to my family in the last years. But Bruna had also been part of some of those moments and was feeling practically the owner of the place, taking advantage of the fact that she knew all the employees and that they also knew her, to give orders and more orders. And when I arrived, accompanied by Virginia and Mariana, I realized that she intended to treat my woman as someone who was not welcome in my house when the only person who should not be there was her. " How nice that you have arrived, Murilo " Bruna greeted me, making a point of ignoring the two women next to me "I've already instructed the catering team about lunch, and now I'm organizing the distribution of the bedrooms.” I would have said that this had already been done by me, through direct conversation with the buffet organizer, and
VirgíniaAlthough I didn't want Murilo to be near that naughty Bruna, I didn't feel well and didn't want to get in the way of his work. After all, even though we were at a house on the beach, with a beautiful view and paradisiacal landscape, this would be a company event, and he needed to be in charge.And I insisted that he come down and welcome his employees personally, which he did, even though he complained. Now I was with Mariana in Murilo's room, and we were choosing the clothes I would wear to face the nest of snakes that was already present in the house." I cannot believe that Murilo's cousin was able to bring that perverted actress to a professional event " Mariana complained about the tenth time in the last few minutes." First, without defending Lavinia, we can't judge her for certain attitudes, when the two of us are no example, " I said.Without directly quoting the auction, I faced her with a very clear message in my eyes, and Mariana seemed to understand very well, f
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
