The night went on getting more and more hectic. I lost count of how many drinks we made ourselves and also how many times I was made fun of by Mr. Gouveia. Luckily, Takashi was big and strong, so he showed respect and made the men give up.

I let out a tired sigh as I finished another Apletinni and heard TK calling me.

- Ell?

- Ell? - I said as I put the strip of apple back in the cup.

- I think Morgana wants to talk to you.

- Morgana? - I turned to the counter. - Your drink, sir. - I placed the glass on the counter in front of the customer who was waiting for me. To my relief, the blond man thanked me and left. No harassment.

She waved at you. - Tk said, making me look at him. - But now she's coming.

As he closed his mouth, I turned to find Morgana leaning smilingly over the bar counter.

- You're the luckiest rabbit of the night, Ellen de Souza. - Morgana smiled excitedly and took one of my hands.

- I am? - I smiled at her enthusiasm.

- Yes, I am. - She pulled me closer to her, makin

    I seriously considered running away, but my legs were still shaking after the terrible event inside Garota Devassa and I doubted I'd make it very far. So I didn't have much choice. I got into the car and felt my body relax a little as I sank into the comfortable leather seat.Damien closed my door and took the driver's seat. Then he put the key in the ignition and the car's dashboard turned on. He pressed the button and a bluish light illuminated everything inside, making me startle at the elegance of the vehicle.Not that I'd never been in a car before. But never in one like it. I felt ecstatic and at the same time intimidated by all that opulence. The car began to glide through the streets of Rio de Janeiro and I tried to ignore the nervousness that was growing in the pit of my stomach.I glanced at Damien. He had his eyes fixed on the steering wheel and his jaw was clenched, showing that he was very angry. Eeven faced with the possibility of a rude response, I ventured to ask:- W

    Damien bonus part lShe turned her back on me.I felt my hands clench into fists and my smile give way to a scowl as I saw the statuesque stranger turn and walk quickly in the opposite direction of the hall. She was clearly running away from me. Did she not know who I was? I was stunned by her not-so-subtle rejection, but as soon as the numbness passed, surprise gave way to a strong hunter's instinct. A new and primitive sensation overwhelmed me and I found myself walking in the same direction she was going as fast as she could.I felt a feminine scent enter my nostrils and delicate hands tried to grab my arm, but I didn't allow them to stop me. I untangled myself and continued walking, scanning the crowd in search of the bare-backed beauty who had dared to refuse me.I spotted her in the distance, entering the Golden Room, and did the same, but this time I was careful not to let her see me too soon. I skirted a small crowd and watched as she stopped near the band to admire the musici

    Damien Bonus part ll I tried to stay focused on the document I was analyzing. There was a pile of them on my desk in front of me waiting for my approval. But I was too nervous to check everything carefully enough.How long would it take? Wouldn't two weeks be enough to get the information I wanted? I put the pen down on the table and let my back rest on my armchair.Then someone knocked on my door.- Come in.- Mr. Mason. - Margareth, my blonde secretary, gave me a broad smile and walked over to my desk. - Mr. Fontana has just arrived.- Ask him to come in. - I stared at my papers again in a clear signal for her to leave.I knew she was easy prey if I wanted her to be. But she didn't fit my standards.I heard the sound of my door being opened and watched the thin man sneak into my office with a briefcase in his hands.- Good afternoon, Mr. Mason. - I stood up and shook the hand he offered me.- Good afternoon, Dr. Fontana. Please have a seat.I indicated the armchair in front of me a

    My body felt as relaxed as ever. I could feel the soft sheets caressing my skin every time I moved. Everything felt so good and comfortable that I moaned in satisfaction and stretched out lazily on the bed. And it was then that I remembered where I was. Rather, I remembered where I was supposed to be: on the sofa in Damien's living room.Then I opened my eyes and jumped up, lifting my body off the mattress, noticing that I was in a bedroom, lying on a completely white and unfamiliar bed. But how had I ended up there? Was that Damien's room? I shuddered at the thought of it. I ran my eyes around the room, looking for any sign of him. But there was nothing. With the exception of the mess I had made of the bed, the rest looked immaculate. The sun penetrated through the gaps in the blinds of the large glass windows, which a calm breeze made sway. It was the most elegant room I had ever entered and for a few moments I was paralyzed just looking at the perfect decoration. When I finally tu

    As I took the last bite of ravioli on my plate under Damien's watchful eye, I rested the cutlery on the table and grabbed a napkin to wipe any traces of sauce from my lips. The table we were at was small and in a covered area in the garden. From where I was standing I could see the huge swimming pool and I could also appreciate the beautiful house crafted from glass, steel and marble. - It was all very nice. Thank you. - I didn't have much idea of etiquette, so I at least appealed to good manners. - You've hardly eaten anything. - Damien made a gesture and George approached us.Yes, Mr. Mason? - Dismiss the chef, I don't think the food was pleasant enough. - I widened my eyes. He was going to fire the chef because I hadn't eaten enough? I had to do something! - No! George and Damien looked away from me. - I mean, everything was great. Wonderful. There's no need to fire anyone.So why did you eat so little? - Damien looked at me suspiciously. - I don't usually eat much. - Of cou

    - "I've come to finish what I was saying, Lieutenant. My report on your performance wasn't wrong."- "Is that right?"- "That's right. But I couldn't say everything. I see genius in your flying, but I couldn't say it there. I was afraid that everyone in that class would see right through me. I don't want anyone to know that I've fallen in love with you."- Could you watch the movie without mumbling the lines, Professor Charlie? - Arianna hissed next to me, making me let out a small laugh and look at her.- I wish I looked like Kelly McGillis. - I looked away from her to see Kelly and Tom Cruise kissing on television.- I'd like to be like her too. Seducing Tom Cruise is only for a few. - Arianna took the bowl of ice cream from my hands and scooped some out with her spoon.It was our Saturday of old movies and the one chosen this time had been our favorite. Our beloved Rogue Aces. We were at Arianna's house and it must have been around ten at night. Her father, an elderly retired man,

    - So? How did it go? - Baby left the bench and came over to me.- I've been hired. - I shared with a smile.Baby hugged me, leaving me suddenly surprised.- Oops! I'm sorry. - She looked embarrassed. - I always do that.- That's why I can't get a boyfriend, I smother people. - She frowned in annoyance. I couldn't help but laugh a little.- Don't worry about it. - I consoled her. I already felt empathy for the girl I had just met. Perhaps because she had helped me.- You'll need the list of documents! - Baby ran back to the table and came back to me with a piece of paper. - Here it is.- I can't thank you enough. You've helped me so much. - I held her hand.You're welcome. - She squeezed my hand back. - Wow! I didn't even tell you my name. Sorry again. My name is Barbara, but everyone calls me Baby.- I know, I know. Your boss told me. - I smiled and she smiled back.- Would you like to have lunch with me?

Around ten, everyone started to leave and the place became emptier and emptier until everyone left. I didn't get to see when Damien left because at the end of dinner I stayed in the kitchen to help clean up everything we used.- Ell, I know you've done a lot of work today, but I need someone to go to room two and wipe down the tables. The others will finish here and as there are only a few tables, it won't be too hard a job. Can you do that? - Baby held my shoulder.- Of course I can. - I put the bowl I was polishing on the table.- Thank you. - She smiled and put the flannel in my hand along with a cleaning product. - I'v

    BONUS DAMIENI stopped before entering the balcony, just enjoying it. She looked even more beautiful against the classic Italian backdrop. Her hair took on bronze tones in the sunset and the exposed skin that slipped through her robe glowed, capturing my attention. To think that the woman sitting on the parapet with her eyes focused on the Italian landscape was my wife filled me with pride and relief. I tightened my fingers around the glass, silently thanking her for having me. I wouldn't risk losing her ever again. I would take care of her. My eyes went down to her abdomen with our little miracle that still had no sign. I would take care of them both.She wouldn't suffer any more, I would make sure that everything for her went full and happy. That's what she deserved after so much suffering. I made her my life from the moment we walked up the aisle on the island of Solstice and I would love her until the very end.Ellen raised the coffee cup next to her to her lips and her well-drawn

    To my surprise, Nicholas and Arianna managed to get along and ended up giving a speech together. Damien and I danced together once again in the Golden Room, to the same music we danced to the first time. When I heard Michael Bolton's final chord, I managed to snatch him into the garden before we were surrounded once again by guests. He looked as surprised as I had imagined when he saw himself in the hotel's empty garden. - Where's my present? - You'll have to look for it. - I nibbled my lower lip and took a step back.Damien frowned in confusion. - All over the garden? - In the immediate vicinity. - I nodded positively. He smiled and ran his hands through the hair on the back of my neck. Then he looked around and I smiled when I realized he was lost as to which direction to go first. - Look, Mr. Mason! - I urged him. Damien looked at me and smiled in my direction and then started walking towards a flowering bush. - It's not there. - I warned him. He stopped immediately. Then

    " - I promise to protect and respect you, loving you and our family above myself and my desires. I'll be there every time you need me, because you're the woman I've always hoped for and the only one I've ever really loved, Ellen. As long as my heart beats, it will beat for you and to you."His words still rang in my ears, like a sweet dream. I closed my eyes to remember the recent emotions I had experienced in front of the altar, when he promised me that we would be each other's forever. I opened my eyes and looked at my reflection in the mirror. The happiness was so great that I couldn't keep the tears at bay. We decided on an informal ceremony on the beach before sunset. sunset. Solstice Island was the chosen location. There, six months after an intense night, Damien and I exchanged the vows that would last the rest of our lives. rest of our lives.

    - No, no, no... - He pulled me close and wrapped his suit around my waist. I wanted to help him, but I was feeling weak and dizzy.- My love, don't... - Damien sobbed and his lips touched my forehead. - It's all my fault...I reached out slowly and took his arm. He hadn't forgotten me. He had come back to me, as he had promised. And although I was in a lot of pain, my heart warmed inside with happiness.- You came back... But when you called me... I thought...- Ellen, forgive me... - her fingers brushed my right cheek.- It was supposed to be a surprise... I wanted to make you happy...He seemed to despair even more and his sobs became louder.I held his face between my hands.- It's all right... Damien, I... - I felt a twinge and let out a groan, but I didn't give up. I had been foolish to hide my feelings from him and now there was no turning back. It was the deadline. - I love you. I love you with everything I am.Damien let out an agonized moan and more thick tears rolled down hi

    I spent Monday trying to distract myself. I bought ice cream and rented romantic comedies to watch, even alone. Jenny and Arianna tried to persuade me to go to a club in Urca, but I refused on the grounds of feeling unwell. Which, in a way, wasn't a lie. They accepted my excuses, but assured me that they would come and visit me later.At lunchtime, I put a supermarket lasagna in the oven and mixed it with some rice. At times I couldn't help shedding a few tears and convinced myself that I was only doing it out of emotion for a few scenes in the movies. At least that's what I'd tell Julia and David when they arrived in the evening. I curled up on the sofa and stared at my cell phone. I'd called Arianna just before four o'clock, but she hadn't picked up or returned my call. She must still be at the club with Jenny. So I kept my cell phone in my hand, staring at his name.I should have told Damien. Told him how I felt. He was right when he said he was the only one fighting for what we ha

    I watched the black liquid drip down and gradually fill the cup with dishes of the same color. I continued to pour it slowly and without any pretense of paying attention to the task at hand. That's how I'd been acting since that morning after the Solstice.The cup finally reached the goal I had hoped for. I sighed and brought it to my lips, trying to convince myself to face the hours that awaited me outside. I concentrated only on the taste of the strong coffee for a few moments, but soon the scene was back in my mind. His blue eyes had a melancholy glow and were as hazy as the cloudy morning sky when we arrived at theinternational airport. He tried to convince me to accept the keys to his house one more time, but I stood firm in my decision.Finally giving up, he gently took my hand and brought it to his lips, placing a kiss full of devotion under my skin. I choked back a sob and Damien moved closer, placing his cupped hand on my left cheek.- Are you sure you don't want to come wit

    He seemed to hesitate and then let out a long sigh.- I need to go back. - He revealed what I already knew, but added something more.Things in New York have changed a lot and I'll have no choice but to leave. My trip is scheduled for tomorrow. - Then I finally understood what was happening. The whole thing was our farewell. It was to end our relationship. I felt my heart speed up and then tighten in my chest. This was the momentthat I had always dreaded, even though I knew it was bound to happen. Damien and I were from different worlds and at some point the gap between us would become apparent.- It's all right. - I stroked the hair on the back of his neck and held his gaze, but when I felt my eyes getting teary, I put my face on his shoulder. - I'll understand.I had nothing to complain about. When we got together, our time together became something precious to me. So it wasn't fair to spoil the moments he had prepared for us with tears.- Ellen. - Damien called me, but I couldn't

    Damien rested his free hand on my waist and we walked to the garage as if we were once again going to one of the usual parties. He chose the Ferrari this time and before long we were crossing Rio de Janeiro.Damien kept silent about our destination and really surprised me when he maneuvered the car and parked it in front of the international airport.- You'll be well looked after, Mr. Mason. - A man in a suit with an airport badge met us. - The platform is ready for you.- Platform? - I looked at Damien without understanding.He just smiled and led me into the airport. Another employee greeted us with a smile and I was stunned when we stepped onto the take-off platform.- Your private jet is ready, sir. I wish you a safe journey.He waved goodbye.- Jet? Damien, we're going...- We're going somewhere special. And since I know how much you like that airplane movie, I got a bit of inspiration since I know how to fly and I think I look better than Tom Cruise. - I let out a laugh.- Wait

    David had a huge smile on his face when he entered the house and the first thing he did was announce that it was time to catch up on his series. Jenny and Arianna were also with us. Aunt Meiry had gone to the hospital, but couldn't follow us home, promising to come and see us later.- Things seem to be getting back to normal. - Arianna glared at me as I finished sorting out the chocolate cake I had made for David.- Yeah. It looks like they are. - I agreed.- What is it, Ell? - Jenny stopped pouring herself a soft drink next to me and stared at me. - You don't seem very excited.- I am. - I smiled at her. - I'm very happy that David is finally home.- But... - Jenny insisted. - You can't fool us, my friend. Go ahead.She gestured to Arianna who went to the door leading to the living room and then came back.- David is explaining something about that series he likes to Julia and Renata. We can talk about it.- I'm fine. - I assured them. They both looked at me incredulously. - Damien i
