As Valquíria packed her suitcase for the trip to Curitiba, I tried to convince her to change her mind.
"Do you really think it's a good idea to go to Curitiba now?" I asked, trying to show my concern. "Othon will find it strange you're back in Curitiba so soon..."
"Colin, I've made up my mind. There's no point in trying to dissuade me," Valquíria said firmly.
Valquíria's determination to go to Curitiba was evident, and nothing I said seemed to cause any doubt in her mind. However, I did not doubt that a trip with the sole purpose of disrupting the relationship between Karen and Othon would only bring confusion and more problems.
I couldn't think of anything else to say because everything I said in an attemp

OthonDays went by without me finding an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Fisher about the situation involving my relationship with Karen and our child. I understood how busy she must be, but as hours turned into days, my restlessness only grew. I didn't want to keep my relationship with Karen a secret. After all, we had a child together, and it was simply inconceivable to me that we would continue to meet clandestinely, especially when it wasn't our choice.Karen asked us to wait until I had the opportunity to openly discuss our situation with Mrs. Fisher before making our relationship public. Her logic was clear and reasonable, and I agreed with her. However, I underestimated the difficulty of finding a break in the busy schedule of the hospital owner. Each passing day increased my anxiety and the need to resolve the situation once and for all.

KarenI was starting to get impatient with Othon's delay. We had agreed to go to the movies, and more than twenty minutes had passed since the agreed time. Otávio was also restless and kept asking questions, which I wasn't handling well. Depending on a third person to do activities with my son wasn't easy for me."Mom, why isn't dad here yet? We're not going to miss the movie, right?" Otávio said, with a slightly irritated tone.I tried to calm him down, but inside, I was also becoming increasingly worried. Othon never is late like this, especially when it comes to spending time with Otávio.“Could you go to dad's house and see what's going on?" Otávio suggested for the tenth time.Otávio's insistence on me going to Othon's house was also becoming increasingly irritating. I hesitated, preferring to wait a little longer, but faced with my son's impatience, I eventually gave in.“Alright, Otávio. I'll go to your father's house and call him," I said, trying to keep calm.Otávio agreed an

OthonWhen I arrived home, it was already past seven in the evening. I would have liked to prolong the outing a bit more, but Otávio was already complaining of tiredness, so we decided to head back home earlier. Besides, I couldn't help but think about Valquíria, alone in my house. She came to Curitiba especially to tell me the story involving Colin, and I should have been more attentive to my sister.After dropping off Karen and Otávio at home, the memory of the strange conversation I had with Valquíria came back to worry me. Valquíria's behavior had left me uncomfortable and at a loss for words. She couldn't seem to understand her insistence that I sever ties with Colin definitively, without even hearing his side of the story about the condom issue.I couldn't help but defend my friend, of course. I tried to argue with Valquíria about the importance of a friendship as long-standing as ours with Colin and the need to understand the full context before jumping to conclusions. However,

KarenI was finishing my breakfast when the doorbell rang, making my heart leap in my chest. A feeling of hope mixed with anxiety spread through me. My parents and I exchanged glances, all wondering who could be ringing the doorbell at that time of the morning.Otávio's childish and curious voice broke the silence, expressing our thoughts by asking who could be at the door. None of us could answer, equally intrigued by the unexpected visit.The doorbell rang again, showing impatience on the part of the person at the door. My father commented that the person on the other side seemed to be in a hurry. I hurriedly got up, leaving my coffee cup half full."I'll get the door," I announced.As I approached the door, my curiosity increased. Secretly, I wished it was Othon, as we barely had time to talk after the outing with Otávio. However, I found that it was Valquíria.A wave of negative surprise hit me hard. My eyes widened in shock, and for a moment I was speechless, processing Othon's s

KarenI wasn't surprised by what happened after Valquíria's visit, and I perfectly understood the reason for the delay in Othon's reaction. He called me, wanting to know what I had said to his sister, as Valquíria had arrived home crying profusely."Karen, what happened? Why is Valquíria like this?" Othon's voice sounded concerned on the other end of the line."I didn't do anything, Othon. Valquíria came here, first insulted me, and then started a whole act of being a good aunt, and now you're accusing me?" My frustration was evident in my response."Sorry, Karen, that's not what I meant. I'm just trying to understand what happened."His lack of trust deeply irritated me. In a rash an

KarenWhile indignation still simmered within me, I noticed the confused looks from Camila and Noah directed at me and Colin. That sense of disbelief consumed me, but at the same time, the confusion of my friends only increased my frustration. How could I explain to them what was happening when I could barely believe it myself?Feeling like a fool for not recognizing Valquíria as the same woman who deceived me in the hotel room in Fernando de Noronha, I realized that my words had been disjointed and full of curses, explaining nothing to the other two. Colin hadn't shared anything with Noah and Camila."What's going on?" Camila broke the silence, her confused expression reflecting her bewilderment. "What do Valquíria and Othon's fake fiancée have to do with each other?"

OthonI had no idea how long I had been staring at the ceiling of my room, but it was certainly quite some time. After getting up and looking out the window, I found that night had already fallen. The fact was that I was perplexed by the tension between Valquíria and Karen. It was as if two parts of my world were on a collision course, and I didn't know how to intervene.I walked to the bathroom, still lost in thought, and faced my reflection in the marble countertop mirror. I made a mental note to shave before heading to work the next morning. That night, all I needed was a good night's sleep, something I found difficult to achieve.On one hand, there's the unwavering love I feel for my sister, with whom I've always had a peaceful, conflict-free relationship. On the other hand, there's Karen, t

Working at Central Hospital had always been more than just a job to me; it was my passion. Ever since I decided to study nursing, I dreamed of being part of the team there. Now, seeing that dream crumble before me was distressing.As I walked down the corridor toward the nurses' locker room, I felt a heaviness in my chest, a mix of sadness and indignation. Why did my relationship with Othon have to cost me my career? It was unfair, downright cruel. I fought the urge to break down right there, maintaining my composure and holding back the tears.Upon reaching the locker room, I gathered my things, thinking of all that I was about to lose. But I did

ColinThe moment of meeting with Letícia came quicker than I expected. As I sat in the car, staring at Letícia's front door, a knot formed in my stomach. I had spent the last few days trying to sort things out with my family, but nothing compared to the nervousness that now consumed me. Taking a deep breath, and trying to gather my courage, I finally got out of the car.I walked up to Letícia's door, and before ringing the doorbell, I hesitated for a second. Would she believe me after everything? Could I prove to her that I was here to stay? Without further delay, I rang the doorbell and waited.The door opened, revealing Letícia with a look of apprehension mixed with determination. Even in her simplicity, she looked radiant, and for a moment, I was at a loss for words.
Doctor, My Son is Yours! Finally, News
LetíciaThe week passed without any news from Colin. At first, I believed in his intention to truly take responsibility. I even discussed with my mother the possibility of not allowing Colin to be part of our lives. She, with her wisdom and calmness, made me see that it wouldn't be fair to deny our child the right to know his father, as long as he was willing to be a positive presence."Daughter, we all make mistakes. If Colin truly wants to be present, you should give him that chance," my mom pointed out.But as the days passed in silence, I began to think that everything he had said was nothing but lies and deceit. Cynically, I thought he must be just like his twin brother, a liar. However, this realization didn't stop the sadness from settling in. I attributed these feelings to pregnancy horm
Doctor, My Son is Yours! A New Chance
ColinI returned to São Paulo with a heavy heart. The memory of the pain in Letícia's eyes haunted me. She accused me of things I would never do. The shock of discovering Patrick's involvement gave everything a new perspective. How could he? Despite our disagreements, I never imagined he would stoop so low. I need to sort this out. Clarify everything and somehow try to correct the wrong that has been done to Letícia.But the desire to do things right this time, coupled with the fear of causing more damage to our relationship, left me confused and unsure of what to do next. Patrick's revelation once again meddling in my life was like a punch to the gut. He crossed all boundaries this time, meddling in something as serious and intimate as Letícia's decision about her pregnancy.Letícia... her name echoed in my mind, bringing back memories of that one unforgettable night we spent together. A night that changed everything. I knew I shouldn't let myself be affected so much by someone I bar
Doctor, My Son is Yours! Painful Memories
Continuation - Four months agoLetíciaYears passed, and I tried to move on. My mother was my rock through it all. She worked hard so that I could study and become a doctor. She did everything to make up for my father's absence, but that absence was a wound that was hard to heal.However, fate has its twists and turns. One day, without warning, someone rang the doorbell of our house, and when I opened the door, there he was, Osvaldo, the man I hadn't seen in years.My father, the stranger who had abandoned me. He looked older, and tired, but he still had that smile I remembered from childhood."Letícia, I...," he began, but couldn't finish the sentence.The shock left me paralyzed for a few seconds. I wanted to scream, cry, and ask why, but I just stood there, looking at him. Finally, I managed to say something."What are you doing here?" My voice came out colder than I intended, but I couldn't hide the pain and anger.He sighed, seeming to search for the right words."I heard you gra
Doctor, My Son is Yours! Memories
LetíciaI spent a long time awake that night, tossing and turning in bed, thinking about the past and my ghosts. Hearing about the crazy story involving not only Colin and his twin brother but also Othon's sister made me reflect not only on what was haunting him that night we met at the bar but also on what led me there.All of that stirred up a still-open wound in me. It was hard to simply forgive Colin and involve him in my child's pregnancy after so much hurt. Finding out that he didn't cause it didn't seem to change much within me.I've always dreamed of having a child to give all the love in the world to. I love children; that's why I chose to be a pediatrician. But I wasn't prepared to have a child by a stranger, whom I only remembered the name of. He introduced himself as Colin Salles as soon as we toasted and
Doctor, My Son is Yours! A Long Story
LetíciaThe meeting with Colin was very different from what I expected. When I decided to look for him, I imagined he might use all sorts of excuses to justify his rude behavior when I told him about the pregnancy. But it never crossed my mind that he would use the excuse that his twin brother had impersonated him.As I walked back home, trying to process everything he had told me, I found myself torn between believing or not believing this story. I didn't doubt that he had a twin brother; after all, that wasn't so extraordinary. What left me incredulous was that this brother could be so despicable as to impersonate Colin and mistreat the woman who was pregnant with his brother's child. But, as Colin himself had said, it wouldn't be difficult to find out if he was telling the truth about something so serious.When I
Doctor, My Son is Yours! Revealing Conversation
ColinThe first thing that caught my attention when Letícia entered the café was her protruding belly. It was subtle but a few months into pregnancy. She looked radiant and beautiful, but the coldness with which she treated me quickly refocused my attention on what truly mattered at that moment.As we sat down, I still felt somewhat incredulous that Letícia had agreed to meet me. Even more shocking was that she had reached out to me, and set up the meeting. Now we could talk more calmly and clarify things between us."Thank you for coming, Letícia," I began, trying to find a friendly tone.She only nodded in agreement, her eyes not meeting mine directly. I noticed her gaze shifting to the table next to us, where the waiter had just left some doughnuts
Doctor, My Son is Yours! Decisive Encounter
LetíciaI woke up that Saturday with a sense of excitement I hadn't felt in a while. The idea of starting to buy things for my baby was thrilling, even though I still didn't know their gender. As I had my breakfast, my mind was filled with thoughts of baby clothes, toys, and everything else I could buy. I had the day free and wanted to make the most of it.I mentioned to my mom about my desire to start shopping, but also about Karen being on her honeymoon and not wanting to go alone. My mom then suggested that I invite Camila."You and Camila have been getting along so well, Letícia. Why don't you invite her to go with you? I'm sure she'd love to."She was right. Camila had been a great friend, always there and willing to help. I grabbed my phone and called her.
Doctor, My Son is Yours! Restlessness
ColinBack in São Paulo, I can't stop thinking about Letícia and all the confusion this story has become. Her image is always present, disturbing me with every moment of silence. While I try to focus on the new project for an important client, I feel restless and uninspired. Normally, my work as an architect flows easily; I have a well-established company in the market and have always been recognized for my creativity and efficiency. However, days have passed since Othon's wedding and I still haven't been able to regain my rhythm.If I were honest with myself, I couldn't attribute my lack of concentration to the time I spent in a coma in the hospital. I was already physically and mentally recovered before the weekend wedding. No, this restlessness had a name: Letícia.My phone vibrates on the table, interrupting my thoughts. Othon's name appears on the screen, and I answer with a sigh."Colin, my friend, how are you? I heard you already knew Letícia," he says, and I can almost hear th
