The day didn't start well for me, and encountering Othon as soon as I leave home doesn't make it any more promising. I take a deep breath, trying to control the anger bubbling inside me at all the twists and turns fate is throwing my way. My car wouldn't start, my dad woke up with a bad flu, which prevents him from helping in any way, and my mom needs to take care of him. I'm running late to drop Otávio off at school, and trying to get to work on time seems like an impossible mission.
I'm having a hard time calling a ride-sharing car, and it seems like the universe is conspiring against me. Othon's offer would be perfect under normal circumstances, but nothing is normal when it comes to him. I would never get into a car with him and Otávio, no matter how convenient it might be.

OthonI arrived home from work at the usual time, but today I was more anxious than ever. As I passed by the neighbors' house, I noticed something unusual: Karen and Otávio were together. This change intrigued me, as it was always the grandparents who took care of Otávio at this time.I decided not to make a fuss and take the opportunity to find Karen and talk to her. I quickly changed clothes and took Bart out for a walk. How could she not recognize me? However, upon arriving in front of my house, disappointment flooded over me. Karen and Otávio were no longer there.Certainly, Karen saw my arrival and decided not to continue with Otávio in the same place. It was evident that she was avoiding me, there was no doubt about it.I w

KarenAs I sit at the table of that trendy nightclub next to Camila, I begin to question again if this is really a good idea. Camila, always perceptive to my internal dilemmas, scolds me with a mischievous smile, saying that I'm not dead and need to enjoy life a little more. I chuckle at her exaggeration but decide not to argue. I know Camila well enough to know that when she decides something, it's better not to go against it.Camila had decided that we needed to celebrate my recent achievement: the new job at Central Hospital. And Camila wouldn't take "no" for an answer. My parents also insisted that I should go out a bit, something rare since Otávio was born.So there we were, amidst pulsating music and colorful lights, celebrating a new phase of my life that had barely begun. I felt grateful

OthonI felt bewildered by the turn of events of the night; I was dancing with Karen! It was such a surprise that it felt like floating in the face of something so unexpected. When I agreed to accompany my friends to the nightclub, I was far from imagining that I would end up in this situation. But I knew I needed to seize that unique opportunity that fate had prepared for me.However, I wasn't sure how to act. Karen had clearly been trying to avoid me since the moment we reconnected the day before. I didn't want to scare her off, but I needed to address the issue somehow. I decided to go for a direct approach."I know you remember me," I say.Karen's look showed surprise and a slight touch of apprehension, but I didn't look a
Last Updated : 2024-03-22Doctor, My Son is Yours! Causing Jealousy
KarenAs I danced with Othon, my greatest desire was to confront him, to ask him outright what happened to the fiancée and the child I had expected. I even imagined the moment he would respond with a sardonic smile, "What fiancée?" as if he were innocent, and I would tell him that I had uncovered his lies, that I knew he was a big liar. But I wouldn't have the courage to go that far. The truth was, I feared his reaction and didn't want to relive the painful emotions of that past.Being a big coward, I just pretended not to know him, trying to ignore the feeling that he knew more than he was letting on. When I finally managed to escape from Othon's arms, I felt a temporary relief. But soon I realized that I needed to do something to make him understand that I wasn't interested in him. He couldn't continue insisting on reminding me of our encounter in Fernando de Noronha. I didn't know how long I could resist his advances, and I needed to find a way to make that clear to him.I discreet

OthonI was determined to take Karen home. After all, it made no sense for her to take a taxi when we lived so close to each other. However, I had already realized that the chances of Karen accepting anything from me were practically nil. So, I used a determined tone of voice, leaving no room for argument, to let everyone know that I would take her home myself.My determination didn't seem to faze Karen, as she protested immediately, as I had imagined she would."You don't need to take me home. I'll get a taxi," she insisted, trying to break free."No, you're not taking a taxi when we're neighbors, Karen! I'll take you. It's the least I can do," I insisted, gently holding onto her arm, determined to convince her."But..." she began, but I interrupted her."No discussion. Let's go," I said, guiding her towards my car.It was time to show her that I could be insistent when I felt it was necessary. Even if she didn't want my company, I was willing to ensure her safety at home."Don't be
Last Updated : 2024-03-24Doctor, My Son is Yours! Dream or Reality
KarenI feel as if I'm floating in a sea of clouds when a voice breaks the silence around me. Someone is calling my name, but I'm so immersed in the unconsciousness of sleep that I don't know if I'm dreaming or if it's reality. The voice is familiar and very much like Othon's, the man I met in Fernando de Noronha and who completely changed the course of my life.In this state of subconsciousness, likely caused by fatigue and alcohol, I let myself be enveloped by yet another dream with the father of my child. It's a bittersweet sensation because, on one hand, being in my dreams allows me to relive wonderful moments with him, but on the other hand, it's also a reminder of something that will never happen again.Despite that, I don't want to wake up. Not now. Not when I'm so close to feeling your touch, e

OthonI'm in the kitchen, savoring my coffee, when Colin joins me."How was it with Karen last night?" Colin asks, his curiosity evident in his tone.I take a sip of coffee before responding, choosing my words carefully."She continues to act as if she doesn't remember me, but it's clear she's lying."Colin furrows his brow, intrigued."So, you guys couldn't resolve anything?"I sigh."No, Colin, she keeps playing this game. She fell asleep in the car, and when she woke up, she thought she was dreaming, even called me by name."Col

KarenI am determined to avoid any encounter with Othon, especially after the embarrassment of the previous night. The fact that I'm dreaming about him is something that makes me extremely uncomfortable, and I fear he might come seeking explanations about it. So when Otávio calls me during lunch to go for a walk in the street while he rides his skateboard, I agree on the condition that we go earlier than usual.I already have an idea of the time Othon usually goes out for a walk with his dog, and I plan to avoid any coincidence. I don't want to risk crossing paths with him.As I accompany Otávio around the neighborhood, I watch him with pride as he gains more confidence on the skateboard with each turn. He seems so happy and focused that for a moment I find myself lost in thought.

Doctor, My Son is Yours! Suspicions
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
