As soon as we descended the steps of the side stairs, the ceremony still going on, we went outside.What was my surprise when I found Anya and Breno talking to Nic, while Maria Lua was on her lap, with Be on her lap.I ran over to them, nearly falling, my stiletto heels sinking into the soft grass.I stopped between them and Nic, preventing them from seeing my daughter:- What are you doing here? – I asked, feeling the anger build up inside me.- We... We just came to see the girl. – Anya said.- You can't see her. She is our daughter. – Hector spoke firmly – If you approach again, I will ask for a protective measure against you.- We really just wanted to see the girl. After all, we don't want to have the same end as Daniel. – Breno said.- I don't understand... - I played dumb.- Do you really think we believe that Daniel disappeared or left? He just disappeared from the country.- We don't know about him - I said - And I don't even want to know.- Well, unlike my wife, I know what
As soon as I entered the room, accompanied by the doctor, I saw my father wrapped in a bunch of wires that controlled his every move. She knew how much he hated that situation and the reason why he ran away: everything was repeated, it had happened before.I approached the bed and took his hand, which he squeezed.- I am tired. – He said, eyes closed.- So rest.- It's complicated to know that we won't see each other anymore... - His eyes were still closed - I'll miss you.- No, you won't miss it. But I'll go...- I know I wasn't a perfect father. And for that I apologize. But understand, it was never with bad intentions. I always loved you, no matter how much of a motherfucker I was.- I think everyone has a motherfucking phase in life. The good thing is, we may realize that one day. You did the best you could.- Make every drop of my sweat count ... But don't put North B. above your family like I did.- I will not do that. Don't worry.- Now... Give me a kiss, my son. And go! I don'
- I regret to inform you that you have endometriosis. - said the doctor.endometriosis. Okay, I've heard of it. But I never Googled the meaning.- And... Is this serious? I asked worriedly.- Endometriosis is when the endometrium, which is this mucosa... - He showed in the kind of toy he had containing a uterus and all its parts that he had on the table. – Which lines the inside of your uterus, grows in other regions of the body...- Like this? I arched an eyebrow in panic.- Calm down... I'll take all your doubts. Continuing: monthly the endometrium gets thicker so that an egg, after being fertilized, can implant in it. When there is no pregnancy, it flakes off and is expelled during menstruation. Endometriosis is when some of these cells are not expelled and fall into the ovaries or abdominal cavity, where they multiply and bleed again. So they can spread to other parts of the body, such as the intestine, bladder, peritoneum... – he was showing each organ that he spoke with the pen,
- I took into account your opinion, yes. – I replied.- Swear, honey? Ben looked at me.- If you had listened to us , you wouldn't have wasted eight years of your life involved with that rubbish. And still judge me. – Salma sat on the other couch, with her legs up, excited to start discussing the most ridiculous part of my life.- I'm free of him and that's what matters. Now I only have one focus: Bon Jovi.The two started to laugh.- While you were with Jardel, was Bon Jovi the lover? Or the other way around? Ben narrowed his eyes, trying not to laugh.- Anything. I shrugged my shoulders. “He was always the true love of my life.- And my Axel Rose, Miss Alice in Wonderland. Ben hugged me. – Don't start making up this story of "I'm going to love someone impossible and be happier if I do".- Ben is right, Babi. Two years have passed. You have to move on.Yes, it had been two years since I got rid of Jardel, my ex - boyfriend. And it wasn't easy. I only got that when he died. And I can'
The dream of anyone in Noriah North would perhaps be to enter Babylon without going through the line, presenting a VIP card. It was almost like having a celebrity pass. But it was not our case, as we would enter through the service door.The Babilônia nightclub was simply gigantic, taking up an entire block. Parking was downstairs, underground. But only those who had the VIP certificate had the right to park there.With elite patrons, since admission was almost the price of a kidney on the black market, the place had women of all types “hunting” for comfort with the bank account of a rich man. And, on the other hand, men who were looking for beautiful, hot and famous women.We lived close by and our best friend worked there and we had never set foot inside.Salma had worked there for many years. But my friend was very correct and never considered giving us free passes, not even through the entrance where today she had decided to go against everything she had told us for years.My curi
- You called me a “disqualified asshole”? Who do you think it is? – he came towards me, furious and I walked back, scared.When he got close, I put my arms in front of my face, fearing he was going to hit me.A long silence hung between us. I slowly withdrew my arms, feeling his eyes on me.- I... I won't hit you. – he said, bewildered.- I... I didn't think it was... - I lied.- Call security and have her removed from here immediately. And demand to be thrown out of the club. Certainly a paparazzi in disguise . - Said the woman.- Papa... Papa... - The word wouldn't come out. The drunkenness prevented me from thinking very well. - I'm just a regular of this shit... It was an accident... I got in the wrong place.- And who can guarantee that you won't spread to the four corners of the world what you saw here? – he said with cold eyes.He wore a white shirt, open a couple of buttons. There was lipstick marks on his collar and chest. I looked up, staring at him and he was sarcastic:- D
- Hello, Ana... How long!I felt her tight hug and returned it. I liked Anna so much. And I've missed you over these two years.- Come in... Please.She walked away and I walked in, standing.- Always feel at home here, Barbara. You know how much I love you.- Thanks. - I said sitting down.- I'll make us some coffee.- No need... I'll be right there. I'm just passing through. I have an appointment right away. – I lied.- Please... I let myself offer you a coffee.I nodded, knowing this could be important to her.Ana went to the kitchen. Certainly the boys were not at home, as it was very quiet in that huge house.I looked at the pictures hanging on the wall and picture frames on the bookshelf. Everything had the image of Jardel... And some of the two of us together. I was still inside her house, as a souvenir.I saw my stamped smile and our kisses from different angles for photos and I was wondering if I was happy in those moments, next to him. Because I remembered the detail of each
- Do you think he has a mistress? And can it be the blonde in the middle of pole dancing? – I asked, now even more curious.- Cindy? He shook his head. – Well, Heitor Casanova is engaged. And the probability of you finding his bride in Babylon is almost zero. But of all his cases, Cindy is the most serious.- The cases? Well, I'd heard about his hot cocksucker syndrome. But that Cindy girl treated me like she was the real owner of everything, believe me.- I don't know how you got to Mr. Casanova... Honestly, this is very difficult. But Cindy really acts like she owns everything. She knows the appreciation the boss has for her.- And the bride?- Well, I don't know anything about her. Google can tell you something.- Cindy is the middle dancer of pole dance, right?- Herself. But we don't talk much. She is treated almost like a celebrity by everyone. And it doesn't mix with the Babylonian officials, even if it is one. Like I said, she's the fucking owner's doll. I'm just the bartender

As soon as we descended the steps of the side stairs, the ceremony still going on, we went outside.What was my surprise when I found Anya and Breno talking to Nic, while Maria Lua was on her lap, with Be on her lap.I ran over to them, nearly falling, my stiletto heels sinking into the soft grass.I stopped between them and Nic, preventing them from seeing my daughter:- What are you doing here? – I asked, feeling the anger build up inside me.- We...

She is our daughter. – Hector spoke firmly – If you approach again, I will ask for a protective measure against you.- We really just wanted to see the girl. After all, we don't want to have the same end as Daniel. – Breno said.- I don't understand... - I played dumb.- Do you really think we believe that Daniel disappeared or left? He just disappeared from the country.- We don't know about him - I said - And I don't even want to know.- Well, unlike my wife, I know what
I straightened my dress one last time before entering the church. Maria Lua couldn't stand still and I feared that the maid of honor wouldn't make it to the altar, being able to run away or run with the rings anywhere, even if she went after Be, the cat who was wearing a tie, lost in the great hall, full of from people I barely knew.Mandy straightened my dress back and said,- I think you chose a very tight dress, dear. I hope it doesn't tear while you're walking to the sound of the wedding march.- Turn your mouth over there, grandma... It would be a shame.- Mandy, honey, if that happens I'll cut your granddaughter's neck. – Ben said, fanning himself with his hand – I'm so nervous! I think I'm going to have a fit, I swear!- Look at me, Ben - I took his face with both hands and stared into his bright eyes, like two gemstones on clean and completely perfect and well-groomed skin - You deserve every second of it... Enjoy your day, my love. my life.He kissed my lips and we instantly
- Mama? Maria extended her arms to me.I felt my heart break into a thousand pieces and I went towards her, being pulled into the house. The door closed and Daniel passed the key.- What do you do here? - He asked.Maria Lua followed with her arms towards me and Daniel prevented me from getting close to her. It was enough for her to start crying vehemently.Celine came towards me and handed me the girl:- I hate her crying. She is spoiled and sly.I closed my eyes, smelling her hair coming through my nostrils. Her skin was warm, the blood circulating in her body, her cheeks rosy.She laid her head on my shoulder and stopped crying immediately.- Mom is here, my love.- Daddy? She looked into my eyes.- Dad too! - I said, seeing a smile on her face, the kind that made me lose my mind and donate a kidney without thinking twice.I wiped the tears that were still on her face and asked:- Are you hungry?She nodded in the affirmative.- What the fuck are you doing here? – Daniel immediatel
- I agree - Allan said - We have many armed and trained men here. If we don't do something now, it will never be done again.Everyone looked at Hector. He glared at me. I felt that something was bothering him, although I agreed with Allan and my brother.- Speak, Hector... - I went to him, taking his hand, without taking my eyes off his. – What do you think about all this?- I'm afraid for Maria Lua. What if Daniel is also armed? What if you're not alone? What if a stray bullet hits our girl? - I noticed a certain panic in his voice.I hadn't thought of that. And he was right. Of course, the will was to finish off Daniel and everyone who was with him. But my daughter was one of the people under his sway.- We can try to talk - Ben suggested - I hate violence, people! Not that I think we have to give in to the blackmail of this disqualified Daniel, but it doesn't hurt to try to resolve it in peace.- In this case, there's no way to resolve it in peace, Ben. – Anon 1 told him.- We do n
- How did you disappear? There's no way for her to disappear. If you left her in the living room, she must be somewhere... She likes to play hide and seek.I got up and ran down the steep wooden stairs. The room was empty.I went to the glass door that faced the street and it was closed but not locked.- There's no way someone could have entered here... And taken her. - I said uncertainly.- She's not in the kitchen - said the housekeeper - Nor in the rooms on the way there.Hector ran downstairs, tucking a coat into his arms:- We need to look everywhere.- How did you know? – I looked at him.- Ben... He heard everything on the phone. And told me.We started looking around the house. The man in charge of the place also helped, but on the outside. After a while, I already knew that my daughter was not in the house.I stepped out onto the street, feeling my feet on the small, fluffy flakes. That moment was supposed to be so perfect. However, all I felt was my heart wanting to jump out
I woke up the next morning completely naked, cuddling with my husband, under a thick blanket, despite the heating, which made the room pleasantly warm.I stroked his arm, which was around my body, with my fingertips, noticing the skin prickling slightly, even when he was asleep. I smiled, sliding carefully to the side of the bed, making no noise.I wrapped myself in the sheet and went to the window, opening the glass, then pushing back the heavy wooden shutter. My heart pounded when I saw the ground starting to turn white and the snow falling shyly.I ran to Hector, shaking him anxiously.- What there was? He opened his eyes a little, covering himself up to his head.I pulled back the covers, finding a perfectly naked man on the bed, thin, with little body hair and a perfect abs.- Damn, how cold! – he said, looking at the window – Are you crazy, Barbara? Do you want to freeze me to death?- It's snowing! - I started jumping like a child, amazed, as I went back to the window.I reache
The Perrone estate wasn't far from the airport. In less than thirty minutes we arrived at the winery, which also housed the house where my brother was born and raised.Although we didn't feel it, as we were sheltered inside the car, the intense cold was visible on the street, even with the sun rising timidly between the mountains.Yes, I was surprised to see the extent of land that belonged and still belonged to my family.As soon as Anon had reached the main gate, we started up the steep path down the road where all you could see on either side were vines, lined up in millimeters, looking lifeless, with gray stems and not a single leaf.- My God! It's all dead! Poor Sebastian when he finds out about this. - I watched, feeling my heart sink.Hector laughed before explaining:- Didn't you study about grapes, even though you worked in a wine company, Mrs. Perrone?- Actually, at this time, I wasn't very focused on it, Mr. Disqualified.- I remember well... Your only concern was to bothe
That's how, hours later, we boarded a private jet, owned by the CEO of North B., bound for Italy.- At last, she rested. – Nicolete said, when, finally, Maria Lua slept on her lap, still on the flight.- I don't understand how she has so much energy. - I said, while gathering the toys that she threw on the floor, putting them in the bag.- I think the cat was happy to have a little slack. - Nicolette started to laugh.- No, Nicolete, she barely had time to play with him.- I thought he might lose his tail. She couldn't contain her laughter.I kissed my sleeping little one on the cheek.- I'll take her to rest with me and Hector.- No way! I stay with her. Go pay attention to your husband. Don't worry about this little hurricane I can handle.I went to the chair at the front and saw Anon in a deep sleep, with her head propped against the window.- This one sure hated the trip. – I said softly, since he and Malu were sleeping.- Certainly. He took him away from Ben. He's not the type to
