He kept knocking on the door, without a break.- Should I hit him too? – Salma asked.- Sick! I yelled from the inside. - Crazy!- Okay, you asked Babi: I would never stay with you because I love Milena. - He said, outside. “And yes, I have had a relationship with her in the past… And I was the father of the baby she lost.Salma and Ben looked at me.- Strong drooling. You can't miss this. Ben arched an eyebrow.- Fuck, I'm going to sleep, because surely now he's going to stop screaming, because you're going to open the door, right? – Salma asked me.I got up and opened the door, looking at his red face and blue eyes flashing with anger.My friends were leaving and Ben stopped in the hallway, saying,- I'm watching you, Sebastian. Whatever, I finish the job I started.- You slapped me, damn it! he yelled at Ben, who didn't care, leaving.I pointed my finger at him to sit on the couch. I used the armchair, facing him.- Start, Sebastian... Starting with the part of why you're after me
- My right? I arched an eyebrow.- Of course, after all you've worked, you deserve to be there. I know how to be a very grateful man, believe me. And now, for God's sake, understand that I'm not chasing you, I'm not jealous of Hector and much less... Into you.- Okay, you've already made it clear that you're not into me... Ever since. - I started to laugh. - I confess I think you're a hottie, boss.He immediately blushed and his blue eyes narrowed:- You are beautiful, Baby. But...- You don't need to justify yourself, Sebastian. Everything is fine. I prefer you with Milena, believe me. Because it's one less for me to get out of Hector's way.- Milena never liked Hector... She was always mine.- “ Mine”... Why do you men have this habit of saying that everything is yours? We women don't belong to anyone.- Heitor already said that you are his, by any chance?I lowered my eyes, not responding. Yes, he had said. And let's just say I wasn't that offended.- I kill him.- What? – I stared
I arrived at the hospital with sore fingers from so many times I called Hector and his phone remained off.He'd think I just missed our date on purpose, without even giving an explanation. But I had a reason... My grandmother was the only thing I had in my life, my blood relative... What was left of my mother, my family.I waited over three hours before they let me in to see her. She was in Intensive Care, but as I had come from far away and was her only family member, they allowed me to stay for a maximum of fifteen minutes, to reassure her.Mandy was in a more remote space, inside the Intensive Care room itself. Lying on a bed, with several wired devices attached to her body. I approached and felt a pain in my heart to see how pale she was. I touched her icy hand and she opened her eyes, pressing her fingers to mine.- Baby...- Hi, Mandy. How it feels?- I don't think I died, do I? Or are you the one who welcomes people to heaven? She smiled, with difficulty.- He didn't. He's in t
- And the other one wasn't? he asked, ironically. - Sit down. – he said seriously.Okay, it wasn't a life-and-death affair where I needed to quit and run, although yes, I was in a bit of a hurry. I still needed to go back that day to the city where I lived most of my life.I looked at Sebastian. We had known each other for a short time, but we had a certain connection from the first moment we saw each other. There, facing him, I even remembered when I was in that same chair, asking for a job, two months ago. His interested look and request for sincerity during the interview.I still wasn't sure if I was really in Perrone for my intellectual capacity or to serve as revenge against Heitor Casanova. I was also trying to understand why Sebastian was trying to keep me there at all costs, even though I had asked for an advance on the second day of work, being involved, or rather, “being” involved with the man he hated, having meddled in life. his personal and still giving him a slap, follow
I pressed the elevator button that would take me to the top floor. My heart felt out of control and I wasn't even sure why. I wanted explanations much more than I had to explain.My grandmother got sick and I had to go... And Hector's fucking phone was off. What I feared most was what he would say about Cindy Connor answering his phone.I entered the gigantic reception room. There were two men waiting, both handsome and wearing suits. I went directly to one of the secretaries:- I want to talk to Heitor Casanova.She looked up at me:- Do you have an appointment?- No. But tell him it's Barbara.- Barbara of what? – the other interjected.- He knows what... - I smiled and seconds later I got serious. - Now!The two looked at each other and laughed.- May I know why you are laughing? Will you call Hector or will I have to go in unannounced?- He is in an important conversation and I can guarantee that it will take time. - One of them said, without looking at my face and they both laugh
I went there to ask for an explanation... We didn't talk to anything and my panties were already soaked and all my body did was cry out for him. I wouldn't see Hector anytime soon again. I had no idea how long it would take my grandmother to get better, and I wasn't even sure if I would return to the capital.Once again my life was turned upside down. And just at the moment I thought everything was falling into place: a good job, a possible romantic relationship after so much time alone...Hector led me to the glass table and spread my legs, placing his body between them. I felt his tongue on mine and then I realized how much I was involved and in love with that man and that he missed me a lot in those miserable two days, that is, 48 hours. What would become of me?The kiss was getting hotter and more intense and I felt it when his mouth seemed to want to devour me and my lips didn't leave her, completely. Hector's scent was killing my sanity... The expensive perfume mixed with all th
- My grandmother is all I have. I can't leave you.- And can you leave me? His voice changed.- It doesn't seem like my absence shook you much, since I found you with the blonde with the middle dick, does it?- Why do you always make things difficult for me, the fuck? He ran his fingers through his hair.- You didn't tell me what exactly she was doing here. I already gave my explanations about what I went to do on Saturday... And it was a serious case of illness. I remember you promised me you'd break up with Milena and Cindy – I laughed. - It's even funny to say that... Submitting myself to charge you to end your relationship with "two women". How far have I come...- Cindy is not an easy woman.- I'm giving a fuck about this.- I'll need it.- What do you mean "need it"? I frowned, in disbelief at what he was saying.- I don't have another reliable person to take over Babylon.- Heitor, are you trying to say that we are going to be a couple, however your ex will take care of your mi
Two days after my arrival in the countryside, I received a call from Hector. To say that my legs didn't immediately shake and my heart didn't beat faster would be a lie.Oh Hector, how I wish you could tell me right now that you sent Cindy out of your life, your home, your country... If that's what you called me for, I'll be yours forever. But if not... You will meet my fury."Hi..." I said, trying not to sound nervous.- I just can't stand to miss you. – He said at once.- This sentence can be changed. May I suggest it be “Barbara, I miss you so much.” What do you think?- You fucking understand. What a habit you have of trying to confuse me... And make me even crazier than I already am.- You can change this to: Barbara, without you I can't even think straight...- Fuck, when are you coming back?- This one you replace with: “How is your grandmother? I hope well."He was silent on the other end of the line, but I could hear his nervous breathing.- Tell me Cindy is not in charge of
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'
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
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
