I wish I could talk to Anon more, but my head has never been so confused in my life. It was a mix between wanting to go and at the same time staying that I couldn't explain. Strong feelings that came to ache inside me at the same time as fear haunted me in a way I've never seen before.If Hector continued to be that debauched and characterless man I saw a few months ago, it would be easy to say goodbye. But the new Hector I was getting to know was so sweet and kind that it made me want to throw myself at his feet, doing exactly what he wanted.Why had life been so cruel to me? Why did Jardel appear so many years ago? What is his purpose in my life? Show me how horrible a man could be and destroy the good part of me that still existed?I often thought he had come to make me grow. But now he doubted it. Jardel came to finish me off and ruin even my future.My heart said: Play, Barbara! Hector is the love of your life. You stayed with him when the man had two wives and now that he's will
- Thanks for the surprise. We love the reception. - Thank you.- I didn't do it. I just got the idea.- And who did? - I was curious.- This person here. – Showed Milena next to him on the screen.- Milena? I felt my heart beat faster. - You are...- Together. - She showed her ring finger, which had a ring.- My God! It can not be.- Thank you, Cupid. She smiled sincerely.- You don't know how happy I am for you.- And I for Sebastian have a sister who changed things between the Casanovas and Perrone... At least for now. He rolled his eyes.- And his mother? – I asked.- She does not know.- But you'll know soon enough. – Sebastian justified.- But... Are you in Noriah North?- No. We are in my apartment in Italy.- Living together?- No... Not exactly. But soon, yes. – Milena said, looking at him. – I was in Noriah North until yesterday. I organized your apartment and then flew straight here. And so we are.- Love on an air shuttle, with stopovers at least. – I played.- And your mot
When I arrived at the hospital, nearly an hour after Ben called, I found him and Daniel at the front desk. As soon as they saw me, the two came towards me at the same time and hugged me tightly. I noticed the reddened eyes of Ben, who had certainly been crying and the expression of sadness on Daniel's face.- How is she? Tell me it's okay.- It is not alright. Daniel pressed his lips together, trying not to make them quiver like when he started the sentence.- Any news? Is Maria Luna born yet?- We're just told to wait, wait and wait… – Daniel continued distressed.I looked at Ben, who wiped away the stubborn tear that was trying to fall. I went to him and pressed him against my body:- You can cry if you want. Don't hold it to yourself. I'll be here and you can use my shoulder.- She'll make it. I know it will. She did everything right... Everything. - He said.- I thought the same thing. Of course God wouldn't leave a newborn baby without a mother, would He? Who will sing “ You are
As soon as my performance was over, I got off the glass stage and went to the dressing room. My heart was pounding and I knew it wasn't from fatigue or adrenaline from the night. It was fear and anxiety that I felt at that moment.I should be removing my makeup and getting ready to leave. But not that night.Some of the dancers were talking and I stood there, staring at myself in the mirror. There was a time when I didn't like being a redhead. Today I accepted myself and I knew that just because I was a redhead, I caught the attention of some men. Even freckles didn't bother me anymore and my green eyes have been compared to emeralds.But I didn't want to get all the men's attention anymore. I only wanted the attention of one: Heitor Casanova. The thing is, the bastard never looked in my direction. Inside Babylon, he only had eyes for Cindy and no one else.- Do you think she made “macumba” for him, Salma?- Hey? I looked in the direction of the girls, who were cleaning the makeup off
- She just needs this: love and affection. And medical follow-up. I would like to continue following her development.- Maria Lua is a warrior, like her mother. - I spoke.- I still haven't called the father. He doesn't know what happened."He's not the father," I said. – He was Salma's boyfriend.- I see... So... Are you familiar?- Friend.- Where are her relatives?- Far away. And they don't have the financial or emotional capacity to take care of the baby.- So I think we have a problem here.- Like this? I arched an eyebrow, confused.- Say goodbye to the baby and let's talk a minute outside. - She said.- It's all right. I nodded, still trying to understand what she meant.The doctor left and the nurse remained there, sitting, making some notes.I looked at the perfect girl snuggled up to me and a mixture of feelings took over my entire being. It was the sense of loss with the euphoria of a child's arrival. I wanted to scream, cry and at the same time smile to myself.- I'll tak
Ben was attended to, medicated, had his hand bandaged and taken home by Daniel. Although I wanted to stay with me, I didn't allow it. He needed sleep and rest. I was very emotionally shaken. If I was shaken? God, she was completely wrecked inside. But he knew how to deal with loss, with horrible pain that seemed to have no end, and with a body that could barely stand. I was an expert in life's tricks. I watched Maria Lua through the glass until my legs could no longer support the weight of my body. So I went into the Maternity reception room and sat down, leaning my head back and closing my eyes. I was thinking about so many things at once that I couldn't focus on just one. Those sensual green eyes kept wandering through my mind, almost driving me crazy. I didn't want to, but I could see Salma and Hector in bed, having sex. His hands, warm, running over her body, anxious. I could hear my friend's moans beneath his body as he felt her hot cum flowing through her intimacy. I stood up
My chest contracted even more in pain that fucked up my mind as much as my body. I went back to the maternity glass, looking at those two kilos of flesh with a mouth and a name, squirming, so fragile, so beautiful, so dependent on me. The pediatrician watched me carefully and beckoned me with her finger. The nurse went to the door and authorized my entry.I sat in an armchair, watching another baby go to the room, as the mother had already returned from the delivery room. Maria Lua was brought to me, placed on my chest. I stared into those pale eyes that opened in my direction, looking unfocused, the skin wrinkled , peeling slightly.Yes, she was worth anything. It was a love I couldn't explain in a thousand years.Ah, Hector, I give you up while accepting your daughter as mine. How ironic. I want to hate him for what he's done, but I can't see his eyes in hers.Aside from her pale green eyes, which certainly could still change color, she looked totally like Salma.- We will show you
I looked at Ben:- I knew this wouldn't work. - I sighed, resigned.Sebastian came to me and pulled back the thin blanket, which covered part of Maria Lua's face:- What the fuck are you doing?- I'll take care of her. Salma asked. - I said, trying to justify myself.- Fuck!- Don't talk loud, it will wake her up. - I asked.He ran his hands through his hair, his face reddened.- Who is this child's father?- Hector. - I confessed, my voice almost inaudible, lowering my head, embarrassed.- No! - he screamed. - Is not true!- Don't fucking scream! – I walked with Maria Lua, stunned, taking her out of the room.Sebastian followed me:- What's on your mind, Babi? Because brain I'm sure it's not.Ben took him by the arm and looked at him steadily:- Wait, Sebastian. Let's explain everything. Take a break.- No time. Either tell me now what's going on or I'll cancel this fucking certificate. You've both gone crazy together, you can only... - He ran a hand hard over his face, going up to h
