Chapter 71 - Lupin

The early morning was cold colder than Braston had imagined.

Wrapped in the blanket, Molly trembled uncontrollably in his arms. Braston tried to shield her as best he could, but it seemed that not even the thick fabric was enough to ward off the biting cold that cut through the cave. He pressed his lips together, trying to ignore the numbness creeping into his own limbs.

That’s when he heard it. A low, subtle howl echoed through the forest. It wasn’t far. Braston immediately became alert, but a small smile formed on his lips when he recognized the sound.

“Come here,” he whispered, whistling softly.

It didn’t take long before a figure emerged from the darkness. A creature with fur as white as snow stepped silently out of the shadows, approaching the entrance of the cave. Molly, still deeply asleep, didn’t notice when the large wolf lay down near her legs.

Braston reached out and stroked the animal with familiarity, his fingers gliding through its soft fur.

“Good boy.

When they finally arrived at the mansion, he stepped out of the car with Molly in his arms, embarrassed by the situation.As he approached the door, Braston hesitated, taking a deep breath.“What are you waiting for?” Molly asked, confused by her husband’s hesitation.“If anyone laughs at this, I’m going to be very annoyed,” Braston stated, opening the door with a serious expression.Liziane was in the living room and rushed toward them, alarmed.“Fabrízio! Are you okay?” she asked, looking at both of them with concern.“We’re… well, I’m fine, just too tired.

When Mustafá said he found the car wrecked, I felt like the ground disappeared beneath me!” Liziane exclaimed, visibly shaken. Braston shot a sharp lo

  • I kidnapped a baby, but he was my son.   73 - Because Not Everything is Roses

    Chapter 73 - Because Not Everything is RosesIt had been a week. A long week since Molly had been confined to the room. The pain in her foot, caused by the poison, had already disappeared, but now something else was eating away at her boredom. She couldn't believe that Braston had actually locked her up as punishment. For someone like her, full of energy and a free spirit, it was torture.That morning, Braston had already been out of the room for over an hour, and the silence was deafening. He hadn’t even left the baby with her. The loneliness was suffocating, and that’s when Molly had a daring idea."What if I escaped?"Remembering the room next door and the window that was probably open, Molly put her plan into action. Carefully, she moved along the edges of the room and managed to slip into the adjacent one. From there, she climbed down unnoticed and went straight to the garden. The fresh air and morning sun were an immense relief far better than the limited air from her window or

    Chapter, 74Braston stayed in the room for a few minutes, holding Molly, who seemed unwilling to let him go, even though she was fully awake. "Molly, I need to answer the door now, okay?" he said, hearing someone knock discreetly. However, she hugged him even tighter, anxious. "Are you feeling okay?" he asked, concerned, studying her. "I don't want to be alone anymore..." she murmured in a downcast tone, hiding her face in his chest. "Alright, come with me, okay?" he relented, getting up from the bed and helping her do the same. They quickly got dressed. Molly, ignoring Braston’s silent disapproval of her choice, grabbed one of his long-sleeve shirts, which was too big for her, and paired it with some short shorts. When they stepped out, they found Mustafá waiting outside. "We’ve scheduled the flight for two days from now, as you asked," Mustafá reported directly. "Good." "What do you mean?" Molly asked, confused, while Braston took her hand and guided her to the office. "We'

  • I kidnapped a baby, but he was my son.   Chapter 75

    Chapter 75Molly tried, with all the strength she had left, to recover and at least gather enough strength to stand up. The kidnapper was dragging her at high speed to his new destination, and she bitterly regretted hesitating that way. She never imagined that something so close to her home could happen. Her mind was filled with the image of Braston and their son, with a burning desire for him to find her and get her out of the hands of that psychopath. “Call Fabrízio!” Liziane screamed desperately, holding Brady, while Lisaura anxiously waited for the phone to be answered. “Ma’am, unfortunately, whoever attacked us by surprise managed to escape, taking Miss Molly with him,” a young man informed, visibly worried. “The ambulance has already been called. Nate and Mustafá are still unconscious, but Mustafá seems to be in very bad condition,” Lisaura added before breaking down in tears. “Be brief, I’m a bit busy!” Braston said impatiently on the line. “They took her... they took her!

The path was becoming increasingly impassable, a dirt road, but Caio’s taller vehicle managed to maintain speed. Madock, on the other hand, tried to keep up as best he could, knowing he was no match for Caio's vehicle.After another ten minutes, they reached an open field. A large house stood in the distance. Madock, cautious, kept hidden behind some trees, watching, unsure of what Caio would do. He found it impossible that they were there, in such an abandoned place. The doubt gnawed at him, believing Caio must be there for something illegal."What the hell!" Madock muttered, looking out the car window as he realized there was no signal. He was hidden, trying not to be seen, but Caio had already noticed him, and Madock knew, in some way, this would be convenient.Caio stopped in front of the house, thoughtful. He stared at the windows

    Chapter 77: Sibling CrisesBraston spent the afternoon until the evening with Molly, but he knew he couldn’t stay there much longer. His son was at home, and he couldn’t let him feel his absence, especially after days without seeing his mother. Besides, it would be risky to take the baby to the hospital so far from home. But, as long as Molly wasn’t better, he wouldn’t move her.“Are you really set on this crazy idea?” Mariana asked, her voice full of concern as she watched Matheus, who remained still on the bed.“When she wakes up, I need to see her. I’ve lived my whole life with her. I can’t let her hate me for the rest of her life because of this madness I caused,” Matheus replied firmly, though the pain on his face was evident."I’ve already told you, this is risky. Don’t throw away this chance to escape. Accept that she won’t forgive you and just leave. Then, when things cool down, you can come back,” she spoke with apprehension, her gaze reflecting the insecurity she felt seeing

The weight of the situation seemed to hang over them, and the tension was palpable in the air."It looks like you understood the situation, huh?" Caio asked discreetly, trying to break the tense silence.Molly sighed, nervously moving her hands over the bed sheets. "Yes, tell me, what did Jeff do?" she asked with frustration, unable to hide her indignation.Caio looked at her seriously, as if contemplating his words. "He shot Braston twice to save Matheus," he replied, his voice deep.Molly closed her eyes, anger growing inside her. "That bastard, after everything Matheus did for him, freeing him... I don’t want to leave. How can I leave Fabrízio alone with those snakes?" she commented, her voice cracking with desperation. "All he ever did was obey a father who tried to kill him at the first chance, and the only thing he wanted w

    79: Mustafá opens up.As soon as Caio left, Molly was left alone, consumed by restlessness. The worry of what Jeff might do was overwhelming, her fear of being taken by force mixed with a constant sense of distrust, but at the very least, all she could see was the incessant movement of her bodyguards. The shadows surrounding the hospital seemed to draw closer to her with each passing minute.She barely managed to sleep during the night. Thoughts of Braston would not leave her. She wanted to know how he was, if he was recovering, or if the worst might happen. Trying to ease some of her anguish, Molly got out of bed. As she stepped out, she bumped into one of the bodyguards, a giant of a man who seemed more like a wall than a person.“Where are you going?” he asked in a deep voice.“I need to go to the reception,” she replied, trying to stay calm.“You're not authorized to leave,” he informed her, not even looking at her.Molly became irritated by his authoritative response and, with a

They had their moments of peace, and during their stay, Braston showed her his favorite place, where he creates perfumes, with the master perfumer who taught him how to craft fragrances."So, he’s the one who taught you how to create fragrances?" Molly asked, surprised, as they walked through the luxurious boutique, a truly charming place."Yes, when I arrived here, I couldn’t handle people, not even those I liked, except you. When I met you, I think it was because you were the most innocent and pure thing my hands had ever touched," Braston said nostalgically. "But Chief Pierre taught me how to look at people and imagine what scent would be perfect for them, and then refine it. You were my peach, but it’s been a while since you entered my life, and everything has taken on a different scent. You changed everything. I’m happy to be by your side," he confessed, looking around.

Weren’t you sleeping?’ he asked, clearly annoyed. ‘I was, but I saw you leaving… Everyone left with their partners and it’s just the two of us. Let’s go out together?’ she asked, as he unceremoniously removed her from his back. ‘Go back home!’ he stated, not even looking her in the eyes. ‘And what about what happened at the hotel?’ she insisted, quickening her pace to stay by his side. ‘Nothing happened! I was drunk, woke up the same way I fell asleep, except without my shirt and with my car vomited in. That’s because this little thing, who doesn’t know how to drink, ruined everything.’ He spoke with irritation, but without raising his tone. ‘When are you going to stop treating me like a child? Are you blind?’ Laysa asked indignantly. ‘I treat women like women. I treat children like children. And you need to stop thinking you’re a woman,’ he grumbled, ir

    Cap.91: What Happened to Matheus"Matheus had moved in with Mariana, returning to his old house in Russia. He didn’t understand why she chose this destination, the same city where his mother had lived."Why are we here?" he asked, confused."My family lives here, and this is our country. Besides, it's been a long time since you visited your mother's grave, right?" she replied, her tone apprehensive.Matheus had only visited that place once after becoming an adult. His last memory of being there was when he was nine. Now, being back made his heart tighten. Life seemed so unfair, and all of this because of the greed of a cruel man."To think my mother was his woman... And that, in the end, he traded her, reduced her to a mistress. I always judged her, thought she was greedy for wanting a rich man. I remember well... One time, I even yelled at her, just days before she was murdered," he said, his voice choking, as his knees touched the snow-covered ground in front of his mother’s grave.

    Cap.90: Beware of him, not me.Cassius hadn't realized that he had held Laysa in his arms the entire night. She had completely passed out, and both of them were drunk. In the morning, no one remembered anything. Cassius was the first to wake up and, to his surprise, found Laysa’s arms wrapped around him, resting peacefully on his chest. For a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face as he gazed at her serene, smiling expression.However, as his eyes traveled down her body, he noticed her shirt was lifted, revealing part of her backside. His conscience weighed heavily on him, and his expression shifted to concern. Discreetly, he pulled her shirt down to cover her better. He sighed in relief when he saw that she was still wearing her underwear. "Thank God nothing happened," he thought. Then, he checked his own clothes and felt even more relieved to see he still had his pants on."Supposedly, she doesn't remember sleeping on top of me. If I move her slowly, she won't notice. Damn it...

    “To think that I love you,” she muttered, crying.“Cut the crap! I already told you, stop saying that bullshit,” he snapped, annoyed.“Look!” Laysa said, pointing at where they were.“I see it, a hotel. So what?” he replied with disdain.Laysa stared at him in disbelief while he laughed incredulously.“No way. The last time I went into a hotel with you, and mind you, it was an apartment, I got arrested. You’re trouble.”“But I’m a woman now, there’s no problem with that. Look at me! I need a shower; this smell is making me sick.”“The mix of booze and vomit is hell, baby girl. That’s your punishment. And I don’t know who put it in your head that you’re a woman.”“What the hell? What do you think I am, then?” she asked, unable to believe what she had just heard.“Look, I’ll take you there, you’ll clean yourself up, and we’ll leave before the cops show up,” he said seriously.Laysa almost jumped with joy, but Cassius kept his distance from her, clearly uncomfortable.He rented a room an

    Chap. 89: Your View of MeCassius stayed on the party floor, not far from the stage where the dancers performed. Francine and the girls were going wild, while he, with a stern expression, kept disapproving of the situation. He was close to his limit, thinking about ending the party with gunfire, but he suppressed the urge with alcohol even though he was responsible for taking the group home.Laysa remained near Francine but didn’t blend in. The poor thing only watched Cassius from afar. After three failed attempts to approach him, she drowned her shame in mixed drinks, even after so many rejections.“Lay, stop staring at that brute! Look at how many hot, handsome guys are around!” Francine shouted, trying to compete with the loud music as she pulled her friend to dance.But Laysa had no enthusiasm for anything.“You don’t understand… I love him… I’m crazy about him!” she confessed, her voice thick with alcohol and emotion.“Look, girl, I’ll be honest,” Francine said, already slurring.

    "He pushed me?" Laysa murmured to herself, confused. "But there's only one man who would do that..." she said, while Molly fought Braston and Layane practically assaulted Frederick's chest.Laysa didn't waste time."I knew it! Cassius!" she exclaimed, ripping off his mask and throwing herself at him in a hug.Annoyed, Cassius pushed her away and left the stage without saying a word."What?!" Layane reacted, her heart racing. When she took off Frederick’s mask, he stood up furiously and dragged her off the stage without giving her a chance to react."Layla... what is going on?" Molly asked, her face pale and eyes brimming with tears.Layla just stared at her, full of remorse."Oh, Molly... You were advised not to come." That was all she said before turning her back and jumping off the stage straight into Caio’s arms.Molly looked at Braston, hesitant. Summoning her courage, she removed his mask, and as soon as she saw her husband's face, she nearly fainted."Is this a party?" Braston g

Frederick frowned, intrigued."It's only seven o'clock; the dancers don't arrive until eight. You can go now and catch them by surprise!" Layla suggested, clearly uncomfortable."Right now!" Frederick declared, already preparing to leave, but Braston grabbed his arm, thoughtful."Wait, I have a much better idea," Braston said, a malicious smile sparking everyone's curiosity."My wife will have to explain this nonsense to me. A married woman, really? Does she think I'll forgive this? What’s your idea, Braston? Because time is running out." Frederick crossed his arms, impatient."Layla, you're going to take us there. From what I understand, there will only be three men on stage at this party. We'll catch them off guard.""Ge

That night would be the trial, and in the morning, they would leave for Europe.Braston was on the brink of emotional exhaustion, his anxiety eating away at his patience. As a result, he spent most of his time with a closed expression and a distant gaze, almost oblivious to his brothers' conversations."Married life. Ugh!" Cassius spat the words out, noticing Braston’s distracted state and immediately understanding the reason.Braston’s mind seemed dark and turbulent, but he wasn’t the only one in a bad mood."Today is going to be a tense day for the youngest.
