AuroraThat would be my first plane ride. I didn’t know what to do, where to go, what to talk to, but as we live in the age of technology, all the information I needed was at my fingertips. I watched some tutorials and went to the Airport. Of course, in the videos I watched, everything looked easy. I almost missed the flight because I got completely lost inside the airport.Already inside the plane, my hands were sweating. Everything was new to me, an unknown world, and if I didn’t have guidance, I wouldn’t make it. During the entire trip, I thought about Rebeca’s accusations against me. I would have every reason in the world to try to kill my father, but those reasons were insufficient compared to the woman I was. Claudio crossed the line. He was never been a good father. On the contrary, he always tried to make my life difficult, even so I would take care of him until the last day of his death. It wasn’t for merit, but for being who I am.As soon as the plane landed, I knew Gomez wo
LukeI watched from afar as Aurora chatted with my mother, while Gonzalo’s former partners spoke of their concerns about how beta gonsales would proceed without his stewardship. I felt like they were putting all the responsibility on me. Not only that, but I soon made up any excuse and left. I walked towards where Aurora was.— So you’ve already been introduced – referring to Aurora feeling so good next to my mother.— I never imagined that I would see you in a serious relationship one day, – she commented, and I laughed when I saw the astonishment on Aurora’s face.— We’re not dating yet – I looked right into Aurora’s eyes. – But it’s just a matter of time.Aurora’s cheeks turned red, and I continued to laugh. It was amazing how he could change my mood.— if you don’t mind, I’m going out for lunch with Aurora. – I spoke to Helena.— I don’t mind, – she said. – The lawyer will come to the house in the morning to talk about Gonzalo’s will and about the beta gonsales situation.My good
LukeI’ve been with many women in my life, but none of them caused the sensation that Aurora had. Staying with someone you love is, without a doubt, having the best night of your life. I looked at her, who was sleeping, her head resting on my chest, and smiled. I got up without making a sound, as I didn’t want to wake her. I got dressed and went downstairs to the mansion.The lawyer was already there, and Helena shot me a startled look.— Glad you’re here, Luke,– she told me as I walked past her and greeted the man.— You’re so early here. – I shook his hand and inevitably with a worried expression on my face.— I have urgent matters to discuss with you,– he said, sitting down on the sofa and placing his briefcase on the coffee table in the living room.He opened it and took out reports, several of them.— Beta gonsales can go bankrupt – it was direct – Gonzalo left the company with debts and the lawyer for Caliento companies filed a lawsuit to collect a millionaire debt against your
AuroraI’m a virgin!That phrase was the first thing I remembered when I woke up that morning, still at Luke’s house. Embarrassment knocked me over, but I also remembered how gentle he was with me last night.It was an unforgettable night. Inevitably, already inside the plane, I returned home between sighs with the memories of the night I spent in Luke’s arms. I went back to my reality, not sure that we could be together one day.When I landed, I went straight from the airport to the hospital. I had only called Lourdes once during those two days, and she assured me that Claudio was recovering well, but that she missed Rebeca.How could Claudio ever consider liking that woman?This was a question that perhaps even Claudio himself could not answer. Still with my bags, I arrived at the hospital and hurried to his room. Claudio was on his feet, without serum or apparently shaken. Your recovery blew me away.— Hi dad – I smiled at him right after my state of astonishment disappeared – I’m
LukeThe day in Rio de Janeiro was hot, and I even thought about going to the beach. I wore a baseball cap and sunglasses to disguise myself at the airport. After Gonzalo’s death, my face was all over the country’s newspapers. I didn’t want to be recognized and even believed that my disguise was perfect until I heard someone call my name.I turned around, because the voice sounded familiar. That brunette with the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen, with her curly hair loose, looked at me tenderly. Geane had teary eyes. He came running towards me and hugged me.I was confused, and I can’t say I was happy to see Geane here. But I, better than anyone, recognized his motives.— What are you doing here? I pulled away and looked her straight in the eyes. I didn’t want to spoil that moment for Geane, but things between the two of us needed to be clarified.— I came to see you, – he replied enthusiastically.The exaggerated scene of Geane hugging me and saying my name, loud and clear, arouse
AuroraI was still trying to understand what was going on with Geane when she pulled away and looked right into my eyes. It was normal for me to find this behavior strange, due to the fact that in the last few days she had acted in a violent and irrational way.— I was with Luke today. – I widened my eyes. How could that be possible if I was with him that same day?— You had just left for Brasília and when I got there, I met Luke at the airport.— Was that arranged? – I couldn’t explain if I had reasons for that, but I really got jealous.— Of course not. – She wiped her tears. – It was all a coincidence.It was then that I realized that the two of us were still at the gate. I had to be careful with that, since Rebeca was still out there and might want revenge for my denouncing her. I pulled Geane by the arm and put her inside the house.— What’s going on with you, Geane?My voice came out in a provocative tone, giving the impression that I wanted to fight with him, and only later di
LukeThe sun was ready to go. The sky had orange tones and the moon already appeared beautiful in the still clear sky of Rio de Janeiro. I was driving in the middle of rush hour. Everyone seemed to want to go home simultaneously, and the city descended into chaos. I could have asked Dionísio why he was so urgent to introduce me as the new president of beta gonsales, if I hadn’t even given an answer about that. Stopped at the traffic light, I looked at the beach and said goodbye to the good life I had. From there, it was work and stress. I snorted as I stepped on the gas. In addition to the chaotic traffic, I would still have to hide in an office and do things I didn’t know about.When I parked the car, I noticed that there was a very large movement of people outside. Dionísio hadn’t warned me about that either. I passed well in the crowd and questions like. Are you ready to be the new president of the beta? It almost made me want to run out of there almost immediately.Right at the en
Aurora“Sorry I didn’t get to you. When you can call me, I already miss you”.And I called, but he didn’t pick up for the thousandth time.I walked through the city streets. It was still very early, and the sun was passable. I had nowhere to go, but I didn’t want to go home right then either, not with Claudio there, doubting my innocence after everything I’d done to help him. The problem was that I was physically and emotionally drained. I couldn’t take any more chaos that would ruin my life even more.As I was looking for a place where I could sit and think, my cell phone rang. For a moment, I wished it was Luke, but it wasn’t. At that moment, I felt like there was no way my relationship with him was going to work out like that. Luke lived far away, and I’m not talking about physical space, but sentimental, too.“Hi Naldo”, I answered discouraged.“Your father is crazy after you,” he said worriedly.“Is Claudio worried about me?”, he smiles. “Are we really talking about the same pers
