Two weeks later...Juliana It was being too humiliating to depend on Norely for some things, but nothing he gives me is for free, after all, I am doing a great job trying to find the folder where Mauricio keeps the documents. Meanwhile, Alicia hasn't been heard from for two weeks and we are worried, because the last time we spoke she was being chased by two men. Now there's this; Norely has demanded that I work for his company and this has only increased Mauricio's distrust of me, can you imagine the chaos my life will become from now on? After everyone finds out that I have been involved with Norely for a long time?"It's a shame that Mauricio never knew how to value what he had in his hands." - I forgot to mention the part that I hate when Norely talks as if I were some object that can be easily manipulated."Well, know that I am the one who has never devalued myself. In the years that I worked for him, I did a great job and got the recognition I wanted, I wanted nothing more than
Jason After much crying we were looking at the moon through the window, Louise was running her hand over her belly smiling and I knew she was happy about it, it was just new to her."What do you say we go somewhere and enjoy tonight, the two of us? We're not werewolves, but we're two lonely souls who need to be happy. Don't you think so?""I think that's a great idea, and besides, I miss your laughter when you're drunk. Where is that boyfriend of yours, Jason, anyway?""Then that won't be a problem, Lou. I'll get dressed and when I'm ready." At the last minute I had an idea, I know she would refuse to go, but it wouldn't hurt to try to convince her to go out for a while, because she needs it as much as Jason and I do."Maria, love of my life, I want to ask you an invitation and I won't take no for an answer." - She looked at me frowning and threw the cloth over her shoulder. Maria almost always had a frown on her face, but we knew that this was just to scare away the snakes that su
Alícia Maurício may be fast, but he forgot that I'm a rejected woman and thirsty for revenge. He killed my James and it won't stay that way."I don't want you to leave here until she is down. Anything you do let me know, I want to be the first person to pull the trigger." - Louise was in a nightclub with Jason, Emma's warrant. I just wanted her to get out of the car to put an end to this family shit. Active Connection"You better get out of there and drop this ridiculous plan of yours. You know Mauricio is in very good company. You can even shoot his wife, but you'll come out of there tortured and very crazy." - Juliana used a tone of authority that I hated. Ever since she started having sex with Norely she had grown wings and I know how to clip them in just a few seconds."I'm tired of you telling me not to call me when I'm out of line. Geez, it's my day off and I can't even get a break? Am I having fun, or am I not?""Don't lie, Alícia. Everyone can see from where you are now,
Norely I feel that Juliana is not real, there is something about her that is bothering me a lot, maybe it is the fact that she can betray me at the first opportunity. After everything I have experienced in this life, I don't doubt anything anymore. But she was there, behind the desk holding her pose and on the phone she was swearing at someone. My cell phone beeped and when I looked at the photos sent by Marcelo, an old friend of mine, I saw photos of Louise getting into a car at this moment, and I learned that she is also pregnant, this will be more fun than I thought. Juliana looked at me and smiled as she saw my expressions."Be prepared to experience tense moments soon, but sooner than you think. Did you know Louise was pregnant?""I had no idea that Mauricio could go to such lengths with that horrid woman.""Don't be sorry for something that never belonged to you. I don't want to hear anymore how much you love that bastard." - I approached her and held her neck, but not too tigh
Juliana Alicia was managing to delay my life and although I really wanted to kill her, it wouldn't be possible because I couldn't find her anywhere. Like any good woman I had a plan B, which was with none other than Ron, my friend from my teenage years and the perfect person I found to help me in all these cases, I know that he has always been obsessed with me and I have already done so many favors for him, it would be no big deal for him to do the same for me. (...)"You look beautiful as always, what have you been doing these last years?" - Yes, we were meeting again after almost three years without seeing each other, although we always talked, it was not the same as looking into each other's eyes. Ron had red hair, green eyes, and was a tremendous handsome son of a bitch. He passed an air of attraction even without wanting to, his smile was perfect and today sometimes I see myself regretting not having stayed with him while it was time, today he is dating and I don't want to ru
LouiseThe jewelry Emma gave me was: a necklace; a pair of earrings and a ruby crown. I loved it,"I loved it, Emma, thank you so much." - My eyes were overflowing with tears when Maria appeared with her daughter.We spent two hours at the table and it was great, but when I thought I was going to work, Mauricio said I was crazy to think about it today, but how was I supposed to know? We were all well and happy, Jason always kept a good mood and made us laugh a lot.Before I left, Maria had some suitcases and a smile on her face and her daughter seemed to be in another world."Are you up to something I don't know about? What's up, Maurício?" - I asked as I entered the corridors while Mauricio stood beside me. - Are you trying to watch me now? I already know what Maria's deal is!"Not to watch, just to help you in whatever you need. And there's nothing between us, if that's what you're thinking, ever. I just want you to rest, Louise, have you forgotten what happened to you a few days ag
A few days later...Louise The last adjustments to the dress were being made and I could hardly contain myself from crying. I was tired in a way, but I really wanted to live this moment.Before the burns I had planned a future, with someone I knew and so on, but after the burns I had totally given up hope that anything good was going to happen to me and for me, this day was being one of the best, if not the best day of my life."As I imagined, you look stunningly beautiful my love." - They used to say that the groom seeing the bride before the wedding was bad luck, but the only thing I wanted to be sure of was that I would love him one last time. - "I am the luckiest man in the world to have you by my side, and I will do everything to never lose you.""I'm not ready yet." - I said, smiling weakly and hoping that everything would work out, even though this time it was the only thing I wanted for myself."May I speak to my fiancée alone?" - Maurício asked and all the women left, leavin
Maurício"Finally alone." - I said, taking her on my lap and leading her to the car. - "Are you ready?" - I asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and bringing our faces close together."You have no idea!" - She was in a sexy voice, unlike anything I had ever seen before.Louise was radiant. We will spend our honeymoon on a cruise ship that will be going to France, where we will spend a few days before returning home, where we will settle our lives together and here I will try to explain a few things to Louise.It was dawn when we boarded, Louise was laughing wildly, but I could tell that after the conversation with her father, she was also feeling a little uneasy about something."Are you tired?" - I approached her from behind, wrapping my arms around her body and pulling her to me, at the same time running my beard around her neck."Do you really think you're going to escape me on our first wedding night?" - She turned to me, held my face firmly and kissed me, which was enou
18 years later...Say"Why do you insist on continuing with this madness? If our mother finds out what you are doing, your punishment will be severe and you know it." - Charles was the typical protective brother, but nothing could beat our father, he was terribly terrible and I knew he monitored my every move."Calm down, Charles. Besides, tell me, don't you also find this place interesting? Why do you think they don't let us come here?"My father and mother have always been conservative. Charles and I were in our first year of college, I had chosen chemical engineering and Charles hadn't decided yet, but the annoying thing was that for my father this was normal when it came to Charles, since when the subject was Say here, he was always rude. Today was going to be our week, but I'm alone and Charles is just going to drive me, since I can't even walk by myself, it's just my life.The room we were in was forbidden for us to enter, but today our parents went to settle some things in Los
LouiseSay was in Julie's arms, I had no anger toward her for what had happened in the past. I trusted Mauricio, so as long as she didn't destroy my children I had no reason to hate her. Lucius was holding Charles in his arms and was softly telling Emma that he was her grandson too, which made me very happy. It's so good when your child is loved, isn't it?"I think we'd better go where everyone else is already." - Maurício says in a loud voice, taking everyone's attention. We had planned to spend this date with our brother and sister after supper, but he knew that this was not what I wanted, so he didn't want Julie to stay too long in our house either."I tried to talk to him, but he interrupted me immediately:""Don't even come, Louise. I don't want any trouble here today, it's only been two three weeks since you gave birth and you can't and I'm not going to let you stress yourself out. Not now!" - When he looked at me without bowing his head, I knew he was serious and didn't fight b
RobertoIt was like a joint effort inside the hospital. Edgar, Klaus (who was now Maria's daughter's boyfriend), Jason, Emma, Lucius, me, and Clarice. Mauricio was in distress in the delivery room, helping Louise who had gone into labor in the early hours of the morning. We were all waiting for news and I swear I never thought that the feeling of dread would come over me again, but now, I was feeling it all over again. It was the same feeling as when Clarice was having our child, but the difference was that I was inside, and now I am distressed that I don't know how things are going inside. Brian had stayed home with Mary, Clarice was more nervous than all of us put together. Edgar was pacing back and forth, when suddenly Parkinson came through the door, with a worried expression and all awkwardness, he looked as if he had been taking heavy drugs, so thin he was. Before he could come to us, I walked towards him discreetly and he followed me into the other waiting room."What are you d
Some time later...LouiseEverything was going well. The pregnancy was going well, I was 39 weeks and super heavy. I woke up and decided that I wanted to get out of here. We are living in the same place, and Roberto and Clarice are nearby. Mauricio had just come home from work, and I was in the kitchen preparing dinner with Maria's help."Honey, can you come up in a little while?" - Maria looked at me dubiously and smiled, denying it with her head.After having no trace of him, she began to speak:"I think he is very lucky to have you." - Maria said looking at my belly, which wouldn't stop moving. - "You'd better go, I'll finish the rest. I'll set the table and leave afterwards. I'll be back tomorrow.""Thank you, Maria. You are an angel in my life." - I climbed the stairs slowly because of the discomfort my stomach was causing me.We hadn't planned anything yet, Mauricio has some projects for the future. No more auctions, not from Mauricio and not from any of my ANC members. This gav
RobertoThe days have been passing quickly, but Louise still hasn't made any statement about her pregnancy. Clarice was devoted body and soul to Brian and I thought this was perfect.Mauricio had been moody lately and this was bothering me. We were on our way home from work when he brought up the subject I had been sworn to secrecy about."Did Louise say something to you?""About what? If she said nothing to Clarice, it wasn't to me." - I lied, but I was terrible at it and he didn't stop looking at me until I stopped walking."You are a bad fucking liar, Roberto. You two are good friends, I know she would tell you secrets. She sees you as a brother!""But you just told her a secret, and you know that you don't share it with anyone. It's no big deal, but if you want to know, ask her yourself.""Are you on her side now?" - Was it immature of you? Yes, but Mauricio was really outraged and he was pissed off when this happened."I'm not on anyone's side, I'm just not going to meddle in any
MaurícioEveryone was singing Happy Birthday to Brian when I saw someone passing by the garden, the service was short, but I know it wasn't from any ghost. I left without anyone noticing and went to the garden, while everyone was too excited about what was going on inside."I don't want to get in your way, please. I need to talk to you, just listen to me for a few seconds and then you can do what you want with us." - Willy had Edy, Alícia and James' son, by his side.The boy was all bruised and Willy was almost unrecognizable. He had never hurt anyone, had always been against Alicia's atrocities and was only with her because... because he was the only person she could turn to, her family was a bunch of junkies and she had chosen her fate."Alícia committed suicide, it's been three months since this happened and I don't know what to do anymore." - In her eyes there was despair, I know how Louise won't like this, but I can't leave it like this."Okay, what do you need?""Someone to take
One year later...LouiseThe preparations for Brian's birthday were in full swing. Clarice was more than happy, as were Roberto and all of us. The time on the invitations was 6:00 PM, but Edgar and his darling daughter arrived early, and I would not deny shelter to her who sponsored me, that would be too selfish. He taught me too much, but I couldn't stand her. In the past, Edgar forced Mauricio and his daughter, Julie, to be together. And wherever Mauricio is, she won't mind forcing herself on him, and I knew that a long time ago."Do you know what I want?" - Clarice smiled wickedly as she looked at Julie. - "To teach that bitch not to stare too much at other people's men.""You have no idea how much we both think alike." - I smiled at her and she did the same. Mauricio approached us both with a small box in hand, handing it to Clarice. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck."This is our present for our little boy. You know that he is the most precious thing in our f
ClariceThe feeling that I would die at any moment was still very present. My son was in the incubator in the UV light. My body hurt even under anesthesia. I still hadn't eaten anything, I couldn't even drink water, but now, I was waiting for the nurses to help me up. If not, my blood would not circulate and could lead to a thrombosis, because of the anesthesia. Louise and Roberto's voices were loud, and when they talked, they sounded like they were fighting, and Mauricio was always quiet."Where is my baby?" - Louise came hurriedly to see him, but was disappointed when she didn't see him there. - "I forgot he's tiny. But, how are you feeling? - She sat down next to me and held my hand.""I am fulfilled, sister. I have a wonderful family. I have a strong sister that I have been very proud of ever since I met her, and now, you don't know how much I admire you for all your strength.""Do you know that even though I haven't seen him yet, he is the most important thing I have in my life?
LouiseWith each sip I took of the different drinks, I felt my stomach turn and the vomit want to come out, until I realized I was overdoing it and needed to sober up for the morning.The last time I looked at the time it was almost two in the morning, but I didn't intend to leave now."I finally found you, do you know how long I have been looking for you?" - I couldn't believe who was standing in front of me! It was Klaus, now in a nice suit, but with the same shoulder-length hair."Oh my God! I'm sorry I left without any warning. How is Miss Margot?""She passed away two weeks ago. But, she knew you were fine and that's why I didn't come after you. But now, I was going home when I saw her hiding here and thought: why not go and talk to her?" - Why did he have to be so handsome? He was very similar to Maurício in some ways, but so different in some."I was sorry." - If it weren't for this man and this woman, I wouldn't be suffering now, I would be dead. - "Sit down, have a few beers
