AMELIA
The automatic door of Queens's main airport opens and a sequence of flashes goes off, Mom covers her face with her bag and I hurry my steps towards our car. I thought our return to Brazil was a secret, but apparently Dad is not in control of everything.
"Excuse." I ask a journalist who tries to prevent my passage, asking a sequence of inappropriate questions.
AMELIA" I found you."A snarl leaves my lips just as hands clamp over my mouth and I jump in place, startled."Quiet. " The harsh and moody tone makes every hair on my body stand on end, I struggle in search of freedom as his free hand wraps around my waist and presses me against his body.I would recognize that voice anywhere.
HENRICOI rest her left foot on my thigh and finish tying the laces, just like I did on her right foot. I feel her eyes burn into me the entire time, but I linger over the simple task and put off meeting her eyes and talking to her.I can hear your heartbeat and feel your nervousness.Now that we've fucked, I'm not sure, I'm ready for a conversation. I don't even know if I want to have one. When I got out of the car and came after her, I didn't have any rational thought circling my mind other than confronting her and demanding an explanation for leaving. I was furious, I've been living on the edge since she sent that damn text and destroyed the altar of perfection I created for her.The fault is mine.
AMELIA"Good morning." The seductive and slightly hoarse voice reaches my ears as a perfect melody, stretching my arms I lift my torso and sit on the bed, still sleepy I face him smiling." Good Morning." I answer, not resisting and going down my eyes to his partially naked and wet body. What vision. His lips are curved in a cocky grin, because he knows he rules my mind as much as he rules my body. His arms and chest are uncovered and drops of water from your recent bath run down his skin, making the sight more attractive."I love your hoodies. I allow my eyes to wander down between her legs, where the light gray fabric marks her bul
HENRICO Postpartum depression is common among first-time mothers and is usually caused by changes in the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which are responsible for changes in a woman's body since puberty and tend to work more intensively during pregnancy. Some mothers can be affected at the end of pregnancy and feel sadness and hopelessness right after childbirth, these changes along with a fragile psychological state can make this depression more difficult, so support from family members and follow-up is necessary, even if in most cases In most cases, the use of medication is not necessary and the sensations that prevent the mother from creating a stronger bond with her child cease somet
AMELIAThe taxi driver parks at the gate of the house as soon as I ask and I discreetly get out, watching in disbelief the scene that unfolds right ahead, inside the gate. My mother is kissing Guilhermino's cheek as if they were close friends, he wraps her in a hug and hands her a folder with documents.What the fuck is going on here? I had no idea they were so close.They say goodbye and the man gets into the taxi that was waiting for him all this time, I hide among the bushes that are on this side of the gate when the car passes by me. I turn my gaze to my mother and watch her walk into the house with a wide smile on
AMELIAWhat the fuck! I can't stop thinking about this bastard, he doesn't even believe what I say. Too yummy.I'm so angry with him that I didn't even inform him about the "discreet" visit Guilhermino made to my mother, but I also want to have the document in hand before I make any fuss too."I don't think I've ever asked if you've already chosen a profession?" The serious voice makes me jump off the bench scared.
HENRICOIt was yesterday morning that the truth came in the form of a dream, I remembered exactly everything that happened that night from the moment I left the house until the time of being arrested, I must have erased the information from my mind due to the adrenaline of the memento, shock and disappointment must have their share as well. Holy shit, I'm furious!I can't stop replaying the scenes in my head, each time I relive the episode an unbridled anger grows inside me."What, did someone die?" " Guilhermino arrives scared, looking at all sides of the office.
AMELIA"O what the fuck is going on here!?"Papa's voice makes Peter move away abruptly and I breathe easier, giving thanks to the Blessed Sacrament for that. I look gratefully in my parent's direction, but all I see is his surly face even more closed, serious, completely irate."Peter, come to my office." my dad says, his calm voice belying his facial expression. He rockets past us and slams the office door. Peter kisses the son w
( A CHANCE FOR LOVE) AURORA My feet are like stones as I climb the stairs. " How are you my dear?" I raise an eyebrow at him, pausing on the bottom step. " Come. I laced my fingers through his, pulling him into my room. " Do not make noise. " I point to the door of Arthur's room and make si
( A CHANCE FOR LOVE) César I always lose track of time when I'm with her, but this time, it's different,I am willing to make this moment something unique and special. "Look at me, Aurora." I ask, careful not to startle her as I try to bring her onto my lap.
(A CHANCE FOR LOVE)AURORAArthur and I spent the night at the hospital, so he could be monitored more closely. Cesar went home after much protest from me as soon as I found out that he hadn't slept for over thirty hours. Amelia and Henrico also returned to the farm with the promise of returning the next day, but Anna was adamant about spending the night with me.Neither of us really slept."You need to rest, Anna.
( A CHANCE FOR LOVE)AURORAI couldn't stay in the room while they revived my boy.I'm lying on a bed like Artur's, but in a separate room and with two nurses having to hold my legs and arms for a third to medicate me. My throat is sore, but that doesn't stop me from screaming my son's name, even though my body is getting heavy and I can't keep my eyes open anymore.ARTHU
( A CHANCE FOR LOVE)CÉSARI lie in my bed with Aurora's image in my head, her feline, dogged gaze stealing my breath until I finally fall asleep and wake up several times during the night. When I arrive at the office, my eyes are heavy and tired. With lack of proper rest, but when define rambles on about my patients and reveals that Cassie got better overnight, run to the little girl's room and sleep passes.I love my work.I fucking love it!
(A CHANCE FOR LOVE)AURORA"I... h-hmmm." I pull the phone away from my ear enough to read the name on the display and figure out who I'm talking to, then I bite the inside of my cheek. This can only be a joke." It was Arthuzinho who called."I defend myself and I hear your laugh, cocky to the fund."Clear.""I'm serious!"A break, and then I look into the cat eyes of my offsprin

(A CHANCE FOR LOVE)CÉSARI have no idea what went down last night, but the way the blonde is avoiding me, I'm betting I fucked up. Few people know that I suffer from sleepwalking, only my parents and my ex fiancée, I never slept with another woman after I broke up with Silver and I take all possible shifts at the hospital to avoid being home alone. The episodes are not caused by any physical illness, but they started at the end of my childhood, on the last night at my paternal grandparents' house, when I was ten and on vacation. Since then, my nights tend to be unpredictable. No explanation."Stop looking at me. "Aurora he speaks only so I can hear, preten
