HENRICO
Three months later…I lean back in the seat until I feel my back find support against the wall. I blow out cigarette smoke and try to relax as I stare at the damn doctor's office door. What the fuck! How much longer will I have to wait?
" Excuse me, sir. You cannot smoke here." I look up at the nurse who stares at me with disgust, she points to the sign with a cigarette drawn on it and I give a weak smile, release the smoke trapped in my throat and do what. I erase with my fingertips the only medicine that manages to calm me down besides Amelia. The woman turns and walks away.Does she not notice that I'm nervous? In addition to this mysterious appointment that I was ridiculously cut off from, I'm handling the administrative part of the farm on my own, now that Guilhermino has gone on his honeymoon with Marisa, well, actually, he went after the woman after she ran away with herAMÉLIAEight months later.I love nature.The heat, no. I hate it when the temperature goes over ninety degrees and I have to leave the house, better, I hate having to leave the house pregnant straight to hell.And by hell I mean hospital. As much as this is the best among the best and has a great climate system. So, so, so cold and cozy, it's still a hospital, and it reminds me of all the time I spent in a coma and recovering from the accident.I force my feet down the stairs instead of waiting for my husband, as he gently shouted from the bathroom for me to do. But after taking three or four steps, I feel the need to stop for a breath, taking advantage of the brief interval to lean my side against the wall."Urff." I take a deep breath, closing my eyes for over two seconds before resting my hand on my stomach. My legs and back hurt even standing still, which is normal for women in late pregnancy to feel, ironically I was fine until two nights ago." Let's go, Girl."I repeat to mysel
BONUS(A chance for love.)Some time after the epilogue from My Enemy's Daughter...AURORAWhat to expect when you think you've reached the end of the journey? Every day, when the sun disappears, and I have to face the night, I turn off my true identity and pretend I'm someone else. BUT with different background and who never made the mistake of marrying a sociopath. Instead, I imagine I'm a single parent by choice, fulfilled with my work and full of suitors, who happen to be too boring for me to give them a minute of my time.Then it dawns and reality hits me.I'm still a mother, but my son carries the traits of someone I want to forget. There are suitors, but none munder stands why I stay awake at night. I have a job, I am the CEO of one of the main real estate companies in New York, my family's company, in fact, with my management the value of our shares has tripled in the last year, and we have gained international investors. China, Finland and Sweden are some of the countries I a
(A CHANCE FOR LOVE)AURORAI squint my eyes and count to ten before lifting my head and meeting the mocking expression of Cesar, better known as Amelia's former doctor and close friend of my brother"in"law and sister.I feel like throwing up.I can't stand the guy, and knowing that, he teases me whenever he can.It's like I'm a kid again around him, all I can think about is punching his pretty face.
( A CHANCE FOR LOVE)CÉSARThe trip to Zattani farm was quick, despite the closed signs we took along the way, the travel hours were reduced enough for us to arrive in time for lunch. The little one sleeps in the backseat, sitting in the car seat that his mother took out of the car when she accepted my ride, Aurora makes an effort to ignore my presence, but taking into account that we have just crossed the fence that protects her brother-in-law's farm and still we're alive, I think I deserve some points.I think about this for a moment and conclude that yes, I deserve A LOT of points.
( A CHANCE FOR LOVE)CÉSARDoes she still like him?"Honey, look how Tutu has grown."Amelia kisses her nephew's head, who has a mischievous smile on his lips and shows off to his uncle about having grown a few inches. I find myself rolling my eyes at their interaction, a little jealous of the obvious way the boy worships the guy. I don't blame him, from what Amélia told me, her husband has been the only paternal example for the little one, and he loves him despite all the harm that the Leal family inflicted on him, especially Augusto and Pedro.
(A CHANCE FOR LOVE)AURORAAURORAThe loss can only be understood by those who have loved. Well, at least that's how it feels to sleep in the guest room my sister chose.in the house that was once mine. WhenI met Henrico years ago, my heart was broken, the man I loved had just sailed to another continent and to get revenge I married another. Unfortunately, acted on impulsiveness and
(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
