Upon my question, Thiago continued driving in silence, not responding at all, not even daring to look me in the face. His attitude seemed very strange and worrisome to me.— Thiago, I'm talking to you, I just asked you something, please answer me — I insisted, touching his shoulder.— What can I tell you, Lisa, maybe I had many things going on at that time, besides, if we had done something back then, we wouldn't be together now. After all, it was your unexpected pregnancy that brought us together — he assured while running his hand through his hair nervously.— I told you several times that I wanted to sue them, so why didn't you help me? I don't understand — I insisted because I couldn't shake off the confusion or anger I felt about realizing just now that he had a connection with that clinic.— I already answered you, Lisa, I don't understand why you want so many explanations. Or are you regretting your decision? — he asked ironically, and I had to stay silent at that. Thiago's att
I couldn't help but worry about how my parents would be feeling after finding out about my pregnancy through in vitro fertilization, something I knew they wouldn't believe. Additionally, it distressed me to know that we wouldn't be seeing them until the whole trial matter was resolved. However, my two friends were astonished by Thiago's arrival. He was too admired by society, so they couldn't resist asking. They were eager to know how he had conquered the magnate, as I had previously confessed to them that I felt defeated and thought it was impossible to achieve. Furthermore, James knew that I had gone to California convinced that Thiago wouldn't be for me, so this encounter was confusing to him.— How did you fall in love with Lisa? — James asked, hesitating a bit, as it was unusual to engage in such a conversation with someone they only admired, whom they knew from television appearances or magazines, and who was now in an old apartment in front of him, holding hands with his best f
— Baby, wake up, it's urgent — she repeated over and over again.I knew that only because something serious was happening would Clara Lucía dare to interrupt my sleep, as she was the one who insisted the most that I needed rest.— What's going on? — I asked sleepily as I got up to open the door.— Well, baby, that stuck-up Esmeralda has come — she whispered behind the door. Her words made me hasten my steps and quickly open the door.— Is she inside the house? — I shouted while locking the door.— She's outside ringing the doorbell, we saw her through the peephole in the door. Diego confirmed it's her. As you know, I don't know her, and he asked me to let you know — she said nervously.— Damn it! I knew this was not a good idea — I muttered, throwing myself back on the bed and putting my hand on my forehead, starting to feel too sweaty from the heat and fear.— Diego has already informed Thiago, but as you know, he has to drive to the lawyer's office and hasn't seen the message, nor h
Hearing the word "court" terrified me, as although I had faced Esmeralda face to face, I had never been before a judge who would ask me thousands of questions. Everything was becoming more confusing, and I didn't want to make any mistakes.— Tell Thiago to come, he needs to know what has happened — I replied, holding my belly which was starting to ache too much, perhaps due to the disturbance caused by the visit.— He'll surely come soon, Lisa. As I said, he's probably just arriving at the lawyer's office, we need to ensure that the trial happens as soon as possible, before you give birth — Diego commented, looking worried as I shifted position due to the immense pain in my stomach.— Lisa, are you okay? — Clara asked, amazed, as she approached me. I could only feel the weight of her hands on my back.— No — I managed to say with a dry voice. Clara and Diego held me. I remember feeling their skin brushing against mine as they lifted me and laid me back on the bed.— You can't get sick
— Esmeralda came to the office and assaulted me, she is desperate, she only needed to confirm that you were pregnant, and she repeated what you told her, it hurt me that you said that, and not that you love me, but that doesn't matter now, she threw a soda I was carrying and also water, she hit me — I looked down at this, I felt very bad, for having provoked so much.— And what did he say? When will the trial take place? — I asked extremely worried, I was trembling, I thought that if Esmeralda had been able to do that with Thiago, how much more would she hurt me, and my son.- Tomorrow will be the trial, my child, tomorrow everything will be all right - she said tenderly as she took me into her arms and kissed my forehead, I felt comfort and fear, I didn't know what would happen.— Is there any hope, will our lie really do any good, have you got the results yet? — I asked desperately, everything was making me more and more impatient, and I just wanted to get out of it, and live my love
When the last word was called, I stood up, I wanted to run away from there, to scream, to tell them to stop it, that everything was a farce, that I had not been hired by Thiago, and that my son was not his, that I did not even know whose son he was, that everything had been a mistake, a mistake that now we were only using for a benefit, but before I asked to say a single word, the voice of our lawyer limited me —They can do the tests they want, wherever they want to do them, however that will take us more time than scheduled, which lengthens the resolution of the trial, something that Mrs. Esmeralda, as she has mentioned on several occasions is a serious problem for her — Marcelo said with certainty, I could not understand the tranquility with which Thiago was taking things. — My defendant, Mrs. Esmeralda, has every right to demand truthful evidence, and she is willing to wait as long as necessary for the correct resolution of the case — objected their defense lawyer, my body was ab
What more explanations, what other lie were they going to tell now, I asked myself desperately and silently while I looked at them so calmly, and I, drowning in fear, pain, anguish, could only stay there, without making a sound, waiting for Thiago to start talking to see if once and for all I would understand what was really happening.— It is true, I hired Luisa Vanessa, we decided it with Esmeralda, we decided it because she wanted it, because Luisa is a woman from a good family, and she is also her friend, but I did not want that, that is, I did not want my son to be born from someone I did not know well, and also because she was a friend of Esmeralda, my wife, and she did not want us to have children, so I thought that could be a problem, however, I had no choice but to accept it, so we proceeded to go to the clinic where the in vitro pregnancy would take place, precisely the day Lisa Miere was supposed to take pictures of the models, and she asked me permission to go to that sam
— My love! - exclaimed Thiago running towards me, when the water began to run down my legs, I screamed with all my strength, the pain was extreme.— He is going to be born, he will be born today — I shouted in the middle of the pain, Thiago was totally nervous, some women who were there as witnesses of the trial took pity on my pain, and helped him, they sat me down and helped me to keep calm.— Come on, Marcelo, go and start the car — said Thiago hurriedly, throwing the keys to the lawyer.— Call Clara - I shouted even more desperate, I needed my friend and she had promised to be with me the day of the delivery, and she was the only one who could do it, since my parents didn't even know what I was going through and besides they were far away from Mexico City.As best as I could, with great difficulty, we managed to get out of the huge place, I got into the car, trying to be strong, so that everything would go well, nothing better than closing that trial with the birth of our son.We
- I always wanted to be totally well, to have a real family, someone who truly loved me for who I am, to be able to discover what the true meaning of that word was: TO LOVE, Lisa, sometimes you think that to love is to marry someone and that's the end of everything, but no, when my mother forced me to get married I thought that things were really like that, and no, everything was falling apart completely - said Thiago with a contrite voice - I also thought that money could solve everything, but you know when I wanted to be a father, I understood that even if it could be solved with money, I had to choose well, I had to know who I was going to give the task of being the mother of my child, and then you appeared, with that light, and I know you should hate me for not telling you, you know it was so hard for me to pretend, I don't even know how I managed it, but it hurt me so much to do it, now it doesn't matter, I know I chose you well, that I didn't make a mistake with you, because now
- Thank you, Marcelo, really, I don't know what we would have done without you - I answered with tears in my eyes, feeling a huge relief at his words, it was as if everything was finally over for good.- There is nothing to worry about, my friends. All this is coming to an end and soon you will be able to resume your lives in peace," said Marcelo.- You are my lawyer for a reason - Thiago praised him - now with this good news, I feel more convinced that going to where his parents are, is the best thing to do, away from the press and everything that this could drag, besides I think it is time for all of us to get together and share the good news - Thiago proposed with a smile.Marcelo and I nodded excitedly. Marcelo called Clara and Diego, who were at the cinema, to inform them that everything was under control and that they could return. In the meantime, they helped us pack some things for the trip and prepared everything to make the baby comfortable. The next day Clara and Diego left
I knew that saying those words in a situation as complicated as the one we were living was not at all pleasant, but I only wanted peace for my life, far away from all pain, when I fell in love with Thiago I created a very silly fantasy about the things of love, and only now I realized that nothing was as rosy as one thought, I loved him precisely because in the midst of everything we had lived through we had always won together, but now I had something else that surpassed the word love, and that was my son, and I only wanted tranquility for him, and being close to Thiago and his problems with Esmeralda I was never going to get it.He stopped looking at me with anger, as if he hated me and at the same time let me know that I was annihilating him.- I'm just tired - I repeated again before he could get any closer to me or as if he wanted me to omit what he had just said.- I am too - was the driest answer that managed to come out of his lips - but now we have a son, and I won't let this
Everything was too strange, but they only had to look for help as quickly as possible. At that moment, Diego, Thiago's close friend and lawyer, arrived at the house to support them in this difficult situation, Marcelo, the same one who had saved them in the previous trial.- They have emptied my bank accounts without my authorization, someone took out a large amount of money. This is a nightmare, Esmeralda has come with the press to warn me, claiming that the check I gave her is without funds, I don't know what to do, especially because she also brought the press and it was a terrible embarrassment - alleged Thiago in total desperation after the arrival of the lawyer.- Yes Thiago, this is serious. You have any idea who could have done this, don't you? Your cards, Thiago, think about it - Marcelo pointed out giving Thiago a clue, for a moment I thought he would react immediately, but it was clear that he was blinded by the complicated situation.- I don't know, I don't know, they clai
-Do you think Martini is involved in this? -I asked, feeling a mixture of concern and frustration.Thiago clenched his fists, reflecting his displeasure. -I don't know, Lisa, but we can't rule out that possibility. Esmeralda could be conspiring with him to harm us or even to profit from the money I gave her. We must take precautions and find out the truth.We looked at each other, sharing a mutual determination. We knew we had to act fast to protect our son and ourselves. Clara and Diego took the baby and me to bed, they washed the room, while Thiago stayed in the living room, together with his security team giving them orders not to let anyone in, however before they could act, Thiago looked out the window at Esmeralda getting out of the car, the press took all the pictures they could, it was clear that she had taken them herself, and that no, she had not left.- Tell Lisa that it's nothing bad what is happening, tell her not to worry, and not to get out please - She ordered Hugo and
Suspense hung in the air as Thiago held the ring in his hands, anxiously awaiting my answer. My eyes filled with tears of joy, of emotion for all we had been through together and for the future that awaited us.- Yes, Thiago, I do want to be your wife - I answered with my voice cracking with emotion.The room was filled with applause and exclamations of joy from our friends. At that moment, Thiago slipped the ring on my finger and hugged me tenderly. Our friends celebrated joyfully all around us, filling the room with laughter and well wishes.As I held our precious baby in my arms, I felt a deep gratitude for all that had happened. I had overcome my fears, stood up for my desires and was now in a moment of fulfillment and love beyond compare.Fate had brought us together on a roller coaster of emotions, but we had overcome every obstacle with courage and determination. Now, together, we would write our own ending, filled with love, happiness and a new life full of possibilities.- I
Deciding was one of the things I had been putting off doing since I found out I was pregnant, and daring to put my conditions before Thiago was a total revelation and liberation. - And what am I supposed to do? I'm trying to protect you, don't you realize, I don't want anything bad to happen to you," he asked me confused and scared. - Protect me, running away again, no, Thiago, neither me nor my son, we don't have to live running away from your past, you decided to make us part of your life, I gave in, but that doesn't mean that I have to hide, and if you prefer it that way then the best thing is that.... - The best thing is what, Lisa, it's not running away, it's protecting yourself - she interrupted me, and the tension was burning me up. - To run away is not to protect oneself - I shouted with difficulty. - Lisa, but it's that Esmeralda? - Esmeralda wants money, or security, the security that her mother and your mother wanted for you, it's simple, give her something, and I ass
Seeing her there, filled me with terrible sensations, the ones I had never felt before, not even when I had her in front of me at the trial, this time I was going through the worst situation a woman can go through, and that was to be unarmed, without strength or courage to continue, so I could only give a sigh, and wait for Thiago to show his face for us. - What are you trying to do? - he asked while to my hatred came the sardonic laughter of Esmeralda, with that perfect silhouette walking. - I came to visit the new parents, now, because their son might die, as I heard - she said ironically looking at her nails, her words pierced my whole body, and if it wasn't for the fact that I was connected to a machine that measured my pressure and a serum to hydrate me, I would have stood up from there and disrespecting her integrity as a woman, I would have broken her right there, because nobody was going to mess with my son.- Shut up, damn it, shut up - I managed to shout at her with diffic
- This is no time for shouting, the lady should rest - warned the doctor with annoyance for the attitude we both had taken and the noise we caused in our desperation. - How can one keep calm, when we know that our son may die - said Thiago using the same tone of voice, with tears covering his face. - Thiago, I know that having a child for you is great news, maybe it is the best thing that happened to you in your life, because it was what you always wished for, but I must clarify that it is not easy to have a premature child, it is complicated, also because this fertilization was done by In vitro, However, you must be strong and fight, be positive and expect good answers from the baby - The doctor answered, but there was something in him that frightened me, his look was cold and calculating, as if he was evaluating every move I made or as if he was looking at me with contempt. - Yes, you know well how much I have longed for a son, but I am afraid that now I will die, as I said - Thi
