RAVENA Unlike me, Marina could move around the city freely, without the constant vigilance of security guards, so she spent the whole morning outside the house, successfully solving everything we needed. After lunch, I told Adrian that we were going to the mall to buy some more items for the baby's layette and we left the house, in the car driven by the driver, with one of the security guards sitting in the front seat next to him and two others in a second car that was right behind us.As planned, we went straight to a children's clothing store, right there in Santa Clara, whose owner we had paid to help us escape. It was much easier than I imagined to get away from the security guards, who stayed at the front of the store, near the door, while we went to the back. We went into the bathroom together, from where we jumped out the window, ending up in the backyard of the store owner's house and from there we went to the back street. There, we were finally free of the armed men who were
I practically ran to the bathroom and stood there, waiting. I didn't know how long it took for the Diazepam to take effect, or even if it would work if taken with alcohol. The only thing I knew was that if he was still awake when I came out of that bathroom, I would be completely screwed. There would be no chance of escaping being raped.Oh my! I should have paid more attention to Sandra's words when she referred to the use of this medication to make her victims fall asleep. I hadn't even read the package insert. Marina had obtained the prescription for the medication by bribing one of the doctors at the city hospital, just like my mother used to do. Who would have thought that one day I would act like her? At least in my case, it was for a good cause.Time dragged on with impressive slowness. It must have been at least half an hour since I had entered the bathroom when I finally came out, apprehensive, frozen with fear. To my complete relief, the scoundrel was sleeping peacefully, in
ADRIAN— What the hell! How can you lose two teenagers in a city this size?! — I yelled, to the security guard on the other end of the line.I was at home, taking care of business, when he called to say that the two girls had managed to disappear from his sight after entering a children's clothing store in Santa Clara. They were nothing more than amateurs, unprofessional, so they could be tricked by two teenage girls. Who did I have to kill to get a professional who was worth the money I was spending?“That’s not all, sir,” he continued, his voice taking on a serious tone that put me on alert. “We went to the hotel where William is staying, and the receptionist confirmed that the two of them were there and went up to his room.”Suddenly, I could no longer feel my legs and I fell into an armchair. My body froze, a profusion of incomprehensible feelings bombarded me devastatingly. I couldn't believe that Ravena had given herself to that lunatic, and what was worse: in exchange for the e
I didn't know if I believed her, she might be saying that to get away with it. I needed to take Raven to the doctor to be sure.—What kind of monsters are you? Would you kill your own grandson and nephew? In exchange for what? — he asked as he fought against his loss of control.If I didn't hold back, I would have killed those sons of bitches.— As if you care! — Soraya growled. — That fetus wouldn't even exist if it weren't for us. I put it in there, I have every right to take it out.I had to get out of there before I became a murderer. I would have turned the three of them over to the police if I hadn't been certain that doing so would bring the Santa Clara police chief straight to me. So I turned to the head of security and gave the order:— Take them away from the city, to the most remote and distant place you can find, take off all their clothes and leave them there. I want to see how they will manage.— Damn, man! You don't need this! — Daniel complained and I didn't even look
ADRIAN There was a lot to be resolved. My biggest problem at the moment was the police chief, who by now certainly knew that I had left town, violating the terms of my probation, and would obviously show up to annoy me. I intended to bribe him, but I wasn't sure if his thirst for money was greater than his anger at me for having betrayed his schemes with Soraya to the Federal Police. I would still try, because the last thing I needed right now was to end up in jail.In the living room, I poured myself a shot of straight whiskey and sank into an armchair, trying to organize my thoughts, analyze all the events. However, all I could focus on was the blind rage that Raven had given herself to another man, had allowed that bastard to possess her and, what was worse: because of me. I really wanted not to care, but I simply could not shake the thoughts that insisted on continuing to torment me.— Mr. Adrian, would you like dinner now? — Rosilene asked, advancing into the room.I had even fo
— Don't call me dad. I already feel like a pedophile around you.Raven gave me another smile and my chest warmed a little more. I would be able to dedicate the rest of my life, every single one of my days, to making her smile like that for me.As if under some sort of spell, I placed my hand on the side of her face, as she shivered briefly at the contact and I fixed my eyes on hers.— Promise me you won't do something crazy like that again.“I promise,” she whispered.— Now come with me. I'll take you to our room.— I want to sleep here tonight.I was disappointed, but I didn't insist. She had every right to still be mad at me.— Okay. See you tomorrow.I gave her a chaste kiss on the forehead and was getting up to leave the room, when Ravena grabbed me by the arm.— Wait. Don't go. Stay here with me.I would never understand women.— Is that what you want?Raven nodded and without thinking twice, I took off my shoes, climbed over her and lay down on the other side of the mattress. He
As I reached the bulge in her belly, I noticed that a thin dark line had formed between her navel and her pelvis, surely due to the pregnancy. Unable to resist, I ran the tip of my tongue along it and spread a shower of kisses over her round belly. A genuine feeling invaded me, something that I could easily call love, an unknown love, pure and true.As Ravena writhed and whimpered under the touch of my tongue, I hung one of her legs over my shoulders and plunged my tongue between her hairy lips, delighting in how wet she was, all slick, to the point that her arousal dripped down her thighs. I sank my tongue into her tight vagina and penetrated her in and out, marveling at the taste, at the way she arched her back on the mattress and moaned loudly, lustfully, lost. I passed my tongue to her clitoris and Ravena moaned even louder when I stimulated it with the tip of my tongue, moving it frantically, making the little spot even harder, swollen.She was almost coming, a few more licks and
RAVENA After making me cum once more in the bathroom, under the warm water jets of the shower, Adrian went downstairs to talk to Silvana and I went back to bed, ready to sleep a little more. It wasn't early, it was already past eight o'clock, but I was tired after the night we had, completely exhausted.As I tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't, I saw that Adrian had left William's phone forgotten under his pillow and I picked it up. We didn't have time to try to open the folder by trying random passwords, and although I knew the chances of finding the correct password were slim, I started trying, worried that this idiot might try to recover the phone before Adrian had time to hand it over to the hacker.I tried obvious passwords, like William's birthday, mixed numbers, his mother's name, and other names I saw on his Facebook profile. Nothing worked, as expected. Until finally, I tried the same password he used to access Facebook and boom! The folder opened, unbelievably.As expec
RAVENA Five years later...It was Sunday and the day was sunny, although a cool, constant breeze was blowing, easing the heat of that time of year.As we used to do on weekends, when we weren't traveling to some paradise destination, Adrian and I would have a barbecue in the backyard of our house in São Paulo. We had three maids who worked with us from Monday to Friday, but on Saturdays and Sundays, I insisted that we prepare everything ourselves.While my handsome husband was busy grilling the meat on the large barbecue in the pool area, the children were playing on the lawn further ahead, running excitedly after a ball, along with Mr. Arnaldo, who could barely keep up with them . Heitor, our firstborn, was the fastest. He scored all the goals, but he didn't let his younger sister, Maria Flor, get left out, making it easier for her to kick the ball a few times, even though it wasn't easy to keep up with her brother at three years old.Watching them, I was filled with affection and p
— Sorry for the interruption, guys, but I had to come up here and make a fool of myself so that the girl I love would believe in my love. — He fell silent for a moment and there was a shower of boos and whispers of admiration, which became audible in equal measure. — Ravena, I love you, more than I've ever been able to love anyone in my life. — When they heard my name being pronounced, the crowd moved away, forming a semicircle, creating space between me and the stage, all eyes turned in my direction, while I remained petrified, with my heart racing, my face burning with shame, for becoming the center of attention. — With you, I learned to forgive, something I never imagined I would be capable of. You taught me to love and, as selfish as it may be, I want to spend the rest of my life by your side. Forgive me for all the stupid things I said before. Come home with me, my love, we'll raise our child together .He fell silent and a deathly silence fell over the place, all attention was f
Burning with fury, I crossed the few meters that separated us, dodging the crazed dancers along the way and closed my hand around his arm, causing him a small fright.—Come with me. We need to talk. — I had to change the tone of my voice so that it would be audible over the sound of the loud music.Raven stared at me in silence for a moment, her eyes filled with disbelief. But then she seemed to come to her senses again, her face contorted with anger, as she jerked her arm out of my grasp.— I have nothing to talk to you about! — she shouted, enraged.— Yes, there is. Come with me right now! — I replied.When I closed my hand around her arm again, determined to get her out of that hell, the idiot who had a crush on her had the nerve to come at me, wanting to fight.— She already said she doesn't want to talk to you, man. Let her go — he said.I slapped my free hand on his chest and it took just one push for him to stagger back. But he had his cousin and other friends who had joined th
ADRIANI was in the middle of one of the most important meetings about that project, the last one I would hold with the engineers and shareholders before my return to São Paulo, and yet I couldn't concentrate on anything the men and women seated around the large rectangular table were saying.As had been the case for the past few weeks, all I could think about was Raven. I was about to go crazy with her new habits, with that new mania of always leaving the house, going back and forth to Belize, having fun as if there was no tomorrow.I really wanted to be happy for her, for the fact that she was managing to move on without me, after all that was how things had to be. She was just living her life as she should. However, I was on the verge of madness, I couldn't stop thinking about her, about what she did with those idiots out there. Because of such thoughts, I had reached the height of absurdity by ordering my security guards to keep that Fernando guy as far away from her as possible,
The next day, I had lunch in my room again, to avoid meeting him around the house. In the afternoon, at a time when Adrian was never home, I went downstairs with Marina to sunbathe near the pool, as I had been doing for the last few days.She and I were lying side by side, stretched out on lounge chairs, wearing only our bikinis, when unexpectedly Adrian approached, coming from the direction of the house, looking like a mirage with his athletic and elegant build, inside the blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and gray dress pants.“Marina, could you leave us alone for a moment?” he asked, his voice much calmer than the day before, his large body blocking my sun.— Of course. — Cowardly as always, Marina got up and left the garden almost running.Adrian sat sideways in her seat, facing me, while I lay there, motionless, my eyes half-closed against the sun, unable to keep every tiny part of my body from becoming aware of his proximity. The unwanted heat of lust welled up
According to Marina, we were celebrating my birthday, so I could choose anywhere we wanted to go. There weren’t many entertainment options in Belize, so I ended up choosing the amusement park, which I had only heard of from photos that people from Santa Clara posted on social media when they were there. It seemed childish for my age, but it was a place I had always wanted to visit, so I decided to take advantage of the opportunity.That's where we spent the whole afternoon, having fun on the rides, playing games, dancing, talking nonsense and relaxing, like normal people did. It was this kind of happiness that Adrian was talking about when he said that I needed to live my youth before tying myself down to marriage and children.I agreed with him that that kind of pastime, that being carefree was really fun, but it didn't even come close to what existed between us, or at least what I believed existed.My choice would always have been to stay with him, but unfortunately he didn't want m
The week that followed was one of the worst of my life. In order to avoid seeing Adrian, I spent practically the entire day in my room, ate my meals there, only left when I was sure he wasn't home, and only went out to the back garden to get some sun.All the time I felt dominated by blind hatred, no longer able to cry, but only regret having once trusted that man, having loved him and opened my heart to him. He was like my mother, a scoundrel and without scruples, the only difference was that we didn't have the same blood running through our veins.To my salvation, Marina was my constant companion, she was always with me, cheering me up, encouraging me to leave that room and go out and live life. Every day, she invited me to go shopping in Belize, as before, but I was afraid of harming the baby, since the doctor had recommended that I rest.After a week, I was tired of being cooped up, so I used some of the money I had been saving to bring one of Belize's most renowned doctors to the
RAVENAI woke up feeling my throat extremely dry, my body slightly aching. For a moment, I was dazed, not knowing where I was, or what had happened. I blinked a few times, focusing on the ceiling above me. It was white, unfamiliar. I looked around and discovered that I was in a hospital room, with an IV hooked up to my arm.Adrian was sitting in an armchair next to me, his attention focused on the screen of a laptop, and it was only when I looked at him that I remembered everything that had happened, his contemptuous words, the fall down the stairs.As I was overcome by an agonizing anguish, my hands went to my belly, almost by reflex, looking for my baby, without being able to distinguish if he was still there.— My baby… — I stammered, but my voice barely came out. — My baby — I said again and, this time, I managed to get Adrian’s attention, who immediately put down the computer and stood up, standing next to me.— Raven, thank God you're awake. How are you feeling?The sound of his
Ravena still tried to resist, placing her hands on my chest and pushing me away, but in the end she let her desire get the better of her and allowed me to strip her of her robe and take her to bed.There was so much to say, but there was no space for words. All I could do was take her to myself, overcome by the certainty that this would be the last time I would taste her, that I would kiss my son while he was still in her belly. The last time she would be mine, because after we talked, she would never look at me again.Overcome by a whirlwind of heightened emotions, I loved her with all my intensity, giving and receiving pleasure, kissing every tiny part of her body, saving her taste and her smell, experiencing for the last time the sensation of being inside her. Until, finally, we lay motionless in bed, naked, sweaty, cuddled up to each other, enveloped by a silence filled with a restlessness whose reasons were different for both of us.“Raven, I love you,” I whispered. Before she ha
