If you told me my life was going to take this 360 degree turn, I would never believe it. I urgently needed a job, and no matter how hard I searched, all the answers were: No. After all, who would want to hire a 27-year-old woman, who just graduated from high school and is already the mother of a beautiful boy named Arthur? Yes, and to help it along, I don't even know who his father is, because everything happened so fast that night that only memories remain, and to help it along, I don't remember his face, only that he had a birthmark on his right breastplate, and on his back, a tattoo of a budding flower, which I had no idea what it meant. So how to find this man with only these memories? Impossible!
So, not having the father present and not knowing how to find him, I do what I can to raise my little one, since he is all I have, and I admit that in the beginning it was quite difficult, with the rejection of my family when I found out about the pregnancy, and my father's request to abort, only made me sure that I didn't belong to that family, so I just ran and hid from them as I could, and also, they never came after me, and I clearly thought it was better that way. And if it wasn't for my best friend, Sabrina, I don't even know what would have happened to me and the little one, since she was the only one to shelter me.
"So, tell me, what are you going to do?", Sabrina spoke up sitting next to me, after I lost my job for the fifteenth time in the month, because of Arthur and his failing health, he lived in the hospital because of the chronic sore throats he had, so it was getting harder and harder to stop at a job. I knew that running a business requires the employee to be in it, so I didn't blame my bosses for every layoff I had.
"I really don't know, Sabrina!", I spoke sighing angrily, I really didn't know what to do with my life anymore, "God gave me a wonderful son, but I don't know if I'm the right person for him! "I said feeling defeated, "I can barely stand a job and get a full paycheck, because then they send me away, so tell me, what do I do?", I stared at her, and she took a deep breath. "Why does God hate me so much? And to help, He gave me the worst family a person could ever have?"
"Don't be like that, remember that you still have me, and that my pay is enough to keep the house without worry, I know that when Arthur grows up, he will see what a wonderful mother he has!", She spoke trying to cheer me up.
"But I don't think it's fair, I want to help you, and also, I want to rent a place for myself, I've been stealing your space for 4 years, and I don't like it, you also have to have a life, bring boyfriends to your house, I don't know!", I answered and she laughed at my crisis.
"Changing the subject, but not changing it that much, because I think it has something to do with it, do you remember my hot boss who recently lost his wife?", She started speaking attracting my attention. "Actually, he's my only boss, so, you know."
"And what does your big cat boss have to do with my life and the tragedy it has become?", I asked confused.
"It has everything to do with it friend!", She replied excitedly. "Well, he's looking for a nanny to take care of his son, it seems that his mother, Mrs. Cinthia, demanded that her son have help raising the boy, since he was overloading himself with household chores and all that," And I stared at her with a hopeful sign. "And well, he tested three different nannies, but it seems that none of them worked out, or rather, none of them managed to win little Brian's trust, it seems that he still misses his mother a lot."
"Yeah, but so what? Does that mean I have a job in sight?", I asked excitedly. "If he's anything like Arthur, I can take care of a child, it shouldn't be that hard! "
"I talked to him about you, I told him that you have a son and that you can take care of children, so he asked you to come to the company tomorrow and talk to him.", She spoke excitedly, and I jumped on her happily. "Then, try to think of ways to make his son accept you, he is 3 years old, so he is almost the same age as your son."
"Thank you friend, for helping me whenever I think I am lost, you know how hard it has been raising Arthur, even more so in the absence of his father. - I sighed deeply, recalling some of the memories that came to my mind.
"You really don't remember anything about Arthur's father? A first name? Last name? - she asked, and I just denied it with my head in frustration.
- I told you that all I remember is the birthmark and the tattoo on my back," I replied, and she seemed to think for a moment, as if she remembered something. "- What is it? What went through your head?"
"It's no big deal, it's just that my boss has a birthmark on his chest too, but I don't know if he has a tattoo. - She said, and I laughed. - What? Don't you think it's possible? - And I denied it with my head.
"That party was definitely crazy, I still think that for sure they put something in my drink, because I don't remember anything at all, and when I realized, there was a man in the same room as me, and right after that, my mother and father threw me out of the house, that is, I firmly believe that they are behind this. ", I spoke remembering that night, in fact, it was the last night as Muller heiress.
"Your parents?", She asked in surprise. "Do you really think they would be capable of this? "
"Yes, Sabrina, you know they wanted from the beginning for my sister to take over everything, she was always better than me at everything, and when I left, it was literally a relief to them,", I replied. "But, if they think this will put me down, they are completely wrong, and the one who is losing a wonderful grandchild is them. "I replied, looking at the couch next to us, where Arthur was sleeping so peacefully that he was afraid to wake up. "I'll take him to bed, but before I go, what time should I be at your company?", I asked, as I intended to go when Arthur went to school.
"Let's go together!", she answered. "We'll drop the little one off at school, and then head to my company, is that okay?", She spoke and I nodded, taking Arthur on my lap and heading to my room. "Good night!" she shouted.
"Good night!", I replied, after all, the apartment wasn't that big, so she could clearly hear me.
I knew I couldn't live at Sabrina's place anymore, I came to stay only a month and ended up staying for over 4 years, and she always said I could consider her place mine, but even so, I felt it took away from her freedom to bring her boyfriends or girlfriends over whenever she wanted, so, I needed to get my life together quickly and also, relieve the burden on my friend.
I was determined to take back control of my life, and I would show everyone that I was stronger than anything, and it wasn't the fact that I was a single mother that was going to bring me down. My family, you can be sure that I will get back on my feet without your help.
I woke up the next morning around 6:00 a.m. and even though I was extremely nervous, I needed to look calm in order not to scare Arthur, because I don't know how, he could feel how I was. Every time I was nervous, he was nervous, and every time I was sad, he was sad too, it was a unique connection we had. I hated the fact that I had to wake him up so early and disturb his sleep that seemed so pleasant, but life wasn't fair to anyone, and I would do everything to make it even better and never have to wake him up so early again, and who knows, give him a father, something that I wasn't even able to give him, and that hurt me, especially when he asked me where his father was. "Mommy, I don't want to!" he said, throwing a tantrum to wake up, and just started crying, and I had to be strong, because I wanted to say "I went back to sleep baby," even though I couldn't. "Don't do it like that my love, mommy has to work, and I promise there will come a day when you won't have to wake up so e
Note: Chapter by John's vision! I knew I couldn't continue my life the way it was, and as much as I knew my mother was right about hiring someone to take care of Bryan, I still felt awkward about it. The one who had always taken care of him was his mother, Sullivan, and now, having to find someone else to do that, it was as if I had accepted the fact that she was no longer here, and that I was moving on. I remember to this day when I got the call from the hospital informing me of the accident, I was in a planning meeting and rushed to the hospital, but when I got there and they told me that she had not survived her injuries from the accident, I felt my whole world come crashing down. Sullivan was my first girlfriend, fiancée, and wife, she was the only one in my life, and when she was gone, I felt lost, even though I knew I had to gather what little strength I still had left to raise our son, who was still just a baby. The police investigated what had happened, but according to the
After an unusual conversation with my newest boss, we left the office and went to his house so that I could meet his son. John seemed to be a calm man, a loving father, and he missed his late wife very much, but what made me a little crazy was to feel that he had a curious look about me, as if he already knew me, and no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't find an answer, because inside me, it told me that I had already met him somewhere. When we arrived at the parking lot, he pressed the alarm of a black car, and I almost fell on the floor when I saw which car it was, a Lexus Ls 500h, and I knew very well what the price was, it was enough to buy the whole building I lived in and the building next door, the value of the car was nothing more, nothing less than one million reais! I even got in the car carefully, I didn't want to damage anything, because I knew that a scratch on this car, was 5x my salary, and even though I dreamed of having one of these since I was still th
"Ah yes, I think I have heard about the Muller family," I commented without wanting to focus too much on the subject. "Madame Carter is very good friends with Mrs Muller, but she doesn't think it would be a good idea for the two families to get together, after all, it seems there was a big scandal involving this family in the past, so they have been trying to regain their position ever since. ", And I admit that I was curious to know more about what Anna had to talk about, but I preferred her to speak on her own, without me asking anything. "But, since madam passed away, Mr Carter hasn't felt like anything else, and I don't even know how he took the initiative to hire someone to stay with his son, so, welcome, Liz, and if you need anything, you can call me, now come on, I'll show you around."Anna spoke walking in front of me, and I just followed her in silence, and from what I could tell, the second floor was just the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen, and upstairs were
As soon as we arrived at Arthur's school, John and Bryan stayed in the car, and I ran towards the principal's office, but when I got there, to my surprise, my parents were here too."Hi, can I help you?" The principal spoke seeing me. "I came to pick up Arthur Muller, they called me informing me that he was not well." I replied ignoring the presence of the two who were looking at me. "And you are his what?" The principal asked. "Because they are his grandparents and they said they came to get him!" She explained, and then I stared at the two in disbelief. What do you mean, they came to pick up my son? Even more so without telling me? "I am the mother, and I forbid them to have access to my son, and if I find out that the school has even considered letting them pick up my son from school, I will sue you!" I said firmly. "And on whose authority did you come to pick up my son? Who allowed this? You were just going to pick up my son at school, so what? Don't you think the mother should
