"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 the bedrooms.
"The house is quite large, but young Bryan likes to stay in his room, or in the playroom, or in the garden on the playground, and he always prefers to be alone," Anna spoke approaching a room. "And then she opened the door, and Bryan was lying on his bed watching some cartoons. "He knows how to turn on the TV and put on the cartoon channel, so when he gets quiet, he's probably watching cartoons. "
"And he doesn't go to school?", I asked, and Anna denied with her head.
"He starts his school year next year, but he does some activities that we have to take him to, like today, early afternoon he has karate class, and tomorrow, swimming class, and the day after tomorrow, he does therapy, those are fixed activities, but don't worry, in the kitchen, Mr Carter leaves everything noted on the board there, it's a way for all of us to know where the little chef is. "Madam Carter always comes to visit, but she always warns us beforehand because she never knows if anyone will be home, but they are not frequent visitors, sometimes once every two weeks, God only knows. "And at the end of the hall, is Mr. Carter's room, and downstairs, is his office, I think that's it at first, but if you need anything, you can call me, ok? "
"Thank you Anna!", I thanked him. "And Bryan's feeding, how does that work?", I asked remembering.
"That you don't have to worry about, I prepare and call you for lunch myself, and here, Mr Carter likes all meals to be on time, and he doesn't mind if the employees eat along with them, that's his thing, but when Madam Carter is here, under no circumstances eat at the table with them, only on this day." She spoke warning me, and I was already thinking that the mother must be a viper, unlike the son, who must be a great boss.
"All right, thank you very much!" I thanked her, and she smiled at me leaving the room and closing the door, and finally, little Bryan and I were left alone. "Hi Bryan, what are you watching?" I asked approaching him.
"I like watching cartoons, it makes me sleepy." He replied sleepily, and I smiled sitting down next to him, and he came over to me, and pulled me in. "Lie down with me?" He asked, and I nodded taking off my shoes and lying down beside him. "Aren't you my mommy?" He whispered.
"I'm not mommy, but, I can be your friend, what do you think?" I suggested trying to change the subject.
"That's fine, but can you not leave, just like Mom?" he asked sadly. "I like you! "
"Your mother didn't leave, she's still here, in you!" I answered pointing to his chest, where his heart was, and he put his hand on top of mine.
"Is she here?" he asked surprised. "But how?"
"You didn't know?" I asked jokingly, and he denied with his head. "She never came out of you, and she never will." I replied running my hand through my hair, and he smiled, more excited to hear that. "So every time you miss her, or want to talk to her, why don't you put your hand on your heart and talk to her?"
The day with Bryan went by quickly, and we played everything we could, and I took him to the activities that John had signed his son up for, until I received a call from Arthur's school, informing me that he had been sick again, and I just took a deep breath, ready to lose my job again.
Just as I was about to call John, he comes home, and his son runs towards him.
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
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 a
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
