The CEO's Unwanted Baby 22
I could not go through with my plan to take the day off, so after lunch I had an online meeting with my lawyers and engineers. As they all knew that my real objective in building the pipeline was to destroy ArnaldoBiShop, I brought them up to date on their blackmail, seeking a possible solution to the problem and we ended up reaching a consensus that the most sensible decision to be taken at that moment would be to wait for Ryleea to reach the age of majority before we concluded the work, which would happen in less than two months, because that way, even if that insect spoke to the press about the pregnancy, being of legal age, the scandal would be mitigated and it would reduce the risk of the government canceling our permission.Spending almost two more months in that damned city was out of the question. I needed to dedicate myself to another project during that time, because then that insect would think that I had given up on going over his house and would relax, sparing me a possi

RYLEE"Girl, what was that stare between you two?" asked Marina, in her usual irreverent way.I still had not had the courage to tell her about what happened last night, when Athos had burst into my room and attacked me, first with fury, then with passion, taking me in his arms, almost making me his.Since then, I could not think about anything other than everything I felt, the taste of that mouth, the strength of those arms.My God! I did not know what was happening to me. At the very least, he must have been going crazy. It would be right to hate this man, for threatening to take my son away, for forcing me to live in his house, even though the experience of living there was not all bad.Since yesterday, after he fired the maid, the other two just had to lick the floor I walked on, such was the flattery. Not that she enjoyed being fawned over, but it was nice to be respected for a change.Despite having grown up in a house frequented by all kinds of men, from the most perverted to t

On Saturday night, Marina and I were ready to go to the school party, wearing our new dresses. Mine was nude , with small sparkles of sequins, cut shoulder crossed, bodycon slit that started from the bust and emerged towards the side, almost meeting the slit of the tight skirt, which went up to the apex of the thigh. Since my belly still was not showing and my breasts were slightly bigger due to the pregnancy, it had made me as sexy as I have ever been.It was optimism on my part to believe that the tyrant would let me go to this party. As soon as we reached the gates of the house, we were stopped by security and not even when I called him, explaining that it was a school party, did he give me permission to go."You have no right to stop me from leaving!" I snapped, furious, still at the gate, talking to Athos on the cell phone. "You do not own me!"“ Do not forget that your mother signed a document making me your legal guardian, with full powers over you, until you turn eighteen. And

RYLEEBeing between Marina and Matheus, I felt, in a way, protected from the hostility generated by the prejudice of other people, so I simply decided not to care about them and so I started to have fun as I have done on very few occasions throughout my existence, dancing , drinking soft drinks, eating snacks and taking funny selfies .However, soon came the moment that discouraged me from going to parties, the one when romantic songs were played and couples gathered on the floor to dance. No one ever asked me to dance, out of shame, out of fear that someone would think he was getting involved with the daughter of the biggest crook in town. And that night was no different.Marina still offered to stay with me, but I insisted that she go dancing with her date , as I did not want her to stop having fun because of me and, as usual, I went to sit in a corner, feeling painfully excluded, rejected.Bruno, a guy I almost dated in ninth grade, even approached me, as if he intended to ask me t

"Do you want to eat something else before you go to sleep?" - Athos asked, as soon as we arrived at the house, advancing through the large living room.- No. I think I ate too many snacks.And it was true. I was almost bursting from so many snacks and sodas."Then I think you'd better go to sleep." It is getting late. He gestured toward the staircase, which led to the second floor, and I hesitated.I did not want that night to end yet, I wanted to be with him, return to his arms, relive that charm that made me feel during all the hours we were together. More than that: I wanted him, as crazy as that seemed. I just did not know how to say it to him. Connecting emotionally, or even physically, with a man was not something I was familiar with. But I wanted him too much to do nothing.Then, hesitantly and timidly, I reached over and touched the fabric of his shirt with my trembling fingertips, lifting my face to look at him. The fervor I saw in the expression in his eyes spurred me on.“I

ATHOSIt had been a few minutes since Ryleea had fallen asleep in my arms, her breathing was becoming slow and long, her beautiful body, completely relaxed, molded to mine.Reluctant to pull away, I got up, being careful not to wake her, gathered her in my arms and carried her up the stairs and upstairs. I went into her room and carefully laid her on the bed.I was supposed to turn around and leave the room, but I just could not move. I stood there, watching her with barely a breath.Despite the fact that Rylee is almost a child, no other woman has ever appeared to me as feminine, beautiful, and attractive as she does. Her thick dark hair spilled over the white pillowcase as it framed her doll face; her closed eyes revealed long, dark lashes. Although she was completely relaxed, her face expressed that air of innocence that shook me as much as it made me feel guilty; the tight dress highlighted every curve of her beautiful body; her firm breasts, with pink nipples, almost bulged from

"I did not fucking do anything!" I snapped, losing patience.It was then that the two other policemen advanced on me, turning me to face the wall, without my committing the stupidity of fighting them both. The deputy handcuffed my wrists behind my back, and when I turned back to him, I could see the satisfaction in his eyes, which made me understand that this was all a big set up for me, of which he was a part. and which Arnaldo was certainly behind.Holy shit!- Hang on. He did not do anything. He spent the whole night with me,” said Rylee , approaching, frightened, startled.I wish she had not seen this. Hell!“No, miss. He went to the Riviera Club last night, we have several witnesses who saw him there.Rylee looked at me for denial and I could see the disappointment reflected in her eyes when I kept silent.“After spending about an hour with the victim in one of the suites, she was found dead by the maid. She was hanged with the wire from the intercom. We also have reports of Mr.

RYLEEAs soon as Athos left my room, I headed towards the kitchen and asked the cook to prepare macaroni and cheese, because, in addition to being a quick dish, I had already noticed that Athos really liked pasta .For God! I could not believe that I spent those two days in the most incomparable dread, believing that he had really taken someone's life. The hurt inside me was blinding me so much, that he had left me alone to go spend the night with that woman, that I could not see anything else, I did not realize how innocent I was. However, that innocence was stamped in her eyes when I asked her the truth.Athos was not guilty. He might be arrogant, have the attitudes of a tyrant, but he was not a murderer. After all, he had no reason to kill that girl. On the contrary, he needed her alive to lie, testifying in his favor about what he thought had happened between us at the club.I wish I could believe that my mother was not behind this murder, but the truth was, she would profit from

This triad represents an essential part of the fabric of human relationships and is a shared goal for many.Love is the foundation that sustains the family, and, in turn, the family is where love finds a home. Love is a deep bond that can take various forms, whether between parents and children, siblings, spouses or partners, and even close friends. This feeling is the driving force that connects people, offering support, understanding, and unconditional affection.The family, in turn, is the intimate circle where love flourishes. It is the place where memories are created, where traditions are shared, and where life's challenges are faced together. The family is the sanctuary where individuals find security and a sense of belonging. It can be formed in various ways, including blood ties or conn

Forgiveness is an act of generosity and strength, but it can also be one of the most challenging tasks a human can undertake. Forgiveness involves letting go of resentments and negative feelings toward someone who has hurt us, and this is not something that can be done superficially or automatically. Instead, it is a deep and complex emotional process that requires time, understanding, and self-transformation.One of the reasons forgiveness is so difficult is the weight of the emotions we carry. When we are hurt, it is natural to feel anger, pain, sadness, and even a desire for revenge. These feelings are powerful and often keep us tied to the traumatic event. Setting aside these emotions and making room for forgiveness requires significant effort.Furthermore, forgiveness does not necessarily mean forgetting or excusing the actions that caused the pain. It is possible to forgive someone while still acknowledging the gravity of what was done. This can be a dilemma because it may seem

I let Marina convince me that going out and having fun was the best way to get Athos out of my head. So, for the next few days, she would drag me wherever there was something interesting to do. Because of the pregnancy, we always went out during the day and I never drank alcohol. We went to the shopping center in Belize a lot, but also to a recreational club there, where we enjoyed playing sports and swimming in the waterslide. From time to time we camped and practiced other outdoor activities, such as fishing and picnics. The options weren't many. Young people in the city used to have fun in bars and clubs, but I could not sleep or drink.Matheus was always with us and from time to time Fernando showed up too. Marina's idea was that I would get to know Fernando better and end up getting involved with him, but the boy was unlucky. Almost every time we arranged to meet, something happened and he could not go. When it was not his car in trouble, it was someone in his family in trouble,

"We are not criminals who need to be sought out by the police!" I snapped, watching him with my peripheral vision.I entered the house fast as lightning and up the stairs as quickly as possible, seeking refuge in my room, but he was on my heels, following close behind, glaring at me with a face contorted with a frightening rage.I was really screwed!- It is not about this! You know that your mother still poses a great risk to this child and to you! You can't go out there without security protection!“I was not without protection. There were two adult men with us. They weren't going to let my mother get close.I entered the room in a hurry and tried to close the door from the inside, but Athos was too close and ended up getting inside.Damn it!"And who were these men?" Who was that kid you were making out with? he yelled this time, stoking the rage inside me.My nerves on edge, I turned to face him. Looking directly into his face, I felt a thud inside, a mixture of passion and longin

After examining me, he discharged me and I went back to Athos 's house , accommodated in the back seat of the car with Marina, while he drove it. Arriving there, that scoundrel had the audacity to take me in his arms and start carrying me up the stairs, in order to prevent me from going up alone."Would you please put me down?" I am not an invalid who can't get around on her own! I roared, pummeling his chest with my clenched fists, struggling in a feeble attempt to break free."Will you stop hitting me?" I am so much stronger, it is useless to try to break free.Defeated, I crossed my arms over my chest and turned my face away as I let the rascal take me."I am disgusted with you," I muttered through clenched teeth, not looking her in the face.“You hate me and I understand. Disgust is something else.- Everything that is bad, is what I feel for you.— Be careful that all this radiation does not affect the baby.The fact that he did not get upset, like he did not care how I felt, onl

“No, Rylee . What I want is for you not to run away with my son!”- I do not need it, thank you. I am fine. Just leave me alone.Clearly disappointed, she swept her gaze across the table, as if suspiciously checking to see if I was really involved with the work, or just avoiding her.- Clear. Sorry to bother.With that said, she left the office, head down, while I continued to sit behind the desk, overcome by that myriad of love and hate that burned in my veins, threatening to drive me crazy.I never left the office that night. After a few shots of whiskey, I ended up falling asleep right there, in an armchair, which made me wake up the next morning with a bad backache. Upon realizing that I was awakened by the insistent ringing of the cell phone, I answered the call, still sleepy. It was from the hospital, a nurse calling to say that Arnaldo had woken up, a miracle, according to her. In my opinion it was just the confirmation of that saying that a bad vase does not break.I analyzed

When the ambulance arrived, I was still in shock but a little calmer. Hastily, two nurses put Arnaldo on a stretcher and carried him towards the vehicle. For some unknown reason, I wanted to go with him, back there, with the security guards following us in another car. Ryleea also wanted to accompany us, but I asked her to stay at home, as the hospital where her mother had worked for several years was not a safe environment.At the hospital, I waited in a room for several hours until the only doctor in town came to see me.— Are you Arnaldo Brandao's companion? he asked, as if he did not know that I was the man's son and the only relative outside of jail.- Yes. How is he?- Not good. I managed to extract the bullet, but I am not a neurosurgeon. I won't know the extent of the damage done until after he wakes up. That if you wake up.I could put that damned old man in the helicopter and take him to a renowned neurosurgeon in São Paulo, if only to assuage my guilt in the slightest."Is
