Lizandra

When Heloísa wished me good vibes, I didn't imagine she was foreseeing what would happen that afternoon, and her words came to my mind when Heitor called me to his office. Joana had a setback in a medical appointment and couldn't return to work after lunch, leaving me as her substitute, something entirely normal.

What is not normal is the way my heart is beating wildly in my chest as I glance at him sneakily, quite foolish on my part, as Heitor doesn't take his eyes off me for a moment. Every time I tried to look in his direction, he was staring at me. This only contributed to making me tense and... sensitive.

After going through some important information as requested by Joana, Heitor stood up and walked around the desk, stopping by my side. If I was already feeling tense before his approach, now I felt stretched like a violin string and immediately stood up as well.

"Well, that's it, I'll go back to my desk," I said hastily, I even think I stuttered at this moment.

But I co

    HeitorThe door closed gently behind Lizandra, but for me, it was like a crash. Did she do that? I couldn't believe it. But instead of boiling with anger, as would be the normal reaction of a guy who was deceived by a girl who until recently was completely inexperienced, I ended up bursting into laughter.Lizandra never fooled me. She has a strong temper and is far from naive. She's not a scam artist, I concluded that a few days ago, but that strong personality managed to confuse me, and now it proved completely true what I saw in her from the moment she mistreated me on the beach."This will come back to you, Miss Lily. Just wait!"I looked at my messy desk, and the memory of what we just did in that room reminded me of the hot moments but also left me unsatisfied again. So, Lizandra made good use of the moments and left me hanging, because the first thing I did when I got under the shower in my home bathroom was to relieve the frustration I've been feeling for days and that became u

    BernardoI've been around Heitor for many years; we were just children when our friendship began, and I know him well enough to understand that he was as sharp as I am, which helped us in various moments of our lives. But my relationship with Catarina and the way everything happened between us, and even worse, the way Heitor found out about everything, caused a significant strain on our friendship, and I understand that it will never be the same.However, this was affecting Heitor's judgment, and the biggest proof of that is that even though I insisted that I had something important to say and that it was in his interest - I know Lizandra is important to Heitor, even if he may not have fully grasped that yet - still, he refused to listen to me. Now, facing Dann Heeren and his wife Lourdes once again, I confirmed how much she and Liza

    HeitorWith each new piece of information, I felt more confused about everything. While I believed that all of this wasn't a coincidence and that this woman could only be Lizandra's mother, I couldn't connect the same person they were talking about to the girl I knew. It couldn't all be an act; I couldn't continue to believe in that possibility after spending daily life with Lizandra. I couldn't persist in the idea that she was a scammer because it made no sense!A scammer wouldn't end everything just because I didn't disclose the real reason for my breakup with Catarina. A scammer wouldn't reject all the things I found out that Lizandra refused from my grandfather. My conversation with Luciano Monteiro also brought me some new information about Lizandra and new blackmail from him, which I was trying to handle on my own but would probably need to

    HeitorSeeing Lizandra hurriedly walking towards the restaurant exit with Heloísa and the jerk who had dinner with them, I almost believed I wouldn't be able to get Lizandra and Lourdes Heeren face to face. Fortunately, I still found them waiting for the valet to bring their car, and I smiled satisfied as I invited my clients to meet some special people.As I expected, Dann and his wife promptly accepted my invitation, and now Lizandra and Lourdes were face to face. However, now there's no more doubt, and they seem not to know each other, I thought with disappointment. It's not possible that both were pretending so convincingly, as it also made no sense. At least, that's what I thought when I introduced Lourdes and Dann Heeren to Lizandra. Everything changed when the opposite happened."Lo

    LizandraI got out of Heloísa's car still completely stunned. Maybe "stunned" cannot summarize everything I'm feeling right now. I am completely lost. Clumsily, I said goodbye to Heloísa and hurriedly climbed the steps leading to the second floor of the huge house."Why are you in such a hurry, Lily?"Of course, Heloísa would question my haste; I had no doubts about that. But I was not inclined to talk now when feelings were disconnected within me, everything quite confusing."I... need to go to the bathroom," I blatantly lied. "See you at breakfast. Good night."I continued to climb the stairs in a hurry, while Heloísa remained in the same plac

    BernardoI rang the doorbell of Catarina's apartment with more force than necessary, but I can say that I reached my limit after days of not getting any attention from my girlfriend, despite trying with all my strength. And when I say attention, I'm not being arrogant. Catarina has been avoiding me for days, and I am so tired of this situation.After some time without being answered, I rang the doorbell again. And once more. On the fourth attempt, Catarina finally opened the door, and the expression of discontent on her face was quite evident. She didn't bother to disguise it this time."We need to talk," is the classic phrase of someone who feels deceived. "Can I come in?""You're already here," Catarina grimaced in disgust. "Come in."With no courtesy whatsoever, Catarina left the door open and turned her back on me, entering the apartment hallway and heading toward the living room without even checking if I would follow. Like a fool, I closed the door and followed her, but I stoppe

    HeitorThe quick car trip from São Gonçalo do Amarante Airport in Rio Grande do Norte to the municipality of São Miguel do Gostoso on the northern coast of the state was almost entirely in complete silence. Except for when Grandpa asked Lizandra questions or made comments about the region.Bernardo had opted to rent another car for himself and was closely following us. Exactly an hour after leaving the airport, we arrived at the hotel we had reserved on Gostoso Beach. The first thing I did when getting out of the car was walk over to where Lizandra was and ask how she was feeling returning to her hometown after months away. When I stopped by her side, I noticed in her eyes that she was sensitive and on the verge of tears."We're with you, Lizandra," I said, holding her hand. "You're not alone anymore, understand?"Lizandra just nodded affirmatively. I figured she would probably break down at any moment if she tried to say anything. Heloisa and Grandpa seemed to have sensed the delicat

    LizandraThe first time I saw Lourdes Heeren, I felt nothing towards the woman being introduced to me. Nothing. Now everything was completely different when she entered the restaurant, and Heloísa didn't warn about her presence. My heart was huge inside my chest as if it no longer fit in that place. The beats were too fast, causing a sensation of tremendous discomfort, but I remained firm in not letting all the emotions overwhelming me at that moment show.That woman abandoned me for years, and nothing can change that fact. Nothing she does will repair the years I wondered where my mother was and why she never thought to come back for me or even made a simple visit. And that's what I clung to, not to let myself be carried away by those silly and disproportionate feelings for someone who meant so little to me. So, I just returned to the present moment and r

    LizandraI looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed, not knowing what to do or say when they left us alone. Despite appearing quite debilitated among the white sheets, she remained extremely beautiful, and her smile added a different sparkle to her face."My dear daughter," Lourdes said, breaking the silence. "I'm so happy you came to see me.""I... I'm sorry," was the most I could say.Despite my awkwardness, Lourdes continued to smile and extended her arms in a silent request for a hug, which I accepted, even though I wasn't prepared for it. However, as I felt my mother's arms around me for the first time in so many years, emotion took over my entire being, and I felt that it would overflow through my eyes, as tears were about to roll down my face.

    HeitorThe distance between São Miguel do Gostoso and Natal is only a hundred and fifteen kilometers, but the time we spent getting to the state capital was extremely distressing for Lizandra, and it was noticeable to all of us in the car with her.We left Gostoso at seven in the morning because Lizandra wanted to get to where her mother was as quickly as possible. If it were up to her, she would have done it the night before, as soon as she received the news from Bernardo. However, Dann Heeren informed her that the hospital did not allow visits outside normal hours and that it would be pointless to hit the road at night just to be in Natal.Despite my grandfather's insistence, Heloísa managed to convince him to stay at the hotel with Cristina and Leonardo, while my sister and Berna

    LizandraFaced with the veiled threat made by Heitor, Juliana widened her eyes with genuine horror, and at that moment, she broke into compulsive sobbing, pleading with me repeatedly to forgive her. Meanwhile, Samuel hugged her protectively, his gaze also seeming to plead the same from me. It became clear to me at that moment that he truly cared for Juliana, but it didn't bother me, and I concluded that I didn't feel anything for Samuel anymore."Please don't send me to prison, please... please..." Juliana repeated in tears, hands clasped together. "I'm pregnant!"I had no intention of filing any kind of lawsuit against my aunt and Juliana. However, I didn't try to calm her down because she needed to feel at least a little fear to understand how serious what she did was. Now, however, upon hearing her revelation, I felt obligated to soften things."Calm down, Juliana," I said empathetically. "I don't intend to send anyone to prison."Juliana visibly sighed in relief, but her crying to

    HeitorWhen Bernardo and Heloísa returned to Grandpa's suite, we all decided to go down for breakfast. It was already past nine in the morning, and there was no point in continuing to talk about Luciano's deceit, now that Lizandra seemed to be calmer."How about a dune buggy ride?" I suggested with enthusiasm. "Since we're here, we might as well enjoy the beauty of the place.""I love the idea!" Heloísa exclaimed."I'm not young enough for these adventures," Grandpa remarked. "I'll wait for my old friends right here at the hotel. But you should enjoy our little vacation.""I have a commitment, so I can't join you either," Bernardo explained. He didn't need to specify who the commitment was with; we all knew it was related to the formalities of the contract with the Heerens. I was pleased that he didn't mention the couple's name, as it's still a delicate topic for Lizandra, precisely when I'm trying to help her forget these issues for a few hours."And you, Lily?" I asked, noticing she

    HeloísaWhen Bernardo looked up from his phone and stared at me with an expression of disbelief, I concluded that he still knew nothing about my crush. Catarina didn't tell him, and he found out at this exact moment, precisely when we were together in Grandpa's suite. I was even more surprised when he called me for a conversation, something I have no desire to do at the moment."Can we go to the suite?" Bernardo asked already in the hallway.I didn't want to talk to Bernardo right now, but as I couldn't avoid it, nothing more sensible than doing it in the privacy of my hotel suite, which is right next to Grandpa's room."I had no idea, Heloísa," was the first thing Bernardo said when we entered my suite. "We've always been

    LizandraI was trying to explain to Heitor why I didn't involve him in that problem after Luciano's call. However, it is quite clear to everyone in that room how upset Heitor is with me for doing that. And it's going to get worse when he finds out what happened."When Lizandra told me about that coward's threat, I quickly contacted some acquaintances, and they solved the problem," Vicente explained."How so?" Heitor asked an expression of disbelief on his face."A hacker wiped out all of Luciano's files. Everything he had saved," Vicente spoke in a way that would have been funny because it was as if it were something simple to solve, "I didn't know, however, that there were more things for him to use against us."

    HeitorI woke up the next morning to the phone ringing, still groggy with sleep. I answered without even checking who was calling me so early and had a big surprise when Grandpa summoned me to his suite as quickly as possible. Since Grandpa would never do something like that unless it was really serious, I put on the first clothes I found and hurried out to the hallway.The first thing I saw upon opening my room door was my sister coming out of the room next door, which didn't cause any immediate reaction from me as I was still not fully awake at that moment."Grandpa called you too?" I asked, rubbing my face.However, noticing the genuine horror on Heloísa's face left me curious and unable to understand the reason for her reaction, until Bernardo also came out of the room. Without realizing I was standing next to Heloísa—his attention was focused on closing the door—he commented to my sister."We need to hurry, Helô. Grandpa seemed worr..."Bernardo didn't finish his sentence because

    LizandraI couldn't handle the whirlwind of emotions that engulfed me upon discovering that my mother had never truly abandoned me. I simply ran, and sprinted, until I was sure I was alone once again. The thought that my mother was taken away from me by people I trusted, Juliana and her mother, is too painful. So, my aunt, the woman who raised me and whom I had always been grateful to, never did anything out of pure kindness. She must have benefited from everything I could have enjoyed all those years. Most importantly, she kept me from receiving the love of my mother all that time.How many nights did I go to sleep crying because I didn't have a mother? How many nights did I lament the absence of someone who loved me, feeling extremely lonely? Lonely was the right word.I remembered the moment when Heitor called us to sit and talk. I even had difficulty walking to the chair reserved for me next to Heitor and Mr. Vicente, so nervous I was at that moment. But I knew I couldn't postpone

    HeitorWhen I told Juliana's boyfriend to hold her and her mother, I believed he would do that. From what I could understand from his behavior at the table and based on what I read in his messages to Lizandra, I suspected that he was not at all pleased with the situation. Why he chose to remain by that girl's side is something I couldn't comprehend, and I didn't care at the moment."I think it's best if we all sit down," I pointed out, seeing that we had attracted the attention of everyone dining in the restaurant. "We have some things to clarify."The waiters had already cleared the used dishes, and there were only a few wine glasses on the table. I seriously considered downing the contents of one of them but restrained myself."Can someone explain w
