The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire She Gets to Me
HeitorAfter three days without going to my own home, because I opposed the "stay" of my family's new guest, I concluded that I couldn't leave my home because of a scammer. The saying that those who are bothered should leave can also apply to the other party. I decided to go back home and bother sweet Lily a lot, not doing what I've done so far, leaving her free to deceive everyone by pretending to be someone she's not. On the contrary, I intend to make her stay at my house as difficult as possible, so that she gives up her sinister plans, leaves, and leaves us in peace. All those resolutions were strongly shaken when I entered the Bragança mansion, and the first person I saw was Lizandra coming down the stairs absentmindedly, unaware of my presence. I could then analyze her freely. She descended the steps slowly, her distraction being some paintings hanging on the wall beside her. And for some crazy reason, I got stuck watching that girl do something as simple as descending a stairc
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Complete Madness
LizandraI walked hurriedly towards the side balcony of the house, needing air because the atmosphere had become suffocating for me since I encountered Heitor when I was descending the stairs. He affects me in a very inconvenient way; I need to accept that fact. At the same time, I also detest him.I'm weaker than I thought. I couldn't even endure a dinner, even a simple one by the family's standards. How would I bear being on the streets? Crying all day long? Thinking about that comforts me about accepting the Bragança's help because being in that house is much better than being a person on the streets; that's quite clear. So, I need to be less fragile and get better as soon as possible so that I can somehow repay everything they are doing for me and show the insufferable Heitor that I am not a scammer, as he believes I am.
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire A big mistake
HeitorI must be crazy! I thought, understanding what had just happened on that balcony. I practically attacked Lizandra like a caveman, only missing throwing her over my shoulder and carrying her to my cave. Or, in other words, to my room."And you only remembered Catarina now?" I asked sarcastically.The words barely left my mouth, and I was irreversibly regretful. I felt guilty and ended up pouring my anger on Lizandra, something quite despicable on my part."Forget what I said," I quickly apologized, running my hands through my hair, and like Lizandra, I turned my back to her. "It was a stupid accusation.""We both messed up," she conceded. "But it won'
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire A Good Exit
CatarinaI looked at the computer at that moment with the sole intention of checking the time. Noon. I counted mentally to ten, and even before reaching eight, the door of my office opened, allowing someone I didn't want to see at that moment to enter."Hello, my love," the "intruder" said cheerfully. "I brought our lunch."I sighed exasperated as he placed some bags on the corner table, already organizing the places at the table, as he had been doing for days."I've already asked you not to bring me lunch, Bernardo," I repeated what I had said before. "What do you think Heitor will think if he finds out we're having lunch together in my office?""That we are friends," Bernardo replied calmly. "Friends and work companions. It's normal to have lunch together in this case."I got up from my seat behind the desk - I couldn't resist the smell of Japanese food, my favorite - and went to Bernardo, resigned to sit in the chair in front of his."We are not friends.""Of course, we are friends
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Something Temporary
LizandraI could barely close my eyes all night, and I couldn't say I woke up. As a result of the terrible night of tossing and turning in bed, shedding rivers of tears, I was now feeling terrible. It's as if a tractor ran over my body, leaving me completely sore. Nothing gets resolved with tears, and I wish I wouldn't cry every time things get out of control. In other words, constantly. But it's impossible not to realize that I've become a big crybaby, weak, and now also a traitor.How could I have given in to Heitor's kisses when there are so many factors to consider? He doesn't like me; he made that clear. He doesn't trust me and believes I'm a big scammer, about to con his family. He's committed! A total absurdity on my part. But our morning encounter didn't help much, as even after spending the night blaming myself for everything, just being in the same environment as he shamefully affected me. During the years I dated Samuel, I never felt what Heitor evoked in me with just a gla
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Jealousy
HeitorThe week was quite exhausting, and that dinner on a Friday night only contributed to making me mentally exhausted.I arrived home from dinner a little past nine and walked straight to the TV room, expecting to find everyone there, as had been happening in recent days. But I only found Grandpa and his good old friends watching their usual reality show."I thought Heloísa would be here," I commented, trying to sound uninterested."Heloísa went out with Catarina," Grandpa explained without even taking his eyes off the TV.I continued leaning against the doorway, waiting for more information, but my grandpa didn't even seem to notice my pre
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Running Away
HeitorThings were not as easy as I initially imagined, especially when destiny seemed to be conspiring against me all the time."I can't believe you hired that girl to be my secretary's assistant, Catarina!" I protested, genuinely indignant.For almost two weeks, I had been pursued by Lizandra everywhere I went, and I was even avoiding my own house once again, all to avoid falling into temptation, something that was becoming more difficult every day. The proof of that is the news my girlfriend has just given me."What's the problem, Heitor?" Catarina asked with irritation. "Lily is an excellent girl, hardworking, and she needs a job. She doesn't want to live solely on the charity of the Bragança, and that is
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Turning the Tables
CatarinaHeitor had decided that we needed some time alone, and it became a big issue between Bernardo and me. Another one."Your idea of bringing Heitor and Lily together didn't work," Bernardo complained for the thousandth time that night. "It's time to tell the truth, Catarina!"As the day of the trip to Angra approached, the pressure from Bernardo to tell everyone about our relationship increased, something I had no intention of doing. I could never disappoint my parents in that way."There has to be a way," I said, pacing back and forth in the room.Bernardo had come to my apartment, something quite risky that I had already forbidden him to do. We were almost caught the last time when Heitor decided to visit me without notice, which was completely out of character for him. Another proof that something was going on, and it was affecting him, and I felt it was directly related to Lily.Heitor had been acting strange every day since that girl entered our lives, and it could only mea

The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Epilogue
LizandraThe journey to Amsterdam was something magical and special. Besides having the opportunity to be by my mother's side and learn more about her life and stories, which I had been deprived of for many years, I was also with Heitor, experiencing even more glorious days. We had various family outings, but we also had our alone moments, with romantic dinners and nights filled with love and, of course, intimacy. I also got to know Heitor better now that it was just the two of us in a place completely different from what we're used to. I learned a lot about Dutch culture and was surprised by Heitor's knowledge of some of the local customs.Unlike me, Heitor had already taken several international trips and wasn't easily surprised, which, at times, became quite amusing and entertained us.O
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Hard to Accept
LizandraThe return to Rio de Janeiro felt like coming home. Despite spending my entire life in Gostoso, it never felt like a true home to me, unlike the Bragança mansion, which became home in the short time I've been living with them. It's all quite strange, considering it's not a house but a huge luxurious mansion, and the Braganças are very rich. Given my simple life, I shouldn't have adapted so quickly to all of this.But feelings can't be controlled, and despite all the differences among us, I genuinely like them all. Even Heitor had managed to carve a spot in my heart, even after being a jerk for some time. And that became the topic of the first family dinner after returning home."I need to thank all of you for welcoming my Lizandra and providing a home and so much love for h
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire The days in Gostoso
HeitorThe days in Gostoso had passed quickly, and on Ash Wednesday, we were packed and ready to return to Rio, excited after those wonderful days. At least, that's what I thought until I went to Lizandra's room and realized she was still packing, and she even seemed a bit sad."Everyone is ready. We'll be leaving soon," I commented, offering to help her with the task. "Need help packing your bags?""In fact, I..." Lizandra didn't finish what she intended to say, and I felt my heart tighten. A strange mix of warmth and cold took over my body.Seeing her hesitancy to continue speaking, I quickly remembered the night when I felt she was hiding something from me.
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Days of Peace
HeitorTo everyone's joy, Lourdes Heeren was discharged from the hospital the next day, but with several medical recommendations to follow. Faced with this condition, Lizandra fully agreed with her stepfather to withhold from Lourdes the news that Lucrécia had been arrested for involvement in an international human trafficking ring, to prevent her from ending up back in the hospital.We decided to stay in Gostoso until after the Carnival holiday so that Lizandra could have more time with her mother and they could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.However, to avoid any contact between Lizandra Juliana, and Samuel, something I suspect must not be easy given the lies that the cousin lived for years, I suggested to Dann Heeren that they stay at the same hotel where
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Moment of Love
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.
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire New Surprises
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
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire New Revelations
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
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Insecurities
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
The Virgin Saved by the Billionaire Silly Feeling
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
