Claro, vou corrigir e aprimorar o texto em inglês:---**Tyler POV**"I just wanted you guys to know that it's fine by me," I said while the two of them exchanged confused glances. I think they were surprised that I had discovered the truth after all this time."Tyler, what are you talking about?" Justin took a step forward, raising his eyebrows in confusion."No need to be embarrassed; I'm cool with it," I smiled at them, and they exchanged suspicious glances."Did you use some drug?" Josh crossed his arms, staring at me, trying to figure out what I was talking about."Josh, cut it out! I was just upset because you guys didn't tell me, but it's okay. I know you two are gay and together." As soon as I closed my mouth, they looked at me and burst into wild laughter, as if I had just cracked a joke."Oh my God, I can't stop laughing!" Josh said, throwing himself on the floor and holding his stomach."What's the joke?" Emily entered the office with Olivia in her arms, and Jade followed h
Justin POV- Justin, you can speak French, can't you? - Cassie asks me while preparing lunch.- Yes, dear. - I reply, and she smiles contentedly.- I hope you won't try to curse at me in other languages when I don't let you have a piece of cake! - She looks at me suspiciously.- How could I curse at such a wonderful being like you? - I ask, kissing her hand and making her smile.- You know, Justin... my daughter wants to study abroad in France, but she doesn't know French yet... I'm worried. She's so young and innocent! - Cassie says anxiously, and I internally laugh, remembering her daughter dancing wildly at the nightclub I frequented during the night to relax.- Do you want me to teach her? - I ask seriously, putting my hands in my pockets.- I know I'm asking a lot. After all, Tyler pays me a good salary, but I wanted to find a good French teacher for her, and Tyler mentioned that you lived in Italy for two years. I thought... maybe... you could help me. - She says timidly. - I kn
I arrived home, noticing the unsettling silence within. Did Olivia fall asleep without our usual routine? How is that possible? I went to the room, and even Emily was sleeping. I kissed them both and left so as not to wake them.I heard strange noises coming from the service area and went closer to see. Were those moans? Justin's? Wow. He must be with Josh. I stepped back and waited for them to come out into the kitchen. After fifteen minutes, Justin appeared looking a bit embarrassed."Where's Josh?" I asked."Josh?" He looked scared and started to sweat."Wasn't he with you?" I furrowed my brow indignantly."Tyler, I need to show you something in the office." He tried to get me out of the kitchen as quickly as possible, but I refused, feeling suspicious.Suddenly, Jade entered the kitchen from the same place, wiping off smudged lipstick. I clenched my hands on the table, on the verge of exploding. I could feel the veins popping on my forehead, and anger took over me at that moment.
Jade Mitchell's POVMy face was swollen from crying so much; maybe Tyler was right, and I was just a child after all, given all my childish actions. Justin had been sitting on the other side of the door, calling me for hours, and I hadn't even responded. I looked through the crack once again, and there he was."Go away, don't you have those sluts to fawn over tonight?" I shouted loudly for him to hear."Cut it out, Jade. I just want to talk," he said."Talk to the bimbos you picked up last night." After saying that, he didn't reply anymore; I saw that he had moved away. I went back to bed and stared at the instrument I hadn't used in a long time to ease the pain. Would it be wrong to use it again because of a man? Am I really an immature girl? I removed the blade from my sight and lay back down.Suddenly, the doorknob turned, and I saw Justin enter and lock the door again."Get out," I said, turning away as quickly as I could to hide my tear-stained face."No," he said, approaching an
Six months later.Emily POV"I didn't even know our last names were different," I said as we left the registry office after changing my last name to Mitchel."At the time of the wedding, your father insisted that it be different, but anyway, ready for tonight?" Tyler asked, referring to the party that high society would throw, and of course, we were invited.In the last few months, our family has achieved a lot. The transportation company has been profitable, and besides legal transports, we also handle other shipments. With all the borders closed, other traffickers pay us to transport their shipments. And so, our name has been at the top.We have few news about Johanna and Paul; it seems they found out we were getting close and fled to another country, maybe Canada. Caroline also showed no signs of life, and in a way, I was very happy about that."I'm very excited to see all those bitches practically flying over you," I said, getting into the car."Don't worry, I'll only look at one
POV tylerNow you'll learn once and for all not to hit on my man," Emily said, practically launching herself at the woman."Let me go, you crazy..."Emily didn't let her finish and tackled her to the ground. She then started pulling the girl's hair, dragging her outside and stopping on the sidewalk."Now," she mounted the other girl, "you'll respect me, you slut." With her hand firmly in the woman's hair, Emily began rubbing her face on the ground.No one dared to separate the two, not even me. I was proud.Justin and Jade arrived somewhat bewildered. Can't these people wait until they get home?"Emily, you're going to kill her," Jade shouted, not risking getting close to the blonde.Then she hit the other girl's face on the asphalt twice more, leaving her with several cuts. Emily stood up, wiping the blood from her hands."And next time, I'll run over you with a tractor," she said, glancing over her shoulder. Upon realizing the crowd around, she twisted her face in disapproval. "Let
JADE POV"I like you," Justin says, intertwining our hands."Why don't you love me?" I insist, confused, pulling away instantly."Why do you have to ruin this moment?" he says angrily."Why can't you just love me?" I say with tears in my eyes. "Enough," I add, taking him off me and grabbing his clothes scattered on the floor. "It's always like this. You come, have sex with me, and leave," I say, wrapping the sheet around my body and standing in front of him."But I'm also faithful and respectful to you," he says, puffing, as if that's enough."Look, I need someone willing to be with me and not give me the impression that it could end at any second," I say, swallowing my tears and responding seriously, shrugging, trying not to care."What do you mean by that? Are you breaking up with me, is that it?" he asks incredulously."Ending, Justin? How could I end what never existed?" I shrug, trying to seem like I don't care."What do you mean it never existed? I've been sleeping with you for
Emily POV"AAAAAAAH BAAA BAAA!" I woke up to Olivia's screams, realizing she was kicking her father's face and laughing about it. What a heavy sleep, huh? Tyler didn't seem to mind the kicks."Let your dad sleep, Olivia!" I turned her with my feet down, and she offered her body to me, smiling. Such falseness, when dad is sleeping, I'm useful, right, Emily? She's not even a year old yet, remember that! I tried to remind myself to be gentler with my daughter. I picked her up and placed her in the playpen in our room, then went to the bathroom, and as expected, she started screaming. A good way to wake up Tyler. I brushed my teeth quickly, tied my hair, and went to tend to the crying baby."What time is it?" Tyler asked me sleepily."Almost eleven, are you going to the company today?" I asked, picking up Olivia and nursing her."I'm obliged to, I have a meeting with Manuel. He wants me to take his son to work there, and I'm already late," he said, stretching in bed."Manuel Marvin? His s
### Pov Olivia"Are you ready, my daughter?" my mother asked, gently tapping on the door.I finished putting on my hat and nodded. She took my hand and led me to the car, where my father was already waiting in the driver's seat. We arrived early at the cemetery, and for now, only Justin and Ingrid were there, both with expressions heavy with sorrow as they gazed at the coffin.We approached slowly, and they greeted us with somber looks."We're burying him in an hour... you didn't have to come so early," Uncle Justin said sternly, trying to hide the anger and pain in his voice."She wanted to come say goodbye," my mother replied, looking at me with an encouraging glance. She signaled for me to approach the coffin.With a heavy heart, I took a few steps toward David's coffin. Each step felt heavier than the last. Ingrid placed her hand on my shoulder and tried to muster a smile. "He would have liked to see you one last time. He loved you, Olivia," she said, her voice trembling but since
### POV Olivia"Antony..." I murmured nervously, looking at his body lying in front of me. Tears blurred my vision, but I couldn't waste any time."Come on, Olivia, we don't have much time. Forget about Antony, he's gone now. You need to live!" David said, gripping my arm tightly and dragging me towards the trees."How did you find me?" I asked in surprise, hearing footsteps of people running after us."I tracked your phone," he said seriously, looking for a place for us to hide."But it's turned off. They removed the SIM... and there's no internet signal here..." I grumbled, confused."I put a tracker on your phone," he replied."Oh my God, you creep, why did you do that?" I let go of his hand, stepping back in fear.David took a deep breath for a moment and looked at me seriously. "Olivia, I did it because I love you. I couldn't stand seeing you pining over Peter. That day, when I saw you kissing him at your father's house, since that day I felt hatred, resentment. I wanted to kill
### POV Tyler"Are you crazy? That man is a scumbag! How can you do business with him?" Emily nearly vomited with indignation when I told her who my new ally was."I know," I replied, trying to stay calm. "But if we want to get our daughter back, he's the only person who knows Ethan's location. Remember when I asked Antony to check all the warehouses in the city? We found out that guy was the only one Ethan was doing business with. The frequency and his employees were so discreet it was almost imperceptible." I shrugged and collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. "Any news from Josh and Justin?" I asked, noticing the worried look on Emily's face. She shook her head, confirming there wasn't."Anne can't stop crying. She's having to deal with everything alone. To make matters worse, Noah keeps saying Ethan is his father. She's devastated, and Ingrid can't stop looking for her kidnapped niece," she replied sadly, the pain evident in her voice."That's all the more reason I need to rip the hea
### POV Tyler"So, what do you intend to give me in exchange for this information?" the fat man with his cane asked suspiciously, his small, calculating eyes fixed on me."I'll release some of your men I've captured and stay away from your business for at least three months. You'll have carte blanche to do whatever you want during that time," I replied seriously, taking a sip of the whiskey on the table."Tyler... Tyler... who would have thought that after all this time, you'd come to me proposing a deal..." He laughed cynically, his eyes gleaming with malice. "What do you want with Ethan?" He raised an eyebrow, clearly suspicious."That's none of your business! It's personal... I want to know if you accept my deal," I responded curtly, shrugging, not caring about his suspicions."Tyler... Tyler... you’re as arrogant as ever!" He shook his head, thoughtful. "Do you think I'll let you come into my house and deceive me? Have you and that worthless Ethan made some kind of deal to take me
**POV Olivia**I woke up again feeling dizzy, with lapses of memory, alternating between waking and falling asleep without being able to keep my eyes open for long."Look, the little princess is awake!" Alana entered the room with a cynical look, while my hands and feet were tied to the chair, preventing me from escaping."This won't end like this. What have you done to me? Why do I feel so..." I couldn't finish the sentence. My lips were numb, and my mouth tingled."Sedated? Perhaps because you're under the effect of sedatives. We already know you're a match, but we had to run a lot of tests to check if your bone marrow is in good condition, considering the amount of alcohol you consume at your father's parties. We'll need at least two more days to detox you from all the medications. Don't worry, this is the last sedative!" She winked, applying that greenish liquid into my bloodstream again."My bone marrow? What do you want with it?" I asked, trying not to succumb to the anesthesia c
**POV Tyler**"Tyler... Tyler, wake up!" I heard a female voice beside me, shaking my body. The voice seemed distant, and I felt weak. After much insistence, I slowly opened my eyes. The brightness hurt my retinas. The room was all white, filled with equipment. I tried to move, but felt something attached to my arm. Then, a gentle touch on my face and a tight hug."Tyler... I thought you were dead. I'm so happy you're alive!"I opened my eyes and saw Emily in tears, her face red and swollen, looking like she had been crying for hours. I looked around and realized I was strapped to a hospital bed, with various machines monitoring my vital signs."What happened? How long have I been here?" I asked desperately. Emily stepped back, swallowing hard."Seven days. You've been in a coma for seven days. Josh and Justin still haven't woken up. The doctor said they're in critical condition, worse than you... we don't know when they'll wake up," Emily replied, lowering her head."No... that's imp
**POV Tyler**With my heart racing, I got into the car and started the engine. As I drove through the nearly deserted streets, a fierce determination took hold of me. No matter what it took, I would bring Sara back safely. Josh and Justin were my closest friends, and I knew I could count on them.When I arrived at the meeting point, I saw Josh and Justin already waiting. They looked at me seriously, ready for what was to come."We're going to get Sara and make sure she comes home safely," I said, looking at both of them."We're with you, Tyler," Josh replied firmly. Justin nodded, the same determination reflected in his eyes.We arrived near the warehouse, having meticulously planned every detail. There were a few men at the back of the building, and I had positioned some patrol cars at key points on the streets to prevent possible escapes. After rescuing Sara, the plan was to interrogate one of Ethan's men and find out what he was planning and why he was so fixated on Noah."Let's go
**POV Olivia**"It's better this way, honey. We need to trust your father. He wants the best for us," my mother said, smiling and stroking my hair as I lay on the bed, crying in anger.She wiped away one of the tears running down my face and suggested, "How about we watch a movie together? It's been a while since I arrived, but we haven't had time to do normal mother-daughter things. We've been apart for so long... I want to know more about you," she smiled, excited."Thank you, Mom... I would love that," I replied, a slight smile forming on my lips, and she nodded.As soon as she left the room, I sent a message to Peter, asking if he knew anything. I fiddled with my phone to pass the time while my mother made popcorn in the microwave. Finally, I received a message."Do you want to find that bitch Sarah? And your dear friend David, who betrayed you? Come to Xavier Marques Street, near the dark alley. I'll be there and take you to them..."There was no sender. It was another one of tho
**POV Tyler**"Okay... Does Emily have a twin sister that her father sold to a couple when she was born?" I asked again, shaking my head, unable to believe my own words."Yes, Alana Parker was a victim of human trafficking..." Olivia replied seriously, while Emily swallowed hard. "She helped me find my mom, but now it seems like she wants some kind of payment for her help..." Olivia finished her sentence."What does this crazy woman want? Money? Could she be working for Ethan?" I stood up from the table nervously, unable to stay still."I don't know... I didn't go with her... but she really wanted me to," Olivia muttered, hugging Emily, who didn't want to let go of her."Alana is dangerous. I always suspected her and doubted she was on our side. I don't know what she wants, but we have to protect our daughter, Tyler!" Emily said nervously.The anguish in Emily's eyes was evident. She clearly didn't want to lose Olivia after already losing so many years of raising her."Emily, we will
