With love, Mr. Bragança CHAPTER 49
NELLYI don't knock on the door, but stare at the doorknob as if my end is near. I lose track of time when the first two minutes pass, so when I hear my mother call his name, the man I love, in a seductive way, as if they were close, I reach my limit of what I can bear and open the door. My eyes scan every inch of the room until they find the woman who brought me into this world and the man I love sitting together on the couch, very close to each other. They both look at me in shock, like they're seeing a ghost and just can't believe it."Do I interrupt?" I asked, focusing on my mother's hands squeezing David's left arm. Neither of them says anything, they just stay in the same position without taking their eyes off me.''Nelly.'' David says my name as he did when we were alone, locked in his apartment or curled up on his living room floor. Only this time, no heat passes through my body. In fact, the opposite effect happens.I'm angry. Furious with him. "Daughter?'' Kaciana speaks and

DAVID "Won't you go after her?" I clenched my hands into fists and counted to ten to the sound of Kaciana's voice. I can't attack a woman, even if I despise her and she's a disgusting human being.I stare at the door through which she left, the girl who is in love with me, the girl whose heart I have broken, and I mentally repeat that I must go after her, to go after the girl who has my mind and dry every one of her tears. But I can't. Not when I'm the main cause of your pain."That's pathetic, the way you look at it." Kaciana says, and I feel her body moving closer to mine.My muscles tense up, but I keep my hands down."You know, Nelly's father was the only man I really loved and cared for. His death was like my death too, I spent a lot of time trying to live like nothing had changed, but when you love someone the way I loved them, you can't just move on like nothing happened.""So? Do you expect this sad story of yours to touch my heart?" I say in a harsh tone."You and her would n

NELLYMy eyelids are heavy, and I have to work harder than usual to open my eyes. When I do, everything is dark.If it weren't for a gap in the roof of what I believe to be an abandoned shed, I wouldn't have seen my best friend slumped over and tied up next to me.The sound of heels crunching dry leaves and slamming against the worn floor makes me look for her in the shadows. I don't need time to remember what happened when I left David's office. She did it. Charlotte. "Where's Kiara, you crazy girl!? What did my friend do? An enormous rage arises in me when I remember her frightened face just before Charlotte hit her with a wooden stick.We were behind David's building, Kiara was trying to get some information out of me when I told her that I didn't reveal about the pregnancy. She took me there so as not to attract anyone's attention and because she still hoped to change my mind."Look who's awake. Finally." Charlotte says in an amused voice, smiling and clapping her hands. I put my

NELLYI keep forcing myself to keep my mind sane, if not for me, then for the little being in my womb. I spent years believing that I was weak, unworthy of love when, in fact, the problem was with the people around me. My mother was sick, Charlotte is sick, Edward was never able to make his own choices, and even Alice doesn't escape this list. I can see it now, all those years of toxic relationships made me believe that I didn't deserve something bigger, better. I'm dancing with my memories, opening all the doors I've kept closed to face the monsters, I can't count on the prince this time. This fight is mine and I am the only one who can defeat the dragon.I call my kidnapper's name, no, I scream for her.One.Two.3 times.'"What are you doing?" Alice asks, raising her eyebrows as she waits for the rusty door to open. Her jaw is locked and the way she forces herself to keep her head tilted, I can bet she has neck pain.I don't answer, I just wait for someone to walk through the door

DavidForty-five minutes before...I didn't know if the plan was going to work, but it was my only hope, and the clock was ticking. I made a mistake when I didn't immediately terminate Carlota contract and let her into my life again. Once again, I failed in my mission to take care of my Nelly.I drove down with a pain in my chest, determined to correct my mistake with every step I take, I allow Edward to guide us through what appears to be an abandoned place. It took him more than two hours to get here after an anonymous message arrived at his cell phone, indicating the location. The message offered an invitation, it was not necessary to add A + B to find out the sender. It was obvious even for an eight-year-old. The point is that we have a plan. We just need to make it work. My whole body is under strain and even though I try to stay calm, the blood rushes through my veins, speeding up my heartbeat. From afar, even in dim lighting, I clearly see the profile of three figures, three, n

DAVIDI turn to the man in the costume, Edward, and look for signs that we still have a deal, that this is still an act and that he's not the villain. Anything at all.“Stay here.” Nelly says, with sympathy and concern. I frown, not understanding her words, until I hear Johna and Edward arguing.I've been exposed to the woman I love. She's alive, but still in danger. His gaze is uncertain, moving quickly from me to Carlota in a few seconds. I want to move and protect her with my body, but every muscle is straining to keep me awake and everything weighs a ton, my vision has been compromised by the swelling in my eye. The first thing I notice is that her body trembles at the sound of my voice, she's ignoring my presence for some reason, but she can't do it completely, I can tell by the way her eyes pass over me for a few seconds, almost as if she wants to make sure I'm alive and breathing.His eyes are fixed on Carlota. They both engage in a contest with their eyes and start a conversat

NELLYSeconds.Seconds it took me to realize that David doesn't want this child. Seconds, to have a gun pointed at my head, seconds, until I realized that nothing should be more important than the safety of this baby. Because I will be to him or her everything that no one has ever been to me. A mother, a friend, a confidant, a safe place. I will protect this baby with everything I have, including my safety.Edward keeps his hand on David's arm to stop his advance, but the look in his eyes tells me that he too is having to control himself. Reluctantly, he is blaming himself, feeling responsible for my safety and pain, but I don't blame him. Although, I can't look at him for a long time either, so I look at the girl who has always been there for me when I needed her, defending me, making me smile and motivating me. Alice is tense, shaking her head at the idea I've just had, because of everyone here, Alice knows me best. She somehow knows that I've reached my limit and I'm no longer goin

NELLYWe're all frozen in place. Each with their own reason, but all of us focused on Carlota.“I agree, my boyfriend wasted precious years believing in a hopeless affair. You never deserved this. The best thing is for you to disappear from our lives once and for all.” says Alice.“Shut up! Edward loves me, no one is more important to him than me.” Carlota shouts, showing her true essence.This is great.She's losing control.“A child would be important.” Alice says and I feel the mood change. Edward is looking at her now, searching for something more in her speech.“What are you waiting for to pull the trigger?” I ask, turning my body to face her.''I...''She stutters.“Killing Johna was easy because he didn't matter, I'm different, right? I'm his Achilles heel,” I say.“I don't care about you.” she says, but I hear the uncertainty in her tone.Maybe I'm right.“Pull the trigger,” I encourage.“You think I can't shoot you, you fat girl?”“You're not going to shoot me,” I say.She let
