With love, Mr. Bragança CHAPTER 53
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

Nelly David is quick in his actions, he waits for Carlota to be off guard and takes the pistol out of her hand, dropping it when she tries to get it back. Realizing that the situation is going to repeat itself, I anticipate and enter between them, crouching and touching the handle of the gun, but the red-painted nails rest on my wrist and tear my skin there. I look up, not wanting to, but knowing who I'm going to meet."It ends here." Kaciana says, giving me a look so meaningful that time loses its value, becoming slow, heavy. I can't stop my eyes from filling with tears."Mom." My tone is loaded, ignoring that I am his target. I look at her as the girl who begged for another hug. Deep down, I'm begging her not to end our story that way. She gave me life, her blood runs through my veins, I'm part of her."I have no other choice," she says, her gaze unbiased.''Kaciana''. David says in a warning tone, at this moment, he has already given up on Carlota and is by my mother's side." Don't

NELLY"It was self-defense." David speaks after long minutes of silence, his black irises nailed to me, confident and determined. His face is swollen and bruised, but he still exudes power and authority. "Carlota kidnapped us and threatened to take the lives of my wife and son, Kaciana only acted on instinct." He adds and I don't let his words through.''Self-defense.'' Alice repeats and I feel Edward's eyes on me, on David. Whatever he's thinking, he's not going to argue."Your mother was with Charlotte on this plane, Nelly. Her conversation with my sister made it clear that there was a partnership, and we also saw a woman when we got here. Kaciana is dangerous. She can't go unpunished," he says, his voice still choked by tears. I'm not saying I agree with him, because something inside isn't sure what just happened.'Self-defense.'' I speak finally and his jaw clenches."That's stupid." He speaks. "Self-defense." I repeat, and we fight a small battle with the gaze, unti

David I leave Nelly's room heartbroken. We've been through a lot in a short time, and I don't want to cause her any more stress. I will need to be cautious from now on, I had a serious conversation with the doctor and found out that your pregnancy is risky, and I need to be patient. Nelly was exposed to a tense situation and any argument can cause complications, however, I'm not giving up on her, on us. On the contrary, I have a long way to go to get your forgiveness, and I will do whatever it takes.I go to the bathroom and wash my face, I have severe marks on my mouth and eyes. The positive side is that I gained empathy from her, I saw in her little eyes that she still cares about me.I pull out my phone and dial Edward's number, passing on the message that I know he'll accept it, because he owes it to Nelly too and will do anything to extinguish his guilt. I don't agree with letting Kaciana get away with it, despite what Nelly said earlier, to me, your mother is just as dangerous a
With love, Mr. Bragança CHAPTER 60
DAVIDI'm finally home, calling the front desk every fifteen minutes to hear from Nelly, until I'm referred to speak directly to her nurse, the same one I spoke to earlier and receive information that calms me down. I also call the hospital where Kiara is admitted and I am relieved to know that despite the blow to the head, her condition is not serious, on the contrary, there were no sequelae and soon she will be able to leave. I was afraid to tell Nelly about her friend's condition. Edward also called me and revealed his suspicions of Kaciana, who, apparently, told her contorted version of his involvement with Carlota and the kidnapping to the sheriff.When I woke up I felt strange, empty, the bed seemed wide enough for a family of elephants or my loneliness.Loneliness.That word never struck me as bitter, for it used to be my sweetest punishment. Being alone was the destiny I chose years ago when I denied myself happiness.Now, I'm in the cemetery, staring at Luís Miguel's tombstone
