With love, Mr. Bragança CHAPTER 56
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

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

NELLY "It doesn't have to stay." I speak, looking away from the silver irises, at the tray of leftover food that Carmen had just forgotten on top of the dresser. Which is odd, considering how much she insisted with the other nurse to do this task."I insist on taking you home." Edward says, smiling without showing his teeth, but still unable to hide his discomfort. I don't understand what he's doing here after everything we've been through, looking at him makes me think of Carlota and I don't want that. Deep down, I know he's trying to make up for what his sister did, and I even understand his insistence, but I'd rather be alone.Why insist when it's obvious that my presence also bothers you in some way?I reflect."Okay." I end up agreeing, devoting the next few seconds of my attention to the needle attached to the vein in my hand. Vitamin, said the doctor after the battery of tests I did.Vitamins and a balanced diet and I'll be fine.But the doctor doesn't know that a lack of vit

NELLYTwo men entered the room a few seconds later and broke up the fight between David and Edward. The tallest of the security guards wraps Edward around the waist, impeding his advance, which by far was the wisest idea considering the murderous look on his face. Both he and David have exchanged threats, but I feel that some of their hatred has nothing to do with me directly, but with unfinished business from the past.I'll bet you a buck that all repressed hatred has to do with Carlota and her set-ups in the past. David has already made it clear that Charlotte was stalking him and caused him to transfer schools.My eyes were torn between my first youthful crush and my platonic love, but when David caught me staring, I had to feign indifference.It turns out that it is very difficult to camouflage feelings, let alone hide them in front of the eyes of the person you like."What are you doing here?" the question came from me, the bitter feeling corrupting my entire mouth. David blinked

NELLY I'm giving up on you, on us. Of everything. The phrase echoes inside my head as I watch Gerald, the main character in the best romance film French cinema has ever produced, break down in tears, sitting in the last pew at his childhood friend's wedding, when she finally says yes to the only man in the entire hundred minutes of footage who took no notice of his stutter. I should be saddened by the outcome of the story, but I'm not. Giulia always prioritized her friend, giving him all the first places in her life, and he was never reciprocated, always bringing weak justifications for her shitty behavior. She got over it, though. So I woke up this morning and I couldn't forget the final sentence of the film, when the contents of the letter that Giulia wrote to Gerald before getting married are finally revealed. I had to rerun the film, which brings us to the present. My eyes are swollen from crying, and I blame the accelerated pregnancy hormones hard, I can say with certainty that
