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

    NELLY ''You?'' It wasn't meant to sound like a question, but I'm really feeling confused.Alice smiled without revealing her teeth, a nervous, fake smile that made me take two steps back.''Can I come in?'' She looked at me, then over my shoulder and studied my room. She's never been here, but I can't tell if she's curious about my house or looking for someone.I cleared my throat, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear, and smiled if I was good.''Of course''My eyes followed her movements to the couch, so when she looked at me, there were thousands of questions in her eyes. However, one stood out, and I had to pretend I didn't notice.Frankly, it was too early for an honest conversation, my wounds were just beginning to heal, and I wasn't going to take a step until I was sure it was what I wanted.''Do you want something to drink?'' I tried to smile. I tried.''A coffee?'' I raised my eyebrows incredulously, but I didn't say anything. ''Sugar-free''. she added, and I almost snorted.

    DAVIDA few minutes before...I press the phone to my face as soon as I see the woman in front of Nelly's door, luckily, or unluckily, she also meets my eyes and keeps her hand suspended in the air. Kaciana is quick to straighten her posture and hide her expression of disgust when I approach, but I capture her arm in a tight grip anyway. Snake."What the hell are you doing here?" I growl, acting fast as she tries to say my name seductively. I look at the phone in my free hand and hang up angrily. Not only that, but I'm furious that I omit the person's name when mentioning the encounter, but I should have known by now that your mother had a hand in it."Let me go!" Kaciana screams, trying to hit my face with her long fingernails. I open the door leading to the emergency stairs and push as soon as the elevator opens. When my eyes turn to the woman, I'm sure I can burn her alive!"With pleasure." I let go of her with a sneer, not caring when she trips over her heels and almost lands on he

    NELLY " What happened to her?" David crouches down beside me, checking Alice's pulse, while I keep her head in my lap and try not to freak out. "She fainted, we need to take her to the hospital." I say, urgency and panic lacing my voice, looking at my best friend's pale face and blood staining her clothing. David's fingers touched mine for a few milliseconds before he pulled her weight onto him and lifted her off the ground, yelling for me to follow. I did. My feet followed his steps to the elevator, then out into the garage to his car. When we finally arrive at the hospital, Alice is awake and having a quiet conversation with Eduardo on her cell phone, and although I try hard not to pay attention to the dialogue, the cramped space makes me hear the wrong words and wrinkle my nose. Mainly, because they are cute together. Like, cute and toxic. But who am I to judge? Simple, I can't, at least not when my baby's father, who is also my former teacher and boss, is in the driver's seat

    NELLYLiar.That's all I can think of as I stare at the television screen and watch Brandlyn slowly take off her shirt. At that moment, Madison, the girl obsessed with Brandlyn and sister of the boy's girlfriend, chokes on her popcorn and everyone rushes to help her, it is also at this moment that I jump off the couch and turn off the TV.I don't need to watch the finale to know how it ends.At some point in the next thirty minutes there will be a passage of time, where Madison will undergo an aesthetic change, going from ugly duckling to hot duck and then Brandlyn will finally see her.Boring.Predictable.Our society is lost.I mean, I shouldn't be rooting for one sister to steal the other sister's boyfriend, but these things sell so well that you sin without realizing it. However, the problem is not that it is everything, the point is that the girl had to change physically to attract the gaze of the guy she likes.What kind of motivation is that?"Okay, I guess I need some air."

    NELLY "Nelly, can you hear me?"I open and close my mouth, managing to stop myself before answering. The last time we talked about Kaciana, he got upset, and we got into a fight. This other one is also just as delicate."Can we go another day?""No, I'm coming to your building. I'll take care of you."He hung up the call before I could argue.I sighed.Having him here was a bad idea for many reasons, but the main one is that I'm not ready to pick up where we left off, but my hormones disagree and scream his name every time we meet.The man is engraved in my mind and heart.Very much.And making love would clear my mind for a few minutes, not to mention it's a natural relaxant. Even more so in the protective daddy mode he finds himself in. Seriously, the guy made a relaxing music playlist, so I could listen to it at bedtime and soothe the baby.It's cute, and I don't know how to deal with that version of him.I mean, I was ready to run away and raise my son on my own when I found out a

    DAVID I feel like a fake man, as fake as his mother, as I wipe away his tears and whisper that I'll always be around. So when she asks in a low voice what I've done, I know it's going to be the end of us, because she won't forgive me after listening to me and finding out the truth. I squeeze her shoulder and bring her to me, taking the opportunity to inhale her scent and kiss her head.I don't regret blackmailing Kaciana, for me, she never comes back to our lives.Nelly shivers in my arms."I love you." I whisper against her hair, allow myself to smile as she winces again. Maybe I'll still have a chance, then."David, please.""I'm not lying" I say, as she starts to pull away from my touch.Nelly moves in my arms, putting space between us but staying close enough that I can still see the red spot on his cheeks and neck. I clear my throat, needing a second or ten seconds to decide if this is a good idea, confessing that I was responsible for your mother's departure and risking being wi

    NELLY 5 years later... I don't think I'm an eclectic music person, I mean I can tolerate some styles of music, but hard rock is definitely not one of them. Well, well, maybe I'm just irritated that I woke up and didn't find David in bed. So where is he? The sound of the music tells me he's close, but how close? My legs and feet are hurting, but nothing compares to the constant throbbing in my back, and I need the message he promised. Not to mention the discomfort between my legs, but that part is good. Last night was crazy. I leave the room and go down the hallway in silence, taking the opportunity to stop by the five-year-old twins' room, they both hate following rules and follow their father everywhere. They are a faithful copy of my husband, despite having different personalities. Luca and Xavier are complete matches, which I'm grateful for, because they are extremely similar physically. At first, I had some difficulty identifying who was who. To be honest, my husband was the

    DAVIDWe stayed at the party for an hour, chatting a little with most of the guests, unfortunately, I lost Nelly for a long twenty minutes to Cassandra. The two women were having an excited conversation about motherhood and I didn't want to interrupt, however, when Eduardo appeared with a bouquet of orchids for my wife, I had to intervene.He gave me a single look and snorted.Bastard.Apparently, Alice went into labor the night before and couldn't come to the party. Nelly hugged the idiot and cried a little in her arms, promising that she would soon visit her goddaughter and friend.I pulled my wife back and kept my arm around her waist until it was time to get into the car, which happened right after our dance.She complained about needing to throw the bouquet, and I threw it towards Kiara.Nelly laughed when my friend cursed me.I shrugged and moved on. She will overcome.It takes me thirty minutes to get to the house and the beach, and I watch it with silence and expectation.I fo

    DAVID347.Three hundred and forty-seven people are on my mother's wedding list, but that's the list she created months ago, when even I didn't know where my romance with Nelly was going.This is Hordellis Bragança, the party itself.Anyway, I left the organization of the ceremony to her and Nelly, focusing on the honeymoon. My girl will be almost nine months into our marriage in two days, and I have to think about a possible fluke, like two babies arriving in the middle of the honeymoon. Therefore, I bought a beach house a few meters from the hospital and had it renovated according to its parameters of a perfect house.She wanted to wait to perform the ceremony after the lights went out, but I was so eager to call her my wife that I couldn't wait. After all, what's the point of all the money if I can't plan a wedding in two weeks?Well, I'm starting to think this was a bad idea. My mother kidnapped Nelly and said I would only see her again on her wedding day.''Please? '' I beg for w

    NELLYI open my eyes with a sweet smile on my face, David caresses my belly in a delicate, affectionate and a little possessive way as if he was afraid of hurting me or something, but I realized seconds ago that no, he was contemplating, so mesmerized with the kicking show that our children were putting on that he didn't notice that I was watching him. I never thought I would witness this scene after everything we've experienced, but hearing my babies' father singing a lullaby was the best feeling I've ever felt.The throbbing between my legs also increased at the sexy sight, part of me wanted to reveal that I was awake and request that massage he suggested a few times last night, but I also didn't want to ruin the moment, so I rested my head. I went back on the pillow and continued pretending I was sleeping until I couldn't take it anymore. David began to sing a song about a street, a forest, shining stones, and an angel.My eyes filled with tears.Those damn hormones.'' Do you beli

    DAVIDWhen I left home this morning, I made it my mission to make our first night together after all this time special. Nelly always wanted to know a little more about my dark side and my perverse fantasies, but I was always afraid and controlled myself with her, but with all the events we've experienced I realized that my girl won't judge me or run away.We both need this.The club is operating normally upstairs, but downstairs I reserved it for just the two of us. Nelly never fully experienced my dominating side, she never knew how she is at my command and mercy, but today that will change. I crave her touch and taste more than air, I need to thrust into her without mercy to satisfy the beast inside me and, if I were any other man, I would treat her with affection and softness at this point in her pregnancy, but I don't. I am. We've been apart so long that I can't, I just can't make soft love. I think that's why I allowed him to sleep last night and didn't try anything even though I

    NELLY'' How can you be sure?''He gives me a cocky look and raises his left eyebrow.'' Because I locked it.''I keep my mouth open, looking between him and the door, thinking about when this happened until I remember to close my eyes for a few minutes and black out.'' All good? '' he asks, probably noticing my insecure expression. I lay back on the bed and feel him move. Within a second, David is standing next to me, forcing my face up, so I can look at him.'' Yes, I.. '' I close my eyes and count to five. '' I don't know if we should have sex.He frowns.'' You do not want?''I bite my lip and sigh, remembering that I need to talk to him about Kaciana and ask him to stop looking for her.'' It's not that, I just want you to take it easy.''The corners of his mouth turn up, and he starts twirling a strand of my hair around his ring finger.'' Baby, we're not going to have sex.''I grimace.'' No?''His smile widens.'' You seem disappointed.''I cough, trying to sit up, but carryi

    NELLYI run my hand over his face carefully, touching the recent bruises and marks. When Hordellis called to inform me that David had returned, my mind went blank and I didn't know how to act, I mean, first my mother and then him. It was too much. I only knew I was coming here when I got into the taxi and gave the name of the hospital to the driver.'' What happened? '' I whisper, unable to stop touching him. David Bragança is a handsome man even though he's all dressed up, cut that out, he's breathtaking.'' It doesn't matter. '' he says, his eyes dropping to my cleavage and looking away when he realizes I caught him.He clears his throat and runs his fingers through his hair, taking distance. I try not to show it, but it bothers me and brings back the feeling of loneliness.'' All good? You seem nervous. Oh, I need to call the doctor. '' I say, worried about the lack of color on her lips.''No.''he shouts, grabbing my hand at the last minute. '' I'm just nervous about our date. '' h

    DAVIDI stared at my apathetic form and the scratches on my face angrily, the man's reflection in the mirror wasn't me, at least, it didn't look like me. My face was thinner, my jaw was more visible, and I would need to see a dermatologist about the spots and burns.When I decided to leave Nelly in the middle of her pregnancy, I was sure that I would return in a few weeks and earn her forgiveness. My mistake. Finding Kaciana proved to be a difficult task from the beginning, but after I hired Arthur and the first clue emerged, my spirits were reinvigorated, and we left for South Africa. The woman was following my order to the letter and covering her tracks, until we bumped into someone who knew someone who saw her.Turns out the lead was false, and we fell into a trap, the man who contacted us was part of a local and unfortunate gang, they called themselves the Pirates of Urr. No idea what it meant, but the captain loved to torture, especially those with clothes on. Guys and gold watch

    NELLYMy body was frozen in place and everything felt delayed, from the sinking of his chest with each breath to the narrowing of his eyes.Kaciana walked past me after a long moment of silence and touched my shoulder gently, offering a warm smile that looked wrong on her face. She looked different, but I couldn't identify what it was as I closed the door behind me and followed her to the couch. I watched as she surveyed my living room and turned her nose up at the pictures on the wall. They weren't works of art worth millions, no, I bought them from a lady at the market near the mall the other day. She must have noticed and disapproved.So many questions were being thrown around in my head at this very moment.I stared at her figure for another full minute, hoping and hoping that she would be the first to speak, as I looked and looked for any difference, I was drawn to the golden ring with a small stone on top on her left-hand ring finger. No, she can't... Is she? I looked more close
