I can feel Thomas's eyes burning into me all night. Everywhere I look, he's there. But he doesn't come close and lets me have fun with my course friends, dancing, drinking, screaming until I'm hoarse. My heart warms for this. Kelly is already more there than here, and I've been trying to get away from Josh for a few hours, who also drank more than he should and insists on coming after me.And the party is not far from over.The graduation ceremony took place a few hours ago. After the diploma delivery, all the parents went to do something else and the party is just for the graduates. So people are really losing track and celebrating with everything they have.When the music changes to slow music, I start looking around for Thomas. Before I can, Josh finds me and tries to pull me into a dance.“No, I don't,” I say, smiling to try to be polite, but he insists and pulls me away. I let out a soft “ouch” because the grip on my arm hurts and he holds me tight against his chest.“Just a danc

thomasI go back to the party to look for Cecilia, but I can't find her anywhere. I look around, searching the crowd of drunken, out-of-control students. All I see is Kelly, the friend she's always glued to. I dodge people and get close to her. I stand in front of the girl, who stops dancing and looks at me with surprise at my appearance in front of her.— Have you seen Cecilia?— I saw her leaving with a man, I think it was one of her security guards — he says and points with his thumb to the exit behind her.“The security guards aren't here today,” I say, and the girl tilts her head to the side, not understanding.I say thank you and get about thirty minutes for her. Anything. I start to get worried, with a really bad feeling in my chest. I leave there and call all the security guards who normally take care of Cecília, asking them to try to find her even if they are off duty. Then I call Caesar. It takes the man to notice me.“ Thomas? says with a sigh."Is Cecilia with you?" I ask

— Nothing will happen to her — I repeat to calm myself down, but I'm not sure of anything if I don't even know where Cecilia is. "I won't let anything happen to her."I walk back to the room to think for myself, but the two of them follow me without asking permission. I call security when I arrive and none of them have found anything on her.“Keep looking. You only sleep tonight when I find Cecília, understood? Find her! — I send an audio and forward it to all of them in the messaging app.- My girl... - Paula whimpers and sits in the chair in the corner of the room. "Where could my girl have gone?" What did you say to her? What did you do for her?"I already told you I didn't fucking do anything!" I grab a pitcher off the bedside table and hit the wall hard, in the opposite direction from Paula. - What the hell! I did nothing!- I don't believe! She must have been hurt. Cecilia is sweet, sensitive and easily hurt. You're a brute who doesn't deserve her. Paula gets up and faces me. “I

thomasWhen César and I arrive at the place indicated in the message, I see that it is a dark and isolated house. I signal for him to stay outside on the side. I wait a few minutes for the security guards to arrive because I'm not stupid enough to walk into an unknown place without knowing who and where I'm messing with. As soon as the men show up, I know I need to act fast, before the police. I don't trust anyone to keep Cecilia safe, not after this one.They stay hidden, guns in hand, as I make my way to the front of the house. I barely knock and a gray-haired man opens it. He breaks into a huge smile when he sees me and gestures for me to come in, as if I were a guest there.I observe everything carefully and look for more men, with guns and hoods over their faces like the movies we see, but there is only the man there.“She's not here, Thomas. Where is the money? You have nothing.“You think I'm stupid walking around with that amount of dollars. What did you want? That I arrived w

After two hours, we were finally released after a detailed interrogation. I'm glad the bastard didn't die, because that would just be a thorn in my side. I'm also not going to be indicted for assault because even in a country like this there is a certain… ease of escaping certain situations when you have money. They claimed self-defense and released me.Cecilia already went home before I did, because she was tired and had been through too much trauma for the day. I leave there and find César outside the police station waiting for me.He approaches slowly, his hands in his pockets.- Thanks. I will never be able to thank you. I don't know what would become of me without her.- All good. The important thing is that Cecília gets well - I say and sigh. I'm still feeling an insane amount of adrenaline and rage just at the thought of losing that girl. - Take care of her.I wave and start to walk away, but Cesar calls after me."What made you trust her?" he asks and I frown, not understandin

CecíliaI never thought I would go through something like this. My life plan was to graduate, start working with Dad, marry a man who loves me more than anything in life, and have lots of kids with him. Being kidnapped was definitely not on the list.I confess that I was afraid of Thomas not showing up. While I was sure he would do anything to find me, a little piece of my heart was afraid he wouldn't show up.But when Thomas said he loves me, all those fears were put to rest. He loves me! My God, what a mess everything has become over the last few months. And I can't believe it's almost over. College is over and we're going back to Brazil soon. My things are already packed and Thomas is sorting out some company errands, so I take the opportunity to say goodbye to Kelly."I can't believe this is the last time you shopped with me!" She complains and pouts. I laugh and sit down in the restaurant chair she dragged me to after entering each of the stores in the mall. She has more bags tha

I'm still a little groggy because of the time difference since we got back to São Paulo. It's only been a few days and I'm still not used to it. I've been sleeping more than usual and I've been feeling tired lately, so I really hope it gets better soon because I have to work.I was nervous on my first day, but now I've got the hang of it and I'm loving every second of it. Thomas wasted no time diving right into work as soon as we got here. He's really determined to get this place back on track after everything Dad's done, and he's doing it, because the work pile just keeps getting bigger. Everyone who works in accounting is swamped up to their necks with all the contracts and purchases and whatever else Thomas has been sending over the last few days.— Cecilia?One of the men who works here knocks on my office door and walks in holding a folder. I smile and he hands me the folder.“Here are those reports you asked for. Everything is ready, you just need to sign here.- Thanks.I look

Cecília"Be careful not to fall."Thomas has both hands over my eyes and is leading me somewhere in the dark. I almost trip over something, but he catches me.As soon as we got off work he started directing me somewhere and didn't tell me where. I have no idea where we are when Thomas stops me in my tracks.- I'm going to take my hands off your eyes now - he speaks in my ear and shivers all over with his thick voice so close to my skin.“Okay,” I whisper. I blink a few times to get used to the lighting when he lets me look and I frown, not understanding where we are.I look at the house in front of us, as big as the house I grew up in. There's a big yard all around, and Thomas takes my hand and starts leading me through it.“Where are we?” I ask, looking around as he practically drags me across the room.The house is beautiful from the outside, and the garden is even more beautiful. I see a large swimming pool at the back, beautifully manicured flowers scattered everywhere, and I let

thomasI look at the clock from time to time to see if I can go to the altar now. I still can't believe I'm getting married, and to a woman I still love. I always pictured myself walking down the aisle with some rich, high-society woman in a purely show marriage to keep up appearances. Rich marries rich, as they say. And they are not wrong. Now being here, nervous and anxious to see Cecilia dressed in a wedding dress was not in my plans.I arrange my blue tie in front of the mirror, arranging what I have nothing else to arrange. I hear a light knock on the door of the room where I am. - In between.'Mr Thomas, I have a problem. His fiancée is nervous and even threatened to give up on the wedding — one of the ceremonialists speaks after putting her head in the door.- What? Why? Where is she?The woman guides me with an expression of regret and I accompany her through the halls of the castle. Oh yes, my wedding couldn't be anything less than grand. Cecília tried to convince me that we

EPILOGUECecíliaFIVE YEARS LATERI haven't been here for many years. Since I finished college and went to Brazil with Thomas, I haven't been back to New York. And it's been that long since I've seen Kelly, even though we talk almost every day, so I don't even try to hold back the tears when she hugs me.Time passed for her too. Kelly is now a newlywed woman and the belly is huge with the pregnancy already hitting six months. Thomas and her husband disappeared as soon as we got to their house and I bet they're discussing business. In the end, Kelly ended up marrying her college sweetheart after fighting with her father about not having an arranged marriage."I can't believe you're having a baby!" - I say and stroke her big belly. My friend gives me a huge, goofy smile.— I'm so happy, Cecilia — she says and rubs her belly too. - It's your fault.- My? I ask with raised eyebrows. She nods.— You kept honking that prince charming thing in my ear, and you married a man who treats you lik
