MANUELA'S POV
I woke up trying to figure out if what had happened during the night had been a dream or reality. I remembered some flashes, but my mind was very confused.
— Is Dr. Ricardo in? I asked the nurse who brought my breakfast.
— He left this morning after Miss Alice arrived. She was here until now, but she went to get a coffee.
—Did he say anything about my discharge?
—No. But the doctor on duty will be dropping by shortly to talk to you.
—Thank God you woke up! — Alice came in with Andrew — I went to get your brother downstairs.
—How are you, little sister? Who is this guy? Andrew ran his finger over the painful part of my face. It must have been pretty ugly, because he clenched his jaw when I dodged.
—It wasn't anyone important, so I never introduced myself. Alice knew because he went to college a few times — I justifie

RICARDO'S POVIt was getting harder and harder to control myself around Manuela. I didn't want to admit it, but I was completely in love with her. How can your life change like this in such a short time? Manu loved me and that gave me so much pleasure, but the fear didn't leave me. I was very confused and the closer I was to her, the more undecided I would be about how to treat her. I had so many questions, but none of them I had the right to ask. Manu wasn't my girlfriend and I couldn't go around asking about her intimacy with that bastard. But the fear that he had hurt her, in addition to what she had said, made me uneasy until the moment we arrived at the police station. She remained silent the entire ride and avoided looking me in the eye. I knew I was hurt, and that's exactly what I didn't want to happen.After passing the exam at the IML, we went to the police station where she gave a new statement. Dr. Almeida accompanied

MANUELA'S POVWhen we entered the condominium I had no idea that Ric had a property in Rio, just his. He said he had bought it the last time he was here, when he realized that he would soon have to move to Brazil for good. His father already had a complicated picture of cancer and Ric began to plan his return.—I love my parents' house, but I'm used to living alone and having my privacy. That's why I decided to buy this house — he said as we pulled into the property's parking lot.It was a two-story house in Joá and was located inside a closed condominium. When Ric parked the car, I threw myself on top of him. I sat on his lap and kissed him. I've been dying to do this ever since I saw him at the airport. Since he returned to Brazil, my hormones have been on high alert. I was crazy about that man and now he was mine.—Manu, we need to talk.— He tried to speak as I kissed his neck. His

RICARDO'S POVMy heart was at peace, feeling Manu clinging to my waist. I never thought that coming to Brazil would have another meaning. I was madly in love with her. Every gesture she made enchanted me. The moments we spent inside the car were incredible. I was enjoying this game of taking it slow. My relationships have always been so fast. I went out with someone and the same night I was having sex. There was no conquest, romance, discovery. It was all very superficial. With Manu it was different. I had to go slow, I didn't want to scare her. She was a virgin, had no sexual experience other than making out with boyfriends as inexperienced as she was. It reminded me of a sensitive subject I needed to discuss with her. Mark. I wanted to know how far they had gone to understand why so much obsession with Manu.—Love, I need to ask you something.— I started the conversation as soon as we got in the car. Alice had alrea

RICARDO'S POVThe week went smoothly. Before going to the hospital, he would drop Alice off at the college and the driver would come later to pick her up. Manu stayed at home for a few days, until she was fully recovered. I visited her room a few times during the night. Our makeout was getting more and more intense, but whenever we tried to go any further, we were interrupted by Alice, who was making a tight mark, as if she was guessing what was going on.After a month sleeping in the mansion, Manu said she wanted to go back to her father's house. It broke my heart and I asked if she wasn't happy with me.—It's not that, but I can't leave my father being taken care of by Andrew for life. If I know them well, they must be eating hamburgers and pizza every day.—Manu, that man hasn't been arrested yet. He could be out there watching you, waiting for an opening. Please don't leave,— I begged, pulling

MANUELA'S POVWhen Ric turned me onto my back and pulled my hips down, leaving me on all fours on the bed, I had no idea that position would drive me crazy. It had already been mind―blowing to feel him on my body, and when he entered me for the first time, I felt a very nagging pain. But when he started saying those dirty things in my ear, my body lubricated in such a way that the pain completely disappeared. Not even in my best stories did I imagine I could feel so much pleasure.Now, in that fully exposed position, and being licked by him like that, I was able to do anything he asked of me. So I promised I'd let him read my books. And as a prize, I won the hard and hot cock of my love entering me with desire. He thrust hard and moaned my name, making me gasp. His hands on my waist and sliding down my ass, pulled me hard against him. There was no way to avoid the hurricane he caused inside me. The feeling of seeing Ric enjoying

RICARDO'S POVI knew my sister well enough to know that she was waiting for me to come out of Manu's room. That girl was smart as hell and I'm already out of the bathroom thinking about what I was going to say to her. And that's exactly what happened. She was waiting for me, arms crossed, outside the room, leaning against the wall and with her head lolling to the side.― Really?— Sorry, little sister! I was going to tell you. I actually need your help for one thing.—I don't want you to hurt her. She really loves you.— She clapped me on the shoulder.— I know. And I want to make her happy. I can count on you? I tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and winked at her.― What's the plan? She turned her face to the side, feigning disdain.—Come on, I'll tell you on the way.— We'll drop you off at home and I'll take you to see a place.— He pulls my sis

I loved Ric with all my heart and I always hoped that one day he would love me too.When we first kissed in the hospital bed, I thought I was delusional. I thought it had all been a dream, after all I was very drugged with so many drugs. But the second time, on the beach, I thought I was going to faint from happiness. I was so accomplished that I had already made all the plans in my head. I really wanted to marry Ric, but I didn't know if he was on the same wavelength as me. That's why I went to talk to Dr. Marcondes. I told him how much I loved his son. We talked for hours and when I told him I had taken a course in rei

RICARDO'S POVBefore entering the meeting room, I called security. My sister tried to calm me down by saying that Manu would understand everything, but I was hating myself for not having noticed her reaction in the car.— Oliveira, give Miss Manoela the cell phone. I need to talk to her. Is urgent! ― I said walking from one side to the other.—I'll go over there and explain everything to her. I'll call you when I get here.— Alice was already at the door when I called out:—Alice, it's no use. She left with the car.— And the security?—He's trying to catch up with her, but he seems to have lost sight of her. I rubbed my eyes insistently, trying to get some sort of control over my mind.
