RICARDO'S POV
The 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

MANUELA'S POVWhen I entered the house, my heart was broken into a thousand pieces. Why can't you be happy without going through a gale and ruining everything? I had lived the most special and important night of my life. I saved myself all these years so that my first time would be with the great love of my life. 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. I had an important meeting. Some shareholders had come from their cities just for that meeting. I couldn't cancel. We needed to approve decisions that were vital for the

ALICE'S POVIt wasn't easy to see the abandonment in Ric's eyes. I knew the situation was more serious than Lucas tried to convey. I knew my brother well enough to know that look was hopeless, but I couldn't let Andrew see that his sister was between life and death. Over the past few weeks we've been involved in a way I didn't believe possible. Andrew was my friend since childhood. Together with Manu and Ricardo we lived the happiest moments that any child could wish for. And when my brother left for Canada, they were the ones who held back the homesickness I felt.I had never felt anything for Andrew until weeks ago when he kissed me and told me he loved me. I thought he was an incorrigible womanizer. Since he started his career as a football player, he has only seen him surrounded by women on social media. He always joked with Manu, telling her to get ready, because she would get the news that she would be an aunt

ANDREW'S POVThat was the most painful and happiest day of my life. How to deal with two such conflicting feelings. Seeing Ricardo kissing his sister's belly sent an ominous shiver down my spine. Was it true what was going through my head? When he nodded, I bit my lip trying to hide my smile. It was so wrong to be happy in the face of his pain. But I couldn't hold my eyes like I held my mouth. They denounced all the magic that had arisen in the face of that revelation. I am a father! I felt a strange surge of pleasure as I mentalized those words.Alice was before me and I couldn't stop worshiping her. My child's mother. During the consultation that Ricardo managed to fit us in, the doctor asked for a blood test to confirm. We wait for the result to come out and our joy was confirmed. The doctor assured that everything was going well and that she would accompany her throughout the pregnancy. He prescribed a battery of tests, medications, and vitamins that

RICARDO' POVWhen I got to the hospital, Barone asked me why I hadn't gone home. He said he couldn't rest easy knowing that Manu was in that cold room, alone.—You need to rest, Ricardo. The next few days will be decisive. It's no use you staying here wearing yourself out. She's going to need you, and she needs to be healthy.—I lost hope, Lucas. We know she's not going to get out of this.— I threw myself into the chair and buried my head in my hands, rubbing my hair.—What I do know is that as long as there is life, there is hope. You have to believe it.— He laid a hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me.—I'm afraid to get my hopes up.—I understand you, friend. Go home, eat, rest. Tomorrow you come back stronger to face the challenges ahead. I'm on duty today. Tomorrow, after you arrive, I'll let you know how the night went. Okay?—Fine, but I

ANDREW'S POVIt was another night where I couldn't sleep. Alice got sick every five minutes. It had been three weeks since we discovered the pregnancy. My little one alternated between moments of tranquility and moments of pure anger. Her hormones were driving me crazy. Vomiting, crying, excessive sleep, not to mention she wouldn't let me touch her anymore. I knew it would be complicated, but I didn't imagine it would be this hard. I had been living with her ever since, her frailty manifesting itself every time I said I was going home. She did that cute little pout and clung to my neck asking me not to leave them alone. Alice was sure she was expecting a girl and I believed her. My soccer player was on her way.—Love, are you ready yet?— We're going to be late for the exam,— I warned, glancing at the clock insistently. It would be the first time we would see our little princess on ultrasound.—Stop
