Sarah
After Kael made his promise to prove his love for me through actions, even though I found it ridiculous, my feelings were in complete turmoil. Without even thinking about what I was about to do, I grabbed the nearest object and threw it against the door.
It was my cell phone, and I ended up damaging it, which only increased my agitation. I had never thrown objects around before, let alone with the intent of releasing my frustration.
"What happened?" Maira asked, entering the room.
I glanced at the floor where the phone lay, still intact but probably no longer functioning. She followed my gaze and realized what I had done, picking up the device from the floor. As expected, the screen was cracked in several places.
"I im
KaelThe scheduled time for work appointments went unnoticed because my mind was a tangle of worries. I knew Ryan would have to deal with my absence, but at that moment, I had no capacity to focus on business. I wasn't in a state to think about business, and Ryan would have to handle things without me. After all, the company is also his asset, as he is my brother, and half of the shares belong to our mother.I called Ryan with the intention of explaining my absence and my troubled mind."I already suspected that you wouldn't be able to attend the meeting today," Ryan's voice sounded understanding, as if he were reading my thoughts. "I tried to get in touch with Sarah, now that the diagnosis is confirmed, but she doesn't want to talk to me."The mention of a confirmed diagnosis caught me off guard. Confused, I questioned, "Confirmed diagnosis? What are you talking about?""I managed to briefly talk to Maira on the phone a few minutes ago. She told me about the medical evaluation."The
SarahI feel a profound relief when Kael's hand wraps around mine, as if that simple gesture could push away some of the burden I carry. However, the feeling is bittersweet because I'm hiding a truth that eats away at me from the inside, but it also shows me that we're not as different as I thought."I've made mistakes too, by letting myself be influenced by everything Rachel said."I confess because it's the truth. I look into his eyes, seeking transparency, even though I myself am hiding something important. Kael gazes at me attentively, his eyes filled with emotion, and he makes a proposal that catches me by surprise:"How about we write a new story for us, Sarah?" He asks sincerely, and I can see that his words come from the heart. "I'm just asking for a second chance, to do things differently and prove that I'm telling the truth."My feelings are in turmoil, but Kael's sincere and vulnerable gaze moves me. I look at this strong and determined man, who holds my hand so gently, as
SarahThe trip to Seattle is exhausting, despite the comfort of Kael's private jet. However, upon arriving at the mansion, everything becomes more comfortable and easier. Kael has hired a team of professionals to closely monitor my recovery process.Ryan and I had a long conversation. Despite the difficulties after everything that happened, he is still my brother, and we have a lot in common. With Maira, the connection was immediate, and I became fond of her, as well as of our other brother, even before knowing about our blood ties.Mary is a lovely person, and her presence has been crucial in my adjustment. Sharing the same roof with her strengthens our bond, and her help is valuable in all aspects of my daily life.Rachel, on the other hand, remained absent, not giving news or showing interest in visiting me. I feel like everyone avoids mentioning her name, including Maira, who is known for her kindness and gentleness.Hillary is always calling me, and we talk about various topics.
Kael Coming home and finding Sarah was truly a special moment, something I deeply missed during the months we were apart. I was foolish and arrogant, and I prefer to forget about that time. However, today the situation wasn't as pleasant due to Bianchi's inconvenient presence, who came from London to visit my wife. It bothered me quite a bit, although I knew I had no right to forbid this meeting. I love Sarah deeply, but I'm not her owner. She is free to receive whoever she desires, and it's not up to me to impose rules. Nonetheless, I can't deny that I didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone with Bianchi, and I wonder what they were talking about downstairs. Where are my mom and Maira when I need them the most? They could be keeping this annoying pilot company instead of wandering around. Initially, I thought about waiting for Sarah in her room, but I wanted to avoid putting any pressure on her. So, albeit reluctantly, I headed to my own room. After a long, hot shower, I wrapped
The walk from the bus stop to my house was tiring, even more so after spending an hour and a half in a crowded public transportation vehicle. But it was part of my routine and I could only accept it.I came home longing to sit down and put my feet on something, because they were throbbing in my sneakers. No matter how comfortable the manufacturer insisted it was, there was no possibility of spending almost the whole day on my feet in a pleasant way. "Mom!" I called out, after throwing my purse onto the hard, worn out couch in the living room of the modest house where I had lived with my parents for twenty years. " Mom!” She didn't answer and worry soon took the place of tiredness and I practically ran out of the small house, looking for some sign of Ms. Beth, popularly known as my mother. I could only breathe normally again when I saw that my mother was just sleeping peacefully in her bedroom. She was probably so exhausted from another day of work that she had gone to bed early
Virginia When I entered the Season Hot club with Mariana, nervousness took over my whole body, but I closed my eyes and thought about the money that could change my parents' lives and when I opened them again, I filled myself with self-confidence and went for it. I would do it. Mariana had discovered a secret club, which had a very unusual form of entertainment for those who had a lot of money. The club offered auctions where men could bid on various types of "goods", from a date with the woman of their choice, to a night of sex, or even someone's virginity, which could be from either a woman or a man. Although the practice was something that I could consider very grotesque, all the people who were at the auction had come on their own, just as my friend and I had come, but of course the motivation was money, since the values could reach thousands of reals. I understood that although everyone was there of their own free will, the fact that a man was bidding for sex or, worse,
Murilo I knew myself well enough to know that I was an extremely competitive man, and the truth was that I never entered into something to lose. And that night was no different. When my cousin invited me to accompany him to a club for drinks, I quickly accepted. I had no idea that the club I had been invited to offered very "unusual" services. Aquiles invited me to participate in an auction and I just accepted out of curiosity, since he did not tell me what the auction was about. When there were only a few minutes before the main attraction that was going to take place in that hall was about to begin, since the Season Hot club had other rooms, I saw my main competitor, Ethan Constantino, approaching the table next to ours. We had been business rivals and had become declared enemies when my fiancée left me to be with him, just a few months ago. I still hadn't swallowed that story and it was choking in my throat, that was the truth. So when they announced the beginning of
VirgíniaI removed my dress, wearing only the lingerie I had chosen for this moment, as we were instructed, and the cold made me shiver. I thought about turning off the air conditioning, but when I turned to look for the control, I was facing a huge mirror that showed my whole body. I now felt a shiver of excitement at seeing myself dressed so sexy and remembered the man who had bid me the highest. I couldn't see him clearly, but just looking at him and hearing the way he spoke while bidding brought a new shiver to my almost naked body. I walked over to the side of the bed, analyzing the entire bedroom, which was decorated in shades reminiscent of summer, and the bed sheet itself was a very bright orange color, as were the curtains.I was about to smooth out the bedspread when I felt, rather than heard, the door being opened. I turned my body in that same direction and saw that the winner of the auction had entered the room. "Hi... " He spoke and his tone of voice was clearly indec
