CROOKED: In love with my cousin's boyfriend CHAPTER 72
I got up, went out, and carefully closed the door behind me, then stood there staring at the other white wooden door—the one to the next room. I closed my eyes, thinking about what I was about to face, about what I’d have to say to my brother, convinced I couldn’t fully predict his reaction to this madness I’d gotten myself into. Danilo was so unpredictable… The sound of the door behind me startled me, and out came Maël, pulling on his pajama pants. There he was—disheveled, shirtless, and drowsy—and I felt the butterflies in my stomach migrate to explore other parts of my body. “Hasn’t he gotten up yet?” I shook my head. “Well, it’s still early. I’m going to shower and get some training in. Let him sleep. When I’m done, I’ll make coffee.” “I can make it if you want. Are you going out today?” “Yeah, I have to prepare for an exhibition.” I smiled and almost suggested that he and his study group could work here, but then I remembered everything that would mean (Danilo flashed i
CROOKED: In love with my cousin's boyfriend CHAPTER 71
On the way back, I got a call from Rosa, my brother’s classmate, asking for my help to pick Danilo up from her house.When I arrived, I found a family annoyed by the spectacle my younger brother had just made—showing up out of nowhere in the middle of the night at his friend’s house, completely drunk and shouting incoherently. Though not all of it was nonsense: I soon figured out where this had come from.I apologized to the girl’s parents and even her little sister, a child no older than five. Then, the med student helped me load Danilo into the back seat of my car, and I drove off. I thought hard about taking him home, but I didn’t want to worry my parents, much less face their questions about why I’d returned from Viana—and definitely not with their other son in this state. I also refused to pay for a hotel; I wouldn’t fall back into that habit. So I had no choice but to take him to the apartment I shared with Maël. Now, the two of us stood in the doorway of the guest room, wat

I turned my phone screen on and off repeatedly as I watched the night pass by through the apartment’s large window. With the blinds fully open, leaving the glass exposed in all its splendor, my left leg dangled from the kitchen counter, moving to the rhythm of my restless hand, while my chin pressed against my right knee twisted my lips into a grimace. It was 4:21 in the morning. I looked at the screen again. There, a text from Maël. Maël: "What did Nikko tell you?" It wasn’t his only message. I read many and saw his countless missed calls. He wrote saying he’d hit the road in the dead of night toward Braga and would come straight to me, wherever I was. He called again, and I decided it was time to answer. "Delu, where—?" "I’m at the apartment." I hung up. I wasn’t just waiting for him to end everything once and for all. Yes, I wanted to break up with him, to crush him with my rage. But I also had to tell him something I wasn’t sure how he’d take. A while later, he cr

"Cata, are we leaving?" I interrupted the long conversation she was having with Nikko in the parking lot. "Yes, of course," she said amiably. She exchanged a glance with her cousin before we headed to my car. "Hey, girls!" Pina, Harry’s wife, came running toward us. "Can I ride with you, please?" "Sure, hop in," I said. She did, and we drove off. As I changed out of my wet clothes in Catalina’s bedroom, the conversation turned to Pina and Harry. I was stunned by what they told me. Apparently, their marriage was strained—something I’d completely missed. They called me blind for not noticing the distance between them, how Pina suffered from her husband’s cold, suspicious behavior. What other secrets were the Saravia women hiding? It hit me hard—how had I missed something happening right under my nose? Sitting on the edge of Cata’s bed, barefoot and in my underwear, my hair as tangled as my emotions, I took Pina’s hand for a moment and looked at her. I wanted to be her friend

"How much do we owe you?" Maël asked. The vet glanced at him, and for a moment, I noticed a faint blush on her cheeks. There it was—the "Maël Effect" wreaking havoc on yet another woman. "Nothing," she replied. "The truth is, she deserves an award for... for saving him." Maël smiled and turned to me, his gaze locking onto mine with an intensity I hadn’t seen before. Back in the reception area, Beatriz suggested we take the dog, insisting he likely had no owner. "We'll keep him," I declared. "When can we take him?" "Uh—" Maël cut in. "Excuse us for a moment, Beatriz." He gently pulled me aside. His hands settled on my shoulders, forcing me to meet his eyes. "Delu.""I'm keeping him." "And where exactly are you putting him?" My breath hitched. "In the apartment?" I suggested, feigning innocence. "No." "I can talk to the concierge. There’s always a solution." "No." "Why not?" "Delu, dogs aren’t allowed in those apartments." "You don’t know the neighbors, d

I borrowed my mother's car to drive to Castelo. I left at 18:00 hours on Sunday to arrive with plenty of time. I hated driving that road at night, which is why I left early.I managed to book a hotel near the Saravia estate. I had no intention of staying at any of my ex's family homes.I wore a red dress that fell just above the knees with short sleeves, paired with my leather jacket from the Mafalaia concert. I turned on some music, hoping to relax and push aside the conversation I'd had with my mother. I stopped at a wine shop to buy a bottle as a gift. Just as I was about to pay, my phone rang—Maël."Hey, baby.""Little girl, why didn't you come with me? We could've split up once we got there—""Next! I'm already on the road.""Oh.""Well, not exactly.""Where are you? Should I come get you?""No, don't worry. I'm using Mom's car.""Alright, baby, no helping it now. I'll hit the road too. Sounds like it's going to be a big celebration with a full sound system and everything. I shou
