"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 dec

    (EPILOGUE - 2)."WHAT?!" I immediately brought my hands to my mouth. Stunned, I watched as the famous Portuguese singer—dressed in his usual relaxed attire, his arms covered in striking tattoos, his hair slightly long and loose—approached with a smile, guitar in hand. He pulled up a chair and settled in. Gregorio reappeared to adjust the microphone levels and place another one in front of the instrument. I looked at Maël. "You did it again." He smiled, a special gleam in his eyes. "You deserve it," he whispered in my ear. He gently cupped the back of my neck and pressed his lips to mine. "Congratulations to the happy couple," the singer said. "I’m thrilled to be here sharing this special moment in your lives. This song is called ‘Tu e Eu,’ at the request of my friend Maël." My eyes widened in disbelief, more astonished than ever, my mouth dry from hanging open. I shook my head, smiling, and grabbed my fiancé’s hand, squeezing it tightly and bringing it to my chest. "S

  • CROOKED: In love with my cousin's boyfriend   CHAPTER 110

    Still inside me, sitting face to face. The hair on his chest, something new and spicy, nothing cumbersome or excessive, told me he was no longer the young man from those years. My fingertips traced patterns between them to the rhythm of our now-calmed breathing. His hands traveled to my hair and my face. He slowly caressed my eyelashes, my lips, and my nose with his fingers and his mouth. We gazed at each other for a long time, pressed close, saying things in silence, happy to be together. What magnificent relief, what indescribable sensation. "Did I already tell you I love you?" I whispered reverently. He smiled at my words without leaving my neck, while my hands roamed the vast valley of his strong, beautiful back. His fingers were anything but idle, tracing familiar paths along my body as if he already knew them by heart. "I love you too." His voice echoed through the corners of our intimacy. Rotation, creamy circles, the haze of love becoming our bed. I felt Maël more ex

    (MAËL 7)."Oh my God, so… that’s where Delu and you…?" "No. What happened with Delu was after that bastard proposed to her." I smiled now, not an ounce of amusement in it. "He never admitted it, but I’m sure that son of a bitch only asked her to marry him to screw up my chances with her." "And because of Belinda, I assume." "Yep." Turns out, between the two of us, I wasn’t the only one who hated. Nikko had his own special affection for me too. What my cousin never knew was that before he gave Delu that ring at a family Christmas dinner, she and I had already kissed. "What?!" "I really never told you that?" "No, never." You only mentioned Delu as an ex who left a mark, but fuck… she’s way more than that. I raised my eyebrows and nodded, leaning back in the chair again. "After that, everything got… everything was…" "When exactly was it?" "What?" "When you and Delu started." Melancholy carves holes in my psyche. "The same day Delu finally left Nikko." A silence

    (MAËL 6)I hated to admit it, but Delu was right: that lack of privacy wasn’t good. Without it, I would’ve enjoyed reading about myself on that Instagram account with a link in the bio leading to a fairly well-known website. But she was featured in that post too—worth noting (and savoring)—standing beside me with her eternal caution, fitting her point together with all its pieces. That girl wasn’t just some obsessed fan, that much was clear. And I’d made several calls to get help investigating her, only to be warned to stay away. She’d fooled us with that youthful schoolgirl complexion. Later, I was told she’d left the hotel. No, she wasn’t stupid. “But where did that woman come from?” I asked Joao over the phone. Hearing him sigh put me on edge. “You’re gonna be pissed, but don’t make a scene.” “What is it?” “Apparently, that girl used to date your cousin. Nikko.” I went silent. “You’re kidding me.” She was reappearing like Delu, but to me, Nikko was already a ghost. “

    I arrived at the apartment. Dhumas lifted his face from the laptop, saw my expression, and immediately realized something bad had happened to me. But instead of saying anything, he kept staring at his computer. The thousand breaths I took to calm myself after that encounter—and after the conversation with Sandra—weren’t enough. Not even the kilo of makeup I’d caked on to hide the redness sufficed. I dropped my bag on the small table by the door and strolled to the living room, bathing in the warmth of the heater and the smell of freshly cooked food. My husband was sitting in the middle of the three-seater sofa, leaning forward, strands of his black hair falling over his forehead, serious. He didn’t look away from the screen, not even when I stood right in front of him. It was already late afternoon, almost evening. I’d wandered aimlessly before coming here. The call with Sandra had been long, and that had eaten up the hours too. I sat beside him, and when I saw what was on his

    We sat back down, and Maël asked for more water before placing the glass in front of me. "Drink. You need it," he said seriously, then burst into laughter. "Stop joking around, Maël. Just wait until everyone’s chasing you, and you can’t even step outside your own house." He kept laughing. "Don’t exaggerate, this was pure coincidence. You have your own fans, and it’s not like they harass you, right?" He couldn’t stop laughing but then calmed down. "By the way, speaking of other things, I haven’t forgotten that thanks to you, I no longer have a house. You screwed up my purchase, Delu Vaz. I think the real estate agent was traumatized." I tried not to laugh. "We had that house locked down for a while, and then you swooped in and took it from us." "Me?!" "Yes, you!" I finally let out a laugh. "But let’s not dwell on the house issue, or we’ll end up arguing again." I pretended to brush lint off my clothes. "That’s exactly what I was telling you earlier." I subtly gestured t

    I pressed myself into a corner, trembling with terror, my breathing ragged. My tears now flowed freely. He grabbed my face, and I shuddered. He squeezed my cheeks, pulling me close, and I noticed something horrifying: this man didn’t smell of alcohol—only cologne. His breath was clean, hot. The rea

    Nikko took a step forward, and I took a sharp step back. I didn’t let go of the door handle. "Let me in." His voice… it sounded like someone else, completely different from the one that had just spoken to me on the phone minutes ago, assuring me he was miles away. I looked at his arms. He held

    Nikko dragged his hands through his hair, wiped the abundant traces of blood from his mouth, and struggled to his feet, trying to hide how much pain he was in and how dizzy Maël had left him. "WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!" None of us answered the concierge, nor did we bother to watch him arrive or ente

    Dad and Mom still hadn’t gotten out of bed, assuming that since it was Saturday and such a special date, they’d sleep in a little longer. I left a couple of large boxes containing colorful garlands for the Christmas tree on the living room coffee table and walked to the backyard to greet the dog.
