Pietra

The way Anton reacted to the news of my pregnancy was so unexpected, so full of genuine joy, that it left me speechless.

I had imagined so many different scenarios in my mind, but none of them involved him hugging me as if he had just received the greatest gift of his life. Becoming a mother wasn’t something I had planned for now, not at such an uncertain moment, but it was impossible not to be swept up in Anton’s happiness.

He talked nonstop, planning celebrations, imagining how we would tell his family, and even suggesting baby names. While Anton saw this as a dream come true, I couldn’t shake the feeling that, at some point, the ground might disappear from beneath us.

I managed to convince him to wait until Sunday to share the news with his family. He agreed, of course, but his excitement was so overwhelming that I wondered if he’d be able to keep his mouth shut until then.

Meanwhile, my own emotions were a mix of nervousness and anxiety. As much as Anton was thrilled, I cou

  • In the Name of Ambition   The Weight of the Truth

    AntonThe conversation with Aaron was brief, despite Anneliese’s impulsiveness. When I returned to the living room, I found Anneliese and Pietra talking. Anneliese was laughing at something, gesturing animatedly, but what caught my attention was Pietra’s face. Her expression was distant, almost closed off—completely different from the woman I had left there just minutes ago. It was as if something had changed drastically, and my instincts screamed that something was wrong. “Pietra, shall we go?” I asked, trying to hide my concern.She agreed quickly, as if she was eager to get out of there. I knew she must have been worried about her siblings. Even though Andressa was recovering well, Pietra never fully relaxed. She was always vigilant, fearing that something could go wrong, especially with Andressa still recovering and Isaque so small and full of energy.On the way back to her house, I tried to talk, but her responses were short, almost monosyllabic. It wasn’t Pietra’s usual behavi

  • In the Name of Ambition   A Busy Sunday

    AaronRight after breakfast, I decided it was time to get my professional life back in order. The past week had been absolute chaos, my thoughts constantly consumed by the search for Rebecca and the never-ending conflicts I had to deal with. After the argument with Eric at the club, I realized I needed to regain control of myself.Work was the only refuge I had left—something that, no matter how difficult, was still within my control. So, I went straight to my grandfather’s library. The peace of that place always helped me organize my thoughts, and I was determined to dive into the projects and reports I had neglected.But right after lunch, the tranquility was shattered. Without knocking, Paolla walked in, impeccably dressed as always, with that determined look that told me she was here to bring up the same topic yet again.

  • In the Name of Ambition    A Good Friendship

    RebeccaIt was still hard to believe how quickly everything had changed once again. When I accepted Eric’s offer to enroll in art school, it felt like a distant dream coming true. But in less than twenty-four hours, everything was set: enrollment confirmed, a new apartment in Pinheiros, and a move that happened so fast I barely had time to process it. It was almost as if Eric had planned everything before even consulting me.Despite the strangeness of it all, the apartment was comfortable, and the location was perfect for attending school. In a way, classes came as a relief. Every time I sat in front of a canvas or held a paintbrush, I felt immersed in something that made me forget, if only for a few moments, the man who wouldn’t leave my thoughts: Aaron.I was determined to focus on my future and, most importantly, on mainta

  • In the Name of Ambition   Losing Control

    AaronThe week felt like a test of endurance. Rebecca seemed to have vanished from my life. I didn’t know where she was or if she was okay. I tried to stay calm, but the feeling of helplessness was unbearable. With each passing day, my focus and energy were split between the lack of news about her and Paolla’s relentless presence. Even though I had made it clear that things between us were unsalvageable, Paolla insisted on coming to the mansion for family dinners, pretending everything was fine. And out of consideration for my grandparents, I swallowed every word that could turn the atmosphere into chaos. I didn’t want to be the reason for a fight in front of them.But Paolla’s act was testing my patience. Every time I tried to talk, her voice became more insistent, trying to manipulate me into giving in and coming back home. I kept my answer the same, repeat

  • In the Name of Ambition   She’s Going to Leave Me

    AntonI was heading home after a long day at Baumann. The past few weeks at the company have been intense but rewarding. Being involved in management, learning, and making real decisions has changed my perspective on so many things. But no change had been as profound as Pietra. The thought that, for the first time, I was building something meaningful—it was all because of her.As I parked my car in the Baumann estate’s garage, my phone vibrated. I picked it up automatically, expecting a message from Anneliese or a colleague from work. But the name on the screen made my heart race: Pietra. The initial relief of hearing from her quickly turned into a sinking feeling as I read the message."Anton, we need to talk about something very serious

  • In the Name of Ambition   What to Do?

    PietraThe morning began with a gentle breeze flowing through the house, and even though my mind was occupied with a thousand thoughts, I felt excited. Despite all the ups and downs, things finally seemed to be falling into place.I entered Andressa’s room with a smile, determined to start the day with positive energy. Seeing that she was already awake, I went straight to the window to open the curtains and let the sunlight fill the space. “Good morning, sleepyhead,” I teased, turning to her.Andressa responded with a weak "good morning," and my heart immediately tightened. There was something different in her tone, a lack of enthusiasm that worried me.

  • In the Name of Ambition   Unexplainable Resemblance

    AxelWhen Fred walked into the room, I knew she’d be right behind him. My heart raced, and for a moment, I had to mentally prepare myself to finally face the woman who had haunted me since Santorini. It was strange because, even though my memory of that night was hazy, the emotional impact she had on me was painfully clear.But when she stepped through the door and the soft light of the room illuminated her face, I was hit with a shock so strong it nearly took my breath away. The resemblance to Priscila, my ex-wife, was uncanny. For a moment, I was frozen, as if I were seeing a ghost. It didn’t make sense. What was this? How was it possible?I stayed silent, struggling to mask the storm raging inside me. My mind tried to connect the dots, but nothing added up. Fred,

  • In the Name of Ambition   Decisive Moment

    KimberlyMore than a month. A full month since I sent the first email to Axel, which, of course, went unanswered. Then came the messages on social media, the indirect attempts to reach out… but nothing. His fame didn’t make contacting him easy, and yet, a part of me persisted. Maybe it was naivety, maybe a desperate attempt to resolve the situation, but I was following his every move in the media. When they announced his signing with an English team, Kathleen almost exploded with excitement, saying that fate was working in my favor.I hesitated to hold onto any hope, but Kathleen insisted. Through her journalist contacts, she managed to get me into that packed auditorium for the press conference. I wasn’t sure if I’d confront him, but at least I’d see him one more time.The room was full of people, voices, and expectations surrounding him, and the energy was a mix of euphoria and curiosity. I was there, just a few meters away from the father of my child, but deep down, I just wanted t
