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   Epilogue (extra)

    AxelThe garden of the Baumann estate had never felt so alive. The sound of children’s laughter echoed like the perfect soundtrack to that moment.Little Caio, two years old, toddled clumsily through the grass beside Davi, his cousin and the son of Pietra and Anton. Their chubby feet nearly tripped with every step as they clutched the balloons Rebecca had given them. Aaron, usually so serious, was kneeling on the ground, making silly faces for the boys, while his son, Miguel, rested peacefully in his mother’s arms.“Look at him,” Berenice said with a smile, adjusting her sunhat as she watched Caio. “He’s got your stubbornness, Axel.”“And Kimberly’s smile,” Leonel added proudly, as if his great-grandchildren were the family’s g

  • In the Name of Ambition   Epilogue

    AntonWe were married in a simple garden ceremony at the family’s country house. The soft music playing in the background seemed to match the rhythm of our hearts. Isaque walked down the aisle with the rings, dressed in a tiny blue suit and wearing a proud little grin. And when Pietra appeared among the flowers, in a flowing dress with tears in her eyes, I knew this was the beginning of something eternal.It was a Saturday, and as if the universe itself was signaling that peace had finally settled in, everything felt perfectly in harmony. Being in our new home, watching TV with Pietra napping in my lap, it was priceless.There was something special about this place. Maybe because we’d chosen it together, a backyard where Isaque could run, a porch wher

  • In the Name of Ambition   A New Beginning

    AxelSilvana’s words were far too harsh, and Kimberly looked away. And in that moment, I saw the pain etched across her face. The pain of someone who has just been told she was abandoned. That she was forgotten, by choice. That she was treated like a mistake.That was the last straw. I stepped forward and wrapped her hand in mine. “We didn’t come here to ask for anything,” I growled. “We came because Kimberly deserves the truth.”At that moment, Kimberly stepped forward and looked at Silvana with a mixture of pity and disdain that made even me shudder.“You had two daughters,” she said slowly, as if speaking to a child. “One you ruined, turned into a petty

  • In the Name of Ambition   Secrets at the Table

    KimberlyThe heavy silence was broken by the loud clinking of Anton’s fork hitting his plate. “Silvana? Priscila’s mother?” “Kimberly and Priscila… my ex-wife… they share a family connection…”Shock rippled across the table. Rebecca and Pietra exchanged worried glances. Aaron frowned, clearly calculating the implications. But it was Anneliese who broke the heavy silence.“Let me guess.” She threw a sharp look at Ettore. “This is yet another discovery from our dear private investigator, isn’t it?”A dense silence fell over the table.

  • In the Name of Ambition   The Baumann Family

    KimberlyThe view of São Paulo left me speechless. Even from above, and later from the car taking us from the private airstrip to the upscale neighborhood where the Baumann mansion was located, I could feel the city’s fast pace and pulsing heat. It wasn’t just the tropical weather; it was the heat of a new reality unfolding before me. And honestly? I was terrified. Beside me, Kathleen looked around with curiosity, not even trying to hide her excitement about being in a new country. Axel, on the other hand, seemed tense, and yet there was a calmness about him that silently said: “I’m here. Everything’s going to be fine.” I wanted to believe that. More than anything.

  • In the Name of Ambition   Turbulence

    AxelThe soft hum of the jet engines was like a constant buzzing in my head, but what made me restless was the silence between us. Still, my attention was completely fixed on the woman sitting beside me. Kimberly had her forehead pressed against the window, her eyes staring blankly outside as if the answers she so desperately sought were written in the clouds. Since we boarded, she had barely spoken three sentences straight to me. This was the most important trip of my life and, at the same time, the most tense. I should’ve felt relief. We were finally heading to Brazil to begin what could be the end of this foggy chapter. But the distance between us, despite sitting side by
