I walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me before stepping under the strong stream of water. I hoped to wash away the madness of what I had just done.

Rebecca was a temptation I didn’t feel strong enough to resist. Every touch, every moment with her, pulled me deeper under her spell—and that was dangerous.

I needed to recharge, in every sense, before stepping back into the battlefield. Paolla and Eric had been right: one time wasn’t enough to achieve my objective. What they didn’t realize, however, was that one time also wasn’t enough for me—but in a completely different way.

Lost in thought, I scrubbed my body harder than necessary. Facing away from the bathroom door, enclosed in the glass shower, I felt the unmistakable sensation of som

  • 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

  • In the Name of Ambition   Running Away

    AntonWe had barely pulled apart from the kiss when the front door burst open with a bang, slamming against the wall as if a hurricane in high heels had kicked it in."Surprise!" Anneliese announced, her voice booming through the house like elegant thunder.She swept into the hallway like a Chanel-scented storm, impeccably dressed in an outrageously expensive jumpsuit, her heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor."We’re here to save the wedding!"Behind her, Andressa appeared, arms loaded with shopping bags from decor stores and bridal magazines spilling in every direction. Her eyes sparkled with dangerous excitement."We brought ideas!" she exclaimed, as if carrying magic

  • In the Name of Ambition   Sharing the Responsibility

    PietraI came home exhausted. The day had been especially rough at the diner, and to top it off, Isaque was even chattier than usual on the walk from school. I tried not to show my impatience. He was just excited. But my shoulders were stiff, my back ached as if I’d carried the world for hours, and a dull, throbbing headache warned me that if I didn’t rest soon, a full-blown migraine would be joining me for the evening.As soon as I pushed open the kitchen door, I froze in the doorway, staring at the scene before me.The table was buried under an avalanche of things. Fabric samples, decoration catalogs, scribbled lists, wedding invitation prototypes... all stacked in piles that seemed to multiply my exhaustion just by looking at them.I let out a deep sigh.
