Pietra

I spent the entire weekend with Andressa at the hospital, observing every small improvement and feeling a growing sense of relief. Anton, always surprising, made video calls so that Andressa and I could see Isaque. Every time I saw my brother’s carefree smile, I knew he was in good hands, and it gave me a peace of mind I didn’t expect. Anton kept surprising me in the best ways.

Andressa, always sharp and cheerful, brought up Anton. She had been watching everything closely and said with a smile:

“He really seems to be in love with you, Pietra. Why don’t you give him a chance?”

  • 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. One of th

  • In the Name of Ambition   Reliving the Past

    KimberlyIt was still early, but I had been awake for hours. My head felt heavy as if carrying the weight of a whole lifetime of unexplained things, and maybe that was exactly it. I sat on the balcony of Axel’s guest room, hugging my legs and staring into nothingness, trying to find some meaning in what the universe had done to my life… again.When I heard the sound of the door opening, I didn’t need to turn around. I knew it was Kathleen. She always had that quiet way of coming in, as if she knew I was overthinking everything. And she knew I didn’t want to talk, but I needed to. Kathleen came in holding a cup of tea. She knew I didn’t want to talk, but I needed to.

  • In the Name of Ambition   She’s Different…

    AxelI must have walked ten kilometers around that living room. I was pacing in circles like a caged animal. The entire house felt too small to contain the storm growing inside me. My footsteps echoed in the silence, and even with clenched fists and tense muscles, I knew nothing I did would ease the weight in my chest. The clock on the wall ticked each second like torture. Fred had advised me to wait, to let Kim come home from work on her own. “She’s going to need space after what you’re about to tell her,” he’d said.

  • In the Name of Ambition   He’s Different…

    KimberlyMonday morning came in cloudy, and oddly enough, it mirrored exactly how I felt inside. On the way to work, arms crossed and eyes lost outside the car window, I felt restless. Axel and I had woken up late after an intense weekend, and he had to rush off to deal with a club commitment. He said it was something important, related to the buzz around the European championship game from the day before. But that wasn’t what was bothering me. Since the night of the nightmare, something about Axel felt… different. Like a thought was eating away at him from the inside. He spoke to me, touched me, looked at me like I was everything he wanted—and yet, there was a shadow in his eyes. Subtle, but there. It was as if he were carrying a weight he didn’t want to share.
