The ballroom was incredibly elegant with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, dazzling red carpets, a gleaming stage with massive floral arrangements on either side, and a sea of golden chairs. I had never imagined I could be in a place like this, that I would actually have the opportunity to win the Fotomodel award, a highly coveted accolade among photographers in the country. It was an overwhelmingly pleasant feeling, with butterflies in my stomach. I couldn't tell if it was because I had the most handsome man by my side or due to the anticipation of hearing my name in that beautiful hall.— This is Lisa Miere, a photographer from my agency and winner of the Fotomodel award, — he introduced me to each person. I shook hands with them, feeling very embarrassed, and smiled.Once he had greeted all his partners and friends, we took our seats in the front row, where a spot had already been reserved for us. Sandra and Laura looked at me with anger and envy. He introduced them too, but for most

I heard Thiago's tremulous voice responding — She underwent an operation and couldn't accompany me, but you'll soon see her shine on other red carpets and she'll be able to have a glass of wine with you.— Oh, the woman said in a shocking tone. — Plastic surgery, I suppose, to make herself even more beautiful than she already is.I saw and could feel Thiago's pain, as confessing that his wife had undergone an operation to prevent having children wasn't easy for him. Even though that conversation brought me back to reality and made me forget the beauty that was happening, I couldn't avoid feeling compassion for him.— Yes, he affirmed tersely, lying to avoid saying what was really happening with Esmeralda, and he bid his farewell.I continued walking with him, but I avoided getting too close, as I had become aware of why people were staring at us so much. It was clear that everyone was surprised to see my boss without his wife. However, he lacked self-control and didn't understand the

— Get in quickly, he ordered me with his voice tired from haste, without the desire to tell me what was happening.I got in quickly, looked through the window, but no one was watching us, and we had been harassed enough throughout the night to run now. Thiago started the car and drove rapidly.— We're going to crash! I shouted in desperation. Are you going to tell me what's happening right now? I demanded irritably, as I knew well that I was pregnant, and it annoyed me that he was behaving this way while being unaware of my condition.Once we managed to leave the immense venue, Thiago slowed down the vehicle.— Ungrateful! Realize that you're carrying a pregnant woman on board, and it'll be your fault if I vomit in these luxurious seats! I yelled. Thiago burst into laughter like an idiot, causing my anger to intensify. I glared at him with fury, fully intending to do as I had said, but my conscience stopped me.— Oh, Lisa, you're truly one of a kind, he remarked, still laughing.— Exp

I Do Love You Those four words had ruined everything. Thiago remained inert, looking at me, unsure of how to respond, making it clear that he didn't think the same way, that he only wanted me for a few nights. That only revealed to me that he wasn't feeling the same way I was and that his actions were only demonstrations of kindness or gratitude. He distanced himself from me. I started to gain control over my emotions and calmed down in an instant, realizing that my tears wouldn't solve the uncomfortable moment. — I don't know what to tell you, Thiago finally spoke. — It's not necessary for you to say anything, I responded bluntly. — It's just that... — Hush, I shouldn't have said anything, it's not your fault, I clarified. — Sorry, I can't control my instincts as a man... — Womanizer, I interrupted. Thiago remained silent for a while. He started the car again, and on the way, neither of us spoke. My words had shattered the enchantment I had felt, and I cursed having said it.

I accept, I answered without fully discerning in my decision. — Deal, Eduardo said, shaking hands with Thiago. I could only stand there with my arms crossed, observing them, but deep down, I had a gut feeling that they were hiding something. — What do I have to give in return? I asked to convince myself that they weren't just fooling me. — Your discipline, commitment, and diligence for both companies, Thiago affirmed. — Perfect, you can count on that. If there's nothing else to disagree on, I'll leave, I said, getting up from the table and shaking hands with both of them. I felt Thiago's hand burning, and when our eyes met, something inside me shattered. It hurt so much that immediately, a lump formed in my throat, the same one I had to control to avoid a situation like the previous night. — Wait a moment, Thiago said. We have a pending meeting, remember. I assumed he was lying to make me stay, and I didn't have the courage to refuse his request. — Sorry, I had forgotten due to t

At six in the morning, my alarm went off. I was very sleepy, but it was the last day I had left in the city, and I had to make the most of it. I did everything necessary to get ready, taking two and a half hours. At ten, I left to get the magazine and make sure that nothing bad was happening.— Are you the one in the photo, Lisa? Congratulations — said the young man who was selling at the store, and who already knew my name because I came to buy magazines every day.— It's because I won an award — I clarified to ignore what he was saying, although in reality, I already knew that if I was there, it wasn't because I was a good photographer.— No, it's not just because of the award — he warned as he handed it to me.His words alerted me and left me stunned. We were on the front page of the Enredadera magazine, in the entertainment and gossip section of the other magazines."Thiago Villarreal, CEO of the renowned Siluetas Modeling Agency, pays the national Fotomodel photography award to h

I realized there was no more time left, that the day had slipped away thinking about the trip, and I hadn't even been able to visit my parents. When it dawned, I knew there was no choice but that the time had come for me to leave. There was a knock on the door.— Thiago — I said nervously when I opened it.— Let me in, we can argue later — he pointed, quickly entering the apartment.— What are you doing here? You know very well that all our photos are on social media and in the newspapers. I went to your office, called you, texted you, and you've just ignored me, you sent everything for me to leave, so what are you doing here? — I said angrily as he sat down.— It's not that simple, Lisa — he stammered without looking at me.IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE, LISA Three words that exceeded my tolerance.— Yes, it's not that simple, it's easier to get rid of me, to send me away because you simply don't want to face her, to tell her the truth about what's really going on, what you really feel for he

I arrived at the airport with immense fear.dreading the gazes of people. After waiting in the immense line, the young woman behind the counter kindly announced what was imminent:— All your paperwork is in order, Mrs. Lisa. Your flight will depart in a moment.I felt weaker than ever, my stomach churning with nausea, my nerves in turmoil as I imagined what could happen inside the airplane. My lack of knowledge about pregnancy forced me to ask with a lot of embarrassment:— Is there any issue if I'm pregnant?— How many weeks along are you? — she inquired, and I fell silent.The girl looked at me ironically, as I took a while to calculate, and she might have been surprised because my nervousness showed that I didn't know. She interrupted:— If you're less than 29 weeks pregnant, there's no problem. You can travel without worry. Just choose seats near the wings or in the front; these seats tend to feel less movement from the plane and can help prevent nausea.I thanked her and quickly
