My only boss Chapter 1
I was so in love with Thiago — with his way of walking and talking; his sweet and gentle voice. He was an elegant, polite gentleman, the man any woman dreams of having. Unexpectedly, I had met him while doing a photoshoot for one of my friends who works at his modeling agency. There, I learned that despite his arrogance, he would give work to anyone in need. It was only for that reason that he had taken pity on me. And even though I wasn't a professional photographer, he hired me whenever an opportunity arose. I fell in love with his green eyes that sometimes looked at me with desire and sadness — a gaze that haunted me every night when I thought about my humble and hardworking situation and his life as a millionaire businessman; two worlds so unequal.I, on the other hand, was a simple twenty-four-year-old woman with a desire to find a man to share my chaotic and unstable life. I had just finished my degree in Business Administration, but the only thing that truly interested me was p
My only boss Chapter 2
I didn't have the strength to do anything. I just managed to get home, get into the bathtub, and cry bitterly while touching my belly, which would soon be swollen with a pregnancy I hadn't asked for. Laura continued to look at me in silence, sympathizing with my sorrow. Until that date, my only problem was knowing that Thiago was married — a matter that, according to my imagination, was solvable. But a baby? What do you do with a baby when you're only twenty-four years old and have a terribly chaotic life filled with dreams of love with a millionaire man?—"You'll have to get an abortion,"— my friend muttered. I looked at her with a furrowed brow, my face covered in water and tears.—"I couldn't do that."—"Then what will you do? Will you let go of your dream of becoming a businesswoman and matching your boss's level?"—"I won't be able to achieve that, pregnant or not. Thiago is impossible."—"You know very well that he's not happy in his marriage, and sooner or later, that will end.
My only boss Chapter 3
When I arrived home, I felt surrounded by loneliness and anguish. What had happened had caused even greater confusion. Nevertheless, in a certain way, I felt joy, as the conversation with Thiago had eased me. His kiss confirmed that I was truly deeply in love with him. But his words were like a sting, because the truth is that way, painful and cruel.I lay down on the bed, and the only thing that went through my mind was the memory of his kiss. Something I would never forget, something that would remain etched in my life as the only symbol or prize. I was aware that belonging to Thiago's life was merely an illusion. Even though he had confessed that he was attracted to me, my mind kept shouting that it was all part of his game. And even if I wanted to fall for it, I couldn't anymore because pregnancy prevented me. Everything had been so magical that I didn't even think about reporting the Clinic. I instead embraced a state of resignation and surrendered to it, as there was no escape.
My only boss Chapter 4
I left the agency with my chest tight with pain, with love, with confusion. Thiago was being too kind to me, but I couldn't get what happened at noon out of my head. I walked along the endless road, arms crossed, holding onto my bag, and I arrived at James' house, an old friend I met in college.— You showed up! - He exclaimed enthusiastically as he hugged me when I approached his door. I returned the hug; I needed it. I didn't let go, rested my chin on his shoulder, and started crying; the pregnancy was starting to affect my emotions, and that day had been filled with contradictions that were starting to take a toll on me. "What's wrong?" my friend asked, concerned. I couldn't utter a word, I moved away from him, and in silence, I made my way to the living room; immediately, he poured me some water, and his boyfriend Hugo handed me a tissue.— Darling, why are you crying? — They asked as they sat in front of me.— I fell in love — I told them, wiping my nose. It was impossible to sto
My only boss Chapter 5
— Are you serious, Thiago? — I asked once I had regained my breath.— I would never lie to those brown eyes — He responded.— I'm not on your level — I said, attempting to gauge the reliability of his response.— That doesn't matter! Thinking about that is almost blasphemy. How many women out there are willing for me just because of my money? What sense does that make? I don't want that anymore. I live it from my home. I don't need that, Lisa, only loyalty. Are you willing to submit?Listening to him raised so many doubts, instead of confirming what I wanted, it left me even more confused, so I could only add, — Submit to what?— To this game.— Game?— Yes, the game of loyalty, which can be very dangerous.— I didn't notice you for your money — I added, as if he was questioning me about that.— I'm not talking about money, but about how much loyalty you could offer, to this poor man surrounded by women who want to take advantage of him — he commented sarcastically.— Is it necessary
My only boss Chapter 6
I woke up surrounded by luxurious lights and Thiago by my side.— What happened? — I asked after opening my eyes.— Oh, my dear, you're back. You fainted — he replied.— Why are you here? — I asked, puzzled.— I'll explain later, rest — he added in his sweet voice as he drove.I stabilized in no time; his voice transmitted peace and serenity to me. Then, I remembered the situation in the park, and once I regained my strength, I spoke.— Leave me here; I need to go home — I pleaded, still drowsy.— You need to rest, I can't leave you here. You'll come with me to another place — he replied, stroking my hair.Fear began to invade me, and even though I was madly in love with him, I knew that being together anywhere was dangerous for my emotions.— No, take me home — I yelled desperately, trying to open the door. He yelled too.— No, don't be like a spoiled child, listen to what I say.— What about Esmeralda? What if she sees us together? — I said, desperate.— Calm down, Lisa. It's not go
My only boss Chapter 7
Who was I now, without cameras, without a cellphone, and without Thiago? I felt my stomach churning, the cold of loneliness. How was it possible for that wealthy man to ensnare me? It was already six in the morning when I decided to leave the park; going home wasn't a good idea. I could only make my way to Laura's house.— It's Lisa, open the door, please! — I shouted after knocking on the door repeatedly.— You're crazy! How dare you interrupt my sleep! — Laura said, still with disheveled hair, more asleep than awake.— I'm definitely crazy, — I replied and sat down sadly on her small couch.— You look like death, — my friend commented, looking at me perplexed. — Where did you wake up?— At a villa, I don't even know where, — I answered mechanically, as if I were a robot, completely absorbed.— Lisa, haven't you realized you're pregnant? What kind of mess are you in? — My friend scolded me, somewhat incomprehensible or incredulous.— In the mess called Thiago and his damn smile, — I
My only boss Chapter 8
The cold of the early morning woke me up, filled with hallucinations. I rushed to the bathroom; urinary incontinence was bothering me. As I walked, I also felt nauseous and vomited like a dog. I looked at myself in the mirror and washed my face. That's when I decided that it would be best to accept Laura's proposal.— It's not your fault, Lisa, you won't be able to handle this, — I said to myself, looking pale in the mirror.When the clock struck seven, I got up, took a shower, found decent clothes, and styled my hair. Convinced of my decision, it was best to have an abortion to get my normal life back. That would be the only way to determine if I really had a place in Thiago's life, even though he was married.I headed to Thiago's office, but Madeline, the secretary, stopped me.— You can't go in, he can't see you right now, — she said, looking at me over her glasses.— He told me to come today for a photo session, — I said confidently, feeling strange because I usually entered witho
