The first few days in the house were not that complicated. I even thought it would be worse, that it would be like in the movies where the children tie you down or make your life a total mess. I thought I wouldn't last the first day.
I hadn't been able to get close to Hector, he really was a complicated child to deal with, but his sister Lavinia I had managed to get close to. She was sweet and her manner reminded me a lot of Giselle's when she was the same age. Calm, serene and sweet.I just hope she doesn't steal her friends boyfriend...Ok, it was a sin for me to think that because Giselle was dead and Lavinia was just a child. I had to respect the memory of my friend, but just because she was dead didn't mean she was a saint, right?- Olivia? - The girl took me out of my thoughts - Is it true that you met mommy? I heard Grandma commenting.- Yes, - I shook my head positively - We were friends, I met her when I was your age.- Oh yes - She smiled - I have a great friend like that... that's Deborah.If you don't get her boyfriend when you grow up...she'll still be....The day was being normal,like any other. I even found it strange because since I had started working in Miguel H.'s house and with his children, nothing was normal.Bunch of crazy people...We had just had coffee when the company rang.In the room came a short woman with short black hair and very thin. She also wore glasses.- Good morning! - She stretched out her hand after smiling - I'm Lucia, the Social Assistant, could I have a word with Mr. Miguel Henrique?Iiiiiiiiii....ferrou!!!- Yes, of course, I'll call him - And I went to the kitchen.I already knew that the visits from the social worker would happen, because the process for Olga to get the children's custody from Miguel Henrique had already started and then it would be normal the visits of the social worker in the house.I wasn't surprised at all with Olga's attitude,but she would do anything for money and she certainly wanted to have Lavinia and Heitor for money and not for love.- Helena? - I'm sorry, but there's a lady in the living room named Lucia. She's a social worker and wants to talk to your son.- Oh, God! I forgot this detail - She brought her hand to her mouth, scared - Come with me Olivia, help me wake up Miguel. - She turned to Ana,the cook - Go to the living room and try to roll the woman up please?!- Okay ma'am - Ana nodded.I went upstairs with Helena. She was nervous and scared.It was only a short time before she knocked down the bedroom door of her son who would not wake up at all.Helena was afraid that Olga might take the children away from her son,even because of the way he lived,there were parties, parties, different women and partying. Miguel swore to his mother that he had stopped living in parties, but it was all a big hoax. He had just avoided getting into bigger messes.- Son, wash your face and please take that whiskey breath out of your mouth," she said as she nervously walked back and forth.This is crazy...- For God's sake Mom? - He spoke nervously - You won't need that ok?! Marriage arranged? Engaged? Never!Ok! The idiot's mother's idea was good but then what? And after the woman came back for another visit? For the first time I had to agree with him, it wouldn't be possible to lie if the lie wasn't going to be kept.Helena was so crazy that she would do anything to bring Olga down.We went down to the living room and there was the woman, her face visibly suspicious.At first she introduced herself and asked Miguel some questions about the children, routine and other things. It was an analysis of the family structure.- Well, Mr. Miguel Henrique - she smiled - We know that these children need a female example. Do you have any desire to remarry? It is very important that they have a family.Out of nowhere silence settled over that room. Miguel was moving his hands nervously and I swear I heard his heartbeat. Helena squeezed her eyes shut slowly and breathed tense. Even I found myself nervous at the woman's question.Miguel Henrique is fucked up..... only not...! I'm the one who got screwed...- Well...I...-he pulled my arm bringing me to him- I didn't want to divulge it now, even for Olivia's privacy but yes, I'm getting married in 3 weeks.Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooi? What do you mean?I started to look around to see if I could find a hidden camera or to see if I was participating in Gugu's ridiculous pranks or something. But I couldn't find anything.- Oh yes, of course," the woman smiled. No, lady, that's a lie! I wanted to scream - I even understand your fiancée's side - it's not easy living in the media. But anyway, since my job is for the good of the children, I will explain the situation to the judge.Somebody get me out of this madhouse?......- Of course Miss Lucia - The bastard smiled and squeezed my hands intertwined in his - Olivia hates the media and that's why she didn't want to divulge it before. She even lives with the children practically all day long.- How nice! Anyway - she got up from the couch - I will make another visit soon,next time I will come to talk to the kids the maid told me they are in a summer camp...have a good time.Ok, I didn't understand anything else. Engaged? Married? To Miguel Henrique? No! Never! This is a nightmare.Either she was crazy or he was crazy.I would never in my entire existence marry even if it was a lie with the scumbag.- Ok! - I frowned - What happened here? - I asked after the woman left.- From now on until I get custody of my children - He smiled victoriously - You will be my fiancée or better wife Olivia!Lord Jesus! What do you mean? Is that possible?As soon as the social worker walked out the door,I knew for sure,I was going to die or be beaten badly by Olivia. But I had no choice and unbelievably when the woman spoke of bride, marriage or family, I looked over and saw Oly.It was either she was my fake fiancée or I was 100% fucked and without my children that I had been trying so hard to get back.No, I didn't want to have to rely on my ex-girlfriend to help me, much less would she want to help me with this.- My son! What a great idea you had," my mother smiled, "Well, I'll leave you two to talk, okay?I waited for mom to come out and leave us alone,I knew she would yell or mess up my life in some way but in front of my mom it would be embarrassing.- Look,first listen to me…I felt my face burn after the slapping slap…You crazy girl! What was that?- You're such a jerk, aren't you Miguel Henrique? - Her eyes exuded hatred - Have you gone mad? What's in your head?- Olivia? Come on, what's the big deal? - I smoothed the left
I could only be having a bad dream or living in a horror movie. What do you mean? How could I ever marry Miguel Henrique? He was the man I hated most on the face of the earth.Yes, okay, it might be for a good cause, but if I didn't have to remind myself that he was a cheating bastard every time I looked him in the face, it would be a lot easier.- Sister, look, think of the children, okay? - It had been hours since Rebecca was trying to convince me - It must be bad enough to live without your mother and without your father it will be even worse.- Look Beck. I love those kids, you know? Especially Lavinia who I talk to the most - I took a deep breath - But I can't marry that idiot just like that, I hate him. Argh.- I'm starting to think it's the other way around...- I looked angrily at her - Don't look at me like that...it's...just a few months. Oly, stop being silly, take advantage of this situation and make him suffer. I don't know, take money from him, or travel, or make him regr
Olga looked at me with blood in her eyes. While everyone else in that room was smiling. Relieved.Okay, I don't know what had gotten into me and maybe I had gone crazy (again) but I had gotten into the madness of pretending to be the fiancée/future wife of Miguel H. I was not going to let Olga get away with this easily.- Baby...I just got back from the party room and everything is okay! - I hugged Miguel - Baby, I am so happy!Oh, if my mother could see me now, she would see that I am good at lying.- What are you clowning about? - Olga asked nervously.- Clowning around? - Henrique smiled victoriously, holding me by the waist.He was taking advantage of me...bastard!- Ma...but...you were my daughter's friend! - She shouted - Do you want to tarnish her image? Traitors!- As far as I know, here - Helena pointed at us - are two people who love each other and are going to get married. And my son has the right to move on with his life.- We are just rekindling the passion of years ago..
For dinner with Miguel I decided to wear a long blue dress, silver heeled sandals and a light makeup. Nothing too flashy, highlighting only the eyes.I was in my room finishing getting ready when I heard his voice echoing through the room.Miguel Henrique's husky voice was unmistakable. I could identify that voice from miles away and I couldn't deny it. It was the perfect blend with his appearance, his beard, his athletic body, and his eyes.How generous God was with this man!- Daughter, you look beautiful! - Dad smiled as he came into my room - Can I have a word with you?- Of course Dad! - I smiled.- Look, I'm totally against all this, you know!- I know dad...but it's for a good cause! - I tried to argue - Look, it's the kids ....e- Olivia, there must be another way! Daughter, this man is famous, rich and influential. He can solve everything without you having to marry him.My father was totally against the idea of me marrying MH in order to help him with the custody of the chil
- Miguel? - The woman opened the glowing pansies - Wow, it's just you, my favorite goalkeeper.- Mayra? - he got up to hug her - When did you go back to Brazil?- I came back this week! I was already sick of living in Europe!Blah...blah...blah...what a boring voice!The two of them started a lively conversation and I felt like a stranger there.This Mayra was a beautiful woman,that I couldn't deny but her voice was horrible. She had long hair past her waist,light eyes,fair skin and all this made her face perfect. She was wearing a tight white dress with a round skirt and golden sandals.She was a woman of average height but made a great presence.I was trying to understand their conversation and every second I was just floaty, I tried to catch some points but I didn't know much about what they were talking about.- I miss our weekends at my family's resort. - Hello! What the fuck is this - you know?! You have to get back together with my brother.- C...of course! Daniel is always with
Dinner was going well...until Mayra showed up. Somehow her presence didn't make Olivia happy, the way she behaved made me think for a moment that she was jealous. If it weren't for her hatred for me...Mayra and I were lovers when I was still married to Giselle, I met Mayra through Daniel, my friend and teammate. They are brothers.After Giselle's death,Mayra went to live outside of Brazil and our relationship ended.After all the confusion with Mayra I thought the night was over...only it wasn't!The kiss,Finally I had killed the craving I had been having after meeting Olivia again,The best thing I had done that night was kiss Olivia. It was always like that,When we kissed,she drove me crazy and wanted more.After the kiss we went back to the car. And again the silence settled between us. The rain had let up but the streets were flooded and I had a hard time getting home.- I guess you'll have to stay here at home - I said, turning off the car - It's impossible to drive in this rain.
Living under the same roof as that idiot Miguel was not easy. Even more after Helena had put it into my head that we should try to be a real couple, I regretted a thousand times having Miguel tell her that we had been boyfriend and girlfriend.She thought that if only the four of us lived together, maybe we could become a real family and everything would be easier.- You mean you're living the life of a madam? - Sarah was with me talking on the sofa - and a crazy mother-in-law to boot?- Sarah don't laugh, it's serious ok? - I rolled my eyes - Helena thought that I am the woman of Miguel Henrique's life, she said she consulted her psychic and the woman said my name.- I would believe her if your name wasn't in the newspapers and magazines! - She laughed. - You're looking well done, my friend!Sarah,Giselle and I have been friends since high school.After Giselle started dating Miguel my friendship with Sarah grew stronger,since then she has always been my confidant and we have never be
The big day had arrived, and I was finally getting to know the feeling of being happy and sad simultaneously. It was strange but it was also possible. To have two feelings at the same time, so opposite.It might sound crazy, but yes, I was happy because I was getting married. Ok, it wasn't the man I was madly in love with, but I had always dreamed of my dress and everything else that makes a bride happy.On the other hand, this was my sadness, I was going to marry Miguel Henrique, the most detestable of the detestable men on earth. Instead of improving, on the contrary, our relationship only got worse. Miguel seemed to have snapped, or rather he seemed to have woken up and gone back to being the same old idiot, the ogre, the one who lived at parties, had lost his chivalry and his irony had increased.But you know that saying that goes like this: "When a woman is angry, she doesn't sleep, she spends the night together with the thousands of other women inside her planning revenge"? So,
