The next day, Victoria got up and went to work as usual, and as soon as she left her room, she saw Noemia leaving her room too, and they went to the dining room with their hands together.
Valentina prepared breakfast for them.
“Come have breakfast!” Seeing them sit down, she said.
“Tina, why such a luxurious breakfast today?“ Noemia smiled when she saw the well-prepared breakfast.
“You two worked outside, and you must eat well!” Valentina handed them their plates and forks.
“Our jobs aren't tiring!” Noemia replied, and began to eat as soon as she sat down.
“Are the children still asleep?“ Valentina turned to Victoria as she asked.
“Yes. Please check on them for me later! I'm worried they might fall when they wake up later.” Victoria nodded and said.
Valentina rushed to check on the children first, and Victoria and Noemia continued eating breakfast.
In an expensive suite of one of São Paulo's most luxurious hotels, a slender figure was sprawled on the lavish bed. The man standing beside the bed brushed aside the young woman’s soft, blonde hair, revealing a face with unique features. Her rosy lips appeared dry. “It’s so dry here!” she exclaimed. “I need water!” The man beside the bed scoffed disdainfully, picked up his phone, and walked out to make a call. “Are you coming soon? She’s in room 268, and the effects of the drug are starting to show. But remember, take some spicy photos for me when you're done.” “Don’t worry, I’m almost there!” The suite door closed, and the person on the phone hadn’t noticed that the girl on the bed was watching him. Victoria propped up her weakened body as she got out of bed. A surge of unfamiliar heat burned through her body, and with the little strength she had left, she staggered out into the hotel corridor, trembling. She knew her half-sister, Ciara, was behind this, and she could
At dawn, the woman woke up with a splitting headache and aches all over her body. Glancing around, she realized she was in an expensive suite, clearly in a five-star hotel in the capital—a luxurious room. Victoria forced her eyes open and, mustering all the strength left in her body, pushed herself to sit up. The scene before her began to piece together the events of the previous night.Her red dress from the evening was torn, exposing soft, delicate skin as white as snow. Her long blonde hair fell lightly over her shoulders, further highlighting her pale, flawless complexion. The massive bed had its sheets in disarray, and scattered across it and the floor were not only her clothes but also men’s clothing. Victoria trembled in shock and turned to look at the other side of the bed. There lay Jackson Carson—the man she had always been infatuated with. He was the most sought-after bachelor in the capital, not only for his status as the heir to a $7 billion fortune but also for his
Victória painfully stepped out of the taxi and dragged her weak, exhausted legs toward the living room. She still wanted to speak with her father. She had barely reached the entrance when she heard cheerful laughter coming from inside. “Bruno, are you sure you can give me this red diamond ring? I’m not your fiancée. If Victória finds out, she’ll be furious!” Both Victória’s grandfather and Bruno’s grandfather had been friends since their youth. As a result, the two families had always been close, and a marriage between the two had been arranged since childhood. Over the years, as they grew up, Bruno adored the idea of having Victória as his fiancée. She was beautiful, and he had to woo her extensively until she finally gave in to the idea. However, at the moment she stepped through the front door, Victória saw Ciara clutching Bruno’s arm tightly, pouting. “Bruno, do you think I look pretty wearing this?” Victória walked straight into the living room without even taking o
Two Years Later...Much had changed in these two years. Victória was living with her aunt and still searching for a job to start over.Every day, she sent out résumés, but when she saw the time today, it was time to feed the kids.Time, even if brief, had been kind to Victória. The helplessness and fragility she once felt had been replaced by an enormous willpower to make things happen. This growth only amplified her beauty.Since being cast out of her home, she sought refuge with her mother’s family—specifically her aunt Valentina, the only remaining member of the Burdeos family.A month after the ordeal, Victória discovered she was pregnant. Her first thought was to terminate the pregnancy, but after seeing two tiny shapes on the ultrasound, something inside her shifted.She completed her education and, since becoming a mother, dedicated herself to giving her children the best life possible.Victória entered the kitchen unhurriedly and began preparing breakfast. The children and her
"I clearly remember saying that day that I never wanted to see you again." Jackson's voice was hoarse and rough with anger.Victória also wanted to stay far away from him, but she had no choice.She had applied for dozens of jobs over the past six months, and this was the only company that had called her back.She needed to support her children.Besides, he wasn’t the only victim of that night. She had accepted the consequences and never sought him out afterward.But the company was huge, and she simply had to try her best to avoid the man and stay out of his way in the future.When Jackson saw Victória lost in thought, he assumed it was intentional."This is my second warning. Stay away from me. I won’t say it again, understood?"Victória nodded. She understood perfectly.But he seemed convinced that she had done it on purpose, that she had planned to be there. Yet her hopes of winning his love had been destroyed long ago, and all she wanted now was a job to support her children."I
Victoria had just left Jake's office and was heading to her desk. The company's senior designer, a young woman two years older than her, was helping her settle into her new job. Her name was Lisa, and unlike Victoria, who was slim like a model, Lisa was plump. When Lisa saw how beautiful Victoria was, a spark of jealousy ignited in her heart.“This woman must be a flirt; I’m sure of it!”Lisa thought, as she had always harbored feelings for Jayric. Seeing him admire this new woman made her nervous.To vent her anger and jealousy, Lisa shoved a pile of drafts into Victoria’s arms and instructed her to review and organize the projects by the next morning. Then, without another word, she turned and went back to her desk.Victoria stared at the tall stack of papers in her arms, nearly reaching the top of her head. It was a lot of drafts. She wouldn’t be able to go home that night.And her children? They needed milk!Victoria could feel her breasts becoming heavy at the thought of her c
Victória intended to defend herself and deny everything, but when she caught the stormy look in Jackson's eyes, her courage wilted. He would probably kill her if she stood her ground. She should just tell him she had done it on purpose. What was the worst that could happen? He would hate her even more. She had long given up on earning his attention or interest! Since she was already in hell, she might as well embrace the devil. “Yes, that's right, I did it on purpose!” Victória held back her tears and bit her lip. “Now, can you let me leave?” He knew it! She had done all of this on purpose. But Victória's confession didn’t make Jackson feel any better. In fact, he felt a discomfort settle in his chest. “And what about what happened two years ago? You planned that too, didn’t you?” “Yes.” Victória answered fearlessly. “I planned that too. I was trying to seduce you, satisfied?” When Victória said this, Jackson immediately released her wrist, and his face dar
What I intend to do with Jackson is none of your business, don’t you think?" Victoria stared coldly at her half-sister, her voice devoid of any emotion.She spoke to her as if she were a complete stranger.Her stepmother and Ciara had appeared at her house’s door when Victoria was ten years old, and Ciara was only a year younger than her. Initially, Victoria thought she was her stepmother’s daughter with another man. But later, it turned out she was wrong—her father had been having an affair with Suelen behind her mother’s back for years.They had Ciara in secret. After her mother passed away prematurely, Suelen inserted herself fully into the Lazer family. Two years ago, Suelen and Ciara schemed against her, and her own father hid behind her mother—Madame Lazer—and remained silent.From that day forward, she decided she didn’t need a father like that. She could live much better alone, with her only real family: her aunt and her twins."You are truly shameless! You’ve ruined yourself,
The next day, Victoria got up and went to work as usual, and as soon as she left her room, she saw Noemia leaving her room too, and they went to the dining room with their hands together.Valentina prepared breakfast for them.“Come have breakfast!” Seeing them sit down, she said.“Tina, why such a luxurious breakfast today?“ Noemia smiled when she saw the well-prepared breakfast.“You two worked outside, and you must eat well!” Valentina handed them their plates and forks.“Our jobs aren't tiring!” Noemia replied, and began to eat as soon as she sat down.“Are the children still asleep?“ Valentina turned to Victoria as she asked.“Yes.

I'm worried they might fall when they wake up later.” Victoria nodded and said.Valentina rushed to check on the children first, and Victoria and Noemia continued eating breakfast.
Enzo was mischievous and started running around, but Lara couldn't catch him and started crying.Seeing her cry, Valentina approached to calm her down, and Enzo came to hug Lara. He continued running when Lara stopped crying and ran toward the main road just as Jackson's car pulled up.He almost got hit, but the driver stopped in time.As soon as Jackson got out of the car, he saw Enzo looking scared.“Enzo, what are you doing here alone?“ Jackson approached and crouched down in front of him, asking as he touched his short hair.”Grandma walk!” Seeing Jackson, Enzo felt familiar somehow and said in his sweet voice.“Are you saying that Grandma takes you for a walk?“ Jackson asked while smiling, and Enzo nodded.”Where is she?“”Behind us.“ He pointed to them, and even looked in the direction of the paths, and saw two figures approaching.”Where is Mom?”
“Yes, and please, Grandma, I need to talk to Akio!”Soraya understood her choice. However, she couldn't do it so casually, as the two families were closely connected, and her late husband had been a good friend of Akio's, and she didn't want to destroy the relationship.“Jackson, we'd better sort this out together with Victoria. She's our family now, after all. What do you think?“ Soraya suggested.“I'll do as you say!” Jackson simply agreed with his grandmother.Soraya immediately booked a restaurant for lunch, and Jackson thought about it for a while before sending a message to Victoria and asking her to have lunch with them.They had lunch at a beautiful French restaurant at noon, and Soraya was the host and invited Jhenifer and Victoria to join them.Victoria, however, didn't know that Soraya was going to seek justice for her, and thought she had only come here for the meal. When she saw that Jhenifer was also at the restaurant, and that she had been discharged from the hospital,
“Actually, a friend of mine knew her! “Victoria didn't want to reveal too much. ”And we had a little problem between us!” “A little problem? How could she do that to you because of a little problem?” Jayric thought Jhenifer was crazy. No matter how much resentment she had against Victoria, she couldn't do such a thing, because if Victoria didn't prove her innocence, she could end up in jail, and thinking about it, Jayric felt he had to deal with it properly. “Victoria, you don't have to take care of the job anymore, I'll talk to her director.” Victoria had no problem with his decision, as she didn't want to worry about dealing with Jhenifer anymore. “Where's Mr. Carson? Wasn't he here just now?“ Jayric suddenly realized that Jackson wasn't there. “He just left!” Victoria seemed shy when talking about Jackson. “Did he say anything?” Jayric was afraid that Jackson would fire her. “No!” “Great. Let's go!” Less than five minutes after they left, Jhenifer slit her wrists with a
Jackson waited for Jhenifer in the hallway with a stern face, and Jhenifer reluctantly walked over.“You got what you wanted, right?” Jackson asked directly“Jackson, how dare you talk about me like that?” Jhenifer didn't feel well, but she had to play it weak for the sake of her family and her career. “She's your girl. How dare I? I don't want to suffer!”She wasn't sincere, and Jackson didn't want to play too hard to get, but he didn't want to worry about the Massaros once again.“Jhenifer, we've known each other since we were children, and I don't want to embarrass you, but you have to confess your crimes, and if you don't, I'll be angry. “His voice hardened, he really was very angry.He hated it when others tried to find fault with Victoria.“Jackson, are you threatening me?”It was the first time Jhenifer had seen him angry with her, and it seemed that that g
When the two women were talking, Jayric hurried into the room and stood next to Victoria, and the delegate had everything ready, and sat down in the interrogation chair.“Victoria, please come in and tell me what happened.”“All right!” Victoria stood up, but before she entered the interrogation room, Maison arrived, because Jackson had told him to come and find out what had happened.“Stra. Lazer, Mr. Carson says he'll take care of things.” Maison stopped Victoria in the middle of the road and said.“Maison, please tell Mr. Carson that I can handle this on my own. “Victoria shook her head.She wanted to sort things out herself, not rely on Jackson all the time.“Mrs. Lazer..."Maison was a little embarrassed.“Maison, I'm innocent, so I'm not afraid! “ said Victoria.
When someone called the police, there was complete chaos in the dressing room, and Jhenifer looked at Victoria smiling.“Ms. Lazer, do you have anything to say?” She asked.“I didn't steal anything, Jhenifer, and you know it!” Victoria answered word for word, keeping a straight face.“Really? Do I know that? I don't think so! I caught you with the necklace. Why don't you admit it?” She squeezed the necklace in her hand and sneered. “Why do you still deny it? Are all JB designers like that? Liars?”“Ms. Massaro, I even agree to call the police, so I can prove that I didn't steal your necklace!”Victoria looked at her and said calmly, because she wasn't afraid of Jhenifer's frame-up, she trusted that with the technology the police use, they could prove her innocence.However, in Jhenifer's eyes, her fearless face was offensive and disgusting, and she thought Vi
“Hi, Noemia. Did something happen?” She turned away to answer the phone.“Actually, I have some good news for you. “Noemia said excitedly into the phone. “I've received the results of the paternity test, and you can rest assured!”“Really?” Victoria was surprised and then felt a sense of relief inside her chest.“Why would I lie to you? And don't worry about it any more. The children are yours, and Jackson and neither his family will take them! “Noemia replied.“Thank you for helping me with this, I promise I'll invite you to dinner tonight, if you're available. “Victoria nodded and said.“Okay, no problem! “Noemia replied cheerfully and continued. “Are you busy working? Then I'll leave you alone until later.”Victoria hung up the phone and stood in the corridor for a while, breathed a long sigh of relief and then went back to th
“Jackson, can you tell me first when you want to do these things? I should be prepared for that.” Victoria took a deep breath.“All right!” Jackson kissed her on the cheek and said. “Do you want to stay a little longer?”“No, I want to go home.” Victoria was exhausted and wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.“Take the clothes as a gift, and I'll take you to the party. Wear it that day, okay?” Jackson didn't force her and said so.Victoria nodded and turned off the tap, then turned and looked at Jackson, who was standing next to her.“Since I'm dating you, can you help me if I have any problems? I'm not saying I do, but I just want to know!”“I'll definitely help you and protect you!”“Thank you!” His promise relieved Victoria, who thought to herself, “If she's closer to him, she can ask him to help her deal with the La
