All Chapters of With love, Mr. Bragança: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

DAVIDI'm finally home, calling the front desk every fifteen minutes to hear from Nelly, until I'm referred to speak directly to her nurse, the same one I spoke to earlier and receive information that calms me down. I also call the hospital where Kiara is admitted and I am relieved to know that despite the blow to the head, her condition is not serious, on the contrary, there were no sequelae and soon she will be able to leave. I was afraid to tell Nelly about her friend's condition. Edward also called me and revealed his suspicions of Kaciana, who, apparently, told her contorted version of his involvement with Carlota and the kidnapping to the sheriff.When I woke up I felt strange, empty, the bed seemed wide enough for a family of elephants or my loneliness.Loneliness.That word never struck me as bitter, for it used to be my sweetest punishment. Being alone was the destiny I chose years ago when I denied myself happiness.Now, I'm in the cemetery, staring at Luís Miguel's tombstone

NELLYTwo men entered the room a few seconds later and broke up the fight between David and Edward. The tallest of the security guards wraps Edward around the waist, impeding his advance, which by far was the wisest idea considering the murderous look on his face. Both he and David have exchanged threats, but I feel that some of their hatred has nothing to do with me directly, but with unfinished business from the past.I'll bet you a buck that all repressed hatred has to do with Carlota and her set-ups in the past. David has already made it clear that Charlotte was stalking him and caused him to transfer schools.My eyes were torn between my first youthful crush and my platonic love, but when David caught me staring, I had to feign indifference.It turns out that it is very difficult to camouflage feelings, let alone hide them in front of the eyes of the person you like."What are you doing here?" the question came from me, the bitter feeling corrupting my entire mouth. David blinked

NELLY ''You?'' It wasn't meant to sound like a question, but I'm really feeling confused.Alice smiled without revealing her teeth, a nervous, fake smile that made me take two steps back.''Can I come in?'' She looked at me, then over my shoulder and studied my room. She's never been here, but I can't tell if she's curious about my house or looking for someone.I cleared my throat, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear, and smiled if I was good.''Of course''My eyes followed her movements to the couch, so when she looked at me, there were thousands of questions in her eyes. However, one stood out, and I had to pretend I didn't notice.Frankly, it was too early for an honest conversation, my wounds were just beginning to heal, and I wasn't going to take a step until I was sure it was what I wanted.''Do you want something to drink?'' I tried to smile. I tried.''A coffee?'' I raised my eyebrows incredulously, but I didn't say anything. ''Sugar-free''. she added, and I almost snorted.

NELLY " What happened to her?" David crouches down beside me, checking Alice's pulse, while I keep her head in my lap and try not to freak out. "She fainted, we need to take her to the hospital." I say, urgency and panic lacing my voice, looking at my best friend's pale face and blood staining her clothing. David's fingers touched mine for a few milliseconds before he pulled her weight onto him and lifted her off the ground, yelling for me to follow. I did. My feet followed his steps to the elevator, then out into the garage to his car. When we finally arrive at the hospital, Alice is awake and having a quiet conversation with Eduardo on her cell phone, and although I try hard not to pay attention to the dialogue, the cramped space makes me hear the wrong words and wrinkle my nose. Mainly, because they are cute together. Like, cute and toxic. But who am I to judge? Simple, I can't, at least not when my baby's father, who is also my former teacher and boss, is in the driver's seat

NELLY "Nelly, can you hear me?"I open and close my mouth, managing to stop myself before answering. The last time we talked about Kaciana, he got upset, and we got into a fight. This other one is also just as delicate."Can we go another day?""No, I'm coming to your building. I'll take care of you."He hung up the call before I could argue.I sighed.Having him here was a bad idea for many reasons, but the main one is that I'm not ready to pick up where we left off, but my hormones disagree and scream his name every time we meet.The man is engraved in my mind and heart.Very much.And making love would clear my mind for a few minutes, not to mention it's a natural relaxant. Even more so in the protective daddy mode he finds himself in. Seriously, the guy made a relaxing music playlist, so I could listen to it at bedtime and soothe the baby.It's cute, and I don't know how to deal with that version of him.I mean, I was ready to run away and raise my son on my own when I found out a
