I love waking up and watching Rebeca sleep. It’s amazing how a woman with such a strong personality managed to win my heart. Brushing a strand of hair from her face, I wonder how we went from being complete opposites to pieces that fit together so well.—What time is it?—It’s 8 AM.She sits up in bed, her hair tousled, and even like that, I think she’s beautiful. Just the way she is, no filters.—Oh no, Bryan! Why didn’t you wake me up?—Because I like watching you sleep. You looked tired, love. I didn’t want to disturb you.She tries to get up, but I pull her closer to me.—Where do you think you’re going?—To take a shower.—And what about my kiss?She gives me a kiss, but I pull her back into bed, lying on top of her. I love the mischievous smile she gives me.—I need to go to work!—Only after we have coffee together. Let me spoil you a little, and then maybe I’ll let you go.I give her several kisses on the neck until she laughs and gently pushes me away.—Oh, come on, you’re no

As soon as my parents leave the room, Bryan gets out of bed, completely naked, and looks at me with a mischievous smile.—What a fine way for us to get to know each other, don’t you think? he teases, with a smile that shows all his mischief before turning and heading to the bathroom.While he freshens up, I put on some clothes and go downstairs, but I soon hear an argument between my father and my mother in the living room.—Did you see how he mocked the situation, Catarina? Everyone from that family is like that! That’s the kind of person we have to be careful with! my father, Vicente, complains, his voice laden with disapproval.—Vicente, you’re seeing things, my mother responds, trying to calm him down. —The boy loves our daughter, and that’s what matters. Didn’t you see how happy she was? And, more importantly, he knows how to stand his ground. If it were someone else, he would have gotten up and left. But he didn’t do that; he wanted to show that he loves her, and I admire that a

In the late afternoon, the sun was already setting, painting the sky with shades of pink and gold while the guests said their goodbyes with hugs and laughter, satisfied with the celebration that had been a true success. Beck felt happy and tired after the long night, enjoying the silence that began to fill the house as everyone left.Her mother called her softly, "Beck, your father wants to talk to you both in the office."Beck exchanged a quick glance with Bryan, and he nodded, indicating they were ready for any conversation. As they entered the office, they found Beck’s father sitting with a serious expression."Have a seat."Beck and Bryan sat down in front of him, while Bryan kept a steady gaze on her father."So, young man... you caught all of us by surprise.""And I have that effect on people."Bryan replied with a slight hint of mockery, but Beck gave him a discreet nudge to control his tone."If it were up to me, I would never accept this marriage, but... I love my daughter, a

The wedding reception was in full swing. Friends and family came to congratulate us, while I exchanged hugs and grateful smiles. At one point, I see Lidia coming toward me, and before I can say anything, she hugs me tightly.—Friend, I’m so happy for you! And this baby on the way... She speaks with a mix of emotion and joy.Soon after, Dylan approaches and hugs me with a calm smile. He leans in, speaking softly.—I’m so happy for you and for this little angel on the way.He gives me a kiss on the cheek and goes to greet Bryan. Shortly after, I see Igor approaching alone, and he gives me a friendly smile.—It was a beautiful ceremony, Beck. I wish you all the happiness... and to your baby too.He touches my belly gently and pulls me into a hug.—Thank you for coming, Igor. And Jade? Couldn’t she make it?—She had to work today, but she sent lots of good wishes for you.At that moment, my father appears beside us, looking at Igor with a cordial expression.—May I?Igor waves goodbye and

I slowly open my eyes and look around. I'm in a dark place, sitting on a chair, my arms tied up. I tense my muscles, trying to free myself, but it's useless. The silent environment only intensifies my fear.Suddenly, the lights come on. A man with brown hair, dark eyes, and a cold expression approaches, holding a switchblade.—So, Sleeping Beauty has woken up. Forgive us for not having a more comfortable place for you.He approaches, lightly running the switchblade along my arm. His fingers grip my chin, forcing my face up, his dark gaze fixed on me.—You have the same eyes as your mother.—I... I don’t understand.He looks at me with a cruel smile.—Let me refresh your memory. One day, we raided your house because of a debt your father and brother owed. Your mother... well, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She got in the way, and... we did what we had to do. The shot that hit her went through her body and hit your little brother.My body trembles with rage and pain at hi
