Flavian’s POVI was about to speak, but my mother interrupted me."Just a moment, Flavian." She looked at Lexie. "Lexie, I have many flaws, but I'm not a monster like that Rita! I was willing to insist on your marriage to William, but not at any cost.""Are you sure about that, Mom? Dad said you would lock me in my room." Lexie was hurt too, and I hadn't realized it yet."I did think about it, yes, but I didn't do it. And I won't. I want you to know something - when I decided to come look for you today, I had already made a decision. And after talking to Manu at the hospital, even before knowing who she was, I was certain of what I had to do. So, before your brother tells you what he discovered, I want you to know that I won't insist on you marrying William anymore. And I won't interfere with your choices either. If you want to come home, I'll welcome you with open arms, but if you decide your place is here, I'll respect your choice." None of us expected that. Lexie, Raul, and I were s

Flavian’s POVManu was winning over the Morenos one by one, at an impressive speed. My mother was completely charmed by her, and my father saw her differently - the way he looked at her had changed. As upset as I'd been, I couldn't deny that having their support was much better than turning our backs on them. I'd already made it clear that I wouldn't accept any more attempts at interference, wouldn't allow them to offend or hurt her, and they seemed to have gotten the message."Well, since that's how it is, I'd like to say that I've thought about everything we discussed yesterday." Everyone turned to look at me. Beside me, my little one smiled. "I'm burying the subject, burying our fights and disagreements, and tearing down what you called the wall I built between us, Dad. Now you know that she's the reason for my life and that I won't let anyone hurt her or try to drive her away from me. I hope you understand that Manu is my happiness, the woman I love. And I hope you'll respect my ch

Manuela’s POVThe house was beautiful, two stories, a facade with stone pillars and lots of glass, colonial roofing, and painted in a gorgeous darker beige tone. It was all lit up."Shall we?" He opened the car door for me. I was so enchanted by the house that I hadn't even seen him get out of the car."Who lives here?" The house was on the street behind Patrick's house, so I hadn't seen it the other times I'd been here."It's not who lives here, it's who's going to live here, but that depends on you." Flavian smiled at me. I was confused and he seemed to notice. "You said we needed a bigger house." He shrugged."Yes, a bigger house, not a giant house." I couldn't take my eyes off the house. I couldn't hide my enchantment."Don't you even want to see it?" He seemed a bit disappointed."Of course I want to see it, I just wasn't expecting this." I smiled. That house was too beautiful and I was afraid of liking it too much.We went through every room in that house, and there were many. Be

Manuela’s POVI had been feeling very insecure since Flavian rushed off to his town to confront Sabrina. I couldn't understand - if they were already divorced, what difference did the lies she told make? Besides, he had been acting very strange, full of little secrets with Lexie and coming home late. It couldn't be that everything was starting all over again. Sure, he was still affectionate with me and always saying he loved me, but I sensed something was going on.About the house we went to visit, since that day he hadn't brought up the subject again, neither about that house nor about finding a bigger place for us to move to. I didn't know what it was, but the more I thought about it, the more certain I became that he was starting to get tired of me."Stop biting your nails, Manu!" Lexie gave my hand a little slap as I had it in my mouth.We were home alone, watching that SWAT series she was addicted to, since Flavian hadn't come home yet. I looked at her like I didn't understand."Y

Flavian’s POVI was almost ready to surprise my little one, but the closer the day came, the more anxious I became. I was finishing the email with the changes I wanted made to the project. I hoped my little one would like the surprise I was preparing.I heard three knocks on the door and told them to come in. I knew it wasn't Bonfim, because he never knocked. Someone entered, but I was focused on sending the email I had just written, so I didn't look up to see who it was. But when I heard the key turning in the lock, I became alert and raised my head to see who it was."What are you doing here?" I roared like a lion."Hi, detective! Like the surprise? I'm the new member of Detective Bonfim's team." That irritating woman from the Police Academy, the same one who had locked herself in with me at the academy, was standing in front of me.She was a vulgar woman, wearing jeans so tight they practically split her in half and a police shirt so snug it looked like it would explode with every b
