A Walk in the Park

AaronI woke up on Saturday morning with a lightness I hadn’t felt in a long time. My first instinct was to reach for Rebecca beside me. As my arms wrapped around her, I felt her body relax against mine, as if she’d been waiting for that touch too.I leaned in and kissed her softly, the gentle brush of our lips the perfect start to the day.“Good morning, my love,” I murmured, my voice still rough with sleep. “How are you feeling today?”She smiled, her eyes sparkling in the morning light.“Really good, Aaron. And you?”“Better now,” I said—and it was true. Every morning beside her felt like a gift.

A Brother’s Concern

AaronWhile we were at the park, I did my best to block out Anton’s problems. It was our day—Rebecca’s and mine—and I wanted to enjoy every moment with her. But as soon as we got back to the apartment and she went to the bedroom to change, the worry came rushing back. I picked up my phone and called Anton. He answered on the third ring, and the worn-out voice on the other end confirmed what I already suspected—he was in bad shape. “Aaron,” he began, not even trying to hide the bitterness. “If you’re calling to tell me everything’s going to be fine, save the speech.” “I’m

Running from Reality

AntonWhen my phone rang and Tony’s name flashed on the screen, I took a deep breath, tension settling over my shoulders. He’d been complaining for weeks, saying I’d become a different person, but honestly, I had no patience for his criticisms. "Finally, huh?" he started in that mocking tone that always got under my skin. "Thought you’d vanished off the planet, Anton. What are you now? Aaron 2.0?" "What do you want, Tony?" I asked flatly, trying to shut this down before it even started. "Relax, man. Just saying it’s funny how much you’ve changed. At least you used to know how to have fun. Now it’s like you’re living to please your perfect little family." The comparison to Aaron bothered me more than I wanted to admit. Not that there was anything wrong with being responsible, but Aaron wasn’t exactly the poster child for emotional stability—not the example I wanted to follow. "Maybe I realized living from party to party isn’t enough, Tony. You should try it sometime," I shot

A Moral Hangover

AntonI woke up with a pounding headache and the bitter taste in my mouth that only a hangover could bring. It had been a while since I’d felt like this. I stayed in bed, staring at the ceiling as flashes from the night before played in my mind. Tony. The club. The drinks I knew I shouldn’t have had. And then, Anneliese. Her intervention hadn’t just stopped me from doing something stupid—it had reminded me that there were people in my life who cared about me. Even though I hadn’t done anything wrong, I knew exactly how those nights with Tony usually ended. Women I barely knew, and an even deeper emptiness the next morning. Just the thought of making a mistake like that—something that could destroy any chance I had with Pietra—made my stomach twist. I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment. I couldn’t keep going like this, so lost and directionless. I needed to find a way back to Pietra, to show her she could trust me. But with my head throbbing, thinking straight seemed impossib

Walls Raised, Strategy Thwarted

PietraEven though I had agreed to take things one step at a time with Anton, doubt was still eating away at me almost a week after our appointment with the obstetrician. I couldn’t shake the feeling that, somehow, all of Anton’s efforts to win me over had been driven by his grandfather’s demand for a great-grandchild.On Sunday, when the doorbell rang late in the afternoon, my heart skipped a beat. It was like I already knew it was Anton before even hearing his voice. He’d been strangely silent all day, and considering how persistent he usually was, that made me suspicious.I stood still, staring at the door as if I could figure out what to do just by looking at it.“Aren’t you going to get that?” Andressa asked, coming out of the kitchen with a glas

Shocking Betrayal

AaronThe moment I walked into the office on Monday, I barely set my briefcase down before grabbing my phone to call Ettore. "Ettore, I need to know what you have for me. Today." My voice was firm, but not aggressive. On the other end, he remained calm, as always. "Aaron, trust me. When the time is right, I’ll come to you." I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to hold back my impatience.

A Major Traitor

Aaron The impact of the guard’s words left me completely stunned. I stood frozen for a few seconds, trying to process a revelation that felt too surreal to be true. Eric. Paolla’s lover was Eric.My anger surged like an uncontrollable wave. I stood up abruptly, my chair scraping the floor with a harsh sound.“Is that really what I just heard?” I asked, my voice louder than usual. “Eric? My best friend?”The guard, Luiz, lowered his gaze, clearly uncomfortable with my outburst. But it was Ettore who spoke, his voice steady and controlled.“That’s right, Aaron. That’s what he revealed, and the evidence I collected confirms it.”I r

A Spark of Doubt

AaronThe moment I left the clinic, anger still surging through me, I grabbed my phone and called Rebecca. I needed to see her—as if she could anchor me, keep me from spinning out. She picked up after several rings, her voice sweet and curious. “Aaron? Is everything okay?” “Yes… I mean, no.” I ran a hand over my face, trying to organize my thoughts. “Can you meet me outside your school?” There was

Desire for Revenge

Paolla Walking through the halls of Baumann, I kept my head held high and my posture perfect, as I always did. But inside, my fury was boiling. Aaron, that ungrateful bastard, treated me like I was nothing.As I turned a corner, I was met with the imposing figure of Leonel walking toward me. He gave me that analytical look I loathed so much, but then his expression softened as he approached.“Paolla, how are you?” he asked, his voice laced with genuine concern that almost made me roll my eyes.Poor Leonel. Always so confident that he can control everyone and everything.I seized the opportunity like the seasoned actress I was. I embraced him, resting my face on his shoulder, pretending to be on the v

A Possessive Man?

Rebecca That day’s class was wonderful. I always felt rejuvenated whenever we worked on the practical part, but this particular one had been different. Even with the tension from the previous day still lingering in my mind, something inside me felt more at peace. Maybe it was the reflection of the night Aaron and I shared. After everything he had been through, seeing him leave for work with a calmer demeanor was a relief. I was leaving the classroom when someone started walking beside me. "Rebecca, do you have plans after class?" asked Lilian, one of my classmates.It was surprising how much she had been getting closer to me in the past few weeks. Always shy, but extremely kind, she seemed to have found some comfort in our conversations. The invitation for tea
