All Chapters of The Magnate's Pregnant Nurse: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 41At home, Maitê took several deep breaths, trying to calm the tightness in her chest. The fear of the cowboy was growing each night—it wasn’t just persistence; it was something more obsessive, more dangerous. If it weren’t for him, maybe it would be easier to endure. Maybe she could convince herself it was just work, just survival. But now, every time she stepped onto the stage, she felt his eyes glued to her, as if he had already decided she would give in at any moment.She sighed deeply, sitting on the edge of the bed. She wondered if she could handle another week of that. The club was what was keeping her afloat. But at what cost?She went to take a shower. Then she lay down beside the babies, who were sleeping peacefully, and turned off the light. In the darkness, fear and shame tangled together until they formed a knot in her throat. She closed her eyes and prayed for the cowboy to give up soon. Or for her to find the strength to quit before he forced her into something

Chapter 43Meanwhile, in the hotel room, Maitê was still staring at her phone screen. Half a million. That was it. She wouldn’t do that kind of work anymore. Well… she hoped never again, actually.She ordered an Uber and went back home. She wasn’t going to risk running into another robber.She got home and went straight to the bathroom. From the absolute silence, the kids and Dafne were asleep.She let the hot water run over her body, passed the sponge over her neck where he had kissed and bitten her urgently, moved down to her breast that he had sucked so hungrily it had made her moan out loud, without shame. She shut her eyes tightly. She felt as if she had betrayed Rafael, even though they hadn’t been together for months.When she left the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, she ran into Dafne."Look, I’m going to tell you something once and for all. It’s decided. You’re not going back to that hell. I’ll do whatever it takes. Anything you need, I’ll find a way. Please, Maitê…"Maitê took

Chapter 45Maitê rose slowly from the chair beside the bed. She walked to the window, leaned her forehead against the cold glass, placed her hand on her face, and closed her eyes tightly. Her mind refused to accept it.That strong, arrogant, charming man who had always seemed invincible… was now lying there, hooked up to tubes and machines, disfigured, fighting for every breath. It made no sense. It couldn’t be real.She took a shaky breath and looked back. Rafael remained motionless, his chest rising and falling in the mechanical rhythm of the ventilator. She approached the bed again.“You’re going to be okay,” she whispered. “You’re going to get through this. I know you will.”She reached out carefully and lightly touched his fingers. She stood there, frozen, suffering in silence.Daniel entered.“Where are the babies?”Maitê turned her face, surprised.“At the hotel. With the nanny.”He nodded.“I know it will be hard to leave his side, but… get the children and take them to the ma

Chapter 47Two weeks later, Rafael’s room looked less like an ICU and more like a regular recovery room. The tests multiplied: CT scans, MRIs, electroencephalograms, daily neurological evaluations.Every result was analyzed carefully, discussed in endless rounds. Daniel attended almost all of them; Maitê, when she could, stayed by the door, listening to fragments of technical terms she already knew by heart, yet that still terrified her.Finally, one morning, the head neurologist called Daniel and Maitê into the room next to Rafael’s."We have decided to completely stop the sedation today," the doctor announced, looking them in the eyes. "His vital signs have been stable for days. Brain activity is consistent. There is no longer any reason to keep him under sedatives. Now it is only a matter of time before he wakes up. It could be today, tomorrow, in a few days… The brain needs to reorganize itself. But the signs are good."Maitê felt her legs weaken. Daniel discreetly held her by the

Chapter 49The next morning, Daniel held Théo in his arms and slowly brought him closer to the bed. Rafael, half-sitting, reached out and carefully took the baby. Théo blinked slowly and touched his father’s face with his open palm."Hi, buddy…" Rafael murmured, his voice hoarse with emotion. "You’re… strong, huh?"Then Maitê handed him Luna. Rafael took her with his other arm, even though it hurt a little."You are mine…" he whispered, more to himself. "My babies."Daniel and Maitê exchanged a look. There was no need for words. Rafael kissed each of their foreheads. Then, reluctantly, he handed the babies back. Daniel left with them and the nanny.Rafael stared at the closed door for long seconds. Then he turned his face toward Maitê.She was standing by the window, using her phone, probably texting Dafne. He watched her closely.Her brown hair falling loosely over her shoulders, the delicate shape of her face, the straight nose, the full lips he had kissed a thousand times in anothe
