It smelled really good and looked really tasty.— Yes, I wanted to make this surprise for you. Eat up.Teresa watched us while we ate the soup. I practically devoured it, but I got scared seeing Alessandro ask for seconds.— That's his favorite soup. He always asked me to make it at least once a week. — Teresa clarifies after seeing my face in shock.I nodded to her in understanding and finished my soup, feeling satisfied.After everyone had finished their meals, Alessandro was about to get up when Margarida entered the living room with a tray in her hands.—Wait, dear. Margarida's daughter came from Pernambuco and sent this peanut candy. Remember that one you ate a while ago?Teresa asked and Alessandro nodded confirming, eyeing the candies. Margarida placed the little bowls in front of us and stepped away. Alessandro took some and ate right after, smiling with appreciation.— It really is very good. — He said and only then did I eat some, approving too, even though I wasn't very fon

(Larissa)I was startled by the sound of the door opening, I looked around trying to understand what was happening and I felt strong arms wrap around my body.My eyes widened when I recognized the scent and the strong chest of Alessandro, who was sleeping beside me.— Oh, my God! It worked! — I looked back at the door, seeing Teresa and Carlo excited.My eyes widened even more when I remembered that I was naked, with only Alessandro's jacket covering a small part of my body.— You two! — I raised my face, seeing Alessandro sit up with an anger described on his beautiful features.— Get dressed, children. — Teresa said before closing the door, with a little excited smile.Alessandro got up as if he had been shocked. He looked at me in a way that I couldn't understand and then began to get dressed.I looked for my clothes and got dressed too, to look in his direction. When we finished, we left the pantry to find a full table and two people looking at us with curiosity and pride.— How c

—Don't play dumb, Larissa. The issue here isn't that. I hope nothing really happened between you two.A knock on the door caught our attention and Larissa ran to open it, revealing Vanessa a bit curious.— Sorry to interrupt, but Mr. Lima wants to see you. He got excited upon knowing our CEO is at the factory.I looked at the woman with disgust and followed them, with Larissa in front.Upon entering Mr. Lima's office, we found him busy examining some reports. He looked up with surprise upon seeing us, but quickly regained his composure.— What can I do for you, Mr. Moretti, Mrs. Larissa? — Mr. Lima asked, trying to hide his nervousness.Larissa took the lead, her voice firm and determined. She clearly explained the problems that had been identified in the packaging production and the negative impacts they were having on the process as a whole.—I regret to inform you, Mr. Lima, but we have found a series of flaws in the packaging production. There are inconsistencies in the materials

When I returned, Alessandro wasn't there anymore. I stayed a little in the square and went in when I felt sleepy. I passed by the door of the room they were in… Sleeping together in the same room while he came to think he had the right to confront me about having slept with Rafael or not. He's such an idiot.When the day dawned, I gathered my things and left the hotel, stopping for a moment watching Alessandro put the suitcase in the trunk of the car and close it.He turned, looked at me for a few seconds and then got inside the car, leaving with it right after.The humiliation boiled in my blood when Chiara's satisfied and victorious smile reached me. I tried to ignore the bad sensation in my chest and headed to the bus station, waiting for the bus to arrive.The bus trip was always longer and when I arrived home, I was tired, but I had to go to the company. Rafael spent the whole time sending me worried messages, still not understanding why Alessandro made him come back, since when

I left the bathroom the moment I saw through the window, Alessandro's car leaving the garage. I took a deep breath, wiping the tears that insist on running down my face.I hated this whole situation, all these feelings I still had for him. I wanted to be able to not care about what he does or doesn't do, but the heart is foolish, it doesn't listen to reason.I went to the window of the room, seeing that the roses had already been removed from there. I grabbed the card in my pocket and reread it, trying to feel a bit of peace in my heart.I walked to the closet and grabbed my book, which had the fake cover and put the card inside.Alessandro could destroy the roses, but I wouldn't allow him to completely destroy my life.I waited until it was time to get ready and go to the club. After taking a shower, I stared at the closet in search of something to wear. I barely had anything here to go out, until my eyes landed on the piece with rhinestones. I took it out of the closet, feeling a sm
