I take a long, calm shower, getting ready to call my dad and tell him the news. I know he's going to scold me a little bit, but he'll be happy when I tell him I'm going to move in with him. My father is still young, despite my 24 years, he is only 43. I was born when he was nineteen and my mother seventeen. Today she is 41. They married very young.
I was born first, and then my sister Leila, who is 20. She lives with my mother. My sister decided not to go to college and invested in a new profession: digital influencer. And believe me, she's getting paid well. We always thought it wouldn't work out, but we were completely mistaken. Today it is well known on the internet. I find her videos amusing; She has a talent for it. If it were me, I'd be in trouble because I don't have a way to talk in front of a camera. Leila and I are opposites. She's explosive, whereas I'm shy and prefer to be quiet. She takes my mother, and I take it after my father. My dad and I are more relaxed. As I was thinking about him, I decided to call and tell everything that is happening.
"Hi, Dad, it's me, Ana."
"Hi, honey, are you alright? How are things there in Seattle?"
"Well, Dad, that's what I wanted to talk to you about."
"Did something happen, Ana?"
"Dad, I'm pregnant."
"Really?"
"Yes, I need to leave Seattle as soon as possible."
"Is there anything else I need to know, Ana Paula?"
"Yes, Dad, but I didn't want to tell you over the phone. I wanted it to be face-to-face."
"When are you coming, daughter?"
"This week, Dad."
"Let me know so I can pick you up at the airport. I'll be thrilled to have him with me for a while."
"I know that, Dad."
"Take care of yourself, my dear!"
"Amen, father! Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, I love you! Never forget that!"
"Never! I love you so much!"
I was absolutely sure my father wouldn't question me. He is like that, a soft-hearted person who respects our decisions. I love my dad so much! Spending time with him will be great. There, I can start my life over. Even if it's hard now, I'm sure I'll laugh at it all in the future. Telling him was easy. Now, telling my mom is going to be a little tricky. She has an explosive way of dealing with things and problems. I'm sure she'll see my pregnancy as a big problem. She will say that I ruined my life, that taking care of a child is not easy, especially without the help of the father. Before I tell you everything that's going on, I need to prepare myself mentally. I'll only call her when I'm in France, where I know she can't reach me. I'll only tell her when I'm there. Ella has already left for her shift. Now, I'm alone, mulling over everything Diego told me in my head. Suddenly, the intercom rings, startling me. I'm not expecting anyone and I haven't asked for any deliveries. But I answer, maybe it's Ella who asked for something and forgot to let me know. However, I find it strange to hear the name of the person who is looking for me: Thiago, Fuentes' messenger. It can only be him. Let's find out what he came to do in the name of this one.
Thiago-
Honestly, I didn't want to get involved in Mr. Fuentes' story. Sometimes he puts me in awkward situations because of these girlfriends he gets involved with. This whole thing of taking Mrs. Ana's stuff is just another mess I'm getting into because of him. It's very difficult to deal with all this, but I need the work, and it pays very well. But deep down, it's exhausting to cater to the whims of a spoiled rich kid. If the guy didn't want a child, why didn't he take precautions? It's easy for him now to blame the girl. This is irresponsibility, childish behavior. If Mr. Fuentes knew what I really think, he would probably order me killed. He thinks everyone should bow to him. But it's a pain to deal with all of this.
I arrived at the building where Ana lives and asked the doorman to announce me. She took a while to respond, but soon let me in. As soon as she opened the door, I could tell by her expression that she was downcast, probably crying a lot. It's a shame, I hope she recovers.
"Good evening, Miss."
"Only Ana, Thiago!"
"How are you, Ana? I'm sorry about all of this."
"I know you are. Please come in!" She makes way for me to enter, dragging the suitcase that Mrs. Julia packed with Ana's things.
"Ana, I came here to bring this suitcase at Mr. Fuentes' request."
"He was very fast, Thiago!"
"I'm sorry, Ana, but I just follow orders."
"I know that, but still, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. Now I have to go, I just came to deliver this suitcase."
"Don't you want to have a drink?" I take the opportunity to start a conversation with him. I always liked Thiago, he was always very polite to me and treated me well. I have nothing against him.
"No, Ana, thank you. Take care of yourself, okay? Now I really have to go!"
"I'll be fine, Thiago. Thank you for caring!"
I left the apartment and left her there, dejected and sad. I could see by her gaze at the suitcase how disappointed she was. But I couldn't do anything but what I was told to do.
She-
I left Ana alone, but I'm very worried about her. I can't believe Fuentes asked her to have an abortion. I didn't want to leave her alone, but I also couldn't change my shift at the last minute.
It makes me sad to hear that my friend is leaving for France. She could stay and face this one head on, but I also understand how hard it would be to live in a city where her ex-boyfriend is everywhere. I wish I could punch him in the face, but my friend would never allow me to do that.
As soon as Thiago returned from Ana Paula's house, I called him to find out how she was doing. She she's probably doing great, thinking she fooled me. She must believe she secured a comfortable life, but she's mistaken if she thinks she deceived me."Yes, sir!""Did you hand over the belongings in person?""Yes, sir!""And how was she?""Quite downcast, sir! I'm sure it was all an act to make Thiago rush back and tell me, hoping I would feel sorry for her.""Downcast, huh?""Yes, sir!""Okay, you may leave!"Thiago is a very good man, and Ana knows it very well. That's why I believe she put on an act to make him believe. She used her kindness to make him rush and tell me, thinking I would pity her. To hell with her and her dela despondency, I'm not falling for it, not at all. I am a man of my word. When I told her that if she ever got pregnant, I would leave her, I meant it, and I will keep my word on her. I don't want to see Ana in front of me, not even if she's covered in gold."I'm
I look back and see my friend crying her heart out, but I can't do anything. There's no more room for me and my baby in this city. I'm equally heartbroken, just like Ella, but I need to go or I won't have peace. I know Diego won't give me peace if I stay here. He will try to pressure me into terminating my pregnancy, and I couldn't do something as monstrous as he proposed.Boarding the plane and I finally let my tears flow. That's not what I really wanted. I'm leaving my life behind to start from scratch in a country I barely know. I only made a few visits when I stayed with my father. Well, living in Paris won't be so bad. Ana living in Paris, who would have thought? It actually looks quite interesting considering I don't speak a word of French.At least I will have my father by my side, giving me all the support I need. I know he's going to want to know every detail of this pregnancy. I'm going to say the basics so he won't be too disappointed, and I don't want that.Throughout the
After a warm and delightful shower, I feel cozy. I put on clothes appropriate for the temperature and headed downstairs. I needed to clarify things with my father. Despite all the kindness and affection he has for me, he deserves to know the truth."Hi, Dad, can we talk?""Of course, daughter, sit here next to me!"I sit next to my father, who holds my hand and caresses it. He's always so affectionate with me and my sister. He has never raised his voice at me or my sister. With him, everything has always been through conversation. It has always been that way, and I knew it wouldn't be any different now."You see, Dad, I met a guy a while ago, and we started dating, and I ended up getting pregnant.""Yes, and?""Well, he doubted that the child was his and that I was trying to trap him because he's wealthy.""Ana, who is this jerk?""Well, Dad, it's not even worth mentioning his name, and I want to forget about him.""I want to have a good talk with this guy. He may not take responsibil
After a good night's sleep, the first in several days where I could actually rest peacefully, I truly feel at home and at peace with my decisions.I went downstairs and had a cup of coffee that my father had prepared before leaving. My father owns a restaurant here in Paris, and he always leaves early and comes back late. Maybe with me here, he'll be able to have a more flexible work schedule. Now that everything is settled, I think it's time to share the good news with my mother.I dial the number, and her husband Bob answers. He's a good person, just for putting up with my mother he deserves that title, as she can be quite difficult. It's no wonder my father decided to separate from her. I hear her voice in the background, so it's the moment of truth. I'll be direct before she starts screaming in my ears. Fortunately, I'm here in France, and she's in Georgia. She takes the phone and before responding, she says a few things to Bob, who seems displeased. But before he can say anything
A few months later...- Ana, are you going to work until the day you have this baby, my daughter?- Of course not dad, I'm going to take leave a month earlier, I'm still six months old and I'm feeling very well, and dad understand once and for all pregnancy is not a disease.- But your belly is huge, it looks like there are about 10 babies in there. My father says laughing.- You know very well that there's only one in here, your beautiful grandson.- Beautiful I know he will be, even more if he takes after his mother. And if you take the father too, because if there's something I can't deny, it's that Diego is beautiful.- Of course I know I'm beautiful.- And Ana, how long are you going to continue without telling me who the father of your child is?- Dad, let's not go back to this subject again, I already told you I will be a father and mother to my son, nobody needs to know who the father is but me.- Sooner or later you'll end up telling me who he is.- Dad now I have to go.- Yo
It's been a few months since Ana just disappeared, and she didn't give any signs of life, I tried to call her a few times, but I only got a voicemail, my world just turned upside down after that blessed day that she said she was pregnant, ever since that fateful day I had no more news from that crazy woman. I think she tried to hit me, and she wasn't pregnant at all, as I didn't fall, she disappeared, it was better that way, at least I don't have to see her face anymore, I just wanted to be able to continue my life in peace, but she I can't get out of my head, I dream about that devil, I wake up and soon she's in my thoughts, I find myself thinking about her during the day, it's making me restless and a little lost, but I'll manage to forget about her, take your time need it, but when I least expect it this crazy feeling I feel for her will disappear the same way she disappeared from my life. I've been going out clubbing, but none I've been with is Ana, not even close to what I felt
Maria -My name is Maria, I'm 23 years old, I'm a model and Suzana's sister, it was through her that I met Diego, but at the time he was dating, so he wouldn't even look at me, much less trust me, even though I practically threw myself on top of him, that dull of his ex, yes ex, my sister told me that she just disappeared without giving satisfaction, how is a woman able to leave Diego like that out of nowhere? She must be a big madwoman, that's all.I know it's her problem, if she decided to abandon and let that big cat loose around, now I'm sure I'll have my big chance with him and I'll grab it tooth and nail, my brother-in-law is going to propose to my sister today and with that our families will be reunited, it will be a surprise, my sister knows absolutely nothing, I'm going to put on my best dress, because tonight will be more than special, both for my sister and for me, this is the night that I hold my Fuentes once and for all.I know he's needy and I'm going to take advantage o
I've just got ready and even though I don't feel like it, there I go, heading to my parents' house, I don't know how much dinner this is, they make a point of getting the family and some friends together every month, I don't have much patience for these meetings , but if I don't go, they'll come, and all I don't need is them here at home, today I dismissed Thiago, because I don't intend to stay too long, I'll take the time for everyone to see me and as soon as dinner is over I sneak out and send myself. I took my car and headed towards my parents' house, which is a little far from mine, I put on some music to try to distract myself on the way, when I realize I'm like an idiot singing the song and worst of all it's a romantic song , I don't know what I became after Ana disappeared, it's hard to admit but I miss that devil a lot, never has a woman moved me as much as Ana did, but I already understood that she wasn't meant to stay in my life, so I need to get real and move on with my li
