— Lisa, Lisa — she repeated my name over and over, but I no longer knew if the pain of the soul was equal to or worse than the physical.— Here I am, just trying not to think, and believing faithfully that my son will be born on time, that nothing bad will happen — I replied, trying not to worry Clara even more.— You're too pale, do you really think you can hold on, or should I call someone to help us? — she said, concerned.— No, don't call anyone. I know I can still hold on, I know he won't be born now, I know he won't die, something within my mother's conscience confirms it to me, — I replied, and calling myself a mother moved me; it was the first time I assumed it with such faith.— And Thiago — she murmured.— Thiago, my good Thiago, as I used to call him, he was a fundamental piece for me to give up the idea of aborting. It's one of the reasons why I love him as someone completely special. I say love because I don't know if you can love so quickly, but his actions towards me ha
— He's not here, Lisa, he's not here in the hallway — She said worriedly.— You realize, that's why I'm telling you that nothing good is happening — I replied nervously.— Stay here, for God's sake, don't move, I'll go look for him, I'll be back quickly — She warned as she closed the door without waiting for me to affirm that I would stay waiting, but I did, partly conscious of the danger, and because I was physically exhausted too.Twenty-six minutes after Clara Lucía left, I felt like a caged bird until I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, I ran to the door and opened it, it was them, with wide-eyed faces, Clara Lucía was crying and Diego looked tired, completely overwhelmed.They entered the room in silence, only Clara Lucía's sobbing was the only noise, I looked at them dumbfounded, with a blank mind, waiting to be told the bad news.— What's happening? — I asked.— Answer me, tell me what happened with Thiago — I pleaded nervously.— Thiago might lose the agency, Esmeralda has
Finally, we arrived at the airport, completed all the necessary travel requirements, although it was quite complicated for me due to my pregnancy, as I was asked many questions before being allowed to board the plane. Around seven in the evening, our plane took off for Mexico, and in three and a half hours, we were in my country. I finally felt at ease, although I was extremely exhausted. Other of Thiago's bodyguards were waiting for us there, and they took us to a house near the agency. We spent the remainder of the night there, I had many things to think about, and I even felt overwhelmed because Thiago hadn't shown up, but I was so tired that I ended up falling asleep almost immediately.The next morning, I woke up early, showered, and got ready, waiting for Thiago's instructions. Lisa and Diego slept in late; they were two sex-loving guys, so I assumed they were recovering from their party from the night before.— Thiago, please, if you can, communicate with me — I wrote in a text
Upon my question, Thiago continued driving in silence, not responding at all, not even daring to look me in the face. His attitude seemed very strange and worrisome to me.— Thiago, I'm talking to you, I just asked you something, please answer me — I insisted, touching his shoulder.— What can I tell you, Lisa, maybe I had many things going on at that time, besides, if we had done something back then, we wouldn't be together now. After all, it was your unexpected pregnancy that brought us together — he assured while running his hand through his hair nervously.— I told you several times that I wanted to sue them, so why didn't you help me? I don't understand — I insisted because I couldn't shake off the confusion or anger I felt about realizing just now that he had a connection with that clinic.— I already answered you, Lisa, I don't understand why you want so many explanations. Or are you regretting your decision? — he asked ironically, and I had to stay silent at that. Thiago's att
I couldn't help but worry about how my parents would be feeling after finding out about my pregnancy through in vitro fertilization, something I knew they wouldn't believe. Additionally, it distressed me to know that we wouldn't be seeing them until the whole trial matter was resolved. However, my two friends were astonished by Thiago's arrival. He was too admired by society, so they couldn't resist asking. They were eager to know how he had conquered the magnate, as I had previously confessed to them that I felt defeated and thought it was impossible to achieve. Furthermore, James knew that I had gone to California convinced that Thiago wouldn't be for me, so this encounter was confusing to him.— How did you fall in love with Lisa? — James asked, hesitating a bit, as it was unusual to engage in such a conversation with someone they only admired, whom they knew from television appearances or magazines, and who was now in an old apartment in front of him, holding hands with his best f
— Baby, wake up, it's urgent — she repeated over and over again.I knew that only because something serious was happening would Clara Lucía dare to interrupt my sleep, as she was the one who insisted the most that I needed rest.— What's going on? — I asked sleepily as I got up to open the door.— Well, baby, that stuck-up Esmeralda has come — she whispered behind the door. Her words made me hasten my steps and quickly open the door.— Is she inside the house? — I shouted while locking the door.— She's outside ringing the doorbell, we saw her through the peephole in the door. Diego confirmed it's her. As you know, I don't know her, and he asked me to let you know — she said nervously.— Damn it! I knew this was not a good idea — I muttered, throwing myself back on the bed and putting my hand on my forehead, starting to feel too sweaty from the heat and fear.— Diego has already informed Thiago, but as you know, he has to drive to the lawyer's office and hasn't seen the message, nor h
Hearing the word "court" terrified me, as although I had faced Esmeralda face to face, I had never been before a judge who would ask me thousands of questions. Everything was becoming more confusing, and I didn't want to make any mistakes.— Tell Thiago to come, he needs to know what has happened — I replied, holding my belly which was starting to ache too much, perhaps due to the disturbance caused by the visit.— He'll surely come soon, Lisa. As I said, he's probably just arriving at the lawyer's office, we need to ensure that the trial happens as soon as possible, before you give birth — Diego commented, looking worried as I shifted position due to the immense pain in my stomach.— Lisa, are you okay? — Clara asked, amazed, as she approached me. I could only feel the weight of her hands on my back.— No — I managed to say with a dry voice. Clara and Diego held me. I remember feeling their skin brushing against mine as they lifted me and laid me back on the bed.— You can't get sick
— Esmeralda came to the office and assaulted me, she is desperate, she only needed to confirm that you were pregnant, and she repeated what you told her, it hurt me that you said that, and not that you love me, but that doesn't matter now, she threw a soda I was carrying and also water, she hit me — I looked down at this, I felt very bad, for having provoked so much.— And what did he say? When will the trial take place? — I asked extremely worried, I was trembling, I thought that if Esmeralda had been able to do that with Thiago, how much more would she hurt me, and my son.- Tomorrow will be the trial, my child, tomorrow everything will be all right - she said tenderly as she took me into her arms and kissed my forehead, I felt comfort and fear, I didn't know what would happen.— Is there any hope, will our lie really do any good, have you got the results yet? — I asked desperately, everything was making me more and more impatient, and I just wanted to get out of it, and live my love
