Antony picked up Giovanna when he realized she wasn’t waking up and carried her back to the vehicle, placing her unconscious in the passenger seat. He only noticed that his hands were trembling when he grasped the steering wheel to drive to the hospital.The journey there was tense and filled with negative thoughts. Giovanna remained unconscious, while Antony’s phone vibrated insistently beside him. He repeatedly glanced at the screen, aware that Roberta urgently wanted to speak to him. However, Antony refused to stop talking to anyone until Giovanna was fine.He drove to a private hospital where one of the best doctors was his longtime friend. Not only that, but he picked up Giovanna again, realizing that her body temperature had dropped significantly. He feared she might die in his arms, even leaning his face toward her nostrils just to make sure Giovanna was breathing. He rushed into the reception area, where he saw a nurse and pleaded, “I need help,” his trembling voice revealing

When the maid knocked on the door, Antony realized that the day had dawned without him even having slept. He instructed her to come in and found his almost naked boss in front of her. She quickly turned around, so she couldn’t see him in his intimate moment, and only then said,“Dr. Caleb called this morning to inform that Mrs. Giovanna has been discharged,” she began making his bed. “What happened to Mrs. Giovanna?”Tania, even forgot that Antony was her boss, turned around this time without surprises; he was already dressed and had a concerned look on his face.Antony didn’t want to answer that question, let alone talk about Giovanna. He clenched his jaw, and silence was what Tania got for a few seconds.“Mrs. Giovanna is no longer your employer for you to worry about her,” he was harsh with his words, “and if Caleb calls again, tell him I have other priorities than to worry about a traitor.”Antony hurried out of the room, already ready for work. He left Tania behind with a complet

Antony quickly walked towards Giovanna and grabbed her by the arm, dragging her away from everyone without any ceremony.“What do you think you’re doing?” she forced him to let go of her, now outside the office.“Preventing you from making a foolish mistake,” he said, staring at her too closely. “You don’t even know if they’re telling the truth or if there’s another will, which I doubt my father made.”“That guy inside claims to be your brother,” her comment infuriated Antony. “And he looks a lot like Nicolau.”Antony almost opened his mouth to insult her, but he gave up. He had many other things on his mind to discuss with Giovanna and couldn’t afford to waste more time.“It seems you’ve recovered very quickly from last night’s illness,” he was ironic because he knew it annoyed Giovanna, “funny that Matteo, whom you claim to be the father of this child, has no knowledge of your pregnancy.”Antony’s comment made Giovanna’s blood freeze in her veins. She turned red, like a child caught

Giovanna saw it as a threat. Antony was using her pregnancy as an advantage to get what he wanted, but she wouldn’t give in so easily. She would have seventy-two hours to make him humble himself before her.“Of course, you would use this pregnancy for your own benefit,” there was deep sadness in her voice. “That’s why I didn’t tell you that the child I was expecting was yours.”Antony’s expression changed with the weight of Giovanna’s words.“You’re mistaken, Giovanna,” he whispered. “If I’m saying these things, it’s precisely because I care about your pregnancy.”“You only care about the money, Antony,” her eyes filled with tears. “You married me just to secure your father’s inheritance, and now you want to repeat the same mistake out of fear of losing everything.”Instantly, he lowered his head, as if he couldn’t say anything. Giovanna was correct, but there was something unknown about him that not even Antony could understand.“I don’t know if I can do this again,” her words made h

Xavier was concerned. He wasn't concerned about Nicolau's will or the supposed half-brother, but about the effect of Giovanna's new marriage on her life.“You never told me that this young man was showing interest in you,” he decided to break the tension that surely haunted her. “What are his true intentions?”But there was weight in Xavier’s words, and Giovanna felt it.“Why does it matter now?” she asked, a bit annoyed. “I’m pregnant with Antony’s child and about to marry him again. Even if Matteo were the love of my life, I could never be with him.”“Do you love him?” the question came with a hurried and concerned tone.Giovanna stared into Xavier’s eyes as if lost in the answer. When she finally spoke, the words came out slowly and with a sad tone.“I don’t love him,” she lowered her gaze to her hands, observing her whitened fingers. “Matteo is a good man; he even agreed to raise a child that isn’t his just to be with me. But I can’t accept that.”Xavier carefully analyzed her wor
