We were sitting in the brunch room at the Social Club. It was our favorite spot. Security guards were scattered around the place, keeping an eye on us, but they gave us privacy to talk. The girls wanted to know every sordid detail of my wedding night. And of course, I was more than happy to share with them how handsome, romantic, and attentive my husband was."And you, Mel, how's it been living with Nando?" I asked, but I already knew my friend was happy."Oh, Cat, my Nando is a prince!" my friend sighed. "He's the kind of guy who brings me breakfast in bed, prepares romantic surprises, treats me like a queen!""Nando is such a gentleman, Mel," Taís agreed."And you, Sam, things with Miguel went bad, right?" Virgínia asked."Ví, I even went out with him a couple of times, but I wasn't comfortable and nothing happened, so he told me he was going to back off because he didn't want to wait for me to make up my mind," Samantha explained."He was rude to you, and I apologize for that. I di

Girls' night out was great, I had fun and completely forgot about that bizarre order I'd received. When the girls and I decided to call it a night, I called my husband, and within five minutes, six tall, gorgeous men were surrounding us. Manu tried to convince Flávio she shouldn't go home, but he bent down, threw her over his shoulder, and walked away. After that, Heitor threatened to do the same to Sam, who gave up and left, pulling him by the hand. When we got home, my husband kept his promise that morning and did crazy things to my body, practically keeping me awake."You know I love watching you get ready," Alessandro said from the bed.He was sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard, his torso bare, a thin sheet draped over his hips, his hands clasped behind his head. My husband was hot!"Oh, really?"And why? I asked, walking up to him in just lingerie, thigh-high stockings, and mint green high heels."Because I know I'll take it all off later. It's like unwrapping a pre

The week flew by, we were working a lot, but thankfully everything was calm. On Friday morning, Jorge informed us that the house was ready and we could move in. We decided to invite our friends over and move in over the weekend, hosting a Sunday lunch and gathering them by the pool. It was a lot of fun. Everyone was so excited, and it was a beautiful day.I was wearing a new, loose-fitting dress. I was already entering my fourth month of pregnancy, and my belly was already showing. My clothes were already uncomfortable. So, during the week, I called the girls over and we went shopping.But I was getting increasingly tired, and Alessandro started insisting that I stop working until the baby was born. At first, I didn't want to. When I was pregnant with Pedro, I worked until almost the day he was born, I didn't feel anything unusual, and I had energy. But this time, I was experiencing every conceivable symptom of pregnancy, so I started thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to slo

“Alessandro”It had been two days since I'd received the call from Moreno informing me about the siege at Junqueira and his visit to Ana Carolina. I told Catarina that the police were closing in. She was very bored, having to stay in bed until the end of her pregnancy. She'd been in bed for over fifteen days. Her belly seemed to be getting bigger every day, and she didn't have much energy. I started working from home as much as possible, so as not to leave her alone. And our friends were here every day.It was already mid-afternoon, and I had to go to work. I kissed my wife, one on her belly, and another on my beautiful son lying next to his mother, who assured me she would take good care of him. Pedro was a smart, happy boy, and I was more and more amazed by how intelligent and well-behaved he was.I arrived at the company, sorted everything out, and was having coffee with Patrício when my phone rang. It was Flávio."Hey, Chief Moreno. To what do I owe the honor?" I answered in a goo

After my parents returned to Campanário, I told Alessandro I wanted to visit Nando in the hospital. He didn't like the idea, saying I had to rest, but I said I wouldn't make any effort since I had a wheelchair to move around. Alessandro accompanied me, and when we arrived, Nando was with his mother. It was a quick visit, but I was happy to see my friend.I took advantage of the fact that I was already out and convinced my husband that I needed to go to the mall to buy some things we still needed for our children. He wasn't happy about it, especially since he couldn't accompany me, but I assured him I would be fine with the security guards and that I would meet the girls there."Please, love, I need to go out for a bit. I'm going crazy staying at home all the time doing nothing," I asked, pouting."Okay, my angel. But don't take too long. Be careful and don't stray too far from the security guards." – Alessandro could be bossy when he wanted to be.I met my friends at the mall and we w
