It was the first time that something had confused her that way, she did not understand what had really happened, she was paralyzed in front of the boy, frozen, unable to continue her walk through the corridor of the spacious mansion. For a few seconds she felt suspended from the floor and intense heat rose from her feet to her head. Only with much effort did she manage to get out of there feeling completely invaded by that look. Luciano was a man of twenty-five years, tall.

Athletic body and a physical posture that can sigh any woman's breath. His honey-colored eyes and a well-detailed beard on his face enchanted the young woman who for the first time found herself dominated by masculine charm and finally discovered the dominating power of passion. What the innocent girl did not know was that first love always disappoints more than any other and carries the mark of pain, deception and illusion on the packaging. That gleam in the eyes of the young millionaire could even represent the realization of a dream for an almost naive girl, who had just left poverty to live the fantasy of a Cinderella.

But deep down it was just a deep chasm where she would certainly fall and descend until she hit her head on the tip full of stones and thorns, causing the most intense emotional wound in her being. The girl who was barely eighteen returned to work still confused in her feelings, seeing that the prince charming in the hallway of the mansion amazed her, when she went to live there, she did not imagine that her lover had an adult son and, therefore, beautiful.

See how things are going — she thought, while taking care of Pedro in another room in the house — before always trying to run over a rich man she met at school, she planned to force a pregnancy and secure a millionaire marriage. And now she thanked God for not working, especially after hearing her parents' outburst.  In addition to discovering that her mother acted the same way and ended up frustrated for the rest of her life. Now fate placed her in the middle of a family that was much more powerful economically and in front of a charming boy.

But the memory of the words of the mother who advised him not to step on the ball, in order not to embarrass the father's name in front of the bosses, kept echoing in his mind. He was unable to hesitate and give reasons for Senhora Luiza to step on her head, put her failure on Carlos face and ironically say: I didn't warn you! None of this, she would know how to behave with dignity. Did she really know?

— Hi, how are things going here, any news?

— Doctor Luciano, what a pleasure to have you back at this house, is more mature, more beautiful

— Come on, you don't need that much formality with me, you've been living here since I was born and you know I was always the most beautiful man in the world

— Yes, I know, the usual one!

— But, explain to me, who is that beauty that I came across in the hall just now?

— Who, the daughter of Carlos?

— And who is that?

— The porter, boy!

— Ah, I know, I remember him. It's a beautiful tomboy

— Look, don't make fun of the girl, she is even smaller!

— Oh really? That size? I thought I had more than twenty

— And there is something else, the girl comes from a poor family, from the slum. It is certainly not your level and neither the boss will approve the involvement of the two of you

— Calm down, I didn't say I'm going to date the girl

— I know very well what kind of cheap conqueror you have become, you darn, I know your fame up close!

— Definitely the women in this house do not see me with good eyes

— Maybe because my little brother is the naughty type!

— Mrs. Sandra, do you want me to have something prepared for you?

— Stop with this lady, I'm only twenty-three years old

— Now that we spent some years in France, she sees us as if we were her bosses

— Now, and they happen to be?

— You are in this house since I got along, I see you more as a grandmother than as a maid

— Look, you'll end up accustoming me badly, when I start to play grandma don't complain!

— But you were always a boring old woman with all of us, worse than our grandmothers

— Well, keep an eye on that hired brother of yours, see?

— Oh yeah, and why?

— You're getting mad at a girl who works here at the mansion, she just bumped into her in one of the halls of the house

— But what a craze you have to go on hitting on every woman that crosses your path, my brother! And who is this girl?

— She was hired by the boss to take care of your little brother

— Pedro? There, I saw her when I went to see him, that girl was really beautiful. But don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this cheap conqueror

— You don't really change did you have to report me to that jealous little sister?

— That's why I said, so she keeps an eye on you, you kid!

— But look, it even changed the way of treating me, where did Dr Luciano end up?

— The cat ate, didn't he ask me to stop formality? Now let's get out of the kitchen, let the employees work. Come on! Come on!

Joana was the oldest employee in the house and became a type of housekeeper. Mendes' children lived abroad for many years, attending college in France, Patricia graduated in Medicine and Luciano in Law, despite her young age. In the weeks that followed Luciano and Nathalia meetings around the mansion's wide space were almost constant and, when that didn't happen naturally, they always managed to provide a way to see each other. Joana and Patricia were watching and seeing the danger that the young woman ran in becoming another statistic in the huge list of women victims of the gallantry of Brother Conqueror, decided to warn her to avoid an end where she would regret the folly.

— Hi, we’ve introduced ourselves, I’m your boss’s daughter

— Yes, Dona Patricia, I remember

— It doesn't need so much formality, we are equally young, call me Patricia

— Okay, I'm sorry

— Nathalia, isn't it?

— Yes

— I came to you because we need to have a very serious conversation

— Did I do something wrong?

— Not yet, I hope ... But from what I've realized, you risk doing it and I'm here to try to stop it

— Okay, then explain to me what this is about

— It's about your visible interest in my brother. This is extremely dangerous for your happiness, girl

— Sorry, but I'm not interested in ...

— Do not play the game, girl, you know what I'm talking about. Not only me, but other employees of the house have already realized that the two of you have been meeting on purpose in the corridors and that you no longer stay at your place of work any longer. He has been leaving my brother Pedro alone in his room to move around the other rooms hoping to find Luciano, even hearing rumors that they are making out.

— No, believe me, it hasn't happened yet!

— Still? This means that it is about to happen, right? Look here young lady, pay close attention to what I am going to tell you: Luciano is my older brother, but he does not have a minimum of judgment in that head.

It is unpredictable, adventurous and quite irresponsible, especially when dealing with women. There is a huge row of them crying out their virginities thrown away and you will be next on his list if you don't get out of the abyss as soon as possible

— Don't worry, Patricia, I'll avoid

— Understand one thing: I am not telling you these things in order to discriminate against you.

 Claiming that you do not have the same social level as him, but to avoid seeing another girl being used and then discarded by a man who seems give no value to women. Also, think of all the harm this will cause you, such as your expulsion by my mother from that house, your father's resignation and the shame you will bring to your family. Without considering the risk of an unwanted pregnancy

— No, God forbid, that would be terrible!

— So, make sense and set your feet on the ground, no crazy adventures, girl!

— Okay, thanks for the advice

— It was not advice, Nathalia, but warnings

The sermon heard from Patricia was as if it were a slap in the face of Nathalia who trembled at the base, she seemed to be listening to her mother playing in her face that she only served to make trouble wherever she went, she felt her cold blood in her veins and for a second he saw the world collapse on his hard head.

Things were going very well and it would not be prudent on your part to put everything to waste. His father, Carlos, risked the good reputation he had for years with that family just to get him a job opportunity, he could not disappoint him.

He remembered his mother's harsh words when warning him of the risk that it would be to put her there, how could he allow her to be right? However, would it be right to give up that rich opportunity? After all, who could guarantee that Patricia was telling the truth about her brother? What if I was just interested in making her give up on him for being poor? What if he was indeed a scoundrel? Or, if on the contrary, in the end it had character? There were so many doubts, so many questions going through your confused mind ...

The truth would appear right before your eyes at the right time, but at that moment you would have to live with all those uncertainties, because everything in life happens at its right time. The routine followed its normal course, took care of little Pedro and peace still reigned around. Patricia and Joana kept watching the two young people, however, the teenager started to avoid the usual encounters with the seductive Luciano through the halls of the mansion. Well, at least for a while.

— It seems that the girl has lowered the fire and has been dodging Luciano

— I had a serious conversation with her, days ago

— Was it? So, the girl's sudden behavior change is explained. But Patricia, you don't waste any time, do you?

— Knowing my brother as I do, Joana, I could not just cross my arms and see another maid being abused by that adventurer

— You did the right thing, my daughter, I hope she follows your advice., do it to the letter and avoid the worst

— I explained the situation well, if you insist you will break your face as it has happened with the others who passed by this house before and the bad luck will be all hers

— Yes, because his parents will not allow him to marry a girl of her level, a slum

— Not even far, Joana, the damage will be only that poor girl

The two women talked while watching Pedro and his assistant playing in one of the many toys displayed in the mansion's courtyard.

 There was a huge contrast between the expression of joy in the little autistic and the apparent sadness on Nathalia face.

— Mom is right, Pedro very happy in the company of this girl

— Yeah, we can't deny it, so it will be a great loss if the worst happens

— It won't happen, Joana, I won't allow it

— I do not know...

The maid doubted the young woman's ability to escape the bad influence of the conqueror because she knew him very well, she had never before known a single of her victims to resist his charm. Rich, good looking and terribly seductive.

A plate full to the ambitious eyes of the poor girls of the city or naive of the countryside, who feed the bad idea that a man like that will give them the due value and put a ring on his left hand, take them to the altar and share with them part of your assets.

In fact, the reality is different, famous marry famous and rich with millionaires. Everything is a matter of pure financial interest, the power of money is the loudest in their world, passion and love are far from their ideals. Despite choosing to live in the mansion, in order to be able to be more present with the autistic boy, Nathalia was entitled to a free day every month.

 To return to the parents' house, visit the family. That particular Sunday she left the mansion, when, when passing through the entrance, she realized that Luciano's car, who proposed to give her a ride, stopped beside her. At first, she refused, but due to the boy's enormous insistence he gave in and agreed that he should take her home. After he started working, he joined forces with his father and brother, building a new home, with more space and comfort.

It was possible to give a room for each of them and buy new furniture. A stove and a brand, new refrigerator for your mother, in addition to other advantages. So, he had no ceremony to take the new playboy there, which made the neighborhood's eyes widen and gossip, as they immediately imagined he was her new boyfriend or lover.

Throughout the journey from the city center to the poor neighborhood located on the outskirts, Luciano tried in every way to convince the girl to allow him more space in his life, however, remembering Patricia guidelines she avoided as much as she could. Finally, they arrived at the destination and after thanking the ride and avoiding a forced kiss, he left the luxurious car and went to his parents' house under the strong eyes of the envious.

— Hi my sister, I was waiting for you, tell me the news!

— There are many, a full bucket! Hi dad, hi mom...

— Is there no more "father blessing" and "mother blessing"? This youth of today ...

— Blessing grandpa, how are you, all in peace?

— Um, God give you judgment, you crazy!

— Ah, ah, ah, always in a bad mood! And my grandmother, how are you?

— It goes well, I didn't want to come, it stayed there with the chickens and the pigs. He asked when her favorite granddaughter will have the cadence to visit her, I said it will only be after she is dead and buried

— Any weekend like that, I'm going to visit her, it won't be long

— Come, Patricia, I want to know everything ...

The two sisters go up to the upper floor of the new house, which is wider and more comfortable. Christina continued her studies and was already in the first year of medical school, got a scholarship and studied at the largest and most important State University. She got her own room after the construction, and she was always grateful for all the help she received, as well as being curious about the older sister's unknown current life.

— Wow, your room looks like a stuffed animal store

— Ah, look who's talking, did you happen to send this bunch of animals?

— They were from Pedro, son of the boss, he didn't want more and they were going to be thrown away, so I asked. Imagine, all this being thrown in the trash, what a waste!

— No doubt. But come on, woman, tell me the news!

— Wow, my sister, I won't even tell you. When I went to live in the mansion, I did not imagine that my bosses had other children besides Pedro

— Dammit, is there?

— Yes, a couple who were studying abroad in Paris

— Caracas, these Mendes are important people, right? It's my big dream to know France, to walk around the Eiffel Tower ...

— Hey, hello, go back to earth, woman!

— Let me dream a little!

— You are an intelligent, studious woman, you are already graduating as a doctor. In a few years you will get along and be able to go wherever you want, to see the whole world

— God hear you ... But, continue where I interrupted you

— It turns out that now they have returned here and are in the mansion

— They who?

— Oh, Chris, tune you woman! The mistress's children!

— Yes, So, sis, what does that worry you about?

— Well, it turns out that the boy is a charm, a real prince!

— Nathalia do Valle, you have your mind! Remember everything our mother said on the day Dad decided to put you inside that house, he won't let her have a chance to step on him

— I know, I thought of all that, but he hasn't left me alone since the first day we met

— Is your mistress's son hitting on you?

— Girl, when we ran into one of the mansion's corridors I almost died of fright!

— But didn't you say that the boy is the biggest presence?

— Oh, what a donkey you got, huh? Where's my great little sister, disappeared?

— Sorry, but my intelligence is in another area

— The unfortunate is darn beautiful, that's the big problem, it's hard to resist his charm! Today when he left the mansion, he offered to bring me here and he was so insistent that he couldn't refuse, I ended up accepting

— Did anything happen between you while you came here?

— No, he tried to kiss me, but I refused

— Good God, my sister, I already saw that things will not end well for you

— I don't know what to do, every time I approach him, I lose my head and just think about throwing myself in his arms

— Can't you see that this is a huge bore? When will a thin man, a millionaire and have the woman he wants in life take his relationship with a poor girl like you seriously? You lost track of things, did you? He will only use you and then throw it away

— You're talking just like Patricia

— And who is that?

— His sister came to me a few days ago to warn that his brother is a bad character, who has a habit of abusing maids and then leaving

— Good heavens, the sister herself has already stated that the individual sucks!

— Yes, sis, but what if she is only trying to get away from him because I am poor?

— It touches you, my sister, if that were the reason it was enough to have revealed what was happening to the parents and they would send you away once and for all

— You think?...

— Of course, girl, in my opinion she only tried to help you by knowing the attitudes of her bad character

— Oh, Chris, I'm lost and not knowing what to do

— It's always like that, the poor little girl dreaming of being a Cinderella. Wake up my sister, fairy tales don't exist in the real world!

— I'll confess something to you, sis, I think for the first time I'm really in love

— Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Now screw it!

— I totally chipped!

The conversation continued for several hours, Christina tried to convince her sister to give up trying to live that dangerous love story and to guard against a possible disappointment. On the other hand, Nathalia said she had no strength to renounce her feelings for Luciano, she felt completely overwhelmed by passion that invaded her heart from the first moment that her gaze merged with his.

After opening up with Chris, he talked to his friend Virginia, the confidant who was his neighbor, and received from her the same advice that he should really run away from such a precipice. However, the advice he received seemed to be unable to find a place in his confused and ambitious mind because of the unlikely possibility of doing well in life.

The truth is that the teenager still had the desire to marry a millionaire and become an important person in society, she knew that this was possible due to the immense beauty she possessed. But, what he did not realize was that this purpose could throw him at the bottom of the well. On Monday she returns to the workplace, where the daily routine resumes. That night, she was already in her rooms, when she was past twenty-two o'clock, she heard footsteps in the narrow corridor that led to her room located in an isolated part of the other rooms of the mansion. Believing it was Joana, who used to pass by to check that all the employees who slept there were properly accommodated.

 She opens the door to ask the housekeeper for permission to go to the kitchen in search of something to eat, as she inexplicably felt very hungry, despite to have dined. However, it was not the elderly woman, but an unexpected figure who intended to find her there, in order to get closer. As soon as she became visible at the entrance to her room, she was pushed back inside by two strong hands, it was Luciano who used the opportunity to steal a moment of caresses or something much more serious than that.

The girl was pushed back inside her rooms and leaning against one of the walls, there she was suffocated by an unexpected kiss and when she felt the curl of that light beard with a mustache on her lips and the smell of the French perfume that exhaled in her nostrils, he immediately identified it as the charming young man who boldly decided to invade the place to steal his charms as a woman. Lost between the fright of the invasion and the pleasure of being kissed by that prince charming, she was not sure if she screamed or gave herself up completely. Doubt was dominated and for the first time was kissed madly

He tried to throw her on the bed, she resisted as long as she could, he persisted relentlessly and no longer had the strength to refuse what his body also wanted, burning inside with the flames of desire that consumed her uncontrollably, ended up allowing her to lie on the bed. that bed's soft mattress while she was undressed.

Those huge, yet soft hands caressed her body, shivering from the intensity of the pleasure she felt with each touch, her fingers slid over his warm, virgin skin, still untouched and possessed. The boy was experienced, he knew how to drive a woman crazy by the loving touch and at the same time manly, strong, electrifying! In a few minutes she was totally naked on the bed, without the nightgown and underwear she was wearing before.

It became an easy prey, tied by the heart to an almost unknown lover who arrived in his life to stay. She was lost, there was no longer any connection in her mind with prudence or reality, she fell down the precipice, into the vague illusion of first love. Not even the fact that the door to the room had been unlocked prevented her from surrendering, she was not worried about the worst, the words of her mother who long ago warned of that danger resonated for a few seconds in her subconscious, her voice seemed to be real, but the whisper of that hot mouth at the base of her ears was stronger, more intense, much more powerful and controlled her.

— Stop, please!

— I will not stop I know you want ...

— Good God, help me ...

— I am your god, your desire, your passion ...

—Then own me right away, at once ...

Gradually his purity is undone, his intimacy feels invaded, he acts delicately, but with all the strength he needs to fully enter his bowels and allow passage for incomparable pleasure.

 That first experience lasted only a few hours, but it seemed like an eternity, now it was entirely his. But did he also belong to you? That answer would only give time to the naive girl who made the terrible mistake of believing that it was possible to live a beautiful love story with an adventurer, unable to love and care for the feelings of those with whom she just had fun, without any other pretensions. Those meetings continued to take place for some time in the wee hours of the night, always at the risk of being seen by someone.

 Especially by Joana, who used to move around the mansion keeping an eye on other employees. The housekeeper suffered from insomnia and spent part of the night wandering the halls. The irresponsibility of the young philanderer was so great that he was not even careful to use a condom at the time of sexual intercourse in order to avoid a possible pregnancy.

And she, without any experience in the matter, gave herself to him several times without worrying about this detail, because she was sure that in case this were to happen, they would get married, since surely the boy would not leave a child in the abandonment. And, in her stupid way of thinking, even if that were to happen her parents would not abandon her with a grandson in the womb, as he would be a Mendes and that name was extremely valuable, there could not be a seed of them thrown in the gutter. It can be seen that even though she was truly in love, she still carried in her heart that old flame of ambition that led her several times to want to hit the belly of the rich boyfriends she was lucky enough to conquer with her beauty.

And that would be the cause of his misfortune, because Luciano Mendes was a bad character who would not be moved by the fact that he knew that there was a child inside his womb and neither would his parents admit such a union. They would not allow the heir of all his assets to join a slum with no future like that. Patricia, her sister-in-law, tried to warn her of the danger she was in, but she was ambitious and didn't want to hear it.

Now the mistake had already been made, it was time to reap the negative results of their attitudes. The end of that month came and Christmas was approaching, it had been days since the teenager had been weakened, without mood, with the fallen appearance, pale and with retching of vomit. However, he did not complain to the bosses about anything.

 Luciano disappeared from the mansion more than two weeks ago, but she dared not interrogate anyone to find out about him, avoiding showing any particular interest to him, as this would raise serious suspicions. However, he was shocked when he heard Patricia commenting with Joana on her brother's sudden disappearance, making a trip almost hastily back to Paris. Staying hidden in some corner of the kitchen. In order not to be seen by the two women and at the same time listen to the conversation, she felt suspended from the floor with the statements of the supposed sister-in-law.

— You know, Joana, I'm worried

— Is there? And with what?

— As I told you, the fact that Luciano invented this sudden return to Paris is very suspicious

— And when that mischievous kid doesn't act suspiciously in everything he does?

— Joana, wake up, things can be more serious than we think

— Geez, so you worry me! Do you think he was getting into trouble around there?

— No, as we well know the only confusion, he could have been involved in would be with women

— Truth

— And that's where the problem lies. What has my irresponsible little brother been up to?

The two, stare at each other while Patricia takes a cup of hot coffee that the old housekeeper had just served her:

— Jesus Christ, girl, I don't even want to imagine such a thing!

— Well, I've been thinking about this possibility for a long time. What if that unfortunate Nathalia gave in to his charms and gave himself up on an adventure that will end up destroying her life completely?

— My God, I hope we are only considering such a possibility, my daughter

— I don't know, Joana, have you noticed how pale she is, disfigured and without that disposition from before? It looks like you're pregnant!

— Oh, my Lady, don't even tell me such a disgrace! Poor girl, if this really happened, she is lost

— But if so she herself will be the only one to blame, because it was not for lack of warnings

— I know that, Patricia, but as women we know what we are capable of doing for love, we commit many follies!

— Sorry, Joana, but I can't agree with this idea that every woman one day goes crazy with passion. You know me very well, since I was a child, and you know I was never given to liking boys the same age as me.

I always found them very irresponsible and tried to relate to the elders. I had my first sexual experience at the age of seventeen in Paris and with a man who was three times my age, but I practiced the conscious act that was what I wanted and the right time. I never lost my mind for anyone

— Yes, my daughter, but not all of us are the same. I myself was one of those who lost his head and went on an adventure that cost me happiness for the rest of my life

— You, Joana? Well, who knew, I thought I never even slept with a man

— Hey, I wasn't born old like that tomboy, I was also a child, teenager and lived my youth intensely. At least until I met that fret that destroyed my peace

— Let's take an hour for you to tell me more about your story, it seemed interesting. Now let me go to the clinic, I need to work

The listener, who remained hidden until that moment listening to the conversation, leaves towards her rooms and sits there on the bed where for several nights she made love to her seducer, desperate to realize the madness she had committed. Luciano went back abroad without even saying goodbye, used and abused her, then he left as Patricia warned she would do.

And now, what to do? What would be her destiny, when everything was revealed, how Dona Bárbara would react when she learned that the young woman she trusted to live in her house and take care of little Pedro ended up prostituting herself with her adventurous son. What would Carlos' reaction be when he was informed of the madness committed by his daughter, how would he react to such shame? What to say to Patricia who had the cadence to warn her of such great danger?

Tell you that by not considering your warnings you were in that terrible situation? Certainly, she would be expelled from there with no right to anything they were powerful people and nothing would stop them from tiptoeing her out of the mansion would he return to his mother's house? Would she be ready and willing to bow her head and listen to her screams throwing her face that was in fact a failure, a daughter's drug that only served to cause problems.

And bring shame on the family? What was he going to say to the younger sister who begged her to be careful and not do anything crazy? How to face the envious neighbors who saw their financial growth and gnawed at the inside because their children were not so lucky, who would now laugh at his fall and stomp on his financial and moral bankruptcy?

It was lost, it fell from the edge like an arrow towards the bottom of the deepest pit. She felt that a seed germinated inside her womb, a fetus was forming, a life would soon be ready to come into the world and she, in turn, would not have the slightest condition to receive it, nor to offer the care and comfort you would need so much.

The days passed. After the conversation they had that morning, both Joana and Dr. Patricia started to monitor the young woman's behavior inside the house as if they were trying to confirm their suspicions. If in fact she and Luciano had any kind of involvement, the sequels would appear sooner or later.

Something as serious as an unwanted pregnancy would be most likely, since he left without even saying goodbye to his sister and the housekeeper, whom he seemed to consider. As a doctor, Patricia was well aware of physical changes in people.

And day after day Nathalia appearance was visible, her behavior suspicious, whenever she was present at the mansion, she realized that the girl seemed to want to escape her presence, as if she avoided being analyzed from the perspective of the experienced professional. But fate is canny, purposeful and vindictive. He leads us on paths never before known, he lifts us up and then he makes us fall.  It tests our capacity to the last thousandth of forces.

Puts us in various types of labyrinths and only reaches out to get rid of death if we realize that we will not be able to get out of the hole where we were thrown without your help. Life is his story he writes with a pen and gold ink. We are the characters of this novel that he creates and allows us to live in this world, this earth and planet.

In this theater each person in particular is born with a role to act on that stage, as an important part in the existential context that this same destiny gives rise to. We are your guinea pigs, your dolls, your toys. The character lived by Nathalia do Valle brought in her baggage the sad mission of being consumed by ambition and the desire to be someone important at any cost. And from what you could see, the price was terrible.

On a Friday morning, the young woman took care of little Pedro, the autistic boy, when she fell to the ground before the surprised looks of the child who, for not understanding what would be happening to her companion, started to scream desperately, drawing the attention of the other employees who came to your aid.

Dr. Patricia received a phone call from Joana in her clinic that reported what had happened and asked for instructions on how to proceed in the face of the serious situation, when she was instructed that the driver take the girl in a hurry to be treated urgently in the place that was nearby. After some exams the doctor proved what she feared beforehand, Nathalia was four weeks pregnant.

 He expected a child from his inconsequential brother. There was the explanation for why he had left for Paris. With no further loss of time, she met with her parents in the late afternoon and passed on information on the patient's real condition, without hiding the full certainty that the child was a Mendes, the result of another of Luciano's inconsequential sexual relations with the maids.

As he has always done since his adolescence, In fact, that boy's insane attitude had already become frequent.

— We cannot allow Luciano to continue abusing the girls who come to work in this house, we have to put an end to this situation, until when will this persist without taking a position contrary to my brother's lack of character?

— And what do you want us to do, Patricia, to force our son to marry a poor girl like that just because she expects a child with our blood? What is at stake here is not only to repair Luciano's possible error, but the future of all our assets, to allow the birth of this child is to make him the heir of an incalculable fortune and this cannot be allowed to happen.

— Possible error? Do you think there is the slightest possibility that this maid's pregnancy is any other than my brother's? Who would be so irresponsible here? Of course, this son belongs to Luciano, my father, the room that surely you and mom intend to keep the girl aborting to hide the irresponsibility of that kid!

— Abortion of the fetus is the best solution in these cases of an unwanted pregnancy, you as a doctor should know that

— Yes, I know very well and I even agree if it is a case of rape. But in this case, it was with the full consent of the two, that poor girl trusted the false promises of love of that scoundrel! This time I will not be part of or agree with this little shame, my opinion is that we bring Luciano back to assume his actions

— But no way, my son will not marry this slum! Damn time when I admit this girl to work in our house

— Mom, forgive me for being so frank in my words, but you and Dad are the biggest culprits for Luciano's immoral addiction…

Always running his hands over his head when he does something crazy

— Your brother since he was a little boy, is a bit of a problem, and our role as parents is to help him overcome his moral failures until he matures and becomes firm in life.

— At what cost, in Dona Barbara? To the detriment of the life and happiness of these poor girls who fall for that bastard's speech?

— Luciano is our son and his brother, we must always be by his side, regardless of the situation in which he finds himself, never on the opposite side

— You are completely wrong, my mother, we must stand on the right side, defend what is right!

— And what seems right for you at this moment, Patricia, to share everything we have struggled for decades to build with a gun that was given to your brother, aiming to get along in life? Don't you realize that this girl is only interested in our money?

— Ah, yes Dad, I had forgotten what is the only thing this family considers important, the damned Mendes money!

— A money considered cursed by you, my daughter, but which has supported your studies in the biggest and best medical schools abroad, has enabled you today to become a great businesswoman, owner of your own clinic and to be this shining woman in which you are. became

— Yes, and I have to say that I am grateful for all that you have given me. But even so I will not be conniving with such a lack of character, enough of throwing my brother's barbaric mistakes into neglect, causing damage to the lives of so many innocent women

— Innocent? Do you consider innocence a girl who surrenders on the tray to the son of a millionaire in the hope of making a fortune? Or does it perhaps believe that in the middle of the 20th century there are still girls who are completely innocent in their purposes?

— The way you think and act both disgusts me!

With this statement, Patricia leaves the room where she confronted her parents for the way they put warm cloths, on her brother's attitudes and leaves a heavy atmosphere in the air, which would lead the Mendes to take an immediate position in the face of yet another of the many confusions created by their son older, against his maids.

— Everything is repeated, until when are we going to plug the moral holes dug by Luciano?

— Until he matures, Edgar, he is our son and needs all our support to overcome this flaw in his character

— I only wonder how long we will have to be serving as support for this unscrupulous kid without changing a single millimeter in his attitudes.

— Until he finally gets it, what we can't do is give up on him

— And these poor girls that we buy the silence of the families and the abortions that we force to do in order to free him from bigger complications, how are they? And if it were our daughter, Barbara, would we agree with so much impunity?

— Please do not compare these riverside rivers with no future with our daughter. Patricia was made from another type of clay, a special and unique ceramic, belongs to another world.

 Occupies another level in life and would never commit a vulgar act like this. These girls open their legs to the first person who appears and then claim correction for their mistakes. We are not going to sacrifice our assets or our son's future because of these bitches' ambition

— And now, what will be the next step to cover up this scandal caused by that bastard?

— Don't refer to him that way, Edgar, remember who he inherited such a lack of character

— In fact, in my youth I was doing some, but not as much as he is, he is crossing the line

— Don't be ironic with me, because I just wasn't one of your objects of pleasure anymore because I made myself smart and held the brim of your hat until you married me, in addition to my family members threatened you with death to the point of your parents giving in. to accept me in the family. Regardless of the almost fatal shot that my father took, through which he almost descends to the city of feet together, which convinced old Mendes to agree to our marriage

— Okay, okay, I recognize that I gave our son that damned inheritance received from my ancestors, all Mendes abused domestic workers and that became tradition in the family. But I think you should avoid this comment, because nobody here knows of its mediocre origin, not even our children

— And they won't even know, that would make fun of me in the face of society and my employees. No one can know that I came from the mud like so many others. We must act immediately, before the girl's pregnancy becomes visible.

— I will take the necessary measures, immediately!

The couple ends the conversation and Edgar retires to his quarters, while Barbara goes looking for Joana, who had overheard part of the conversation between the bosses and hurriedly headed for the kitchen, disguising her curiosity. It was still possible for her to hear her employer's statements to her husband as to the fact that she came from humble origins, as well as all of her employees, and this perplexed her.

— Patricia!

— Yes, missus

— I need to pass you some tasks, sit here

— Yes, missus

— You have lived in this house for many years and have become a person of our most complete confidence, followed the trajectory of this family and are aware of many of our secrets

— Certainly, Dona Barbara

— Very well, then you will have to know and keep one more of them, we hope to be able to count on your total discretion

— You can be calm about that, missus

— Our boy committed another great prank, Joana, and as always, we will have to clean up all the dirt left by him

— Holy God, Dona Barbara, another pregnant maid?

— Yes, and this time it will affect one of our oldest employees

— Oh, my Christ, the Carlos?

— Yes, unfortunately your daughter acted recklessly and ended up falling for Luciano, she is one month pregnant and we need to cancel this pregnancy as soon as possible. So, I will have to dismiss both father and daughter, so that there is no root of this sad episode in the mansion

— It is a great pity, because he is a hardworking, helpful and reliable man

— I know that much more than you, Joana, but we can't do anything else. We will talk to him and his daughter, propose the abortion and, as usual, pay a good amount of money to the family. Then dismiss them

— Leave it, missus, I already know exactly how things should be. I will talk to Carlos and I will reveal to you everything that is happening, don't worry

— Okay, do it as soon as possible and then let me know the exact time to reach an agreement with the employee and the girl

— Yes ma'am
