Marius fitzy narrating:
As soon as I entered my room I saw the woman that I just now realized that I didn't ask her name, she was staring at my brother mortally while Cristian was also looking at her with a lot of anger.
After everyone left and left us alone, I asked her to tell me what was going on. I don't know this woman, but I know my brother and how much of an asshole he can be, so I know he must have done something.
—He called me a b***h and said I was making up the story of the baby being her daughter — she said — I didn't say anything about her, but I think he must have reasoned with everything.
— I can't say if you're lying or not about the child being my daughter — I said — but I want to apologize for him calling you a b***h, he can't go around talking to women like that.
— All right... but how are we going to solve all this? —she said.
— Tomorrow we will go to the clinic to do the exam — I said and she nodded.
— Okay — she said.
— I have nothing to do right now, so I can take you to your house — I said, attracting his gaze at the same minute.
— No —he said quickly— my father is a drug user and I don't want my daughter in that place.
Her look was one of sadness, concern and, at the same time, fear what happened to her to leave her like that.
— Can I take you somewhere else? —I spoke.
—I have nowhere else to go... — she said she sadly.
So will she stay on the street? With that tiny little pink thing.
— So you're going to stay on the street? —her lack of response made me sure it was yes— no way, you will stay with me until we resolve all this.
—I don't want to bother, but I think the street is not the place for a newborn and a woman who just had a baby three days ago — she said, making my eyes widen.
— Three days? You should be resting — I said.
— I left the hospital directly here —she said— I needed to ensure that my daughter had a safe place to stay, even if I had to be humiliated again.
— Humiliated? Again?
— Never mind, anyway, I just want to eat something and be able to rest with my daughter —said— our daughter in this case.
— Right, but before we go, what's your name again?
—Victoria —she said, getting up with the little pink baby in her arms.

I took her to my penthouse, I know how stupid I can be to take a complete stranger to my house, but I took her anyway.
In my penthouse there aren't many valuables because I usually just go there to relax, everything I have of value, like jewelry or even money, stays in the bank or at my parents' house, here there's only furniture and appliances that are big, and I believe that she wouldn't be able to steal it, besides that my apartment also has several security cameras, so I'm not worried.
I asked Leonor, my mother's housekeeper, to go to my apartment and take care of the two of them, Victoria was very thin and pale, I still haven't forgotten that mark on her arm, and I'm going to find out who did it.
I had to go back to the company after dropping them off at my apartment because I had two meetings and couldn't miss them, I also made a call to the clinic to set up an appointment in the morning for us to do the exam since Avellar ended up not getting it before, and I had to. Those two didn't leave my thoughts, at all times that woman and the little girl came to my mind and I somehow was anxious to see them again.
On the way back home I remembered that they might not have clothes and that the little girl might get cold, so I went to the mall which wasn't too far away and bought some things.
The baby was a newborn, so it was very easy, I bought myself some clothes and told the salesperson to choose something very warm and comfortable, she must be thinking I was a denatured father because I didn't know how to choose anything for a baby.
For Victoria, I didn't really know what to choose, so I bought some sweatshirt sets, she needed to be comfortable and nothing more comfortable than a sweatshirt.
After those little purchases, I went to my apartment to deliver them.
Upon entering, I see Victoria sitting on the sofa while breastfeeding the baby whose name I still don't know, now even I'm thinking I'm denatured.
— Hi — I said, approaching.
— Hi —he said, looking at me, I heard a low growl and looked down seeing the little hungry baby with her mother's big breast in her mouth.
— I brought this for you — I said, putting the bag near her.
Curious, Victoria opened her bag and took out the first set of clothes, her eyes lit up when she saw the little outfit, right after seeing them all and ending up letting a few tears fall, she saw the clothes I bought for her.
— You didn't have to buy it for me — she said.
— Of course I needed to, I want you to be comfortable — I said.
— You really are every woman's dream —he said, making me look confused— Thank you for the clothes.
— For nothing, so you met Leonor? — I asked.
—Yes, she is very nice — she said.
— Great, I'll go out, but anything you need to ask her —I said.
—I need something, but if you take me to a pharmacy, I can buy it — she said, a little embarrassed.
— What do you need?
— Diapers, this little thing is small but spends a lot — she said, looking at her daughter with affection and making me more and more enchanted.
— Just that?
—Some hygiene products too — she said, even more embarrassed.
— I'll buy and have it delivered to you — I said.
—No need, I'm disturbing too much — she said quickly.
— I insist on buying it — I said, walking to the door— I still don't know if you're lying or not, but she's just a baby, I want her to be fine.
— Helena —said— her name is Helena. I smiled when I learned the name of the little pink thing, Helena is a very beautiful name, and it was also the name of someone very special to me.
[...]
I park the car in front of my parents' house and quickly get out of it, but before coming here I stopped by the pharmacy and bought several packs of diapers and also hygiene products like shampoo, wet wipes, baby powder and other things needed for a baby.
All this was chosen by the woman who worked there because I didn't know which one was the best, they didn't deliver either but with a good amount of money, this problem was quickly solved.
Now I'm going to talk to my mom and tell her what's going on, I want to ask for advice too.
Upon entering, I saw that she was talking to Cristian, they didn't see me, so I listened to the conversation.
— So that little woman hit me — said my brother, turning the side of his face for our mother to see.
— Calm down son, I'm sure your brother knows what he's doing —said mom— when he arrives, we'll talk and all this will be resolved.
— I'm already here —I spoke— let's talk.
