exchange of love
Henrico
I'm going to talk to Eduardo now, when I'm surprised, because he came to meet me, talk about a fire in my shop, in the offices, he then made me go straight to the airport.
Upon arriving at the stores, I saw that the damage was only in Eduardo's own office, and in the data system.
Something according to the police made by professionals...
I then lost patience and told Eduardo that I wanted to talk to him alone, and then when we got to my room, I told him I had discovered the robbery, and he looked surprised, and said he had no idea of anything, I so I've already accused directly, and he was in shock and violently denied it.
At that moment, his phone rang, and he answered, because according to him it was his mother, and that he called to inform about the death of Mariane's grandfather.
I listen, and I already tell him that we can settle after the priority at the moment, and Mariane.
So he said he would leave now, I say I will too.
But I know how to delete myself, because something there was out of the way I traced.
We returned to the airport and the flight was rescheduled due to bad weather.
We wouldn't make it until the next morning.
I went back to the hotel, and Eduardo went to his apartment.
Upon arriving at the Plaza Inn hotel, I go to my suite, and call Louis, he then says that everything was very easy, and that after further investigations, he no longer finds it possible to be Eduardo the thief!
I then say that this is impossible, and I speak of the money he gave to the bride, Louis says they are just coincidence, and the thief purposely did it to incriminate Eduardo, as he has access to his movements.
He even shows Eduardo's balance and bank transactions, and everything is clean, he has shares on the stock exchange, and profitable investments, his expenses are compatible with his earnings.
My face hits the ground right now, as I'm screwing a guy, and now I can understand the bride's idolatry.
Despite the stupidity of keeping Mariane a virgin, otherwise Eduardo was very intelligent and honest.
Shit, a thousand times...
Now I was screwed, I had s*x with Mariane without a condom.
But, I believe she must be protected.
After all, women today don't take medication, and even because no woman wants to be a quick mother these days.
Breathing a sigh of relief, I call Mariane one more time, and as she doesn't answer before, I leave a message and nothing.
So without wasting any time, I call the hotel I'm in São José dos Campos, and ask if Miss Mariane came to see me, and of course I was aware that she wouldn't go there, but I had hope, the receptionist insisted on helping me, giving me her address.
I thanked this Roberta, and tried once more to speak to Mariane.
Actually, I wasn't sure what to say to her, but I tried anyway.
But none of her answer
I tried to sleep, but my conscience wouldn't let me.
The morning came, and then left for the airport.
I found Eduardo, already on the plane, we barely spoke.
The flight was smooth, and less than an hour we were already heading to the city center.
But he said he would stop by his parents' house before going to Mariane, so I already planned to go straight to her.
Pretending to go to the hotel.
I took a taxi as soon as Eduardo left.
I gave the address to the taxi driver, and we left for there...
The neighborhood was simple, but Mariane's grandparents' house was good, beyond the average for the place, I remembered that Mariane said that Eduardo had given the house to her grandparents.
What hatred rose in me, the guy had everything in his favor.
However, I couldn't blame him, Mariane is beautiful, I would give her everything to have her by my side!
But he wasn't about to get married, so I guess she wouldn't let go of the doubtful one.
However, I would try to offer her a good sum of money, whatever she wants, to have her in my bed for a while longer.
I entered the house, a girl received me, saying that she would call her.
My cell phone rang, it was from Florida, from my parents' house.
I sent messages saying I'd call in a little while.
Mariane sees me then, sitting there in her living room, and she doesn't like my presence at all.
I don't blame her because I was a bastard to her.
Mariane even screamed, saying that she's over, she won't have anything to do with me, I try to talk and ask why she didn't answer me?
She says it's not my business, and she comes back to say she's over!
Anything that happened between us!
I feel a thud in my chest, hearing her sharp words.
But I have to leave, because my phone rings again, and I see that I'm from home, and to be so insistent is something important, so I tell Mariane that I'll be back later, as she is very upset, and I need to call her at home.
I went out onto the street there and arrived at a nearby square, I called at home, my mother answered crying saying that my father Erros is dying, she then explained to me that he had a heart attack, but that it had no chance of holding it for long, and they were taking he to the operating room.
I say that I will go home immediately, and I end the call...
So I still go back to Mariane's house, but when I enter the living room door, I see her sitting on Eduardo's lap and he comforting her.
I quickly left there, as I felt a punch in the stomach, my head hurt at the time, so I left in search of a taxi.
I soon found an app car and asked to be taken to the hotel.
I took my things, and immediately closed the account, and left with the same car I arrived, the driver took me to the airport, and then I boarded for São Paulo, then I arrived in the capital and went straight to the departure window for the USA, inside less than two hours I boarded.
Almost fifteen hours later....
I was already in the hospital, with my mother Aguinis, and she is inconsolable.
Helena, my sister is sitting on the couch crying, she is so young and has come after hundreds of fertilization treatments over the course of almost fifteen years, so it's daddy's treasure, I feel like she hasn't lived at all, protected by my parents , and being the princess of the family having daddy to satisfy her teenage whims...
So I go to her and give her a big hug, telling her that everything will be fine.
Lena looked at me with her caramel colored eyes doubting and saying, it's all my fault for not doing what daddy wants!
— What are you talking about Helena?
So my mother says:
— Son, your father Erros was arguing with Helena, because she wanted to date a college friend named Michel, and that she could give him the grandson he wanted so much.
Her father got sick, at that moment,
after understanding that Lena is having s*x with her boyfriend.
"By the gods...!?" “How can you, Helena? "You're only seventeen, barely turned!"
Now I understand.
dad had a fit
Yeah, what's this about being pregnant already?
Have you gone crazy?
I myself will break the face of this bastard, who messed with you! "I did."
"When I say that, I remember what I did with Mariane, I was such a bastard to her, as that bastard Michel was to my sweet and fragile sister!"
"You won't do anything, I love Michael, but we're not together yet, I was just telling Dad we were going to be!" "But he wouldn't let me finish, and he got sick first."
I feel relief, and I'm already thinking about doing something to get her out of Florida.
- So young lady, you will stay with me, while Mom will be taking care of Dad.
However, I will speak to the doctors first.
I left to talk to the doctors, and was informed that the surgery turned out well, but now he would be staying at the U.T.I.
Just to have survived, it was incredible according to the doctor.
I finally go back to my mother, and make her go home with me, Helena comes along with a frown, because she knows we'll have a good conversation.
Upon arriving at the Katisoure family mansion, Helena runs and locks herself in her room, I then take Mom to her room, she says she's fine, and that soon Erros will be home!
I say that I believe in that too, and I'm leaving soon...
But Mom makes me sit on her bed, because she says it's time for me to shoulder my responsibilities, and get married soon!
— Henrico, you are mature enough son!
I know your father will be overjoyed, with his marriage, and with our grandson.
It's time Henrico, you've been playboy enough.
I'm sure there's a nice girl out there somewhere who'll make an excellent wife for you.
Please son, give us this joy!
I'm old too, though I still feel like a young lady.
However, I am willing to have my dear grandchildren around me screaming grandma...grandma...
Ah! Go Henrico, listen to your poor mother.
"If my mother knew what I did with Eduardo's fiancée"!
I know she would beat me...
So, to make you happy, I say I'll think about it.
Mom is overjoyed that I never said I'd think about the subject of marriage, which has been discussed so many times before.
Then I apologize, and leave to avoid further talking about it.
So I go to my room, there in the mansion.
Soon I'm going to take a shower, then I see my messages, Louis is already in Brazil.
I think it's great, because I'll finally have real proof of who the thief is!
I replied to him to keep me informed of any news.
Yeah, so I look for messages from Mariane, but she blocked me.
Don't even care, I can do it anymore!
Shit...
I'm going to sleep mad at her for doing this, but right now I couldn't do anything!
Until my father is discharged, I'll stay here, and I'd better forget about her!
Eduardo is not a caveman, to want to marry her just for her virginity.
So, I believe I better stay away!
I have to admit she loves Eduardo, I could see it myself.
He despite betraying her, seems to love her, because really no man spends so much on a woman.
