Viviane
João Pedro had decided to travel to New York to talk to Jack in person about them. I had fully supported him as we all deserved to be with the one we truly loved and I couldn't stop my best friend from being happy.
If they decided to stay together, we would solve everything as best we could, because there was only one person who worried me, and that was my daughter. What others would think, I didn't care. We couldn't hold on to each other for the sake of appearances. That was our agreement when we decided to stay together.
After the first day that João Felipe arrived and on which I refused to join the rest of the family for dinner, I decided that I could not continue to run away from meals with the family while Felipe was here. I didn't want family problems and while he monopolized the conversations at the table
João FelipeMy brother's trip to the United States triggered in me something I wasn't able to control. The need to be with Viviane, to have her for me, who was bigger than anything and I couldn't help but always be looking for her, looking for opportunities to talk to her.I never swallowed this marriage of hers to João Pedro, and now that he had simply traveled and left her alone, the feeling was even greater that there was something wrong with that relationship.Today, for example, it was Friday night and Viviane had gone out with her friends, not caring that her husband was thousands of miles away, and when he was close, they never left just the two of them. With the exception of that lunch a few days ago, something that even Mom always commented on.Another thing I didn't swallow either, was João Pedro's lame excuse for this trip to NY. The justification that I had been absent for a long time from the branch, which was still true because it had been almost two months since I had b
João FelipeThey immediately changed their playful posture and Nicolas was the first to speak." I believe I already know what you intend to admit, since we always suspect it " Your expression was of regret, given the situation in which I found myself."I've always been in love with Vivi and now I'm paying the price for never having done anything about it."" I was sure of it! " Henrique shouted, making a gesture raising his arm, as if in celebration of something." A very complex situation, I have to warn you " Nicolas took a sip of his drink, before continuing. " But I imagine you have something in mind once you acknowledge your feelings."Before I could answer, I saw at a glance a woman trying to get rid of the onslaught of a guy holding her, apparently quite tightly. I looked around, trying to find some security, and when I looked again at what was going on, I could see the woman in question upon realizing it was Viviane, I immediately got up from the table and ran towards what wa
Viviane"Unfortunately, there are still many men out there who don't know how to take a no. But let's give thanks for not having anything more serious happen " His expression was very serious, and he looked very upset also by what happened."Shall we go in?" I called once more.He was still holding onto my arm and I pretended not to notice that he was also stroking him as he seemed to do so without even realizing it. As I looked towards the place, implying that I wish he would stop, he quickly let go of me, a look of apology to me." Vivi, we need to talk" he spoke in a restrained tone. " I say talk even, solve our pending issues. We live in the same house, I don't think it's cool the way we're living together.""I don't see any problem," I said stubbornly."We have to think about Sarah, it's not good for her in this tense atmosphere between us."Hearing this, I felt trembling inside. He was worried about Sarah! I had already been following how attentive and kind he was to my daughter
João FelipeFortunately, today was Saturday and I didn't have to be at work, nor did I have any appointments scheduled. In the state my face was in, I didn't look the best for meeting someone, let alone for work.I was now standing in front of my bathroom mirror, wondering how my mother would tell me that I had gotten into a fight, and in which I had gotten worse. It was pretty embarrassing.I was thinking of going back to bed and postponing this moment as long as possible, when I walk out of the bathroom and find my mom coming into my room, without even hitting it. I already knew about what had happened, for despite the horror in her expression, she showed no surprise at seeing me with my face swollen and with a bandage above one eye, which, by the way, was closed."Oh my son, what a pity!" he spoke, approaching me and looking at the wounds closely." I thought you were going to make the biggest fuss when you saw me like that " I commented with a smile in my voice.Mrs. Marta is some
João FelipeWe both burst out laughing until I started moaning from the pain in my rib area."We shouldn't be making fun of such a serious matter," she said in an attempt to get serious and we smiled at each other in a complicit way."We shouldn't."After that moment of complicity between us, she excused herself and left my room quickly.I was feeling alone, because although we had not completely lived our love, the moments in which I was with Viviane, throughout life and especially when we met in the apartment that I bought specifically for our clandestine meetings, I felt completely fulfilled. It seemed like life made perfect sense in those moments. But I was an idiot and didn't know how to give it my due value and now I nee
VivianeWe got in the car, me in the front next to Felipe, because my mother made sure of it and she was in the back seat. Most of the journey she came monopolizing the conversation, admiring how much Sarinha had grown and was more known in this period when he was away, and telling the news about my aunt and father.He couldn't come with her as he was helping his sister recover from surgery while she couldn't stand missing her granddaughter, according to her words.Fabiano had gone to pick her up in the morning and she hadn't told me before because she wanted to have a surprise. She had managed to surprise me, coming with Felipe to pick me up at work.When we got home, I was the first to come down, because I was very upset about this harassment of Felipe, not because I did not l
João FelipeAfter several failed attempts, I decided that Viviane was too loyal to my brother to allow me to show that I was determined to invest in a real relationship between us and to face any social barriers that were imposed since she was my brother's wife, for the fact that she was the daughter of the servants of the mansion ceased to matter long ago.I had been petty for getting carried away by something so meaningless and superfluous and was now paying the price.After a few more days, when I was already fully recovered from the beating I had taken in the club, to protect Viviane, and tired of waiting for João Pedro's return, since nothing else explained his stay in New York, I decided that I would go there, talk to him personally and solve our pending issues once and for all.
VivianeI barely managed to nail my eye and woke up feeling like a rag. Despite this, I had to work as my commitment to the foundation was of great importance and could not be missed just because I did not get a proper night's sleep.I didn't even have breakfast, as I had woken up later than I used to and with the little time I had before leaving, I chose to be with Sarinha.The day was exhausting and once again I did not go to lunch at home, preferring to eat anything near the foundation. Despite the rush during the day, I got home early and after resting a little before dinner, I felt renewed. She was ready to face whatever it was.João Pedro did not answer my calls, however, he cryptically answered the messages, saying only that s
