Brazil
- How beautiful she looks! Melina is the most beautiful baby in the world, come here with Grandma!
Living in Brazil was the best thing that ever happened in my life, but nothing could beat the fact that I had my little girl. My dreams were coming true in such a beautiful and special way that I no longer had that shadow of my old life.
- Papa!
Tomas is an excellent father and a wonderful husband, when we arrived here we were very well received by Mr. Bernardino but he wanted to know information about the girl that Dario Albertini had bought but that could be a way to find out if Tomas really took me to the accursed brothel but my husband was smarter and lied that he had never heard of me, I know that Bernardino was suspicious but after a year living in one of the houses of his property, he really understood that Tomás is a soldier of confidence, conquering Bernardino with the passing of months, removing that shadow of doubt that hovered in the mind of the Brazilian capo.
- I think you missed your turn to pick up the baby today, mother-in-law!
Melina opened her arms to her father's side expecting him to pick her up, the two are very close. My little girl only lets go of her father when she wants to suckle, otherwise I've been clinging to him all my life.
- How was your day here, wife?
- Very quiet, husband! But once one of Mr. Bernardino's whores came to the mansion to make a fuss, me and her sister laughed a lot! This time she said she was pregnant with blood tests and everything, but Mr. Bernardino appeared with his machine gun scaring the girl, it was very funny! In the end it was all fake, I don't know how he can have so many problems with prostitutes, worldly girlfriends and so on!
Luana and I work in the kitchen while Emiliane takes care of my little girl, Tomás takes care of the supply of drugs and weapons in the city along with Sergio, the fact that my husband is Italian makes it much easier to do business with the Italo-Brazilians even though I still worry about him every night that he goes out and only comes back in the morning or when he stays weeks away.
- If Mr. Bernardino would do as I did and marry a good and honest woman like you, I'm sure he wouldn't have this kind of problem anymore. Where is my sister?
- Your sister is still working because Mr. Bernardino will receive some friends for dinner, Cecilia wanted to stay to help her but Mr. Bernardino thought it best to send her back because of Melina, my son!
Luana never tried to take her own life again, she began to study law at a distance and learned to deal with her feelings better, staying away from Caetano Pacino was the solution to bring peace to my friend. The only thing I noticed that even after we lived here, Luana is very cautious, she doesn't stay alone with men and even less with soldiers, it is a trauma that she will carry for the rest of her life I thought, I know she stayed late working because she knows her brother will pick her up as is customary when this happens.
- I'll pick her up later, we can't neglect Luana!
Melina took her father's face in both her little hands playing with it as we talked, I finally had a family that I could count on for everything and love for the rest of my life. I know that the trips around the world and the historical monuments I wanted to see will never surpass the joy I have for having carried Melina for 9 months in my womb. Thomas not only gave me the freedom and chance to start over but also a beautiful and wonderful family.
- Mama, Mama!
I am awakened from my thoughts when I hear the gentle voice of my child, she is already looking at my breasts and I know that this can only be hunger. Even though she eats other foods, breast milk is still my little one's favorite, second only to Grandma's chocolate cake.
- Come to Mommy, my love!
Tomas handed over my baby who was already pulling my blouse to suckle, the most beautiful bond between a mother and her baby is the moment of breastfeeding. Watching my little one feeding from me while she has a smile on her face with her eyes closed is the most beautiful sight in the world.
- This is my favorite part of my day, when the women in my life are together like this!
- She thinks I'm going out, because I'm left over here!
My mother-in-law, even with my protests, decided to stay and it was just me, my little girl, who was already sleeping in my arms, and Tomas admiring the two of us.
- Cecilia, are you happy?
- Of course I am! How could I not be? I am married to the most beautiful and special man in the world, I have a beautiful daughter, a sister-in-law and a mother-in-law who are my best friends. What more could I want?
Thomas sat down beside me, kissing our daughter and then caressing my face.
- Cecilia, I made the best choice of my life when I saved you. I love you as I never thought I would be able to thank you for being part of my life, my love!
- Thomas, I thought I could never forget what I went through but living next to you I could see how it is possible to live even with the shadow of my past.
Still thought of Dario but as my impossible first love, I know we would never work out because only I had love for him. Dario loves power, money, crime and the mafia never would a monster like him be able to love someone. As much as my heart still looks back I know that I only knew love by being next to Tomas. True love built each day with the daily struggles, knowing how to accept the defects, learning to let go of the bad things and living one day at a time with an open heart. In the first months it was difficult, but when I left the doors of my heart open, I knew that I could learn to love Tomás Vitorino.
- I love you, Tomas! Thank you for your patience, affection, friendship, and all that you have done for me during this last year! Thank you for the beautiful family you gave me, I will be forever grateful for that. I learned that love can be built on strong foundations with you, my husband!
Thomas approached me ready to kiss my mouth but his cell phone rang disturbing that moment when we were opening our hearts to each other, this is the first time we both shared our intimate feelings. He answered because as the main caretaker of the weapons warehouse, Tomas needed to always be on the alert with everything.
- Ceci, I need to go there was something that will need my attention so please go to the mansion and fetch my sister, you know that we always need to take care of her! Love you!
- All right, husband! Go with God, come back well for me and for our little girl! I love you!
Thomas kissed Melina's forehead and mine and left to be the model soldier he always was, but my heart squeezed every time he had to go because I know how dangerous it is for him to live in this world of crime but he had no choice, it was the life that was imposed on him long before he was born. I put my baby in the cradle before going to pick up Luana, I ask my mother-in-law to take care of my little girl. From our house to the mansion is 10 minutes, I know that Luana is just waiting for some company to come back. My sister-in-law was raped for being alone and unprotected so Luana doesn't like to walk alone especially in places like this mansion and at night when everything looks more dark and scary, she arrived at the kitchen door noticing that my friend is still preparing the desserts to serve them.
- Do you want help, Lu?
- Jesus, Cecilia! It's late and these people haven't left, Mrs. Conceição says there were only a few guests, she just didn't mention that they would come with others! The women are thin but eat as if they've never seen food in their lives, worse are the men who drink like skunks! I thought that Tomas would come to pick me up, what happened?
- He was going to come, but something happened at the warehouse and Tomas had to come back! But since I'm here I'll help you, so that we can finish faster and go home.
Luana eventually accepted my help, just put the apron of the uniform going with one of the trays to the dining room, as is customary Mr. Bernardino is swallowing one of his many girlfriends along with other men with their respective whores. I thank God every day for having put Luana and Tomás in my life, I would certainly have the same fate as these poor women. He began to serve, noticing how the men, even when accompanied, couldn't take their eyes off me and my sister-in-law.
- Luana, bring that bottle of wine from my private cellar!
My friend first served the desserts, rushing to the wine cellar to get the bottle of wine, I know she will be back soon because she doesn't like to leave me alone among all these people.
- I thought you would be with your daughter, Cecilia?
- Melina is with her grandmother, sir! I came to get Luana since my husband went back to the warehouse and there was something there that needed his attention!
The looks were all directed at me as if I was drawing too much attention but I just answered what was asked, a certain man who kept looking at me with a face of pervert, did not hold his tongue to talk shit!
- What a shame! So beautiful and already married with a kid on top of that, you are a better hottie than this one sitting on my lap!
- Carvalho, I have a great appreciation for you! But respect the wife of one of my best soldiers, she is beautiful yes, mother yes, and an excellent employee, so have more fucking respect! Instead of talking shit, why don't you drink more, you know I don't like to see anyone lucid in the dining room of my house!
I was happy for Mr. Bernardino's respect and defense, he's no sense but he's a good man. Luana returned with the bottle and placed it on the table while Bernardino opened the bottle himself, pouring the contents of the bottle generously into his glass and that of everyone else there.
- Luana, my beautiful maid is dismissed for today, your dinner and dessert were wonderful. I'm still going to kidnap her to make these delicacies just for me, but it would be very difficult to want to just enjoy your food without also wanting to get between your beautiful legs. I think I'm already drunk and talking too much shit, suspend my alcohol!
Luana held my hand in fear of the comment of the capo, Bernardino has problems with drinking but he had never said something so depraved as this, at least not to us, I decided to ignore the comment because I know he will regret what he said tomorrow when he wakes up, if he can remember what he said, of course!
- Have a good night, gentlemen!
- Thank you, Cecilia! But it will be impossible to have a good night without having the beautiful company of your sister-in-law bouncing on my cock!
I didn't even stop to give him an answer, taking my friend away before she had a panic attack. When we arrived home, Luana sat on the couch hugging her legs in a clear gesture of protection.
- Has Mr. Bernardino been harassing you?
- No! It was the first time he said those things, I don't want to go through it all again! I don't want to be raped again, Cecilia, I'm not going back there! Can you imagine if you hadn't picked me up, what could have happened to me today? I never want to set foot in that mansion again!
I hugged Luana to reassure her, I understand her fear but I feel that Bernardino would be incapable of doing anything bad to Luana but I have noticed that he looks at her in a different way but today I was sure that our boss sees Luana not just as a maid. As long as I live I will protect my friend, Bernardino will not offend her as long as he is near me because as Luana once cared and took care of me, I will do the same for her!
- Don't worry, my friend! I will protect you!
