Eliza Campos
I wanted to understand why Pedro looked at me that way, it seemed like he was going to unveil my secrets, that made me embarrassed, I had never felt that way.
I walk a few minutes with Carla to her desk, where she picks up a piece of paper where it says the schedule she has to work.
— Eliza, I am happy to have you on our team, here is the paper where the working hours are marked, you will start tomorrow only because we urgently need someone to take care of Mr. Monterey's schedule, I was not able to do it – She says handing me that paper and after reading it for a few minutes, I say.
— I will also love to work here. I understand that I will have a lot of work tomorrow, but this will be amazing, it has been a long time since I have had a job," I say with a laugh. I really had been out of work for a long time since I got addicted to drugs.
Not only that, but I felt so close to Carla, it seemed as if I had known her for so long, a friendship of years. I don't know how to explain this feeling, but I still wouldn't have the courage to tell her about everything I have been going through.
- Really, in the last few weeks we have had a lot of work. Some national authors discovered our work here at the publishing house and decided to launch their books - she says.
- Here in Brazil, unfortunately, the national authors are not so valued, and the big publishing houses only aim to publish works of well-known and international people - Carla says.
We keep talking for a few more minutes, when Mathews sends me a message wanting to know how the job interview went, so I turn toward Carla and say.
- Carla, I have to go now, the interview was amazing. It was great to meet you.
- I loved meeting you too, so see you tomorrow," Carla says smiling in my direction and waves goodbye to me with a handshake.
After saying goodbye to Carla, I went to the garage where my car was, but when I arrived at that place, I lost the beautiful smile that was on my face, I had once again found Pietro and Violeta.
As I approach my car, Pietro looks intensely in my direction and approaches me, already speaking.
- Eliza, how are you? - Pietro was probably talking to me out of convenience.
- I'm fine. Now excuse me, I have to go," I say, but as I open my car door, Pietro, who was at a safe distance from me, comes closer and closer to take hold of one of my arms.
- Calm down, redhead, why are you in such a hurry to get away from me, are you afraid you can't resist? - Pietro speaks about debauchery.
I took a deep breath before answering Pietro, he knew how to break my patience.
- Pietro, don't make me lose what little patience I still have with you - Pietro was apparently doing all those things to provoke me.
Pietro looks in my direction more calmly.
- Wow, you look so different," he says, "Have you stopped taking drugs?
I looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to our conversation.
- Pietro, you are already dating someone new, leave me alone. I don't owe you any more responsibility for what happens to me," I answer as calmly as I can, "Now let go of my arm.
Pietro then lets go of my arm and I can finally get into my car, I put the cell phone in the glove compartment of the vehicle for fear of doing something stupid, and I immediately start it to get away from that man, who had done me such harm.
The blond is an ex-boyfriend of mine from school days, we were together for years until I got addicted to drugs, however, it was after I became pregnant with Olivia that my nightmare began, because of this addiction, I ended up losing my daughter when she was eight months pregnant.
As he always said, he would never relate to a person who ruined his life like that and when I revealed my pregnancy to him, I believed at that moment that he would support me when I needed him the most, the only thing he did was scoff and say that the child was not his, and that's when he broke up with me.
I drove for a few moments and parked the car for fear of doing something stupid, I needed to breathe before continuing the trip.
Without being able to expect any other reaction from me, I started to cry, I couldn't control myself anymore and afraid of having any relapse, I decided to call my therapist Giulia, I nervously took out my cell phone from the glove compartment of my car and call her, it was several rings before she answered, probably busy with other patients.
GIULIA:
Heart, did something happen?ELIZA:
I need to meet with you now. Are you busy?GIULIA:
For you, I'm never busy. We can meet in the square near my house.ELIZA:
All right, I'm heading that way right now.After this brief dialogue, I seemed to be strangely calmer just by hearing Giulia's voice, only she, my brother, and Mathews could calm me down like this.

I had to pack a few things and get ready to go to work early tomorrow, since Pedro had asked me to start work in the morning.So I decided to say goodbye to her.- Giulia, I loved being able to talk to you, but unfortunately I have to go," I answered, "Tomorrow, as you well know, I have to start work as a personal assistant.- All right, I am glad you are better, you know that whenever you need to let off steam, I am here for whatever you need," she says.After saying goodbye to Giulia, I get into my car and drive towards my residence.When I arrive home, I finish tidying up some things that my mother had left behind since we had had that little argument. Until today, I wanted to understand why she didn't want me near the Monterey company, could it be that she knows Pedro, my boss?Of course, I didn't care what my mother had said, I loved the new job and thought it would be

I am very nervous, because for sure in the room would be Pietro and Cassandra, his girlfriend.I don't know how I can face Pietro after his harsh words to me. Not only that, but I know that I have a share of the blame for how our relationship has turned out since I got addicted to drugs. I have ruined not only my life, but the lives of everyone around me.I came out of my thoughts when I saw that Carla was calling me, probably the meeting was about to start. Furthermore, I wiped away some tears that were running down my face and hoped that Carla hadn't noticed.- Carla, has it started yet? - I questioned.- The meeting is about to start. Pedro asked us to go - Carla answers - Are you nervous?- A little, Pedro asked me to present that project - I say.- I am sure that everything will be

Carla had really taken a dislike to Pietro.- Unfortunately, but, what the hell, they are also employees of the company - I say - But they might as well not have come at all, they would save our eyes from seeing this toxic couple in front of us - I completely with a laugh.Cassandra had probably realized that we were talking about her because she almost stepped forward, but Pietro held her back.We giggled for a few moments until we were interrupted by another unwanted person.- By the looks of it, they're pretty excited," Heloise says, "May I ask the reason for the joke?She was p

Only that I trust Carla a lot, as if I have known her for many years. That is why I decided to tell her everything. - It is not easy, it is a delicate matter, but, yes, I can tell you,” I answer. What do you think? - That's fine,” she answers, “Now let's go back to the meeting room, Mr. Manuel was very worried about you and even tried to follow you, but Heloise wouldn't let him. Thank God he didn't come when you were crying. - Thank God he didn't come - I said - I'm only going back because I still have to work, but I didn't want to talk to him. - I understand your friend - Carla says, holding my hand in a sign of support.

I just feel disgusted to be near you.- What?

After seeing that Peter is still asleep, I try to get up carefully, since he has his arm wrapped around my waist.As I get out of bed, I end up waking Peter.- Eliza, is everything all right? - Peter asked, sitting up in bed, "Were you already leaving?Afraid of what his reaction would be, I decided to try to lie.- No, of course not," I answer, looking away.Peter looks at me suspiciously, arching one of his eyebrows as if he doesn't believe me.- Eliza, I know you're lying," Peter says, laughing in my face.I saw that there was no point in continuing to lie to Peter, I have learned to lie with life because of all the things that have happened to me, but when faced with a situation like this, it was as if I forgot everything I had learned.- Yes, I was lying, but, I've been here too

Making Eliza sit on my legs where I start to distribute light kisses on her shoulders, feeling her shivering all over and realizing this I give a light bite on that region, leaving a big hickey there.- This is so good, Peter," Eliza says in a broken voice, she probably couldn't take the hard-on she also felt for me, and I'm not being pushy, but when I looked at Eliza, that's what I could see in her eyes.Her gaze was just like mine, full of love, passion, and course, desire.I smiled sideways at what the redhead had said and to provoke her I decide to say.- Easy, angel. I want to make you beg for me.As I continue those pleasurable caresses, Eliza abruptly stops, leaving me confused.- Peter, this can't happen," she says, breathing heavily, looking almost breathless, her lips reddened and her red hair

Let's go to my apartment, I swear I'll explain everything inside, it's a long story,” he says, breathing impatiently.- Peter, you are engaged, I won't enter your house like this.

I didn't want to listen to Heloise right now.When she starts nagging me again, I end up losing my head and saying some things that I always felt comfortable saying.- Heloise, that's enough, I've had enough of you," I say.Heloise looks at me with her eyes watering, but I didn't feel sorry or pity for her. I know the play and I know how she can be. Then, tired of seeing Eliza close to that man, I approached those two, and from a distance, I could hear Heloise speaking.- Peter, come back here now. You're going to break up with me like this. You owe me an explanation.Since I was blinded by rage, I didn't even pay attention to her anymore. I a

Chapter 15Eliza CamposI was thinking about the invitation I received from Carla and Afonso to go to their party, I know that he is Peter's friend and maybe Pietro's acquaintance. I only accepted the invitation because I needed to relax a little.For this little party, today I decided to rock the boat, to call everyone's attention. I put on a long, shoulder-length black dress with a slit that went halfway up my thigh. It was very tight to my body and highlighted all my curves, which for a while I even tried to hide because I was ashamed of my body, which many said was statuesque.I don't use foundation or concealer, I just choose to use very red lipstick on my lips to leave them well-marked.A few hours later, I am finally ready, as I was not in the mood to drive, I opt to pay for an app car.In a few minutes, the taxi driver arrives at my house and I get in his car. I notice that the man keeps looking at my legs, a sign that I must look good.The trip to Afonso's house doesn't take

I approach Pietro and speak, even if against my will. I had to hold myself in order not to do anything against him.- Hi Pietro, how are you? - I was just being polite to him, I hope he would not be stupid enough to provoke me, for this he would have to bear all the consequences, since I am his boss and whether he likes it or not I am the owner of the company, which now bears my name.- All right, what about you? - He answers.- I'm fine," he answers without wanting to hear Pietro's voice.Alphonse saw how I was in Pietro's prese

Chapter 13 Peter Monterey I never would have suspected that Manoel was Eliza's father, he had told me that he had two other children from another marriage, but never told me anything more about them. And when I found out that she is Heloísa's half-sister, I thought about asking Manoel to give me Eliza's hand in marriage, but I don't know if it was the right thing to do. I don't want her harm, but, I can no longer stay Heloisa, I don't have the same feeling as in the beginning. I'm sure I can achieve this with Eliza, I feel something so good coming from her, but, when I saw that Thomas met her at the company party, he even warned me about a wonderful woman he had met, but, I never suspected it was Eliza he was talking about. I still haven't figured out how I can talk to Manoel about the change of plans since I want to break up with Heloísa and get married to Eliza, but I need to prepare the ground; I know that Thomas is interested in her, even though he has been married for years t
