She gets pregnant and loses contact with him, and when she runs into him by chance at the company where she works, she tells him about her pregnancy and also finds out about his wife. But of course the story doesn't end there,there are more mysteries to unravel and he has a score to settle with Helena.

Chapter 1

It was a rainy morning like every autumn season,I got up slowly and still sleepy,went to the bathroom to get ready for my job,listened to the alarm clock ring more times(I remember I forgot to turn it off),finished my warm shower and wrapped up well,left the house with my lilac umbrella,I watched the drops falling one after another from the sky,while waiting for my bus.

As soon as he arrives I get in and pay for the ride,I walk all the way up like I do every morning,listening to my pops and romantic songs on the headphone,dreaming about everything that was said in the lyrics and I knew that one day I was going to live that great love that everyone says they live.

I pull the cicada two blocks before the studio where I work, I'm walking to the beautiful and huge coffee shop that used to have the best coffees that exist in the city of Capitú. As I walk through the door I see that huge line, so I stand there waiting my turn.

It was only 15 minutes before my appointment, but not even half the people in front of me had been seen, I already had messages from Monica saying I had to hurry, and I knew my boss like no one else. I looked at my watch, tapped and tapped my foot on the floor nervously.

A man sitting near the line asks me, "Are you okay?

I look him in the eye.

-Yes.

-I don't think so, are you late?

-How do you know?

-The way he taps his foot and looks frantically at his watch.

-Yes, I have to run to work, my boss is not very calm.

-If you want, I can help you.

-How?" I ask suspiciously.

-Modesty breaks mine, but I'm a good friend of the owner and I can get him a coffee.

-Oh, thank you very much, I'll have an espresso with cream.

-Calm down, just wait a minute, I'll be right back.

He leaves, giving me a place to sit,this place was always very crowded, but at this time there were fewer people, I don't know what possessed everyone to come here today, at this time for coffee. Two minutes later he reappears with two cups of coffee in his hand and a small box that could be carried on the wrist as a purse.

-Thank you, but I just want some coffee.

-The candy and coffee are on me," I smile gently.

-No, thanks, but I have to pay.

-You don't have to pay, it's on me.

-Then thank you. -I'll pay for the other coffee. What's it called again?

-Hugo Sampaio, nice to meet you! -says, but without shaking hands because of things.

-Helena Torres.

"I said, kissing him on the cheeks." Well, I have to leave. Thank you, Hugo.

-You're welcome, Helena. -He smiles and I leave.

I walk as fast as I can to arrive on time,I try not to spill anything,I decide to ask for a motorcycle cab to take me and so it is done,I pay the fare and arrive 5 minutes early,I put the coffee on Larissa's table and go back to mine,I am the boss's personal assistant,I do everything she wants,I even do things that go beyond my dignity.

I drink my coffee right there,it was delicious that candy and coffee,everything that was made there was great,as soon as I finish Larissa arrives,enters the room like a hurricane and descutindo the phone and I already knew that the day was not going to be as calm as I wanted.

CALL:**

-Hello? "I'm answering the desk phone."

-Helena, come to my office.

-Yes, ma'am. "I take a deep breath and go."

CALL:**

I enter and see her red, she looks at me and her eyes burn with anger.

-This coffee is awful, it's cold.

I'll get you another one, ma'am.

And I want it fast.

-Okay.

I grab the car keys and the money, run back to Starbuks and buy her coffee again, run back to the studio and get the coffee, she starts drinking it and I'm waiting for another request from her.

-Have you done my designers?

I did the one for the clothing stores and the one for the market, I e-mailed them to you.

-And the one for my boyfriend's real estate agency?

-I'll do it today when I get home.

-Cancel it if you want, or do it slowly.

-Yes, ma'am, anything else?

-Yes, I want you to go and help Augusto with the photographs, I want you to learn as much as you can during this month.

-But who will help you while I'm in the photo studio?

I will call that friend of yours Monica, but my designers I only trust to you, send me an e-mail and I will send it to the owners, if they like it you will get your reward.

-Thank you, ma'am. "I smile."

-Now it's off to the photo studio. " -says authoritatively as always.

-Yes, ma'am.

I gather my things and leave,Monica should be arriving soon. I arrive at the photo studio (which was a bit far from the graphic designer studio, but all in the same building), it was a very dark place, with blue and red lights, dark tone walls.

-Are you lost? "I hear that voice behind me and I get scared.

-What a fright! "I scream on impulse when I see the face."

-I'm sorry, it's just that I've never seen you around here before, so I had to ask you without telling you I was here.

-No, it's okay. I came after Augusto, Larissa sent me here to help and learn.

-Of course, you're the girl Larissa wants to invest in.

-Investing?

-Yes, she told me you have a great future in this company, you've really won the boss's affection. "He says and walks away, and I follow him.

-I wish "I smile thoughtfully" ,she doesn't like me very much.

-Good, you're the first to be sent here to learn. A good, I'm Augusto, Lari's best friend.

-Ata, nice to meet you...

-Helena, I know. Let's get to work then.

-Let's go.

As soon as I say that he turns on the white light of the studio, there were girls getting ready, young people of various sexes editing photos, it was huge, the beginning was very narrow, but later on it was very spacious.

-I introduce you to my studio, this is where we capture real life and make it into a lifetime memory. Here, in a second, in a flash, everything becomes the past and the past has to be kept and remembered, won't you say something?

I stared in fascination at everything.

-It's incredible and beautiful and magical.

-Come on, come on, don't flatter me.

I smiled at his cheerful manner and it was good to work with someone cheerful like him, very different from Larissa, all serious and stressed.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
