My Enemy’s Daughter

HENRICO ZATTANI

It seems that fate wants to play with my face, making my father-in-law and my ex-wife line up right in front of me, just like in the past. Aurora keeps a hand on her stomach protectively, her blue eyes are startled and dart from me to her dad. She got in between us, preventing me from returning the punch the traitorous bastard threw at me.

“Fuck, woman! Get out of my way! I startle, clenching my fists until my palms turn white.

“Get out, I’m going to finish this bastard off.” Augusto growls, pushing his daughter to the side. She loses her balance and almost falls.

Guilhermino curses behind me, and I tighten my fists even more.

“You don’t have respect, do you?” Nothing is more important to you than yourself. His eyes narrow and for a second, I see a flicker of regret as he stares at his daughter.

“You better go, Henrico.” Aurora says, sounding tired.

I narrow my eyes at her, studying her image, her hair is tied in a ponytail on top of her head, light makeup adorns her face and contrary to what she usually wears, she wears long soft fabric pants and a white shirt, her belly round is noticeable and marks the fabric of the t”shirt.

“I didn’t come to talk to you.” I speak harshly, controlling as much of my explosive temper as possible.

“No, you came to cause a riot.” He counters, staring at my mouth, where I feel a trickle of blood dripping.

snort.

“Cut the good girl posture and change that worried expression, darling.” I no longer believe in their actions, I have enough reason to cause any harm to this family.

Her posture becomes more rigid, haughty, and she presses her thin lips together, in a nervous gesture, I can see.

“So that’s what you came for?” Are you going to go out hitting everyone in the house?

“First, I didn’t have time to hit anyone, you arrived and stopped me at party time. Second, I was the only one attacked. ” I point to my mouth.

“Please go away.” She asks, almost BEGGING.

I look at Guilhermino who stares back at me, his expression is serious, and his jaw is set.

He carries the same hatred that I do for this family, despite not carrying the desire for revenge with him, he wants the ruin of Augusto Leal in the same way.

“Where are you, Amelia?” I ask.

Augusto snorts, crossing his arms. Giving me a smug look.

“Like I said earlier, you’re late. She left a few seconds before you arrived, she left the country with her mother.” I feel a bitter in my mouth, a bad feeling takes over my body and all I can do is deny with my head.

“You’re lying.” I state, hating the victorious smile he keeps on his face.

” It’s true, Amelia decided to accompany her mother on a trip for cultural purposes.” My sister is finally going to do the exchange program she’s been putting off for so long and Anna has decided to go with her daughter.

I stare in disbelief at the face of the woman I thought I loved, not believing any of her words, despite her soft tone and convincing speech, I know something is wrong.

Sister?

Oh, please.

Since when does she call Amelia her sister?

“I don’t believe anything you say.” Growl, impatient.

She lets out a muffled cry, startled by my reaction, and puts her hand back on her stomach, as if to remind me that she’s pregnant.

Sigh, frustrated.

” She’s gone, she doesn’t want to see him or have any connections with him anymore, she’s chosen her family as she should be. Now, get off my property, or I’ll call the police. ” The damn loyal speaks, ripping out my last bit of patience, and I advance on him, pull him by the collar and punch him in the face.

Aurora screams in alarm and Guilhermino comes to pull me off the man.

” Good job. ” My friend says, patting his shoulder.

My breathing is ragged, and I can’t take my eyes off my enemy, completely surrendered to the ground. He glares at me.

“You’re going to pay for this, boy.” Threat.

Aurora crouches on her father’s side and checks the man’s nose, out of the corner of her eye I can see security guards running towards us and I know it’s time to back off.

” Let’s go. Guilhermino calls, hitting my arm.” He probably saw the security guards too.

“She left, she was in the car that passed you at the gate.” Aurora explains, her voice trembling due to the nervousness that the situation must have caused her.

I remember the car she talks about, it was leaving the residence when we arrived, and it was precisely because of it that we managed to pass through the gate.

Did she really leave? After the night we had?

Do not.

She wouldn’t leave me after all, they must have done something.

This cannot be true.

Guilhermino pulls me out and puts me in the car, taking the wheel. I hear my ex-wife screaming for them to open the gate, but it could just be mind making as I’m lost in my thoughts.

“Dude, are you okay?” I look at his face, kind of coming out of a trance and frown, realizing from the landscape that we are no longer on the Leal property.

I don’t answer it, though.

I pull out my phone and search for his name, swiping my fingers across the screen when I find it.

She’s different, I didn’t feel all those things alone. Amelia gave herself to me like no other woman, she’s mine now.

I won’t let her go that fucking easy!

” Let’s go to the airport. ” I say determined.

I feel Guilhermino’s gaze on me, but he does as I ask, taking the path to the nearest airport.

“This is crazy.” she whispers, making a dangerous overtake.

My cell phone beeps at the same time he stops at a red light, I growl, ordering him to continue.

“Not at all, man. Just speak your mouth and wait. She says, keeping her eyes locked on the traffic light.

I stare at the phone, feeling my heart race when I see my girl’s name appear.

” It’s her.” I speak only for myself.

I put it in the message a little desperate.

I’m leaving indefinitely, please don’t look for me or call me during this time. You hate my family and there’s no way we can work out, I choose them over you. Forget about us and live your life away from us.

I read and reread the message ten times in disbelief.

What the hell is that?

Do not. She can’t be serious.

I press the call button and it goes straight to voicemail, she must have already boarded. I slam my cell phone against the car radio, irritated by the repetitive melody coming out of the speaker.

“What the fuck! What got into you? I’m going as fast as I can. ” William protests.

I fix my posture, returning to serious and nonchalant.

“Forget it, let’s go home.” It’s time to getback to the original plan and forget about distractions.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
