Synopsis
AGE GAP • BOSS/SECRETARY • FAST BURN • SINGLE DAD • UNEXPECTED PREGNANCY DIEGO BITTENCOURT For a long time I thought power and money were everything. I built an empire, made enemies and allies in the business world, and it all cost me more than I was willing to admit. When I met Maria Gabriela, I saw in her a woman who challenged me, who didn’t bow to my authority. It was precisely that strength that drew me in and, at the same time, turned me into the monster I never thought I could be. I hurt the woman I loved, and that’s a burden I carry every single day. My story doesn’t need a villain — I became that villain myself... MARIA GABRIELA When I took the job at Amacel Corporation, my only goal was to learn and grow professionally. I had dreams, plans, a whole life ahead of me. But I got entangled with my boss, Diego Bittencourt, a man who, underneath the charm, hid a cold, calculating side. What started as an irresistible attraction became a nightmare that left me scarred. To be humiliated, disbelieved, and, on top of everything, to have to deal with an unexpected pregnancy—it was more than I ever thought I could bear. But I survived, and now I would have my revenge... EXCERPT: “I’ll say it one last time: I used a condom!” “Condoms aren’t 100% effective, and—” “Listen to me, Maria Gabriela! If you bring up a paternity test one more time, or if you say that child is mine again, I swear I’ll make your life a living hell—and you won’t want that for the baby! And from now on, I never want to see you in front of me again, clear?” I swallowed my sob and stared him down. “It’d be my pleasure to never look at you again, you idiot!” I stomped out of the hall, but deep down I knew I’d get my revenge one day, and now—after his words—I’d go to hell if I had to to prove he was the father of that baby, or my name isn’t Maria Gabriela Oliveira.
