My dad should have been worried, but had he realized that I wasn't number one? I very much hoped not.
I got home and entered very quietly, it seemed that no one had woken up yet, I almost screamed in fright when I heard someone's voice.
"Your dad will love to know you're screwing the foreman!" —it was Kristen.
"What are you…" she cut me off.
“I know where you were, and I'll tell your father.
- Can count! I don't mind. Demetrius will also tell him about the lie you made up, saying that you are pregnant with him and that you are engaged. You liar and cynic, go find a madhouse, you need treatment. Crazy! I raged.
Her face turned pale and she swallowed hard.
I pushed her and ran upstairs to my room, I decided to take a peek at my father's room to see if he was sleeping, if he had come home yesterday. I frowned when I saw him cuddling with a woman under the duvet. It was Mary. I squinted as I closed the door, avoiding any noise and evidence that I saw them.
They were perfect for each other.
I entered my room, locked the door and leaned against the cold wall, breathing a sigh of relief, then a huge goofy smile took over my lips as I remembered my night with Demetrius. I was so happy, I loved him.
I removed all my clothes, put them in the laundry basket and took a hot and long shower, only there I felt the muscle pain, the middle of my thighs hurt. When I got out, I dried off and put on a light dress and loose panties and lay down on the bed.
I took a long breath, everything had worked out, I was closing my eyes, when light knocks sounded at the door.
- Who is it? I asked.
— It's me, Maria. he whispered .
I got up running to open it and pulled her inside locking the door again.
— Hey Livia, where did you go last night? I looked for you and I didn't find you. - Maria questioned, worried.
— Calm down... — I started to whisper — I was with Demetrius.
“I guessed, but I worried anyway . And how it was? she asked , curious.
— It was amazing... — I lowered my voice, feeling my face warm — We made love.
"You what?" she exclaimed in surprise.
— Maria, do you think I made a mistake? Was it too fast? I asked apprehensively.
- Of course not my love! You love each other. He hugged me .
— Maria, I'm sorry ... But it's just... I saw you with my father, and I want you to know that...
— Lívia, Heitor and I have liked each other for a while, and yesterday it happened, don't get upset, it's very important that we have your approval, after all, you are everything to your father.
— I am not at all upset, on the contrary, I want to say that I am very happy for you!
"Don't tell anyone for now, okay?" Don't even mention it to him, I love him, but he's very secretive about it outside the bedroom. Inside it, well...
“Mari, you can withhold these details about my father from me. she laughed .
"I want him to feel comfortable . Yesterday he looked for you, I made up that you were tired and insisted that he not go see you.
- Thank you very much! I hugged her.
A few seconds later, another knock sounded on the door. I went there, unlocked it and opened it, I saw my beautiful father, looking radiant, he took one look into the room and his cheeks flushed as he looked at Maria and gave her a smile.
If it weren't for my dad, I'd melt with that smile too.
- Good morning daughter. Good morning Maria.
- Good morning Mr. Hector. I'll prepare breakfast. Maria rose hastily and brushed past him at the door.
- Maria? he called.
- Yes?
“Please, it's just Hector for you.
- Father? — I caught his attention and pulled him into the room — Are you okay?
“I'm fine, honey. And you?
“I'm fine too. Today I have to go to the city, I was summoned.
I feel my heart tighten, my father cannot be arrested for something he did because of me, however, justice is a drug and a corrupt policeman often gets what he wants just by having a status there within their midst.
- Father...
“Whatever happens, I will always fight for you.
Should I or shouldn't I tell you that bastard Leonel tried to abuse me? Would that help or make things worse?

While I wasn't resolving my impasse, my father's phone rang and he left to answer the call. I frowned, intrigued, he could very well answer next to me, so I didn't contain my curiosity and went back to listen.
- What? But how? You have to help me! I'm capable of doing something crazy for her. he was trying to whisper, but he was so worked up that I could hear every word clearly .
- Father? — I approached — What happened?
He then hung up the phone, took my hand and entered his room, closing the door and pulling me to sit on the small sofa in the corner that was in the room.
- Who was on the phone? You looked very nervous. - I insisted and watched him put his hands on his face and rub, I hugged him trying to comfort him.
— I have to go to the city to solve a problem. He got up abruptly.
- What problem? Go to the police station? What are you going to do? Let me go with you. Please.
I felt like he was about to do something stupid, acting on impulse at the time of anger wouldn't help the situation at all, part of me also knew that he wouldn't just go to the police station. My father looked too angry not to want to take the law into his own hands.
Who knows, maybe it wasn't a trap by Mariana and her boyfriend, to make my father lose his mind and go out of his mind, beat the bastard and be arrested in the act. There were several theories.
- No! You stay. I'll take care of everything, trust me. He opened the bedroom door and left.
- Father? I ran after him.
“I am your father and I will protect you. He walked so fast he was already at his car door.
— You said you were subpoenaed, is that the police station you're going to? I have something that might make you rethink that complaint.
- What is it? — he doesn't look calm anymore.
I moved closer, so as not to scream.
— Leonel... He tried to abuse me once, I can denounce him.
"That son of a bitch did what?" - my father shouted, more furious than before - I'm sorry, my daughter, I can't do nothing about it. I'm going to kill that bastard! He got into the car and reversed at high speed, pulling away.
“Shit! Why did I speak? That didn't help at all, it made everything worse! Anywhere I spoke, my father would react that way. I muttered to myself.
Please daddy... Don't do anything stupid.
Anguish gripped my heart and a crying fit hit me.
"Crying because Demetrius already dumped you?" Did he get tired of playing house with the little girl?
"Shut the damn mouth!" Go to hell! Bad time to fill my bag!
- Look...
"Just shut your mouth, you crazy girl!" Leave me alone, hell! He is going to screw it up!
I was fed up! He would never bow his head to anyone again.
From afar I saw Demetrius, without thinking twice I ran to find him, my only comfort for the affliction that tightened my chest.
"Demetrius, hi..." I hugged him tight.
— Linda... I missed you too. — she returned a strong and comforting hug, but pulled away the moment she noticed my sob — What happened? Did your father fight you? Did he find out we slept together? He grabbed my chin and looked into my eyes with concern.
— No — I shook my head — He got a call, I think from the lawyer, I'm not sure, and he went crazy, he went to town saying he was going to solve a problem, but before he went, I told him about what Leonel tried to do, that this could help us, however it made everything worse, he got much angrier and drove away at high speed.
Demetrius clenched his fists.
— I understand, Livia. I also wanted to come face to face with this bastard and make him pay for what he did.
“Demetrius! It doesn't help. My dad can't commit a crime, or even have an accident the way he left here upset.
“Okay, I'm sorry. We're going after him, in my truck. You wonder where he went, right?
— Yes... Very likely he went after Mariana and Leonel.
- Okay, let's go.
We immediately got into his car and left the farm, I was nervous, my hands were sweaty, I was worried to death. I told Demétrio the address of the house where I lived and after an hour at high speed, we arrived.
