##Chapter 45

The only thing I knew was that it was morning, because it was so hot. My whole body ached and my legs were full of the blood that came out of me. Did my period come a second time in the month? And in that amount?
I felt severe pains in my stomach, it felt like I was going to die. I cried all the time, I wanted my father, I wanted my boyfriend, I wanted my house.
My heart sped up with fear when Leonel entered the damp and dirty room I was in and took me by the arm, dragging me out.
— Come on, your father will pay good money for you and I will finally be free of you again, you are unbearable girl. Mariana spoke from where she was, standing in the doorway.
What a desire to kill that woman I had. What harm have I done to her? What harm have I done them both?
I suppressed the urge to cry harder when every move I made, my body ached.
They put me in a car anyway, covered my eyes with a smelly and dirty cloth, my hands were still tied, so they tied my feet and covered my mouth.
With every rocking of the damn car, I felt my organs jumping inside me, a tremendous pain, and I cried again, no longer tears, but it was genuine, until finally the car stopped.
A few minutes later, I heard voices.
- Where is the money? Leonel asked first.
"I want my daughter first!" — the relief was so great to hear my father's voice, that I almost fainted.
I wanted to scream for my father, for him to help me, to save me, but the disgusting cloth stopped me.
- You bastard! Son of a bitch! I'll kill you! Where's my girlfriend? — it was Demétrio, another crying crisis hit me knowing that I was so close to the loves of my life.
I heard noises similar to punches and kicks, probably Demetrius went on top of the bastard.
"Stop, stop!" We just want the money for the girl and let's go! - Mariana shouted.
"You didn't come armed, did you?" Do you think we're that stupid? That I would give you money for something that is already mine? Livia is mine and you won't get out of here unpunished. I heard my father say.
- Let me go! Marianne begged.
"Did you release my daughter when she asked?" Because she must have begged for it, bitch!
police sirens but I was so weak I saw nothing but darkness, trying at all costs to stay awake, wanting my father and Demetrius, afraid to close my eyes and it would all be a dream. But I couldn't contain the darkness that surrounded me.

After the call confirming the place where we would deliver the money for Lívia, we came up with a plan, if I saw that they were unarmed we would discreetly call the police, the police were already waiting a few meters away.
The moment I saw the way that disgusting man disdained my Livia, I couldn't stand it, I didn't care if they were armed or not, I just wanted to throttle the son of a bitch, hit him and make him feel pain.
I slashed, taking my hate out, making him pay, until his damn eyes fluttered shut. Before getting up, I made sure I had killed and unfortunately not, I thought about finishing the job, but the police sirens sounded.
Heitor was holding Mariana when I got up to look for Lívia inside the car.
My heart broke into a million pieces when I found her with her hands and feet tied and her mouth covered. I wanted to go back there and kill them, but Livia needed me.
- Beautiful? Are you listening to me? Can I touch you without causing you pain? Are you hurt? I removed the blindfold from her eyes, the cloth from her mouth and untied her hands.
How can you? How can a mother get together with a despicable man and be capable of doing such evil to her own daughter, a girl as sweet as Livia, who never hurt anyone?
I was nonconformist, with so much hate that I just wanted to roar. My hand was hurt from having beaten Leonel, but I punched the car again, hard enough for my hand to bleed, however, the pain was nothing compared to what I felt when I saw my Lívia like this.
— Livia, my love! Talk to me. — when she didn't answer me, I took her with all the care in the world — We have to take her to the hospital! I yelled at Mr. Hector.
- My God... What did they do to you, princess? — he spoke with his face bathed in tears — My love... I'm sorry, I should have taken care of you.
We quickly got into the car, I held her tight in my arms, Heitor was driving and he didn't say a word, just me, who was always talking to Lívia, even though she was unconscious.
We arrived at the hospital and they attended to her immediately, getting on a stretcher with an urgent case sign. Me and Mr. Heitor we stayed in the waiting room, desperate, walking from one side to the other. I was about to pull my own hair out, punch the walls and go back in there and finish killing the bastard.
Some time later, a doctor appeared, looking relaxed.
— Relative of Livia Garden?
- It's us! — I said, euphoric and Heitor and I went towards the doctor.
- She is fine? — Mr. Hector asked impatiently.
— Yes, first of all, she is fine, her life is not in danger, although she has lost a lot of blood due to the stress and impact on her belly. I don't know if you knew, but when we did the tests on her and an ultrasound of the organs in her abdomen to try to detect a possible hemorrhage, the patient is pregnant.
My knees nearly gave out to the floor, my heart pounding so hard I thought I was going to pass out from the impacts. The only time I lost control, the next day she took the pill, it was 99% effective, are we victims of the 1%?
- As? - Hector questioned, perplexed.
- Pregnant? I mumbled the question.
"Calm down, you're very pale." - the doctor said to me - Given the reactions, I suppose they didn't know. The patient is four weeks pregnant, very recently, and it is a real miracle that she has not miscarried. She's doing well, do you want to see her?
— Mr. Heitor... I... - I didn't know what to say when I looked at my father-in-law.
"I'm going to be a grandfather!" I don't believe! Why didn't you tell me anything? 4 weeks? He cracked a smile, which made me completely relieved.
“I didn't know either. — I scratched my head, still airy, my chip hadn't sunk in yet.
We walked to the corridor and went together with the doctor into the room where Lívia was, I saw her sitting on the bed, she was clean and wearing her hospital clothes. I immediately ran to hug her.
Feeling my world in my arms again.
"Demetrius... Father..." Hector also came and we both hugged her.
— Thank God you are here my daughter.
“It was awful dad. It broke me even more as the tears filled her eyes.
"Nothing bad will ever happen to you again!" I promise, no one will ever hurt you again, beautiful. I promised , placing a kiss on her forehead.
— Daughter, do you already know about the baby? Hector asked seriously.
- Baby? Did something happen to Maria? Livia asked, confused.
— It shouldn't be a surprise if they weren't forewarned, otherwise I understand the astonishment. You are pregnant. the doctor announced.
— What kind of professional are you? Why didn't you let us tell her? We warned ourselves, take care of your life! I said, staring at the asshole doctor, feeling my nerves on edge.
He just nodded and was quiet.
— I... I'm speechless — Lívia replied — The only time that... I took the pill — she faced her father — Are you mad?
— Bravo? No , on the contrary! Thank you so much, I'm having a grandson! - he said, smiling and hugged me tight.

I couldn't believe the news I had just received, I was pregnant! My God, what happiness invaded me. I didn't know how my reaction would be when I found out that I would be a mother someday and despite my age, I was very happy.
It wasn't part of my plans, I didn't even think about it. I believe that the way I was raised, without much information and my years at school, lonely, without friends, left me without this concern in my head.
So much so that when Demetrius didn't pull out of me in time, I didn't freak out as much about the possibility. We just sort it out. I took the pill.
Now it didn't matter anymore, I was happy and it was really a miracle that the blood I lost had not been a miscarriage. I think I needed that joy. I wouldn't overcome my traumas so soon, but the tenderness in my heart when I found out I was expecting a child, took all my attention away from the nightmare I went through.
I smiled at my love, he was pale and looked scared. We would have a baby. A baby, mine and Demetrio's, the man of my life.
My father's reaction was beautiful.
“Linda, I was getting everything ready when the bastards took you. I don't want to waste another second. Demetrius spoke and knelt down.
- What are you doing? I asked, my heart racing.
- Will you marry me? He took a box out of his pocket and opened it, revealing a beautiful pair of rings.
- Of course! My heart was overflowing with joy.
- You are the love of my life. I love you more than anything. he declared and tears streamed down my face.
