RADEMPTION "SHE IS THE DEVIL"

P. O. V LUÍS

I was so happy that Alice has opened up so much since we got together, we were getting closer every day, the only thing that worried me was the bad moods she was having as soon as I arrived at the agency I asked Nick to make an appointment with her doctor, even though she was wearing a chip I was afraid she might be pregnant or worse, sick. I spent a few hours in my office working, Luna showed up in my office asking me to lunch with Alice and of course I accepted, but I started hearing some screams from Alice and someone else seemed to be my mother so we got up and went to Alice's room and when we arrived I heard that Luna was my daughter, for a split second my world stopped I did not know what to say or what to say, the two women I love were fighting and hid it from me, how could they have hidden that Luna was my daughter, I always said I hate lies.

Luna started to freak out and curse Alice and even my mother and ran out. Without a second thought I ran after her, I couldn't leave her alone like that, if I felt betrayed, imagine her, her whole life has been a lie.

Luis - Luna, princess, where are you going? don't run please, you can't leave like this, all nervous.

Luna - I can't stay here, everyone lied to me, everyone my life is a lie - I slowly approach her and hug her - Get out, you lied to me too, let me go - Luna

Luis - hey calm down, I swear I didn't know anything, I didn't know that you are my daughter, I swear. I was fooled too, I am as surprised as you are - she slowly calmed down. - Come on, let's get out of here, everyone is staring at us, let's go somewhere quieter.

Luna - where to? - sobbing -

Luis - I don't know, we'll find out - let's just get out of here princess

Luna was crying the whole way and didn't say a word, I didn't want to force her into anything, I imagine it is hard, I am pissed off, how could everyone hide me, Tom that asshole, I helped him find out about Matteo and he did this to me, my mother knew and didn't tell me anything, Annie sure she knew everything and fooled me and the worst of all Alice who keeps telling everyone that she hates lies, look what she did, seeing Luna suffer is killing me, I decide to go with her in a place that I always liked to go a reserve that has, there no one would find us and the best without cell phone signal so no one would disturb us

Before going there I went to a grocery store nearby and bought water, some things to eat and medicine for sure she would have a headache from crying so much my particularly is exploding. She said nothing but looked at me curiously, I asked her if she wanted something, she took some chocolates and threw them in the basket that was in my hands and lastly I took a repellent.

Luna - why did you buy all this? are you going to kidnap me?

Luis - you are my daughter, so it's not kidnapping - I smiled - but no, I won't kidnap you, I will only show you a place, we need peace, to be able to think and I think this place is perfect. So we can also talk and get to know each other better

Luna - I don't know if I want to talk

Luis - You don't have to if you don't want to, but you need a quiet place to try to get your head right?

Luna - yes I do, can we go soon?

Luis - Sure, in 10 minutes we will arrive.

we got back to the car and I drove to the reservation as I said it only took 10 minutes for us to arrive, she looked at everything carefully loved the place there at the entrance the cell phone still ringing then mine rang, I answered it because I saw that it was the company, but the signal was horrible, I left it aside, they could survive one day without me.

Luis - well let's walk around I bet you will love it, we just can not leave the trail

Luna - ok

we walked along the trail and she was very quiet at first but little by little she started to talk to me about the place, how much she liked it and other things, but I could see how she was avoiding talking about it and I would not force her, we sat on a tree trunk and started to eat the snacks I bought, we had juice and then she started to eat the chocolate, I saw that it was getting late

Luis - Princess, it is wonderful to be with you, but it is getting dark and rainy, we need to go, it is dangerous at night

Luna - I do not want to go

Luis - I promise I will bring you here more often

Luna - I don't want to go to my home, I don't want to see her - her eyes watered

Luis - One day we will have to face her, you know that

Luna - I know, but not today please

Luis - okay, do you want to go to my place?

Luna - I don't want to see grandma either, she lied too, aren't you angry with them?

Luis - very much so, but right now you are my priority, I want you to be well

Luna - If you want my welfare don't take me to them, I don't know, let's go to Aunt Annie's apartment, I have the keys

Luis - fine, we can do that, then let's go, the weather is getting more and more closed we need to go down

Luna - ok

We went downstairs quickly with some trying not to take rain more some drops we hit, as soon as I got into my car I saw that I had numerous calls from Nick and message saying that he needed me that Alice was fainted and needed help

P. O. V AUTHOR

Luís was no longer coping with the delay, when he decides to get up to try again for some information two doctors appear

XX - Maria Alice's relatives

Luis - That's me Doctor, can you tell me what she has?

XX - Well first of all my name is Oliver and this is my friend Allie and we are working together in the case of Mrs. Maria Alice

Luna - what does my mother have?

Allie - well Mrs. Alice came in here unconscious and if she was not attended in time she would have overdosed - very little missed

Allie - is she ok then?

Oliver - not exactly, we did a stomach pump on her, getting all the toxins out, for her and the babies sake

ALL - BABIES????? - shocked

Allie - Yes babies, well it seems you didn't know about this pregnancy did you?

Luna - you said plural? am I going to have siblings?

Allie - yes, young lady you will have two brothers or sisters isn't that nice? - smiles - but now we need to take care of them and their mother

Luis - and how are the three of you?

Olliver - well I don't know if I told you, but I am specialized in Hepatology and my colleague is an Obstetrician Gynecologist, she will take care of the whole pregnancy and birth and well in my case I will take care of her health.

Alê - swallows dryly - Hepatology? What's wrong with her?

Olliver - Well Alice has a very serious case of liver cirrhosis, we should start treatment immediately, but because of the babies

Luna - what will happen to my mother? and my brothers?

Allie - the babies are fine, one is 12 weeks and the other is 11 weeks

Allie - What do you mean? different weeks? is that possible?

Allie - Yes it is possible, she probably related at different times while ovulating

Nick - But doctor, Alice has been using the chip for years, she always does the exchange, everything is correct

Allie - Well madam, as you must know no contraceptive method is 100% safe and in this case it was not safe at two different times

Luna - so you mean these babies will not be identical twins?

Allie - no they will not be, well what can I say that for now everything is fine but Doctor Olliver and I have decided that for their sake and for Dulce Maria's sake we will leave her in an induced coma, we will be researching with other colleagues the best way to treat the 3. This way Maria Alice will not feel pain

Alice - Is the stage of the disease advanced?

Olliver - well let's say yes, but we will control and try to treat as much as possible, but we cannot rule out the need for liver transplantation

Nick - can we see her?

Olliver - Well, I know you are all concerned but not today, because it is past visiting hours and she is in ICU to monitor her better, tomorrow we will release her from ICU transferring her to a room and then you can visit and there should always be someone accompanying 24 hours, I do not know if you want to hire nurses or review between you, you will have time for that.

Allie - well we need to take care of other patients, any questions, you can look for us, we promise to take care of the three, see you later.

Luna began to cry compulsively and Luis hugged her tightly kissing the top of her head

Luis- daughter don't be like that, don't cry your mother will be fine

Luna - I told her that I hate her and if she dies? she will die thinking that I hate her, I don't hate her, I am just hurt, I am angry because they lied, but I don't hate her.

Luis - I know honey you don't and she knows it too

Luna - no she does not know that is why she did it, she wanted to die, she thought that no one else loved her, I need to tell her that I love her, I need her to be well, I need her to wake up, I need to tell her how much she hurt me but I still love her.

Luis - You will say, she will wake up, her brothers will be fine and so will her mother, I am also upset with her, but let's think positive, okay? now let's all go home, we have nothing else to do here today

Luna - I want to stay

Alê - this is no place for you honey, let's go to grandma's house, we will rest tomorrow and you will come back

Luna - I don't want anything from you and I don't want to go to your house, Uncle take me to my house, can you sleep with me? - Alexandra begins to cry copiously and shuts up.

Luis - disappointed to hear Luna calling him uncle and then she notices - yes, whatever you want princess, I just need to go home and get some clothes

Luna - I'm sorry for calling you dad, but everything is still very new to me.

Luís - No problem, let's go, bye Nick, thanks for taking care of everything and letting us know - kisses Nick, who hugs and kisses both of them - now let's go.

The two leave leaving Nick and Alexandra at the hospital

Nick - Ma'am, don't be like that, she is just nervous, it's all new to her and now there is more of this from Alice.

Alê - They hate me Nick, did you see the way she spoke to me, the way my son is ignoring me.

Nick - They love you, they are just upset, soon they will get back to their good ways with you, don't be like that, be patient, let's go home now shall we?

Alê - I hope so honey, yes let's go home, I know you came in the ambulance so let's give you a ride, but first could you go to dinner with me? I don't want to eat alone

Nick - Sure, I would love to keep you company

Alê - great, I'll take you to an amazing place - smiles weakly -.

The two leave, go straight to an organic food restaurant, and chat while eating.

Luís goes to his house, gets a change of clothes and goes to Alice's house to stay with Luna, on the way he passes MC DONALD'S and buys a snack for each, Luna eats after he insisted so much, goes up to take a shower and soon falls asleep. Luís goes to the guest room, but takes a while to fall asleep because he keeps thinking about everything that has happened in the last 24 hours.

P.O.V TOM

My world felt like it was about to come crashing down, my head was exploding, I told Tom over the top what was going on and he is a very empathetic boy, I was very proud of that.

Tom - son do you know that we have to leave? I'm sorry, I wanted to stay here longer, even more now that you know that I am your father.

Matteo - Alright, we have our whole lives to be together and this is an emergency, can I come with you to the hospital? I want to see Luna, give her support, after all she is my sister isn't she ? - smiles weakly -

Tom - she'll need it, thanks, let's go to the hotel and pack our bags and ask your mom to prepare the jet.

We went to the hotel, which was very close, I told Kim about Alice's situation and, incredibly, she didn't care and made a point to remind me of the threat, saying that I would have to stay away from Alice.

Tom - furious - I SAID I WILL STAY WITH YOU, BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, SHE IS NOT MY FAMILY, SHE IS MY CHILD'S MOTHER AND ALSO I AM LEGALLY MARRIED TO HER, I AM LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR HER AND LUNA, I HAVE TO BE THERE

Kim - fuck you, you're mine now

Tom - I AM NOT YOUR OBJECT OR PROPERTY, WE ARE GOING BACK THERE IMMEDIATELY AND ARE YOU GOING WITH US OR DO YOU WANT TO GET YOUR CHILD OUT? BECAUSE HE REALLY WANTS TO GO SEE LUNA

Kim - just know that you owe me one, as soon as you resolve this whole situation I want you far away from that bitch and her little bitch daughter

Tom - raises his hand and gives up - lucky for you that I am not a coward and don't hit women, but never again hold your mouth open to talk about my daughter or even Alice, you are no better than Alice and not worthy of talking something so dirty about a child. - Matteo enters - hey son do you need something? -

Matteo - No, it's just that I heard screams, is everything okay here?

Kim: Yes son, your father is a bit nervous, he is worried about Alice and Luninha, isn't that right Tom?

Tom - Yes son, that's all, you can relax

Matteo - OK, mom, have you already got the jet so that we can go?

Kim - I will do it right now, my son

Matteo - Great, can I go to a little shop next to the hotel? I want to buy something for Luna that I saw there

Tom - of course, just be careful - I take out my wallet and hand over the card - you can use this card, come here to tell me the password - he comes closer and I speak in his ear - it is Luna's birthday -

Matteo - okay, thank you

Tom - you will not forget?

Matteo - never - smiles - I'll be right back

Kim - be careful son

Matteo leaves and the mood gets heavy but soon my phone rings and it was Annie, my heart I don't know why was like a samba school when I saw her picture on the cell phone.

Connection on

Tom - anxious - Annie? how nice to hear your voice

Annie - Don't even start Tom, we don't have time for this, everyone is looking for you, why don't you answer your damn phone, were you fucking the witch?

Tom - rebuke - Annie, no I wasn't, I was with my son, I just told him I'm the father, I went out to talk to him and left my cell phone charging

Annie - ironic - aaaaah how cute while he plays house with the family of his dreams, Maria Alice and Luna need you, you idiot, Alice can die and you are there enjoying

Tom - hey calm down, I know you are nervous but don't take it out on me, I already talked to Beckermann, he called Matteo, I am leaving as soon as the jet is ready we will go.

Annie - ironic - and you want me to congratulate you? well i won't, it's the least you can do

Tom - are you coming back?

Annie - what a stupid question is obvious, my best friend and my goddaughter needs me, we'll see you there imbecile

Hangs up without even giving her a chance to say anything, I don't even know why she's like this, I didn't do anything special. But anyway, when we see her I'll try to find out. Kim finally got the jet we would leave at 1 o'clock in the morning, then we would have time to pack our things and then have dinner at a restaurant, although the atmosphere was pretty heavy between me and Kim, I took the time to get to know my son better, he tried at all costs to make me laugh because he knew how much I was worried about Alice and Luna, after dinner at the hotel restaurant, we took a walk in the streets nearby and returned to the room to rest before returning home.

***

The trip was a little long but we slept almost the whole way so we arrived in Sydney went straight to the hospital where Dulce was and Kim for your home when we got there Annie had already arrived and was crying hugging a man and that made my whole body tensing with anger, but it was not time or place for that, was also Nick with a distressed face and Alexandra, did not find my daughter and Beckermann

Tom - hello, can someone tell me how things are going? where is my daughter?

Annie - came to me and started to slap me - finally here you idiot, what a delay

I hugged her tight trying to calm her down, I knew she was nervous, Annie was always intense

Tom - calm down Annie, I need you to tell me everything, but first I want to know where Luna is

Annie - she is inside with her mother and Luis

Tom - right, and Alice? how is she ?

When Annie was about to start telling me everything, Luna appeared hugging Luis, crying, I was very upset to see my daughter so sad, I couldn't stand to see her suffer

Tom - daughter, my princess - I tried to approach her
