Chapter 32

         As soon as we sit down to have breakfast at the table, the twins come over and say good morning with a nice hug. I love their affection, because not everyone in this house wants me well! Who does Renata think she is to hold my man like that. She thinks I'm silly, but I know a gunslinger from afar! If she thinks she's going to win over Alex, she's very wrong. And she doesn't know who she's messing with. I feel like I'm being watched by my Alex and I wink at him, receiving a beautiful panty-wetting smile. How many times had we made love? Look, I lost count.
"What are you thinking so much about, my love?
" he asks and I smile mysteriously and at the same time sensual.
     I realize he's got my message when he shoots me a lustful look.
For God's sake, what does this man have? Is he a nymphomaniac? Just think about sex?
— Keep that look at me that today we won't leave the house!
- he declares, I smile pretending innocence as if I don't know anything and I hear one of the twins say:
"Are we staying at home too?
" Valentina asks and I laugh.
“Nobody's staying home,” Alex replies, and I look sad.
“What a fine example, dear, you're setting,” he says, noticing my face.
“I don't know what you're talking about, honey,” I tease him with a wink and we all laugh.

 We started having breakfast.
Everything is delicious, Renata cooks well, it's a shame it's not worth anything.
"Aren't you going to have juice, Jack?
" asked Caio when he saw that I hadn't stirred my juice. I drink so as not to make a fuss, because each one had already finished his own.
“Here's my empty glass.
I reply with a grimace. I was never a big fan of orange juice, I drink it because of the vitamins contained in the fruit.
— Jack doesn't like juice… — Valentina jokes and I shrug, not agreeing and not disagreeing either.

"Jack, you're not leaving today, are you?
" - Gaius asks worried and I laugh.
- Rest assured, son, if it's up to me, Jackeline won't leave anymore - Alex speaks with such certainty that I believe him and my heart leaps for joy.

“I'm just going to skip work and then I'm going to the agency.
I warn Alex. I want to get into the model's story soon,” I say to the twins and also to Alex, who smiles.
“I'll walk you to work, honey,” he says and I think it's cute.

“Alex, you know I have to talk to my boss about us.

“I know, honey, I just don't want you to delay,” he replies and I smile.

   My mind starts to wander and I remember that we had to deal with another matter about the model who wasn't leaving them alone.
Yesterday, after we'd made love several times, we were in bed talking and he told me about his wife. I already knew the story, but knowing the details made me so sad, I even cried.
“Hey…” Alex calls me and I snap back to the present.

“Sorry, it was a long way off,” I blurt out, not wanting to bring to the table the conversation we had between four walls.

- Are you okay?
he asks me, I could see the concern in his eyes.
- Yes I'm fine.
Now let's take the twins to school - I say and look at the person who hates me. — Oh, Renata. I hope you don't mind, I'm leaving Little Star here.
     And when she was about to answer, Alex takes my hand and Caio asks.

"So, Dad, are you and Jack really dating?
"
— Yes, Gaius.
I hope it doesn't bother you guys,” I say with a smile, but I'm afraid they won't accept my relationship with Alex.
“We want you to live with us, Jack,” Valentina says.
She gets up and gives me a hug. Glad to see you're all right. — I'll stay here for a few days with you — I answer quickly. — We want you to live here. Let's be a big family - Caio says and I feel my eyes fill with tears.
“Calm down, kids, don't scare Jackeline.
OK?! - Alex jokes and I know he was also happy with the acceptance of the children.
“Stop, Alex, they're not scaring me,” I joke too and bring the twins into my arms, swearing I want to protect them from all harm.

- My loves, let's go out so we won't be late - Alex warns.

       Before leaving, I decide to provoke Renata.
She looked at me with hate.
— Ah, Renata, you still haven't answered me.

- About?
She comments as if she doesn't remember anything I've said.
"You don't mind keeping my girlfriend's dog?
" Alex asks.
       When he says my girlfriend, I smile and he returns it.
If it was any other time, I would shoot something at his head, but after tonight I have other thoughts.
"I don't mind, Senhor Mendonca.
" Rest in peace, Little Star is in good hands.
       She lies and we both know she is very pissed off, but I smile in thanks.

“Now kids, let's get our things to go out,” I call to them.

    Everyone leaves the kitchen, and when I go out, Renata takes my arm, looking at me furiously and says:
“You're going to pay me dearly, you bitch.
And the price I'll charge is your life!
           She lets go of my arm, and when I go to get satisfaction, I hear Alex call out to me.
I take a deep breath, go to the living room, but I feel that she is capable of fulfilling her promise. I arrive in the room, Alex is holding my backpack, with my gun.
- Some problem?
Alex asks.
- None.
I was just thinking about a few things here! — I divert so as not to worry him.
        We go out, drop the kids off at school, and Alex drops me off at the barracks.
I warn you again that I will meet you at the agency and we say goodbye. And what Renata said couldn't get out of my head. So I keep thinking about the threat...
