Episode 19

Mariana is embarrassed and recomposes herself, Gustavo smiles and speaks* so you thought about what we talked about?

"I thought about it and decided that I will tell Ranielly who his father is, but I don't understand why you want to assume Ranielly's paternity."

Gustavo takes a deep breath * believe me, I want to meet him and take care of him, give him my last name and a way to protect him.

Mariana is curious * protect him from what?

Gustavo * trust me, until recently I believed that nobody knew about Ranielly's existence, but that's not true.

Mariana * be clear.

Gustavo * my father discovered his existence before he died and modified the will, benefiting the firstborn grandson, that was the way he found to rest in peace.

Mariana * and what does my son have to do with it?

Gustavo * Ranielly is the firstborn grandson, since the other son my brother had is a year younger.

Mariana you want to register my son because of a damn will, she gets up and walks away hastily, Gustavo follows her and holds her hand he is coming back and you think it's because he cares about the child.

Mariana freezes in place* he's coming back to the country.

Gustavo * yes, in 4 months he's bringing his son for a change of scenery since my sister-in-law died in a sudden car accident.

Mariana gets nervous* you think....

Gustavo * yes, the same thing you're thinking, you still want to run away from me, Mariana?

Mariana takes a deep breath and goes back to the table.

"why should I trust you, after all, he's his brother."

Gustavo * I won't ask you for anything, but I will show you.

The two continue with dinner.

Ray returns home looking better and Greta is curious.

"You look better."

"I went to the gym and then to the mall."

Greta notices that he is not carrying any bags * did you buy anything?

"no, I was bored, I just went to kill time, he goes to the room."

Greta * with wet hair and smelling of that kind of perfume, tell me another one, he lies more than the one who says good morning to a donkey.

The two are dressed and have already eaten, Ranielly speaks* I want to leave.

Eric is thoughtful and says* let's stay just tonight, we'll leave early tomorrow, but I need to talk to you.

Ranielly * I'm not going to ask you to take any responsibility, after all you are married and I'm already pregnant.

Eric* I want to talk about the father of your child first, and then about us.

Ranielly is surprised * how can you know about him, there is nothing between us.

Eric I wouldn't say that, he approaches and takes Ranielly's hand first I want to know why you went ahead with the pregnancy even without knowing who the father is.

Ranielly * how do you know that?

Eric * just answer, then I'll answer all your questions.

Ranielly does not understand his attitude, but answers * he is my son, how could I get rid of him, and then he is not to blame for what happened, I know it is difficult for someone to believe that I got pregnant being a virgin or was until days ago, but I will keep the baby no matter who the father is.

Eric can see the sincerity in his words and says* you are admirable, but I need to know... do you want to know who the father of your child is?

Ranielly thinks for a moment * to tell you the truth, I never really thought about it, my life changed overnight and how would I face this man and what would his reaction be when he found out about the pregnancy, after all, I would also be a stranger to him.

Eric takes courage and says* that is if you already knew him.

Ranielly * and it's almost impossible since it was an insemination.

Eric I want you to stay calm, finding this out was also a surprise for me, he looks at Ranielly and says I am the father of our son Ranielly, the baby is mine.

Ranielly is shocked, Eric * did you hear me Ranielly, I am the father of the baby you are expecting, the first time I saw you was at college and that day the procedure was done, I was always close to you even without knowing, Eric's voice carries a hint of emotion, but he feels relieved to finally tell the truth.

Ranielly backs away from him* you're crazy, it's not possible, you're married, why would you have a child like that?

Eric * my husband can't get pregnant so this was the way out, I just didn't expect you to get pregnant by mistake.

Ranielly feels his emotions on edge and shouts* what are you planning, that I have my child and hand him over to you to raise as a happy family...
