Episode 3

Natalia goes straight to Bryan's room. Now that they are married, she has finally managed to organize her things in the couple's closet. After taking a refreshing bath, she puts on her favorite pajamas and snuggles into the large bed next to her husband. The warmth of the sheets caresses her skin as she closes her eyes and, tired of the day's tedium, soon falls into a deep sleep next to Bryan.

The next day, Natalia woke up early as she usually did. She puts on another outfit and goes around the mansion to do her morning walk, which was routinely part of Natalia's life.

After walking for a few minutes, she sees a man of about her age.

"Good morning!" He says politely as he approaches her.

"Good morning!" She replied gently.

"So, you're the one who married my brother Bryan? Gosh, my mother could have introduced me sooner..."

The boy jokes with the words, smiling at Natalia.

"So, you're my brother-in-law? Mrs. Sueli told me she had two sons, but I haven't seen you around the mansion these days."

"I'm Gustavo Navarro, sorry sister-in-law for not attending the wedding, I had an unforeseen event abroad and could only come today."

Gustavo Navarro was one of the managers of the Navarro family company, the company of which Bryan was the president.

"Don't apologize. I understand. Now excuse me, I need to finish my walk."

Natalia left without looking back. Gustavo was admiring her remarkable beauty.

"What a beautiful woman. How could my mother do this to me? Why does she always prefer Bryan even though he's vegetative? It just makes me angrier..."

Gustavo stood in the same place, watching Natalia walk away. He felt a mixture of admiration and resentment towards her. After all, how could his mother choose Bryan over him to marry Natalia? He had always worked at the Navarro family company, but it seemed that his mother could only see his brother Bryan, and because of that, Gustavo was willing to show everyone that he was as capable as Bryan, if not more. He decided that he would do everything to get his mother's attention and prove his worth...

Gustavo enters the mansion while Natalia continues her walk.

An hour later, Natalia and Sueli were at the table for breakfast.

"Natalia, this is my youngest son Gustavo. He lives traveling on business and that's why he wasn't at the wedding yesterday."

Sueli says to her daughter-in-law as Gustavo approaches the table.

"We've already met, Mom. I even told my sister-in-law about it. She understood me."

Sueli smiled insecurely and then asked Natalia.

"Where did you meet Gustavo?" The mother-in-law's curiosity made Natalia blink her eyes quickly.

"This morning while I was walking, I met him in the mansion gardens."

Sueli is thoughtful for a moment, but putting her thoughts in order, she answers her daughter-in-law.

"Okay, my dear."

"Mom, will Natalia work at the company? As Bryan's wife, she will need to perform some function in the family business."

Gustavo knew that all members of the Navarro family worked at the company, and with Natalia, who was the president's wife, it would be no different.

Natalia listens to Gustavo's words and chokes on coffee.

"Sorry."

She, embarrassed, says lowering her head.

"Natalia, the Navarro family is very productive and hardworking. Actually, we don't need to work, we have people who can do that, but since my father founded this company, he taught us that the owner's hand should always be in his business. And I've always put my sons, my brothers and nephews to work in the company, and I want you to be able to work too."

Sueli had not yet talked about this, so Natalia was very surprised.

"Okay, mother-in-law. I like to work. But I don't know if I'll do the job right in such a successful company."

Sueli holds Natalia's hand comforting her.

"Don't worry. I myself will teach you. As Bryan's wife, you must learn everything about business and help me manage the family business."

While they talked, Gustavo watched everything in silence.

"Now let's take care of Bryan... Our baby needs to change."

Sueli and Natalia go up to the couple's room.

"Always thinking about her oldest son. My mother always puts Bryan first."

Gustavo murmurs swallowing some milk.

In the room, Sueli teaches Natalia how to care for Bryan. Now the responsibility of taking care of him was on Natalia.

"Have you never thought about hiring a nurse or nursing technician to take care of Bryan?"

"Yes, I hired one at the beginning when he got like this, but they didn't take good care of my son. That's why I took care of him myself until today..."

"I understand perfectly. Don't worry, I'll take good care of my husband."

Natalia expressed herself making Sueli happy.

"In the next few days, I'll take you to the company. How about working as a public relations manager? I think it would be a good role for you..."

Natalia raises her eyebrows respectively.

"Public relations manager? Mrs. Navarro, it would be better if I were a secretary or receptionist."

Sueli looks seriously at her daughter-in-law.

"No way, Natalia. You are the wife of the company's president, how could you be a simple secretary? I will put you as a public relations manager, but don't worry. I will hire a professional who will help you teach everything you need to know about this function."

Natalia admires Sueli's determination.

"Okay, ma'am. I will strive to learn quickly."

Sueli continued explaining to Natalia about Bryan's care.

A few days passed, Natalia was already more familiar with the Navarros.

It was Sueli's birthday. And every year she had a luxurious dinner for her family and close friends.

The mansion's living room was full of people, especially curious to know more about Natalia.

Natalia excuses herself after dinner and goes to the garden to breathe some fresh air.

"The night is beautiful. The stars shine brightly in the sky."

Natalia was admiring the night when Gustavo arrived silently and observed her carefully.

"Yes, sister-in-law, the night is beautiful."

He said startling Natalia.
