"Stop talking to her like this, Madeleine," I spoke harshly, keeping my hand against my sister's shoulder. "Becca is not to blame for you frustrations.”Madeleine laughed loudly, looking so upset that I would say she could very well have drunk for hours before being arrested. Or she was so exhausted last night in jail, that she didn't even know what her true personality was anymore. Becca, however, did not seem shaken by Maddie's harsh and cold words. Deep down, she understood that stress was dominating my sister, and that under normal conditions, she would never want that.Not only because Becca was who she was, but because she understood what had happened, and would not wish it for any other woman. Anyway, the simple fact that she said that made the mood in that small room unpalatable. Even the policeman at the door exalted himself, looking from Maddie at Becca, not knowing if he would need to call reinforcements or expel us from the place."I'm upset, Fred," said Madeleine, raising

"I already said I didn't know Rebecca Smith," said Elide, looking exhausted, but still with that air of superiority when talking to one of the police officers in front of her. She was wearing a totally white outfit, which highlighted her blonde hair stuck in a bun. But what really caught the eye was his skin tone. We were informed that Elide had been found on an island in Miami, while all the chaos was happening in Seattle. She was perfectly tanned. "We never met before the charity party that the Hanson family had given. The whole high society was invited, and it was only there that I learned that the two had resumed the relationship. As far as I was aware of the situation, in Fred's own words, he had ruined everything and didn't know how to fix it.”"And what was your orientation in the face of Mr. Hanson's outburst? "Asked the lower police officer, sitting to the left of Elide.The cynical woman shrugged, as if the subject didn't even matter to her. In fact, it seemed that Elide was

"Now, now" Elide sneed, opening a viper's smile, in that way that only she knew how to make anyone's bones freeze. "I was waiting for your visit, but not here in an interrogation room, Fred.”I pulled a chair and put it in front of it, away from the table. Elide didn't disguise it at all by watching me from head to toe. Her little smile said a lot about her approving what she was seeing. But I knew I judged myself internally by the loss of weight and muscles. She knew very well what had allowed to happen to me and Rebecca in that accident, even so, she made no point of showing remorse or guilt."It wasn't my intention to visit you," I disappeared without softness. "But since you don't want to cooperate with the police, I thought it would be necessary to intervene.”Elide giggled."Oh, Fred, I've already said everything I could have said. I can't stand talking and talking anymore. I would much rather be lying on my beach chair, watching the sun and the waves.”"And why did you let your

The months seemed to pass absurdly quickly. In the blink of an eye, two of them passed by. Two months in which Elide remained trapped and saying that he would only recognize his accomplice if he heard his voice. The men who tortured me kept silent. They did not have lawyers, unlike Elide, who hired only the best of the entire state. Fred was also committed to listening to what Elide had to say, so he continually visited her on the days when the police tried to interrogate her.Meanwhile, my health improved, at least, on the one hand. Around two weeks before, I started to feel tired and with a ringing in my ear that didn't pass at all. I visited medical specialists, and everyone said the same thing: that it was probably something emotional, that there were no infections and no reasons for me to get so upset with that strange sound inside a single ear. The point is that I barely slept at night, and in the morning, I woke up very early to train with Elijah and Moura.Moura was a former s

August Spencil was the dumbest man I've ever had the displeasure of meeting on the face of the earth.The worst part was knowing that he had some shares of my company and claimed to be a partner, but if everything depended on him, I would be bankrupt before sunset. I didn't know how Maddie had dealt with him in recent months, but I was already planning to buy a new car for her in thanks, because putting up with August was not an easy job for anyone. The man had such big shitty ideas that he couldn't take it seriously."It's just that you're not listening to me, Fred," said August, for what seemed to be the thousandth time. And I wished I wasn't in that car with him, I wished I wasn't going on a two-hour trip with him, and that I didn't have the blessed idea of giving a ride to that asshole. But no matter how big my will was, I couldn't make time come back. "I've already said that Canadians are trying to pass us back. They are almost infiltrating people in our company, just to know wha

"What is your real doubt? " Pauline asked, separating my medicines by schedules inside plastic coconuts."Well, I have several, especially about this virus," I explained after a long sigh. "I don't feel well, I had to end the self-defense class earlier today. I just wanted to lie down and be silent for as long as possible, but someone is always coming in to know how I am and if I'm still alive. I don't want to do anything in my life today. I think this is a very serious symptom.”Pauline laughed, moving away from the nightstand where she had put the medicines of the day. She only offered me a glass of water and baking soda, because I had complained about a strange feeling in the mouth of her stomach. It wasn't nausea or heartburn, but something so weird that I just wanted to lie down and complain all day.Moura didn't like that I had said I couldn't stand the stride of a full class, and left grumbling with Elijah who didn't know why he put her in situations of training people who didn

"But how can I have my period normally? "I asked in despair, my eyes could barely see the test lines in Pauline's hand. I leaned even more against the door, ending up sitting on the floor. Suddenly, my stomach seemed not to know what its function was, and I felt extremely nauseous and with blurred views. “Pauline, that can't be true. Fred and I are barely having sex... I mean, we are, but not as often as before. In addition, pain remedies and antibiotics are too strong for a pregnancy to happen. The doctors told me about it in the hospital. In fact, they made it very clear that due to the lack of menstruation, I wouldn't ovulate. That's why Fred and I rely so much on not using any condoms, since I couldn't use the pill either. This is simply impossible to happen.”"But you told me that your period is in a much smaller flow and on irregular days," said Pauline, tilting her head lightly. I hadn't even noticed that she was sitting next to me, staring at the test as if he were the child h

"Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on here? "I besieged no one in particular, and I didn't even have an answer, because everyone was giving priority to surround me and try to take me safely to the car. Unfortunately, many of my security guards were being hit at that act. Everything to keep me alive, because the intention of the men who opened fire on us was simply to kill me. "How could this be happening?”"Stay behind me, boss," Tyler asked, shooting mercilessly at men who didn't even bother to wear masks, since they were really planning to end my life that day. "We were betrayed in some way.”Betrayed because only my team knew where I was going or coming throughout my day, and that team was carefully chosen to maintain the secrecy of my routine. And if those people were linked to my number one enemy, or to the gangs that wanted my blood every day, they were there, then that meant that someone from inside had passed on the news. In the midst of chaos, I felt my cell phone vi
