Giovanna hurried through the company’s corridors, not realizing that she didn’t know where she was going. She only stopped when she felt Matteo’s hands touch her, forcing her to halt. She was pale, her breathing heavy, and her body weak. He embraced her, slowly sitting her down on the bench in front of them.

“What’s happening to you?” He examined her almost colorless face, lifting it, but Giovanna didn’t look at him.

“I haven’t eaten since I got back from the hospital,” she replied weakly, her voice almost failing.

“You were at the hospital?” The revelation startled him and, felt guilty for not being so involved in her life that he didn’t know the details.

Giovanna slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. Giovanna believed that Matteo was the only one who truly cared about her. She could see it in his eyes. So she felt guilty for lying and involving him in a story that had only one foreseeable ending.

“I’m so sorry,” guilt slipped through her lips, “I should have explained what happe

    Xavier was concerned. He wasn't concerned about Nicolau's will or the supposed half-brother, but about the effect of Giovanna's new marriage on her life.“You never told me that this young man was showing interest in you,” he decided to break the tension that surely haunted her. “What are his true intentions?”But there was weight in Xavier’s words, and Giovanna felt it.“Why does it matter now?” she asked, a bit annoyed. “I’m pregnant with Antony’s child and about to marry him again. Even if Matteo were the love of my life, I could never be with him.”“Do you love him?” the question came with a hurried and concerned tone.Giovanna stared into Xavier’s eyes as if lost in the answer. When she finally spoke, the words came out slowly and with a sad tone.“I don’t love him,” she lowered her gaze to her hands, observing her whitened fingers. “Matteo is a good man; he even agreed to raise a child that isn’t his just to be with me. But I can’t accept that.”Xavier carefully analyzed her wor

    Antony glared at Giovanna with fury. There was a satisfied smile on her beautiful face, which Antony found insulting. He also smiled when he realized Andreas was watching for his reaction. He walked up to Giovanna, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her away.“Are you going to drag me like I’m some object every time you’re upset?”He let go of her when they reached an empty hallway of the building. Antony had a stony gaze and pondered what to do about it.“What do you intend with this, Giovanna?” The question seemed obvious. “Do you want to humiliate me in front of everyone with this ridiculous talk of engagement and formal proposal?”“Do you think you can marry me like you did the first time, Antony?” she asked when the smile disappeared from her beautiful face, and a shadow appeared on it. “If you want me to accept your proposal, you’ll have to do it my way. And remember, you have less than seventy-two hours.”“Do you want me to pretend to everyone that I’m in love with you?” An ir

    Antony entered Ricardo’s room, who was already eagerly awaiting his brief visit. He jumped out of his chair, almost losing his balance. He looked like an old man with wide-open eyes, eagerly waiting for Antony to confess all the recent events of the day.“I came to congratulate you,” he used irony, hoping to lighten the tension on Ricardo’s shoulders, “I’m going to marry Giovanna again.”He sighed heavily, as if it was difficult for him to say those words. He averted his gaze and got lost in his thoughts.However, Ricardo couldn’t understand how this had all happened.“How are you going to marry Giovanna?” he stammered, his voice struggling to come out. “What does Giovanna and this marriage have to do with the appearance of your new half-brother?”“Stepbrother,” he corrected, raising a finger to make it clear, “Nicolau left a second will, as if he knew that after his death, I would divorce Giovanna. If I don’t marry her within seventy-two hours, I’ll lose everything to that bastard ki

    Giovanna was scorned. She watched Matteo without responding, her head down, constantly touching her face, trying to control herself. When she finally tried to justify herself, approaching and opening her mouth to contest, an explosion occurred.“What are you going to tell me?” His widened eyes startled Giovanna, who instinctively moved away to protect herself. “That this marriage will be a lie or that in two years you will separate, finally, to be together?”She swallowed hard. She wished to tell him that yes, this marriage with Antony was a huge farce just to keep Nicolau’s inheritance in his hands, but she knew she couldn’t.“I’m so sorry, Matteo,” she said sincerely. “I had no intention of hurting you.”“So, you’re really going to marry him?” There was a lot of indignation in Matteo’s tone of voice.“Yes,” she replied, her voice almost faltering completely, “the wedding is in a day.”At that moment, Matteo knew that something very wrong was happening. There was no happiness on Giov

    Antony has always been known as an arrogant boss, distant from his employees. Everyone seemed to be afraid to approach him. However, it was certainly Giovanna’s friendliness that somehow made everyone relax to greet the newlyweds. When he realized that Giovanna and her exuberant friendliness dominated his mind, he shook his head and turned the corners of his mouth, making a gruff expression. Antony couldn't help but look at her and had to force a smile. He politely greeted all his employees, many of whom he didn't know existed. But there was one he would never forget. He leaned his face close to Giovanna and whispered in her ear. “Why didn’t Matteo come to greet us and wish us happiness?” Giovanna widened her eyes, shocked by that question and eager to be so close to Antony once again. “Why should I know?” she asserted with irritation. Antony’s face took on a peculiar expression. His seductive eyes fixed on hers almost didn’t let Giovanna breathe. He reached his hand towards hers,

    Irma held the phone in trembling hands as she read the latest news about Antony and his company. There was a picture of him with Giovanna, announcing that they would soon be getting married again.Anger surged through Irma, and she felt the urge to throw the device against the wall. Despite her grief over Gina's death, Giovanna happily celebrated another marriage with the city's most influential billionaire. Impatiently, Irma stood up and left home, with a clear destination in mind.She recalled her failed plans, all attempts to torment Giovanna’s mind, none of which were working. If Antony married Giovanna, she would ruin all her plans.Irma arrived in front of Antony’s house without knowing exactly how she would speak to him. The grumpy security guard looked at her without recognition. She caught his attention until he turned to speak with her.“I need to talk to Antony. It’s urgent,” Irma said, feigning a desperate expression.“And who are you?”“I am the mother of his bride,” she

    “Antony, you have been the only man in my life for the past three years, and also the only man I have loved intensely. Please, do not marry Giovanna.Roberta took a few breaths to calm her crying. She barely noticed anything else when she saw Antony and rushed towards him, pleading for another chance.At that moment, there was no trace of compassion on Antony’s handsome face. The only thing consuming him were the obstacles that appeared in his way, preventing him from marrying Giovanna once and for all.“I’m sorry, Roberta,” these words pierced Roberta’s heart to the core, and a crushing sensation hit her chest, “Giovanna is expecting my child, and I’ve discovered that I love her.”Who could believe that story? The wrinkle that formed on Roberta’s beautiful face revealed that she, too, did not believe that Antony loved his ex-wife. However, the lack of emotion in his eyes and the cold expression on his face suddenly made her doubt if he was really lying.“Antony, you loved me. Remembe

    The way Antony reacted to the wedding left Giovanna speechless. She had prepared herself for a dramatic situation, but it never crossed her mind that he could pretend so well. Before she could say anything, guests throwing rice over their heads quickly surrounded them. Giovanna avoided showing any happiness and observed Antony, who seemed to be enjoying the situation.At the end of the aisle, she spotted a figure behind the bars. It was far away, but Giovanna could see who it was. Matteo wore a hoodie, with the hood over his head, but she would recognize that look anywhere in the world. When he realized she had spotted him, he hurried away, disappearing shortly after. She felt a chill run through her entire body.“It’s okay, Giovanna.” Antony’s hand ran over her belly, and his touch startled her. She found it strange that he was concerned that something might be happening with the baby. She forced a smile, tears in her eyes.“It’s okay.” she swallowed hard, looking back at the place w

    Nicolau got discharged a few weeks later. When Antony saw Giovana holding their son for the first time, he felt so many things that he couldn’t decipher the feeling that pulsed the strongest in his heart.As Giovana approached with a genuine smile on her face, she asked him if he wanted to hold their son for the first time. Nicolau was so small that Antony was afraid of hurting him. He looked at the baby, who was sleeping peacefully in his mother’s arms, and with an affectionate look, he replied yes.Holding his son for the first time made Antony understand the true meaning of love. Ricardo himself, took without him noticing, a photo who imagined that photograph hanging on their wall.On the other side of the room, Tania was packing things for Giovana’s departure, her eyes filled with tears.“I think I haven’t forgotten anything,” she quickly scanned the room, looking for anything that might have been left behind, but there was nothing.Tania soon realized it was time to tell Giovana

    Antony got into the car next to Xavier and was driven to the company. When he found the memories of that place almost paralyzed him. He barely remembered the last time he had been there. He had aspired to own that empire even when Nicolau was alive. His eyes would sparkle at the thought of owning it all. Now, standing in front of everything he had achieved, none of it made sense anymore. In the end, the greatest wealth he had received was marrying Giovana.He entered the elevator alone. Xavier had left with the mission of buying the shares and returning them to Antony. And to think it was because of those shares that he married Giovana for the second time. Now his life revolved around her. A smile tugged at his lips as Antony came to this realization. At that moment, he found himself completely in love with his wife, despite his promise never to fall in love with another woman besides Roberta.When he stepped out of the elevator, the first face he saw was Valeria’s. The woman looked a

    Antony had a fixed idea in his head and thought about it every time he looked at Giovana. He had spent that night by her side, holding her hand while she slept. She was eager to see Nicolau, but the doctors recommended that she wait for the anesthesia to wear off before getting up. The next day, when Antony woke up, she was sitting up, which startled him and made him rush to help her.“What are you doing?” He looked at her, scared that she might do something reckless.“I want to see our son,” she said, already putting on her sandals, indicating that no one would stop her.Antony threw his head back, closing his eyes tightly and sighing in disagreement, but when he looked at her and saw a deep sadness for not having met their son yet, he relented.“All right,” he said, taking her hands and helping her to walk, “let’s go meet Nicolau, and on the way, we’ll talk about something very important.”“What do you want to talk about?” She looked at him, furrowing her brow with concern.“I need

    Antony stopped to think about what Andreas was saying. Things in his life were starting to calm down, and he needed to recognize that Andreas had made a considerable effort to help him. On the other hand, Andreas fell silent, embarrassed, as if he had made significant mistakes and was convinced that Antony would never forgive him. Only after a long period of silence, in an attempt to clear up the misunderstanding, did Andreas apologize.“I should have told you that I didn’t find Giovana when I arrived at the farm,” Andreas’ regretful tone was more than enough for Antony to understand that the boy was not at all happy with what had happened. “I promised you that I would take care of Giovana, and I didn’t want to fail again.”Antony laughed with disdain, as if he had heard a very tasteless joke.“Yes, you should have told me,” he replied calmly, looking away at the nursery in front of him, “but you need to stop always trying to please me. Why is my approval so important to you?”Andreas

    Antony stared at Xavier with an apprehensive look. The lawyer was terrified until the call was ended. When he finally hung up the phone, he looked at Antony with a lump in his throat.“What happened?” Antony sweated, anxious to hear good news from Giovana.It was all he could think of. It was about Giovana’s safety, as if nothing else mattered. Before Xavier could think of opening his lips to tell him what was happening, his cell phone rang again. He looked confused at the phone number, realizing it was Andreas.He answered the call, hearing the boy asking to speak to Antony on the other end of the line.Xavier left, leaving Antony apprehensive behind. It took him a long time to make that decision. Would it be more appropriate to inform Antony about his freedom first than to let Andreas take up his time?He came back with the phone in his hands and handed it to Antony. He saw the man’s face slowly transform, and minutes later, he felt drawn to the most important news of his existence.

    Irma slowly opened her eyes and heard voices coming from afar, as if in a dream. The trees seemed to be in constant motion, making her head spin faster. The same man she had seen in front of the farm was the one who came to her aid. Although dizzy and disoriented, Irma tried to get up and escape. Her efforts were in vain, as she was weak and injured. The man held her and called the police.When the police cars arrived, she mocked the officers. She laughed uncontrollably.“Do you not know that I am Giovana’s mother?” Her disoriented look frightened some. “I came to visit her. Don’t I have that right?”“She ran away when I called her,” the man accused. “She ran through the woods and fell, hitting her head. Forgive me, but Mr. Andreas asked me to watch over the farm and forbid this woman from approaching.”The police seemed confused by the situation. One of them approached Irma, touching her arm, which greatly irritated her.“You need to come with us.”The order did not sit well with her

    Giovana could no longer stand the car shaking all the time. She closed her eyes tightly and believed that the pain in her abdomen was because of the long hours of travel. Tania remained by her side, never letting go of Giovana’s hand for a moment, and although she told the maid that she was okay, Tania could see from Giovana’s face how much she was suffering from the long delay.“We need to stop,” Tania said, noticing Giovana’s face changing color. “Giovana won’t be able to endure this much longer.”“We can’t stop now, Tania, it’s only a few more hours,” Maria declared.“You’ve been saying that for two days now,” she snapped, though she had no reason to.“Please, Tania, don’t argue with Maria because of me. I’ve already said that I’m fine.”Giovana held back from grimacing as the car went over a pothole, throwing her body forward. The pain was increasing as the minutes passed. Giovana remembered the moment when Antony was taken by the police and his words, begging Giovana to leave the

    Antony was in a room, being watched by police officers. In front of him, Xavier kept talking only about subjects that wouldn’t raise any suspicion. The lawyer already knew about the evidence against Irma and was preparing to put his plan into action.“Ask Andreas to go to Giovana,” he said, looking at the mirrored wall, imagining the figure of the delegate looking at him behind the glass. “Keep her safe.”“Andreas has already gone to the farm,” he said, wiping the sweat from his face. “I’ll get him out of jail today, Antony. I propose we put an end to this injustice once and for all.”Xavier was in a hurry, although Antony insisted on knowing who had been responsible for discovering his location. Xavier had no idea who it had been. He left the interrogation room, demanding to speak to the delegate.The man was arrogant, thinking he deserved a prize for arresting a fugitive from the police, which Xavier certainly disagreed with. He placed the paid bail on his desk, which made the man j

    Someone called Irma that morning and informed her that Antony had been found. The voice on the other end of the line asked her to turn on the TV as Giovana’s location would be revealed.She paced anxiously around the house, waiting for the moment to put her plan into action. Her soul would only find peace once Giovana was dead. When she entered the living room, the TV was broadcasting Antony’s arrest live. She stopped and looked at the small screen, seeing Giovana’s face. Her eyes sparkled with emotion. She had finally found her daughter Gina’s killer.A sudden sense of unease surged in her heart as she hurried to pack her bags and leave. She saw Gina pass by the hallway, sending a shiver down her spine. Gina's constant visions and appearances tormented Irma. Surely her mind’s delusions, but she believed Gina’s spirit would only find peace when Giovana finally paid with her life for the crime she had committed.“I will draw her blood and bring it to you,” she said to the empty walls,
