Antony had spent that night on the streets. The first place the police would look for him would be his old house, but he needed to go back there if he wanted to stay out of prison. Only after a few hours, standing in front of the house, hidden behind a wall, did he muster the courage to move forward?

The street was deserted; it was the early hours of the morning, and there were still a few hours left until daylight. He advanced quickly, taking the key out of his pocket and opening the door. When he turned on the light, a cry of terror was heard. Andreas jumped off the couch, wide-eyed, feeling his heart beating so frantically in his chest that it seemed like he would die right there. Without saying a word, Antony ran towards him, glaring at him.

"It's me, Andreas," he said, turning his neck towards the window, but the street remained deserted.

He barely noticed his half-brother standing in front of him, still looking scared, and walking towards him, hugged him unexpectedly.

    Matteo arrived at the firm late that day. Now that he was one, the partners didn’t worry about schedules, and he wasn’t in the mood for work as he should have been. He stepped out of the elevator absent-mindedly, not noticing Valeria approaching. When he looked up, a thousand-degree warmth surged through his body, startling him.Valeria thought his behavior was strange, but didn’t say anything about it. She frowned when she saw the disapproval in Matteo’s eyes, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.“Andreas is furious about your tardiness,” she warned, but Matteo snorted, rolling his eyes in dissatisfaction.“I own half of this company,” he reminded her of reality, “so I’ll be there whenever I want.”“That’s not good for business,” her words made him change his behavior. Now Matteo had a furious expression on his face, “which makes me think that owning the company is more your vanity than a desire to really help.”Matteo approached her, intimidating her.“You should be very

    Antony could no longer bear the loneliness of living in that small, empty house, far from his friends and family. He remained cut off from the world and didn’t know how much longer he could endure it.The news of Roberta’s murder had shattered his world. He constantly blamed himself for the decision to seek her out and involve her. He remembered her face every day, how important she had been in his life, how much he had loved her. Now, besides facing accusations of attempting to kill Giovana, Antony also faced accusations of murdering Roberta.He would leave the house every morning to walk. There were whispers in the neighborhood about his arrival, although Antony tried to keep his identity secret. The way he acted, always covering his face, quickly made the neighbors suspicious of him. He couldn’t stay there for long; he was already thinking of an escape plan when, one morning, he received an unexpected visitor.Andreas knocked on his door early in the morning. Antony was startled, b

    It was dark outside. Giovana was standing in front of the house window, watching the moths fly in the yard, while a chilly wind indicated that a storm was approaching. Hours earlier, Xavier had called, informing her that Antony had rejected the divorce request. At least she knew he was safe and well somewhere out there. Even that didn’t comfort her shattered heart.She heard Tania's and Maria’s voices coming from the kitchen. The women had become great friends, which reassured Giovana. Tania had left her entire life behind to be with her, and although it seemed unfair, the woman was smiling to serve her former boss.She lowered her head for a moment and looked at her belly, which was already large. A smile appeared on her lips, while a tear rolled down her cheek. The last time she had been to the doctor, she had found out she was twenty-five weeks pregnant and that she was carrying a boy. She wondered what Antony’s reaction would be when he found out, as the rain began to fall. She he

    The raindrops falling on the roof were the only sound heard in the house for long seconds. It was as if no one believed what they saw, Antony standing at the door, his clothes completely soaked, staring fixedly into Giovana’s eyes.“Sir, Antony,” Tania shed tears at seeing him and was the first to break the silence. But after that, she couldn’t say anything more.Antony took a step forward, but Giovana didn’t back down. For him, only she existed; nothing else around mattered. It seemed as though Giovana was stuck to the ground, completely motionless, unable to believe what she saw. Another step, and he was just a few centimeters from her, his face too close. Giovana could feel his breath touching her face while his wet clothes soaked the floor with constant drops that didn’t stop falling.“Hi,” Antony whispered when he lowered his gaze directly to Giovana’s belly. Her belly revealed that the unborn child was large. His eyes filled with emotion. He raised his gaze a little more and loo

    Antony thought he had misheard because of the thunder that drowned out Giovana’s voice. Then he looked at her, confused, like someone who couldn’t believe what he had just heard.“I love you, Antony,” Giovana repeated the words, this time clear, as she widened her smile at him, “and I’m giving up on the divorce.”Antony furrowed his brow at that confession. He gazed at his wife with admiration. How had he not noticed before how beautiful and full of qualities she was? How had he not been able to love her before?With his body relatively close to hers, Antony couldn’t utter a word. Her long, wavy hair, her soft skin, the sweet scent emanating from her body, the sparkle in her eyes. Giovana looked like a fairy-tale princess, irresistible. He was ready to kiss her when he felt a kick in his stomach.“What was that?” he looked down at Giovana’s belly.“Your son is welcoming you.”Antony could hardly believe that the kick had come from Giovana’s belly. He ran his hand over her belly, his e

    Antony already had everything in mind. He would make the most of that day by his wife’s side, and when the day was ending, he would leave too. He would choose a place to go to surrender so that no one would discover where Giovana was.Antony feared that Irma knew where Giovana was hiding and would go to the farm to finish what she had started.Lunch was served. The atmosphere in the house was festive, although everyone knew that in a few hours Antony would leave straight for the slaughterhouse. But Giovana, all that time, suffered a lot, and now all she wanted was a little comfort.“The mansion is for sale,” Antony set aside his plate and focused his attention on Giovana, “when it’s sold, half of the value will be deposited into your account.”“You shouldn’t”“You shouldn’t worry about that.” she showed lightness, although her heart was in pieces because the end was approaching. She wanted to show peace to Antony. “Andreas has taken care of everything, not allowing us to lack anything

    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,

    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

    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
