HENRICO
All that time and I thought the bastard was just a naughty cretin.
"What the fuck! I slam my fist against the steering wheel, irritated enough to break the little shit's face in one blow.
"You need to calm down, man. " Guilhermino grumbles next to me, holding tight to his seat.
I don't have time to calm down, in fact I want to save all my anger for when I meet him.
"The
AMELIAMy nephew sleeps peacefully in his car seat in the back seat, oblivious to his father's attitudes, and that makes me more protective. Covered in Courageous and determined not to make things easy, I try to distract Peter to discover our destination. He doesn't make it easy and gives me evasive answers."Aurora didn't faint, did she?" I ask Peter the question, but I observe my sister's pale and sleeping face.He looks at me in the rearview mirror and keeps silent, keeping the gun in one of his hands as he drives at speed.
HENRICO"I must have gone mad for believing you!" I growl, trying my best not to jump on top of the man and take the wheel."You're stealing my concentration, boy. Keep your mouth shut." Augusto snarls beside me, driving like a fucking turtle.I reach the end of my patience and slam my fist against the car radio, silencing the melodious music that started playing as soon as I entered the vehicle." Look, I'm not going to deny it and say that I didn't imagine ways to kill you, but I never thought I'd be able to kill myself
AMELIAI share my attention between my sister, my nephew, and the door of the room where Peter had just locked us up. Thank God, he didn't lock himself in with us. Arthur grumbles, making typical bee noises. Hedrinks and gets my full attention on him, while Aurora says incoherent words and struggles to keep her eyes open."We'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine." I try to convince myself.I put
AMELIA"And what did you intend to do?" Keep me high for the rest of my life?" She starts screaming from the second sentence, starting to cry. Peter watches the woman carefully, studying her behavior as if it's the first time he's laid eyes on her."Not." Is all he says, looking down at our still joined hands." I loved you." She says in a whisper so low I'm not sure if he can hear."
HENRICOWhen I got to that room and saw her in his arms, terrified of having a gun in her face, I didn't know what to do for a while. My mind was lost, filled with fear. So, when finally said something and the bastard saw us, his reaction was faster than mine and his finger slid on the trigger before mine.Damn it. I bluster, kneeling beside Augusto on the ground, looking for the bullet shell. That was too close."Dad!" Someone screams, but I don't look to check which of the two women it is.
AMELIAMaking sure Henrico's car is right behind Peter's is the only thing that keeps me sane at the moment."The police are here." My voice comes out more like a thought. Disconnected than a warning. He looks in the rearview mirror, squinting as if the act will make him see better and then, as if it were possible, accelerates the car even more, causing our bodies to be thrown backwards due to the high speed."You're going to kill us!" I scream, having to grab the ceiling strap for safety.
AMELIAI open my lips and say yes, she can come in, but I can't. I seem to have unlearned how to speak and all I can do is make noises. Embarrassing noises. The doctors explained to me that this is due to my situation, it's been almost two days since I woke up from the coma and I still need to practice my speech, relearn how to communicate. So all I do is nod my head and hope Aurora gets the hint.My stepsister walks in, closing the door behind her as she is completely through the door and looking at me with a certain politeness, not lingering long in her assessment. She takes two steps towards me, and I eye her curiously, not sure what to expect from her visit. Okay, I remember
AMELIA"Amelia, you need to rest.""I'm fine, I have something to tell you." I say, not getting any less convincing from my shaky voice. However, I need to mention that we have a cousin living in another country. A secret that was kept from our father for years. Another." She's not, the doctor recommended rest. " I hug her, using a little strength to pull her to me."Remember the time I
