OPPOSITE TWINS The Origin of the Lady... CHAPTER 58
A week later.“Good evening, ma'am...”“Good evening... Cheval! How was your trip?" he asks calmly.“Well, madam, thank you for asking…”“He was lucky enough to feel the European summer. After my parents died, I even started to forget what it was like to be there. We used to escape the cold here, and seek warmth there, and vice versa... My mother liked the snow, but I always hated it...And my father... as always... he did as much as the other...“But let’s get to the point…” she looks at him.“Then it’s all right… the man will be here a week early, just in case.”“Excellent, excellent! “Good players think about three or four moves at the same time and, ahead, while they are only making one....”“Just so you know: We all went over everything thoroughly and we will still go over it until the big night.” he says, with the firmness of a rock.“I can’t wait for this city to become synonymous with strategy and not just silly romanticism, as it has been throughout its existence. For me, rom

Days after the big event in the city and the special and select event inside the mansion.“I am immensely grateful for the incredible and intimate nights I had with my husband. I have no words to describe the gratitude. I have never felt so special in my life and my husband often wondered if it was real or if it was just a dream.”, says the teacher.“I’m glad you liked it!You are unique to our family. It’s not every day and sometimes not in our entire lives that we find deserving people like we found you and your husband.”, reveals Rúbia.“I wanted to apologize for anything that may have happened during the night and I don't remember much of it after a while.I must have left you in a real tight skirt, considering that only afterwards did I know that I had won and..., without my participation...”, confused and adds, “I only remember waking up in the morning. hotel room”, he takes a deep breath.“As for the result of the game, even if I wanted to, I couldn't claim that I won without y

He mentions his private secretary during a sip of hot chocolate, “your schedule is full Bruce and, not to mention that there are about six meetings that are about to be on the agenda...” and he adds, “who would have thought that one day I would I would be telling you this and seeing you like this in a suit and tie. "That doesn't change the fact that I hate all this travel... and the meetings! I'll be honest with you, Mike... The only thing that gives me pause is the fact that now my wife Finally, she had a successful pregnancy!” She is happy and takes the leather gloves off her hands for a moment.A miracle seemed to be being experienced by him and his wife, considering that a pregnancy had never reached this far in terms of months. “Friend, everyone comments that... taking into account the rigor of the treatment and all the apparatus, even a dry tree trunk... would give birth to a healthy child.” he laughs and takes another sip before get

Later, after waking upReflecting Bruce says,“That inviting sound never left my mind...”“Are you referring to the ambient sound of the bar... or the torrential rain that falls outside?” asks the waiter who serves you at the table.“Both... bring me pleasant sensations...However, now I can't hear the rain as much as when I was in the room, so I was referring to the music...”, he responds slowly, as if he were already in a trance.“About the music, I admit that it also keeps playing in my mind..., but I spend weekend nights always listening to it while I work....” jokes the bar employee.“The human being, Thiago, takes time to get used to pain, however it is very different when it comes to what gives pleasure... and if something that relates appears or reminds you of something good appears... it ends up activating desire...” philosophizes about feelings and memories.“You're right..., our heads put the pieces together and recreate the emotion...” shows Thiago, the waiter, who underst

After recovering from the shock, the boss decides to go down first, following the route that the car took, while his team goes down through another easily accessible, safer, but longer location.“Should we call an ambulance sir!?” asks one of the three, shouting.“No, not now!”, the boss responds, confidently and in an orderly tone.As soon as the men arrive at the car, they notice that, strangely, Bruce is not inside it.“Sir... we arrived at the car and only found the woman's body and... lifeless...” he informs via radio due to the distance.There is no doubt that the woman is dead, trapped in the hardware and in the belt. The completely disfigured face wrapped in long, blood-soaked hair.About ten minutes after radioing the chief, the team simply looks around and waits for Torres to arrive at the wreckage.“What’s taking him so long?” asks the most impatient.When they lower the lights of their own lanterns and fix their vision looking at the bank, at the location of the light from

It's already past 10pm...The torrential rain takes a break. It's as if the clouds needed time to position themselves until they returned with full steam. The night is full moon and a trace of its light tries hard to lighten the ground, reflecting a gray glow in the huge pools of water. There is a total calm interrupted only by the sound of the heavy stamping of the galoshes of one of the farm's security guards, who walks with firm steps towards the teacher's house.“Bring her... even by force and in your arms!”, ordered the boss to the big black man, before he left. The distance is relatively short. And it became much smaller due to his haste and his naturally wide steps, his strong and long legs.After completing the order to pick up the pregnant woman, who in this case was brought without reluctance, Rúbia dismisses the requested employee, “thank you Grandão, now you can return to your post...”“Eleonora, forgive me for having to take you out of the comfort of your home at this tim

At that moment the weather changes more than the climate outside the mansion, where thunder and lightning flash, shaking and illuminating the environment they are in.The rich and powerful woman, ironically, cannot find the right words to express herself and begins to show tension.“I'm sorry... I confess that I don't know where to start... I'm feeling that, throughout our lives, we don't just play with actions, but also with words, don't we?” she tries to reduce the tension with another analogy and giving a slight, weak smile.In some moments she looks at her master and sees herself as a pregnant mother who has also been carrying with her a child who, even before he was born, made her love him by simply feeling the life within her in small movements that seemed like hers, but she knew they were involuntary so they belonged to a new being.Inside the strategist there were still remnants of the old and insecure Rúbia and this forced the lady to even play against herself.“Certainly...

“Shall we put an end to this impasse, friend?”, suggests Rúbia in light of the cascade of information about who Eleonora is. “Yes, it’s your turn…”, he uses the language that pleases the Lady most.“Anyway... I just want you to know that in addition to this fortune I'm offering you, I also give you anonymity, or better yet, I guarantee that the crimes you committed will not be made public, which includes your stupid husband, just for the record. And the fact that I created several false identities until I got here and played a trustworthy teacher to educate children and teenagers.”, she expresses haughtily.“Continue, please…”, worried and anxious, but trying to remain calm in the face of the fact that she was pregnant.“Do you feel “checked”? It may not be a “checkmate”, depending on you, from now on... it will depend exclusively on you “Eleonora”.” Rúbia creates even more suspense, but the objective is for the teacher to reflect well before she gives an answer afte

As in a flashback, the old detective can review some words of his corrupt colleagues, where one of them said:“Santiago..., everything in life has a value..., it has a cost or a motivation. Tell me how much a fair... is worth? Some compliments like: congratulations on having done your duty well...!?But if we are paid for this and... if we are ready to receive payment for it, what value does praise have after a duty done? When you do what must be done, it is nothing more than a duty that we are morally obliged to...!”In parallel to this, investigator Santiago found himself receiving, not surgery for his wife, but what he received from a doctor and, from the health system that his taxes paid for, was a compliment.But even though at that moment the price paid for integrity was irrelevant to covering the old detective's real need. He remains intact until now, aiming to receive the agreed amount from the client who hired him, making it worth the effort for the service provided which, de

Now, since taking on this first case as a private investigator, he has enough to pay three professionals who come back every 8 hours to take care of his wife's needs at the most expensive hospital in the state.He passes straight through the double bedroom, which is more reminiscent of a hospital, and goes straight to the second bedroom where there is barely enough space for a wardrobe and, upon opening the doors, he looks for a specific set of clothes.He takes out a well-tailored black suit that he had only worn a few times, only on special occasions, and places it under the bed, then takes off the informal clothes he often wears and goes into the tiny bathroom to take a shower.When you change, you look like another man. Add a nice red tie and a pair of shiny shoes.One night he had had a nightmare where he performed the same ritual as now, but to go to his wife's funeral.He looks at one of the walls in the room and sees the last photo he took with her.The smile that became not o

“I'm sorry..., but the good news is that everything can be fixed, everything can be fixed..., even if it's just one way...If there is any unforeseen event, we will talk to you by phone. From today onwards, we won't see each other in public... I don't want you to suffer anything because of my recklessness in talking to that model and her ex-fiancé’s lawyer. The stupid thing was done by me.”, the old detective still laments.“I clearly understand, boss!”, she shows that she is willing to be guided by the old man, even though she knows that she still has a broader vision of everything that needs to be done and the necessary care.“Know that I will make an effort to overcome this situation that ended up exposing us to danger.... I still don't know how, but I have to find a way around it...Maybe releasing us from the case to the Police Department... anyway, I'll think about it.”, he says, showing concern.“I'll also think about something and, if I come up with an idea, I'll let you know,

“I got the message, honey. You can rest assured about me!I admit that it's good to hear this to be aware...Just a moment and I’ll give you the address and opening hours of the clinic”, he promises, as he opens his leather jacket and takes out his notepad.“Boss, if I finish it soon, I can go to the production company.It’s no problem for me... I could even pretend to be a fan or someone from the press, who knows...”, she suggests when offering.“It could be, but in cases like this, in my experience, the places we go to initially can take us to others successively, and if more and more is contributed to our line of investigation the best thing to do is to follow the flow or like me and my colleague called it: “the path of stones”.I didn't mention this to our contractor, but based on good investigative experiences, that's how it always worked in the cases in which Garcia and I got very far into the evidence. When we start an investigation, it guides us...What we need is similar to a

The next dayIn the same meeting place.During the days in which the two found out about the case they were supposed to investigate and were also able to meet in person, it was the time in which the suspect was on a series of recordings in different parts of the world in one of his own productions. Where he was also working as a director.Now, according to the actor's schedule, he is back in the country.The moment has come when the pair of investigators will have access to both the suspect and everyone professionally linked to him. Where, for the most part, I was also accompanying him on trips.One of the factors that led the client to believe that the third crime would happen on the same day as the others within a year was the detail of the suspect's agenda to bring him back to the same country where the last two occurred.“Now let’s start and the most challenging part of our work...?” asks investigator Rebecca or old detective."That's right! The list starts with one of the suspect

“But I see that even so, you appear to have overcome this, let’s say, deficiency in structuring.”, believes the old man.“Thank you, boss, but what you see now was the basis of a lot of therapy and medication..., which I still depend on.”, she confesses.“I'm very sorry, unfortunately I don't have much to say about this because I had a family who provided what I certainly needed...”, he reveals.“But it's okay... I'm surviving...!Thank you for listening to me, it made me feel better...”, she thanks.The old man's humble and sincere manner has always worked well in providing comfort to whoever he chooses to listen to.“My mouth doesn't always come out with the right words... and at the right time... on the other hand, my ears don't usually disappoint me...”, he acknowledges.“I understand..., but we ended up losing focus, boss. My story is another story. Let's focus on what brought us together. That's what interests us at the moment. After we help put this killer in jail, it will defi

“I don't know if it's any consolation, boss, but I was also in the corporation and at the time it also seemed like another system, or rather, it was another system.Now I'm also trying to understand... and adapt without having to take risks.In short: we don't know exactly who we are dealing with, but from the photos of the crimes I saw, even though there was an explicit degree of cruelty, which if it were made public would leave many people outraged.There is clear evidence that these crimes are being treated with total disregard by the bodies responsible for investigating them.We are not fools. Everything shows that whoever is behind all this has the power to intimidate, bribe and even silence people...”, she says, showing complete indignation.“What you are telling me makes sense and, given the fact that we, police officers, took an oath to commit ourselves to defending law and order...We must morally seek justice or justice to be done.I see that it seems that I have focused a l

“Now it makes sense that you were late. Disappeared in the blink of an eye, appeared only after the model left...”, understands the old man.Knowing that he was deceived by her was a very bad feeling for the old detective, as it went back to some episodes during his police career in which several colleagues deceived, manipulated and even accused him of treason.“I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... I even wanted to remind you about the importance of being discreet in accordance with what I had already studied and because it was one of the details highlighted by your client and, thus, justifying my absence.But I want to take this opportunity to say that there was still another factor that contributed to my sudden disappearance, which was when I noticed an agent, from the police department you were about to go to... coming towards us...”, she tries to complement and thus justifying even more abandonment to the boss. She made it clear that everything had gotten out of control.Boss, I hope I'

The two remain silent for a few moments. She worries more and more about her boss who proves to be a sprinter in a competition who already feels defeated, even before taking the first steps. Still behind the starting line.“Think about your wife who, despite being in the hands of professionals, sustained her life. This is only possible thanks to her determination to accept this case..., boss...”, she recalls.Listen This is nothing new for the old retiree.Before the assistant presented this scenario and the right thing to do, his conscience had already convinced him to do so after consulting his old heart.“But speaking of a valid motivation, which justifies commitment to a complicated and risky case like this Rebecca, tell me what motivates you to continue even though you seem to be, and in reality, are, much more aware of the complexity of the case than I am. ...?” asks the experienced investigator.“I asked myself that question too, boss.And I would have been left without a convi
