OPPOSITE TWINS The Origin of the Lady... CHAPTER 65
“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

The rain intensifies, as does the thunder and lightning that occasionally shake the entire environment where the two are. After hearing and seeing the younger sister's serene and calm state, the teacher calms down a little. Even though she is aware that her appearance is due to the fact that until then the truth of the seriousness of their situation is still hidden from her sister, who is still hopeful when it comes to the life they have in Romantics.“I don’t have time to go into details or prepare your heart for what I have to say. But in short: We need to run away again and... this time it won't be as simple as other times, unfortunately nothing is in our favor, not even the weather and the climate situation.”, he whispers into his sister's ear, still talking. with difficulty."What!? I didn't understand! Why!? No, no, it doesn't make sense...! You promised me and... you even confirmed to me a few days ago that this was over... here, right here!?” complains the sister, looking conf

"Calm. I didn't betray him...., if that's what you thought, or worse, what I implied.The thing is much more complex... and inexplicable and what's worse, unacceptable. I want you to promise that you will listen to me, trying not to interrupt me.”, she requests while taking a deep breath, as she is almost running out of breath and, she becomes even more nervous, every time she looks at the clock that is right next to her bed.“I’m listening…” she settles down once again, sitting across from her sister.“First of all, know that I am who you know I have always been.Do you remember the night of Rúbia and my civil wedding anniversary that ended with a ceremony?“Yes, and I ended up losing because of the lack of three nurses on duty who showed up late and without warning! How could I forget not being able to attend my only sister’s wedding.”, she laments.“This detail now makes sense, just like my husband having to take guests to their homes all night after our ceremony, everything falls

“Take this”, he gives his sister some medicine and then writes down the time on a pad of paper that he carries in one of his pockets. She usually uses it to write down her chores at the hospital. After a few minutes she asks a question:“What does Mrs. Rúbia intend to do at this point in the championship?Did she make clear to you the step-by-step plans involving you and your son?”“What she told me...” continues the pregnant woman “... was that I didn't need to worry about anything, because when I was nine months pregnant, I would be taken to the hospital to have the child through a Cesarean section.It would have to be at the local hospital, here, and when that happens, she will be there, simulating that she also arrived to have the child through a natural birth.At that moment my son would be transferred to her room and they would use the body of a dead child, which is preserved in formaldehyde to be registered as being my son who had already been born dead and, due to the complica

“I matured over the years... I realized that people, no matter how much they want to say they are equal, they are not and their strength is precisely for this reason.Our emotional constitution, our position in society, our point of view on certain situations... in short... all these and other factors added or subtracted give us the particularity that strengthens or weakens us.Look at me, in this position I find myself in, similar to the game, I am vulnerable.It doesn't matter the skills I acquired that have kept us alive to this day. Now I'm an easy target. Similar to a “queen” cornered by another “queen” and the “pieces” that are part of her kingdom.”, he exemplifies.“You are scaring me when you use the terms she uses, bringing the game into our reality!”, she finds it strange and appears fearful.“Turns out this is a game, sis! What I'm in, in check... I hate having to say this, but sincerity obliges me: All human beings are in a game... they always have been and, only now, thro

“I'm sorry, but all the nurses and doctors were forced not to report these events. We even signed a term, so I felt torn about telling you and reaching out to your friend, Ms. Rúbia, and since they had decided to follow up outside, I believed the information was irrelevant”, the sister apologizes once again.“No, I mentioned the reason... I just said that my husband had made a plan in a private hospital in the capital and that's why our son wouldn't be born here. This forced her to tell me the truth about everything... Changing plans that I only knew about at the time of birth or never knew about... For becoming another one of the victims...,” she explains.“You speak so naturally…” strange.“It's a game I've played before, when I faced the people who threatened us, I saw them as simple pieces that should be discarded to achieve the objective of survival. Life for me has always been a trophy for survival.”, he takes a deep breath and adds, “there have been moments in my life when I ha

“I always believed in you and... know that... even though I knew we didn't have a normal life, anywhere we lived after Dad died, I felt safe knowing that you were by my side, taking care of me and ... that's why my sleep... was always peaceful, after all, there was no way not to be... I was absolutely sure that you were awake, attentive and by my side.Today I feel flattered that my heroine compares me to herself...!As children we try to compare ourselves to our heroes and the feeling of our hero comparing us to himself is... something surreal!Yes, I want to be a “Sam” for my nephew, in reality I have always dreamed of being like you, but I have to tell you that I will never replace you, my sister... I do not wish to be your “mother”. son” even though it is an incalculable honor.I want and love the idea of being your sister and your child's aunt and not having to take those titles that only you are entitled to.Now I want you to promise me, this is my condition, that you will rea

The next day, Saturday night.As an excellent strategist and good instructor, things went exactly as Eleonora planned except for the conclusion.The storm was bigger than predicted and, in addition, it also started about an hour earlier than estimated by the weather service. That's why the two women didn't count, but the worst surprise was yet to come.“Okay, the effect will occur in an hour or so, considering that it has been three hours since I introduced it into you.Now I'm going to give you more of this and... I already have everything prepared.You can be sure that it was raining outside and the thunder was beyond normal...”,While she was still speaking, the lights went out and the entire town was left in complete darkness.This makes them both tense, but that's not all.A sound of loud footsteps becomes audible to the two frightened women. They also hear, soon after, a male voice, hoarse as if communicating with at least one other man who, in turn, has the most incomprehensibl

OPPOSITE TWINS The Origin of the Lady... CHAPTER 109
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'
OPPOSITE TWINS The Origin of the Lady... CHAPTER 101
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
