Helena was anxious, her eyes scanning the crowd emerging from the arrival gate. Finally, after years, she was going to reunite with her brother, Marcelo, and their mother, Regina.Isabel, the eldest, looked at her mother with a curious gleam in her eyes. “Mom, what is Grandma Regina like? Dad said she's difficult to handle.”Antônio, the middle child, grimaced. “He said she's like a snake.”Emanoel, the youngest, laughed and agreed, “A snake, exactly.”Helena bent down to their level, her expression gentle and calm. “You know, kids, we can't judge a person without getting to know them. Let's give Grandma Regina a chance.”As she spoke, she spotted the arrivals, and her eyes met Marcelo's, her brother, running towards her with a radiant smile. He was eager to hug her, expressing how much he missed her.“Missed you, sis!” Marcelo said, his eyes shining with j

CHAPTER 94

The kitchen was filled with the enticing aroma of lunch that Helena was preparing while Regina and Marcelo remained in the living room with their children, Isabel, Antônio, and Emanoel. Regina fanned herself with a handkerchief, even with the air conditioning on at the lowest possible temperature. Marcelo, beside her, tried to calm her down.“Cut it out, Mom. You're going to freeze everyone with the air conditioning on full blast,” Marcelo said, attempting to defuse the situation.Regina, with an uncomfortable expression, retorted, “It's impossible; I feel like I'm on fire. Helena could have chosen any place to settle down, and she picks this end of the world.”Marcelo, trying to reassure her, said, “Mom, please, stop it. We're fine, and Helena is treating us very well.”Isabel, the eldest, intervened with her precocious wisdom. “You're wrong, Grandma. The end of the world is Cape Horn in Chile.”Regina, looking at her granddaughter with disdain, replied, “And since when do you, a chi

They rushed inside, as usual, eager to report everything they had learned, but were interrupted by Regina, who scolded them for disrupting the soap opera she was watching.“How dare you come in shouting while I'm watching my soap opera?” Regina complained, annoyed.Isabel, sensing the situation, stepped back and apologized, “Sorry, Grandma.”Regina's dissatisfaction seemed endless. She stood up and raised her hand to strike the girl. The gesture shocked everyone in the room, especially Helena, who entered at that very moment.“Stop!” Helena shouted, interrupting her mother's a

She took a deep breath, feeling the tension of the afternoon still lingering, but seeing her children playing in the garden brought a sense of calm.Isabel, Antônio, and Emanoel ran across the lawn, immersed in their games, oblivious to the challenges the adult world could bring. Helena approached slowly, admiring them. As she joined them, she crouched down to their level.“Do you know how special you are?” Helena began, looking into her children's eyes.The curious gazes of the children fixed on their mother, eager for the conversation. Helena continued with a gentle yet firm voice, “I want you to promise me something. Promise me that you will never let anyone treat you as if you are worth less than you truly are.”Surprised by their mother's request, the children nodded in unison. “We promise, Mom,” Isabel replied, while Antônio and Em

The police meticulously examined every corner of the property, searching for clues about the sudden death of the family patriarch.Meanwhile, Helena tried to keep calm in the room with the children. Isabel, Antônio, and Emanoel were eager for answers. Isabel, the eldest, innocently asked, “What happened to Grandpa Nilton, Mom?”Helena, careful in choosing her words, replied, “Grandpa Nilton fell and got hurt, my love.”Antônio, the family observer, noticed more than Helena intended to reveal. “But he has a wound on his head, Mom.”Helena, maintaining composure, insisted on the explanation. “It's from the fall, my son. Sometimes, when someone falls, they can get seriously hurt.”Isabel wasn't convinced. “Doesn't look like a fall.”Helena tried to reassure the children. “It's from the fall, dears. Sometimes, these things can seem scary, but Grandpa Nilton is in

CHAPTER 98

The room in the house in Cuiabá was filled with tension, with the gazes of Helena and Bruno revealing the gravity of the unfolding conversation. Helena took the initiative, suggesting that they needed to decide what to do with the farm. Her mother's suggestion to sell the property lingered in the air as a sensible option.“Bruno, we need to seriously consider the idea of selling the farm. It's getting increasingly dangerous, especially with Graciliano on the loose there,” Helena argued, seeking a prudent solution to the situation.Bruno's response was firm and uncompromising. “I'm not selling the farm.”Perplexed by her husband's inflexibility, Helena calmly asked, “So, what do you intend to do?”Bruno's response carried determination. “I'll run the farm on my own.”Helena vehemently disagreed with this decision. “Bruno, this is madness! The farm is becoming dangerous, and facing Graciliano alone is not the solution.”Bruno, looking seriously at Helena, responded with conviction, “I'l

CHAPTER 99

The shock hit Bruno like a blow. He had barely emerged from an intense argument with Helena when he now found himself facing a revelation that would forever change the dynamics of his life.“Excuse me, ma'am, there must be some mistake. I don't have a child other than with my wife...” Bruno began, but was interrupted by Rosaria.“I know it's hard to believe, Bruno, but Dante is your son. He's always wanted to meet you, and I thought now would be the right time for that.” Rosaria's voice carried a mix of determination and sadness.Dante remained silent, observing Bruno with curious and hopeful eyes. Bruno, still incredulous, stared at the boy, searching for resemblances that could confirm the connection Rosaria claimed existed.The tension in the air was palpable when Bruno finally addressed Dante. “Do you know why you're here, Dante? Why does your grandmother believe we're father and son?”Dante nodded timidly, appearing nervous. “My mom always told me about my dad, but I never met yo

CHAPTER 100

The guest room was illuminated by the gentle golden glow of the lamp as Helena adjusted the sheets and pillows. Her heart raced, and tension hung in the air. The possibility of Dante being Bruno's son loomed like a shadow, leaving Helena uneasy. It was when Bruno entered the room, interrupting her thoughts.“I imagine you're wondering if I knew about Dante,” Bruno said, breaking the silence.Helena turned to face Bruno, her eyes serious. “Did you know?”Bruno shook his head. “No, Helena, I swear I didn't know. I found out today at the gate when Rosária and Dante arrived.”Bruno's response didn't completely ease the tension on Helena's shoulders. “So, we need to do a DNA test to confirm paternity,” Helena stated, seeking clarity in the situation.Bruno nodded. “Alright, we can do the test. But, Helena, I feel like Dante is my son. Not just because of the prophecy, but there's something about him that feels familiar.”Helena crossed her arms, looking at Bruno seriously. “We can't rely s
