Helena was sitting in the home office in Cuiabá, focused on her daily tasks, when her attention was captured by an email that had just arrived. It was a message from the children's school, confirming a meeting with the principal for that afternoon. However, Helena didn't recall scheduling such an appointment.Intrigued, she picked up the phone and dialed the school's number. After a few rings, the receptionist answered, and Helena identified herself as Helena Matos. The employee politely asked how she could assist.“I received an email confirming a meeting with the principal this afternoon, but I believe it's a mistake,” explained Helena.The receptionist requested a moment and, after a brief wait, confirmed that the meeting was scheduled, and it had been requested by Bruno Matos, Helena's husband. Surprised, Helena inquired about the reason for the meeting. The receptionist explained that Bruno had requested the meeting to discuss matters.Thanking for the information, Helena hung up

The tension settled in the Matos household, among the walls that witnessed joys and now faced challenges. Isabel, Emanoel, Antônio, and Dante, the children of Helena and Bruno, attended school together, but the differences in Dante's behavior became increasingly evident.While Isabel, Emanoel, and Antônio maintained exemplary academic performance, Dante was a constant cause for concern. Helena, in her tireless quest for understanding, made frequent visits to the school, trying to explain that the loss of Dante's biological mother might be causing these behavioral deviations.However, meetings with the teachers and the principal brought no good news. Dante continued to cause problems, getting involved in inappropriate situations. One day, after another call from the school, Helena decided it was time to have a serious conversation with Bruno. She was busy finishing washing the dishes while Bruno, focused, analyzed the crop quotations from the farm.Helena, determined, dried her hands a

Helena and Bruno walked back to the farm headquarters in silence, each immersed in their own thoughts. The sun was beginning to set, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink as they approached the main house.Upon reaching the porch of the headquarters, Helena took a deep breath before turning to Bruno. She knew she needed to address the issue of Dante again.“Bruno,” Helena began, her voice cautious. “I... need to take Dante back to stay with his siblings. I don't think it's fair for him to stay here on the farm.”Bruno nodded, understanding Helena's concerns. However, before he could respond, Dante approached them, his face determined.“I don't want to leave, Mom,” Dante said, his voice firm and resolute. “I want to stay here with Dad.”Helena and Bruno exchanged surprised looks, not expecting Dante's sudden determination.“Dante...” Helena started, her voice uncertain. “Are you sure about this? Don't you think it would be better to be with your siblings in Cuiabá?”Dante shook

Helena was stunned by Bruno's words, her eyes wide with disbelief reflecting her doubt about the situation. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, as if the words had been forcibly ripped from her chest with devastating force.“Divorce?” she repeated, her voice almost a whisper. “Are you serious, Bruno?”Bruno lowered his gaze, unable to meet the whirlwind of emotions he saw in Helena's eyes. He felt a lump forming in his throat, the pain of the decision weighing heavy on his heart.“Yes, Helena,” he finally replied, his voice choked with sadness. “I'm so sorry, but... I think it's for the best for both of us.”Helena felt a tightness in her chest, a sharp pain piercing her heart. She struggled to hold back the tears threatening to overflow from her eyes, her world crumbling before her.“Why, Bruno?” she asked, her voice trembling with the intensity of her emotions. “What did I do wrong?”Bruno sighed, the pain reflected in every fiber of his being. He wished he could explain to H

Helena walked through the Cuiabá airport, holding the hands of Isabel, Antônio, and Emanoel, her children walking beside her. The bustling atmosphere of the airport contrasted with the emotional weight she carried in her heart.As they reached the arrival gate, they were greeted by Marcelo, Helena's brother, whom she had invited to help her during this difficult transition. Helena smiled upon seeing him and thanked him for being there to support her.“Thank you for coming, Marcelo. Your presence will make all the difference,” she said, gratitude evident in her voice.Marcelo hugged Helena and the children, promising to stand by them throughout the divorce process. Then, he mentioned he had a surprise, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.“Wait a moment, I have something to show you,” Marcelo said, stepping away briefly.As they waited, Helena exchanged worried glances with her children, wondering what Marcelo had in mind. Before they could formulate a response, Marcelo returned, a
