Chapter 1

"In peace, I say I am the former of what goes forward. No more, I stay where I am, I prefer to remain distant..." - Answer, Skank.The night was cold, the strong wind made the leaves on the trees sway violently, indicating that heavy rain would certainly start to fall any minute. Although the temperature was low, cold was the least of my feelings at that moment, as I was busy pouring champagne into the luxurious crystal glasses and arranging the sophisticated delicacies on the tray so that the waiters and waitresses hired for that typical upper class event would take them all away. I looked at that kitchen full of people running from one side to the other, all focused on doing their job in the most impeccable way possible, taking into account that this was one of the many exquisite parties of the brilliant and popular Carter family, known for its tradition in the law business, where Kyara and Henrico Carter were the most prestigious couple in this area.Kyara is the most influential l

Sunday dawned sunny, although the temperature was not high. The sky was clear and extremely blue, not even looking like a heavy rain had fallen the night before. I had been playing with Bento on the open grass for hours, already feeling tired and with pain in my legs - sedentariness says hello, Helena - not seeing a sign of exhaustion in the German shepherd, who was looking for the little ball that I had just thrown. The house was empty, as earlier everyone had gone out for breakfast and to accompany Mr. Henrico to the airport, as he would be traveling in a few hours."No, Bento! Not in the mud!" I ran to try to reach him and stop him from going into the garden, otherwise the damage would be very ugly. "BENTO, DO YOU WANT TO SEE ME DEAD? I was about to finish shouting for the dog that was running happily towards its forbidden destination, until I tripped over my feet, falling like an avocado falling off a tree. As if by some magic step, Benedict immediately stopped running and looked

Chapter 3

John's POVI was preparing my client's defense thesis, carefully studying all the arguments that could be used in order to obtain his acquittal. This would be my first case with media coverage, and this was making me a little nervous, after all, the prosecution has a very big advantage, since it is easier to accuse than to defend. Lee Feldmann was a businessman and had been accused of murdering the banker Mason Zummack, but it was quite clear that behind this there was someone who wanted to frame him by false accusation, and I would not allow a wrongful conviction to land an innocent man in jail. I had obtained a revocation of his pre-trial detention, but he would be under house arrest until the day of the trial. I dropped the papers under the table for a few seconds and propped my elbows on it. I massaged my temples and let out a tired sigh, going over everything I had been told about the day of Mason's murder.The crime had taken place in a place far from the city, where a party was

Chapter 4

Helena's POV The days flew by and with college taking up most of my time, I didn't even notice. Saturday was nice and the weather was firm, making it possible for us to go out with light and comfortable clothes. I returned home looking forward to a shower after a quiet day at the record store where I worked. Nothing like my laptop, some snacks to eat, and some good movies. Yes, my Saturday night would be that way, and I had no problem with it. I had received my paycheck, and I was overjoyed to be able to contribute to the expenses, and to be putting more than half of my salary into an account that I had opened in order to have enough money so that we could get a place to live. Of course my mother didn't know about this last part, otherwise it wouldn't be any fun. The Carters would not be having any events that weekend, which meant that quiet would reign and I would not have any injured fingers while cutting anything. My mood was magnificent, I could almost hear the birds singing an

Chapter 5

I headed home extremely discouraged and frustrated, cursing Bryan for ruining my good mood and creating all this unnecessary drama when all he should be doing is pretending I don't exist, as he had done so many other times. I threw my purse in a corner of the room and jumped on the sofa, closing my eyes and feeling my body relax, although my head was torturing me with an unpleasant pain. Suddenly I remembered the day Bryan had spoken to me for the first time. FLASHBACK I stared exhausted at the third page of math exercises, feeling my wrist aching from writing, writing down, and erasing. I was sitting at a small table that I had placed on the veranda so that studying on hot days would be more pleasant. I had spent the whole afternoon studying, the last year of high school was extremely hard and I did my best to absorb all the subjects, since all I wanted was to go to college the following year. I rested my head on one of my hands and sighed, watching the night fall. "I heard someon

Chapter 6

John's POV I felt extremely out of patience. What was supposed to be a pleasant day in the company of my friends had turned into a stress that could have - and should have - been avoided, if not for Bryan and his childishness. Talking to Helena that way was despicable, she had become unstructured and I was bothered by the sorrow on her features while listening to my friend's provocations, so I decided to intervene, although it was too late considering the slap the girl gave him. To be honest, I was amazed at her courage in speaking so confidently. I usually saw Bryan's provocations directed at her, and she always fought back with dignity, and all I did was observe her behavior in front of my friend's immature behavior - behavior that I disapproved of completely - I had thought of reprimanding him several times, however, Helena usually took the reins of the situation and defended herself very well, it was interesting to know that a girl who seemed so serene had such a sharp tongue.

Chapter 7

Helena's POVIt was after three o'clock in the morning, I could feel my feet hurting from the high heels, and the atmosphere made me uncomfortable because of some of the dirty looks I was getting. The party was great, I couldn't deny that, but it wasn't my world. All that luxury was surreal! Really, who buys a triplex to live alone? I would never understand, but who am I to argue, right? Sophie was chatting with a guy and it was noticeable that they were flirting with each other, so I signaled to her that I would take a walk with the obvious intention of leaving the two of them alone. I walked around the stunning apartment, contemplating all the refinement of the place, from the furniture that was certainly worth millions, to an extensive glass wall. I stopped there admiring the enchanting landscape of the city at dawn, marveling at the lights forming small bright spots seen from up here."Did you see it? I think Carter and Cassie had a fight" I heard the instant two girls approach

Chapter 8

Silence settled over the room and I glanced over at him, seeing that he, like me, was gazing at the view lost in thought. I don't know how long we remained like this, but the stillness was broken by the sound of his cell phone ringing. Still with a little difficulty, he took the phone from his pants pocket and answered without even seeing who it was."Hello? Hello?" he repeated. Seeing that he was not answered, he stared at the cell phone screen and frowned, putting it away soon after.The silence was again present, and although it was not at all uncomfortable, it still made me uneasy."I know it's none of my business, but I don't think it's a good idea for you to drive home," he turned his attention away from the view ahead and stared at me, his gaze meeting mine, which stared back at him. The half-light illuminated his face, and his opaque eyes seemed to want to unravel mine through the absence of sound. For a few moments I felt disconcerted, his curious and silent analysis made so

Chapter 9

"Helena, I can't take it anymore!" Sophie exclaimed, resting her head on top of the numerous sheets scattered across the desk. It was about five o'clock in the afternoon and we were working on our senior thesis project.I had had enough sleep, unlike the girl in front of me, who was the personification of disaster. After a restless night with Adrian, he took her home and, according to her, she had slept for only three hours, then came to get her car and bring my things that were at his place. Taking advantage of this, we decided to advance some topics of our project. Sure enough, we lost a good few hours before actually starting it, since I made her tell me - almost - everything about the previous night.And so did she.And when I say also, it is because she made me talk about my late-night companion: John Carter."Staying up all night having fun with the party cat, you can handle that, can't you?" I gave her a mischievous look, and she returned it with her middle finger."Let's not m

Chapter 10

John's POVDuring my childhood, I loved watching action movies and seeing the characters run, fight, and make the most unbelievable escapes. I loved the way the twists and turns occurred, I saw the villains' schemes and the victory of the good guys, and although I didn't understand much, I found it all very interesting. Now, as an adult, I realize that nothing is as wonderful as it seems. Since the moment I took over the Zummarck case, I have been receiving strange calls from a private number, and they happen at various times of the day. The last one occurred in the early hours of the morning. I wasn't sure if I was just paranoid, but as I was in the car with Helena, I had the impression of seeing a motorcycle a little behind us. I stared intently at my cell phone screen, pondering the reasons why someone would spy on me, already having an idea.I would wait for the next move of whoever it was and take the appropriate measures for this type of situation. No one could frighten me. I
