Cap. 52: You Won’t Have Anything.“What the hell is going on? Who is this Mrs. Bayer? Everything points to her being Mrs. Bayer. She has all this money, pays millions for treatments, and no one ever sees her in the office. My head is already hurting, but I have ways of finding this out without stressing over it,” he grumbled, standing up and heading to his room.“Do you think he’s in love with that woman?” Zacarias asked his wife, sitting next to her.“They can’t get close, especially knowing what that man said the day he was arrested. Zen can’t know that we followed everything to the end and how complicated it was for her to win the case.”“We don’t need to talk about that. Besides, he’s still in jail, and he won’t be getting out anytime soon.”“Still… it’s possible that the promise he made in the past will come back to the

Cap. 54: "We Live Together Now.""What are you thinking, Mr. Obedon?" Valmont asked, his piercing gaze fixed on Zen, who avoided eye contact, nervously running a hand through his hair."Is she sleeping? Did you drug her and bring her here? She's going to kill me! Do you know how angry that woman can get?""I've never seen her slap you," Valmont said indifferently, crossing his arms."She's a lawyer, Valmont! She could sue me, who knows?" Zen huffed, exasperated.Valmont laughed, a short, bitter laugh."And you can defend yourself, Mr. R already told you not to waste your law degree. How many things have you done in your twenty-four years? You're turning twenty-five next month and still have this empty head, you idiot kid!" Valmont asserted, giving Zen a light tap on the back of his neck. "And I still can't believe I have to serve a kid like you," he grumbled, shaking his head.Zen rolled his eyes."Bend down, servant!" he mocked, a sarcastic

Cap. 56: Bayer's Victory"What did you think?" he asked, standing upright."It's funny. Why are you wearing those accessories?" she asked, but he walked toward her, placing the sunglasses on her face."Because we're about to mess with something dangerous, simple as that. The man we're going up against isn't easy, and he already burned down your apartment. How are we supposed to stay alive if he tries something again?""True, I don't want to die on the shore after swimming so far," she admitted, adjusting the glasses.As soon as they arrived at the courthouse, the two stopped in front of the grand staircase. Lavínia's chest seemed ready to burst with excitement, while Zen scanned the surroundings with restrained anxiety. They stood before the Court of Justice, an imposing building exuding seriousness in every detail. Zen studied the space around them, feeling the tension in the air."Since they think you're dead, no on

Ch. 58: Just MeLavínia stared at the redness on her hand, feeling her skin slightly irritated. Her eyes searched for Zen in the hallway, but he had already disappeared around the corner with the young woman."Paulinha?" she murmured, her fingers curling into her palm, a blush creeping up her cheeks."Is Miss Bayer jealous? Is that what I’m seeing?" Houston asked, a sly smile on his lips. Lavínia hesitated, her gaze shifting away from his."Of course not!" she replied, her voice louder than she intended."I’d be quite surprised if a woman of your stature, not just in beauty, was jealous of an assistant," Houston continued, leaning in closer."I’m not jealous. What are you talking about?" she insisted, trying to sound indifferent."Right. You handled him well. You should set boundaries for guys like him," he said, a glint in his eyes."What kind of guys?" she asked, feeling a twinge of irritation.

Cap. 60: Shy Gestures"What are you talking about?" Lavínia asked, genuinely curious."One day, you mentioned something interesting—the reason you truly started practicing law. What was it?" Zen pressed, his eyes fixed on hers."Oh... that?" Lavínia averted her gaze, a sad glimmer in her eyes. "It’s a bit of a complicated story. I had left home that day.""You too?" Zen asked, surprised."What do you mean?""Go on.""I had discovered that my father had used his legal expertise to take everything from my mother, so I left with nothing. While I was walking down the street at that hour, a few meters away, I saw a young man struggling to walk, and right behind him, a man was following. At first, I thought he was running away, but then I realized he hadn’t even noticed the man, who pulled out a knife and lunged at him. I didn’t think twice and ran toward them. When the man stabbed the boy for the first time, I grabbed a rock and, before he could stab him again, I struck him hard on the hea
