Bruno's room was in a gentle silence, with only the faint sound of the couple's peaceful breathing. The first rays of the sun began to infiltrate through the partially open window, casting a golden and soft light upon the bed where Bruno and Helena lay, naked and entwined, as if they had finally found refuge in each other.Bruno, with a loving smile, caressed Helena's sleeping face, gently tracing his fingers along her delicate contours. The touch was like a silent caress, an expression of all the love he felt for her. It was hard to believe that this was real, that after all the obstacles they had faced, they were together again.Helena, with her eyes still heavy with sleep, began to awaken slowly. Her eyelashes lifted, revealing her passionate gaze, which met Bruno's. A smile spread across Helena's lips, an expression of pure happiness."Is this real?" she whispered, as if she were still dreaming.Bruno smiled and gently stroked her hair. "Yes, Helena, it's real. You're here with me

Helena entered Eduardo Brandão's office, one of the partners at the law firm, with a sense of apprehension. She knew her situation was far from ideal, and being back at work after the scandal of her canceled marriage to Leandro was uncomfortable. Eduardo was seated behind his desk, wearing a serious expression. He observed Helena for a moment before speaking. "Helena, please, have a seat." Helena settled into one of the chairs in front of Eduardo's desk and nervously waited for him to speak. Eduardo began, choosing his words carefully. "I can imagine your current situation is complicated, Helena. Everyone here knows about your wedding with Leandro, which didn't happen. However, we know it was your choice... So you should have come to the office today on time and dressed appropriately." Helena lowered her gaze, feeling embarrassed about the situation. "I know, Mr. Brandão. I planned to return to work, but things changed. And now, I need the days that would have been our honeymoon."

Bruno was in the kitchen with his parents, enjoying a peaceful morning and having breakfast, when he heard a loud horn outside the house. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got up from the table. Helena was there, outside, waiting.He hurried to the door, and upon opening it, his eyes met hers. A huge smile lit up his face as he pulled her into a warm hug, followed by a passionate kiss.With an excited expression, Helena said, “Bruno, I've come to kidnap you for a weekend.”Bruno raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding what she meant.“Kidnap? But I have the store to take care of, Helena. I can't just close it like that.”Nilton, Bruno's father, appeared at the living room door with a smile on his lips. He looked at his son and said, “Bruno, a weekend away from the store won't hurt anyone. Put your worries aside and have some fun with Helena.”Helena smiled at Nilton, thanking him with her eyes, and then turned her attention back to Bruno. “He's right, Bruno. The store will b

Bruno watched attentively as Helena jotted down her decisions in her notebook. It was a unique scene, but he could tell that Helena was approaching it with seriousness and care, which made him appreciate her even more.Helena then asked with a slight smile, "Are you ready for the next rule?"Bruno nodded, curious to know what else she had in mind.She took a deep breath and said, "The next rule is that we won't discuss the gypsy's prophecy. We won't let it control our lives or our decisions."Bruno nodded again, fully agreeing. "I agree, Helena. We won't let that prophecy dictate our choices or haunt us."Helena closed the notebook and set it aside, then approached Bruno and kissed him gently. "This is how we're going to live, Bruno. One day at a time, with love and without fear of what we can't control."Bruno smiled and caressed Helena's face. "That sounds perfect to me, Helena. I'm glad we have these rules to guide us, but above all, I'm happy to be with you."They embraced affecti

Loreta looked into Helena's eyes and said sweetly, "His name is Nilton... Nilton is the love of my life... Or Bruno? Who is Bruno? I think it's Bruno..."Helena approached and held Loreta's hand, trying to calm her. She said affectionately, "Loreta, today is not your graduation ball. Today is a special day for Bruno, your son. He's graduating from college."Loreta looked confused at Helena for a moment and then seemed to come back to reality. Her eyes filled with sadness as she murmured, "My son... my dear Bruno."Helena gently embraced her and said, "Yes, your son is growing up and becoming an incredible man. Let's celebrate this special occasion together."Loreta nodded, looking a bit perplexed, but Helena knew that reality was quickly unraveling in Bruno's mother's mind. She knew she would have to be patient and loving during these difficult moments.***Helena and Loreta descended the stairs together, with Helena gently holding her mother's arm, ensuring she was safe with each ste
