Sara de AlmeidaI woke up that morning in a good mood for exercise. I was already able to walk supported by the physiotherapist and he had promised that we would try to walk with crutches. In the first attempts, I felt that the fear of falling was holding me back and I could not move my feet safely. Simon must have realized that my problem was my mind, that it wasn't helping, because he turned on the stereo, asked me to close my eyes and concentrate on the music, and his voice. I closed my eyes and started listening to the opera invade the entire room. I knew her very well, she was Thomas' favorite. I remembered the first time I heard it at home in Brazil. We had gotten together to celebrate Laura's birthday and Thomas was talking to Matheus about classical music. I looked at him fascinated, I thought Thomas was the smartest man in the world. She looked like a teenager admiring her prince charming. Then he asked if I liked classical music. I replied that I wasn't used to listening. He

Laura AnthonySimon's interview had warned me about something that would have destroyed me. I had taken a risk by entering the gossip sites to look for information about the band, but I couldn't stand being without news and not knowing if he had seen my messages. Thank God Simon managed to let me know that Thomas was alive, because the next day, my grandfather came through the main door bearing the news of my father's death. His cynicism disgusted me to the point that I couldn't help it. I vomited up the valuable Lucca rug without mercy. For them, I was shaken by the news, but the truth is, I was playing the most difficult role of my life. Simulating the death of a person I loved. I cried, screamed, broke everything with great pleasure. Beautiful vases, cups, bowls. I was out of control. At that moment I played all the anger I felt for that man, in the role of a daughter revolted by her father's death.—Laura, you need to pull yourself together. Think of your son — Lucca spoke and I i

Simon LeeI wasn't going to wait another second for Laura. It was clear that she had been caught and could be in danger of her life. I sent a radio warning that we were going to invade and asked everyone to wait for the command. I was walking until I got very close to the house, when I heard the voice that gave meaning to my whole existence.—Simon Lee, wait!—Abort! — I said into the radio.I looked to the side and Laura was in a man's lap. Lucca Capone. On a defensive instinct I pulled out my gun and pointed it at Lucca . The men beside him threatened to do the same, but the chief's command stopped them.— No. Put away the weapons. Lucca looked at me and waited for me to do the same .I looked at Laura and she nodded, smiling. I took a deep breath and put the pistol away. The man approached me cautiously, carrying my wife and child in his arms. I was in a state of alert and looked all the time at the hands of the security guards around me.— Do not worry. No one will do anything to

Sara de AlmeidaWe got off at the airport's private terminal and I couldn't stop thinking about Thomas. Maicon helped me with the crutches, while Simon carried Laura in his arms. The car that would take us to Thomas's apartment was already waiting for us, accompanied by three vehicles with security. Simon asked one of the vehicles to take Maicon and Mia home. He put Laura in the black SUV and came towards me to help me.—I'm not going with you. I prefer to go straight to the apartment. We'll talk later — I said touching his shoulder.—What do you mean, sister?— Thomas must be dying to see you.—I'm not sure about that, but I can't see him in that state either. I need some rest. Those were difficult days. My head doesn't feel good at all — I walked, supported by crutches, to the car where the musicians were. Simon helped me in and said worriedly.—I can't leave you alone. We still don't know where Pierre is. You need security.— Everything is fine. I ask one of the security guards to a

Thomas AnthonyIn a few minutes we arrived at Simon's apartment. He knelt before his friend's body and wept. I found Jonny standing over the body of Bob, one of the agency's most senior security guards. I touched his shoulder and asked what we had for clues.—We managed to get the plate, but it must have been tampered with. We are activating the Transit Center to follow the route. We have already notified the police and they are monitoring the airports and the main exits of the city.—Have you notified Bob's family yet?—The wife is already on her way.Simon approached, completely devastated.—I shouldn't have let Sara come here. I should have insisted that she accompany us.—It wasn't your fault. We're both going to find her. — Jonny grabbed his brother by the neck and their foreheads were pressed together. The union between brothers seems to have become even stronger with the arrival of Sara. That protective instinct between them was something I knew well.—The three of us are going

Sara de AlmeidaAfter the doctor released me, I found Matheus in the hallway. He was coming out of a room and he came towards me. The nurse pushing the wheelchair said he was going to call someone to take me downstairs, but Matheus said he would take care of me. I thanked him when the man took his leave.—Thank God he's on the mend. My father is sleeping, but he will love to wake up and see you.— I can't Matheus!—Can't what? — He frowned, crouching down in front of me.—I want you to give this to Thomas.— I held the envelope out to him. — It has my resignation and another letter explaining my reasons.—None of that. You will hand it to him yourself. Why are you doing this?—Because there are things about me that you don't know. I've lied too much to everyone. I am tired. I don't dare look at him.The elevator door opened and Jonny appeared in the hallway. He walked to Matheus, who got up and greeted him. Afterwards, my brother kissed me on the cheek and asked if I was ready.—Sara,

Thomas AnthonyI opened my eyes and saw Matheus sitting in the armchair, playing with his cell phone, as usual.—Won't you stop for a minute, boy?—Good to see you too, Dad, and thanks for the boy — he replied without taking his eyes off the phone.—I can't take being stuck in hospitals anymore,— I mumbled, shifting in bed.—Ditto. Take care of yourself and we won't have to look at Dr. André — Matheus dropped the cell phone and came to help me lift the head of the bed.— My poor friend. He can't bear to look at your face anymore either.—You're right, Thomas. — The doctor confirmed after entering the room.— What is doctor? It's not every day that a pretty face like mine wanders around your hospital. Nurses have nothing to complain about.I burst out laughing when I saw my friend's astonished face. My son was no good, but I had already noticed that he was the reason for the buzz in the halls.— Good. I am sorry to inform you that you will no longer be the target of my employees' eyes.

Simon Lee—I thought he was going straight home from the hospital to rest, and he calls me to say he's away on business. When is my dad going to stop living for work and start taking better care of himself? The call from Thomas the day before had made Laura very nervous.—Don't worry so much, Little One. Your brother has it — I tried to argue as I finished putting on my black sneakers.—But he'll hear me out when he gets back.— If you don't want to retire, you'll have to take a vacation of at least two years.Laura paraded in her bra and panties in front of me. Her belly was the most beautiful thing and I admired her feeling an immense love for my family. That scene, for sure, would have made me very horny at another time, but we were getting ready for Maicon's funeral and I was trying to disguise my sadness.—I doubt he'll do that.— Even more so now that Sara has disengaged from the Phoenix,— I said, standing in front of the closet mirror.—I don't understand what's going on in that
