A WAKE WITH WINE AND CIGARETTES"Darling, can I make a suggestion of where we can stay for a while?" Tulio asked her as they were leaving her old school on the avenue, the same avenue she used to go with her parents and brother years ago and saw her beloved on a motorcycle next to the car, driving like a maniac and weaving through traffic."Take me wherever you want, Tulio, I don't mind," she was sitting beside him, looking outside. He turned to look at her and his heart ached to see her like this. "And Milla's funeral?"It tore her apart to verbalize that. Milla's funeral."My love, we won't be able to attend," the look of astonishment she gave him hurt him even more. "We can't risk exposing you to whoever invaded Milla's house. I can't expose you, I'm sorry."They fell into silence for a few more minutes and he kept looking at her until he said, "Milla had a house on Hill Six, she always went there and my grandma loves it there, lots of plants, a place for Ant to run free, you know,

LATE GRANDMOTHER BEATING.Tulio turned in his chair and looked at Shay. She really looked like Cloe and what she was saying to him was filling him with panic. Why did they have to look so similar, why did she remind him of a younger Cloe, despite being so problematic?Cloe came from a peaceful family, had loving and caring parents, whereas Shay's family was broken, her family was problematic and the girl was there, willing to have sex with him. It wasn't the first time she had harassed him, she wouldn't give up. She had come to the hotel looking for him and now she had driven there and wanted him.Shay seemed to see a break in his demeanor, he was weakening and looking at her. She thought and stood up, facing him. Shay smiled at him and took off her blouse, leaving only her bra."I'm here, Tulio, and I desire you, unlike her. Where is she? Why isn't she here with you in your moment of despair?" She seductively ran her hands over her bra. "You can have me here and now. I want to feel y

CORRECTIVEThe days blended into nights and Túlio stayed at home waiting for Cloe to return. She didn't call, and he thought it best not to call her either. It wouldn't be fair since he had done the same to her when he left home and ignored her calls for days. It hurt so much to remember that he had done that to her. He thought his grandmother was right - there was no greater pain than regret. It was eating him up inside. Without news from her, he was going crazy, and his life was gray.He dreamt of Cloe every night, that is, when he managed to sleep. Gringo was back, Túlio learned from his men, but he hadn't seen his friend and right-hand man yet.As for Jânio, some event requiring his attention seemed to happen almost every day and kept him busy."Salgueiro was stepping on Santo Cruz," Cannibal told him one morning, and Túlio gritted his teeth in irritation."What is Jânio up to?" Túlio bellowed, grabbing his helmet and putting his gun on his waist."It's provocation, boss, for sure

LOSSES AND DAMAGESGringo did show up, as Túlio had heard, but he didn't look for him. The loss of Milla was still an open wound in his heart. Gringo had come to the hill house to suffer alone and in peace, but when he saw Túlio's car there, he gave up on entering and left. He didn't know who to blame and blamed everyone at the same time. He just didn't blame Ant, knowing she was the target and the man had made a mistake and killed Milla, his best friend and companion. He loved her. He felt a great affection for her and they were partners. They made love, went for walks together, understood each other, and Milla never demanded that he stop loving Ant too. She understood him.He seemed to sustain himself on revenge. He hadn't gotten to the main one yet, the one who ordered the hit, but he had already killed six and was going one by one, looking for the mastermind, the one who ordered Ant's murder and killed Milla. Revenge was what eased his pain a little, and no one, not even Túlio, co

CHEAP SEDUCTIONTulio was innocent of Janio and Paco's scheming. Not entirely, because he knew that the big boss was free from Interpol and imagined that Janio had his fingers behind it, as the leader and his rival, he was certainly involved. He also knew that Paco might be speaking in Janio's ear to oust him from power within the gang. Tulio knew that this was his dream, to be alone and free from the boy, whom he treated as a kid.Paco had been very quiet and had not called him except to get his and Janio's attention. Besides that, he hadn't called him to resolve anything.Tulio walked through the community's streets thoughtfully. He thought that many of the things that had happened to him lately must have reached Paco's ears. Like Cloe's rape, Milla's death, and his girlfriend's abrupt departure, it was impossible not to have reached his ears. Including his mistakes in the gang, as he had been drinking and had let things slip a bit, he was back now, but he had been unfocused.Paco h

MACHIAVELLIAN MINDS WORKING TOGETHER.Shay had never been so humiliated in her life. She thought Tulio's punishment and rejection this time were cruel. She had been humiliated more than once by him, had ended up in the hospital and had been unable to speak for days, fearing that he had damaged her throat and she would never speak again after the night they slept together. Now, being dragged out of his room by one of his men, naked no less, was the worst humiliation for her. She felt the old wretch's eyes on her as she was taken away. She hated the damn old woman. Even in the dark, she noticed that the old woman was laughing and mocking her. She was as evil as her grandson.She saw Layla looking at her when she was there, and her gaze was always one of disgust, and now she would sleep happily knowing that her grandson had chased her away. Naked!Her face burned when Sopapo pushed her through the gate with force, throwing her into the middle of the street. Few people saw her there on th

THE PASSION FOR THE PIANOTulio didn't know that Cloe had returned to Milla's house on the hill. When Shay came looking for him at the hill house, he rejected her and they left together. He tried to find out about Cloe, without realizing that she had returned there. Innocently, Cloe didn't know that Shay had come looking for him and went to the nearest town to buy supplies to stay there for a few days. She bought food for her faithful companion, Ant, and was relieved when she returned to find that Tulio was no longer there. She needed the silence and solitude, the seclusion so she could think about her life.Her life had taken a complete turn. It was nothing like the life she had dreamed of when she fell in love with Tulio. She was so innocent and young when she fell in love. Her mind was different now, more mature, more centered. Of course, she still loved him and sighed just thinking about him. Cloe knew he regretted having pushed her away. He had been as confused as she was and had

IT'S JUST DREAMING AND DREAMING DOESN'T PAY ANYTHING!"I want to repeat a few more times how much I love you," Túlio said as Cloe rested on his chest after they had made love again and the early morning was already high. She smiled and looked at him."Know that I will never tire of hearing that.""Neither will I of repeating it.""I love you too, love, very much.""But I need to be honest with you," he sat up in bed, leaning his back against the headboard and his expression suddenly becoming serious. Cloe knew they had to talk about it, as much as it would hurt her. They had to start over with an open game, they couldn't pretend and ignore everything that had happened. Their relationship wouldn't sustain if they swept under the rug what had happened. "When I found out what happened to you, I went insane and instead of supporting you, I ran away. I ran away like a damn coward! I spent a few days getting drunk in a hotel and Shay, I still don't know how, showed up at the hotel and I was
