REMINDSEven though the idea she gave at the meeting was the best and everyone, after she left them, decided to put it into practice, Tulio was deeply annoyed with her.“ Boss, the idea is good and we should carry it out," said Gringo. “ We have at least three who come to mind now who could stand in Kobe's place and take the blame.”“ Do you think this might be possible, Valdo?” Tulio asked the lawyer.“ Yes, it is quite possible if you have someone to take the blame in his place. Everything would have to be done as quickly as possible, before the next hearing I have with the prosecutor.”And everything was settled. Tulio asked his men to make a survey and see who could come forward as soon as possible.He went to his house on his motorcycle, he loved to accelerate to the maximum when he had so many things on his mind as he did now. He went straight past his house, got on a highway and rode for more than two hours, until his body was exhausted and his ass was stiff. He didn't go home
IMPULSIVE WORDSHe told Shay that everything was fine, that he would do it for any friend."You know I stand up for my own, right?" he said as she pulled away from him with teary eyes."I know that, Boy, but, you know, I know my dad has this problem, we fight a lot because of it, but he...my dad is all I have. That's why I'm so grateful to you."Shay left, wiping her eyes, and Túlio went to the small room in his grandmother's house. After lying down, he thought not only about what the girl had said about her father being all she had, but also about the resemblance she had to Cloe. His old Cloe. This disturbed him, and before he knew it, he was grabbing his helmet and going to talk to Fat.This time the man took a while to answer. He was busy in his office and Túlio was playing ball with his grandchildren in the backyard until he was called by Estela, Fat's wife, who, unlike her husband, was immense. Her weight burdened her and she looked like a duck, waddling to the backyard and calli
NOSTALGIA"Tulio left his house again and went back to the hotel. He didn't want to go to his grandmother's house again, he wasn't in the mood to hear the whining and sermon that she would surely give him for being there again. He was riding his bike down the street and ran into Shay. He stopped the bike.'Where are you going?' he asked, pulling up next to her. Again, she reminded him of the old Cloe, he saw sweetness in her eyes.'Just taking a walk, it's too hot to sleep,' she replied with a smile. 'And you, where are you going at this hour?''Just getting some fresh air, nothing special. Actually, I was heading to a hotel where I spent last night.'Shay was then sure that he and Cloe weren't doing well, since he was going to sleep in a hotel.'Do you want to talk a little?' she asked, being careful not to show her anxiety and desire for him to say yes. 'We can go to my house, have a coffee or something stronger, and then you can go to the hotel.'She wanted to make it clear that sh
CHAOS"Before doing something he would regret later, Túlio got up from Shay's couch and left without even saying goodbye, leaving her bewildered. He couldn't go to the hotel he stayed the night before because he had overdone it with beer. He decided to face his grandmother instead.Even when turning off his motorcycle at the gate, he saw her turning on the outside light. As he leaned the motorcycle against the wall, she started speaking:"I can't believe you're coming here at this hour! Look, I'm not going to live much longer, in fact, I'm going to die soon because you're accelerating my death..."She kept talking while he undressed and entered the bathroom. She continued talking while he took a shower and even when he lay down in his little room in her backyard."Maybe I'll die well before you, grandma," he blurted out with his eyes already closed, knowing that if he said that, she would fall silent, and that's what happened."What are you trying to say?" she pushed him to sit on the
THE TRUTH CAME OUT Tulio knew that Bore would not easily tell him where he could find Janius, so he left there with a hot head. Cloe was not indifferent to what was happening. They wouldn't let her go with them on the raids she was going on, and her situation with Tulio was not cool. She didn't want to clash with him, not this time. She went to Milla's house and as soon as her friend saw her she started talking: " Cloe, my friend, everything is very complicated right now. Boy must have a lot on his mind, and before you ask me what is going on, remember how he punishes you.” " Milla, I don't want to get involved, I promise I won't get involved this time, but he left in the middle of the night and hasn't come back. I'm worried.” Cloe entered her friend's house behind her. The panic on her face made Milla feel sorry for her. " Remember the time you managed to get him not to punish me for intervening in their lives? Milla spoke again. " How could I forget, Milla? I almost peed my
GIANT FIGHTWhat the hell was that guy talking about? Túlio had been without sleep or food for almost two days and only now was he realizing it. Weakness in his legs, pain in his fingers that had punched the older man in front of him who seemed to realize what he had let slip. Jânio realized it too, seeing Túlio's expression trying to understand what he was talking about. It seemed like he was searching his weak mind to see if what he was saying had really happened, when, and by whom...?Túlio searched his weak mind for how that could have happened. Had Cloe been raped? But how? When? By whom?The people around him and Jânio seemed to feel the tension and heavy atmosphere that had settled. The tension in the air was palpable. The days without food and the obsession that had taken hold of him searching for his rival was finally taking its toll now, as he saw stars bursting in front of his eyes.Cloe was a virgin when he met her. He was her first man, there was no doubt about that! It w
RELIVING THE PAINCloe was devastated that he had found out, especially in this way Gringo held her by the waist, preventing her from getting in the middle of the two, fearing she would be hit by Túlio's uncontrolled blows. Everyone on the street looked astonished. Other people from nearby streets had been warned and came to see what was happening."You're despicable!" Túlio yelled as he beat him. "This is low even for you! You're not a respectable cannibal, you don't deserve anyone's trust!"Cloe managed to break free from Gringo's tight grip by biting his hand and jumped on Túlio's back, pulling him down. It was only when she ripped his shirt that she managed to get him off of Túlio."Love, let's go, please, enough!" She shouted so much that her throat hurt, but she finally managed to calm him down.He didn't look at her or anyone when he left, walking to the open car that Gringo and his friends had arrived in. Gringo threw him the key, he got into the car and left alone."Leave hi
I AM SORRY…Shay, like everyone in the community, had heard about the beating that Tulio had given to the mafioso from another gang, and she also knew the reason behind it. Since then, she had been looking for Tulio like a crazy person. Of course, she didn't tell anyone, but she wanted to know where he was. She had passed by his house and his grandmother's house, but there was no sign of him in the whole neighborhood. She had been following him for two days until on the third day of her search, she managed to get his number from one of the boys in the shop."Are you crazy, girl? What are you doing?" Rafa, the new kid in the shop, who was only new to the job, as he was already 21 years old, his face covered in pimples, spoke only in slang, and she noticed how he looked at her breasts when he saw her passing by. He told her when she asked him if he knew where Tulio was. "The boss hasn't been around these days since he fought with Janio. I don't know where he is, you know? I wouldn't e
