Her thoughts were chaotic as she held the living room phone, her fingers white from gripping the device. Marcelo, her brother, stood beside her, watching her with concern.“Are you sure about this, Helena?” Marcelo questioned, his expression mirroring the confusion he felt.Helena nodded slowly, not taking her eyes off the phone.“Yes, Marcelo.

The sun rose over the farm in Poconé as Bruno and his children prepared to return to Cuiabá after their weekend together. The atmosphere was serene, but there was an underlying tension, especially after the encounter with Graciliano by the riverbank.Isabel, Antônio, and Emanoel helped pack the car while Bruno finalized the preparations for the journey back. The air was filled with a mixture of anticipation and concern as they prepared to leave the farm behind.As they drove back to Cuiabá, Bruno glanced at his children in the back seat, feeling the weight of the conversation he needed to have with them. He knew he couldn't let Helena know about the incident with Graciliano; it would only worry her more and could harm his relationship with the children.“Kids,” Bruno began, his voice sounding calm yet firm.“I have a favor to ask of you.”Isabel turned in her seat, her eyes filled with curiosity.“What favor, Daddy?” she asked, eager to know what it was about.Bruno took a deep breath

Helena finally arrived home after the consultation with the lawyer. Her steps were heavy, laden with the weight of decisions she needed to make as she crossed the threshold of the door and entered the living room.There, she found her mother Regina and her brother Marcelo engrossed on the television, a welcome distraction amidst the turmoil she was facing. Regina looked up as Helena entered, her face expressing concern.“How was it with the lawyer?” she asked, her voice filled with anticipation.Helena sank onto the couch with a tired sigh. “It was... fine,” she replied, running a hand through her tangled hair. “I hired him to represent us in the hearing.”Regina nodded, a glint of determination in her eyes.“I hope he's competent enough to ensure that your ex-husband pays for what he did,” she said, her voice tinged with resentment.Helena looked at her mother, concern reflected in her eyes.“I just want all of this to be over soon,” she confessed, her voice choked with emotion. “I w

Helena felt a knot form in her stomach as she left the children in the room and returned to the living room, where Marcelo and Regina awaited her with worried expressions. She tried to smile to reassure them, but the pallor of her face betrayed her true agitation. Regina wasted no time in questioning her.“What happened, Helena?” she asked, her voice laden with concern. “Are you okay?”Helena took a deep breath, trying to remain calm under the growing pressure. “It was just a fainting spell,” she replied, forcing a smile. “I'll grab something to eat in the kitchen, maybe it'll help.”As she walked away toward the kitchen, Helena felt Marcelo's eyes on her. He followed her quietly, knowing that something else was bothering his sister.“You're terrible at lying, Helena,” Marcelo said when they were alone in the kitchen, his voice serious.Helena filled a glass with water, trying to ignore Marcelo's accusation. “Why do you say that?” she replied, avoiding his gaze.Marcelo approached, hi

Upon hearing this, Bruno was visibly surprised. His eyes widened, and his expression reflected disbelief. He turned to Helena, seeking confirmation.“ São Paulo?” he murmured, unable to conceal his surprise.Helena nodded, maintaining a steady gaze.“Yes, Bruno. It's the best for me and the children,” she replied, her voice firm and resolute.Bruno, visibly bewildered, poured out his words urgently.“Helena, why didn't you mention anything about moving with the children to São Paulo?” he questioned, his voice laden with perplexity and hurt.Helena met Bruno's gaze and responded calmly, though her voice carried a slight tone of hurt.“Just as you also failed to inform me about several things,” she retorted, her determination evident in her words.She had no intention of engaging in a confrontation at that moment, but she was determined to assert her position.The judge, observing the exchange between the former couple, decided to intervene. He turned his attention to Bruno's lawyer, se

Meanwhile, Bruno stood outside the courthouse, watching Helena's car slowly drive away. It was a scene he imagined would be easy to witness, after all, they were now going their separate ways. However, his heart seemed to be lodged in his throat, beating erratically as if it might stop at any moment.As he contemplated following after Helena, a middle-aged man approached him. It was Carlos Madeira, the private investigator Bruno had hired. Bruno looked up at him, curious about his presence.“The woman who just left was Helena?” he asked directly.Bruno met Carlos Madeira's eyes, his thoughts momentarily diverted from Helena to the matter at hand.“Yes, it was her,” he replied, his voice sounding harsher than intended.Carlos Madeira nodded briefly before extending an envelope toward Bruno.“As requested, here are some details about the possible whereabouts of the gypsy,” he explained, his tone professional.Bruno looked at the envelope for a moment, hesitant. Carlos Madeira's words ec

The apartment in São Paulo, where Helena and her children temporarily resided, was a cramped space that now accommodated the whole family. Helena struggled to maintain the family routine even in the face of the abrupt changes that had occurred in their lives.On that hectic morning, Helena was in the kitchen preparing breakfast when the children appeared, each with their own concerns and questions. Isabel, the oldest, observed her mother with curiosity, noticing her more formal appearance.“Why are you so dressed up, Mom?” she asked, her voice filled with interest.Helena smiled at Isabel as she set the plates on the table.“I have a hearing at the courthouse early this morning,” she explained, “but before that, I need to drop you off at school.”Antônio entered the kitchen, still sleepy, yawning as he approached the table.“I don't want to go to school today,” he complained, his voice muffled by sleep.Emanoel followed Antônio, expressing his own reluctance.“The people at school are
