(MAËL 4).

(2025, Braga).

That August would be the death of me—too much work for one stage alone. What excited me about staying in this game wasn’t just the music or the money, but the fact that this time, several world-renowned artists would be performing with us—something that rarely happened on such a grand scale, all thanks to an electronic music festival in my own country. In my own country! That made our company a pioneer for this kind of event in Braga, as I said before, on this level.

The best part of it all was coming back. I’d spent a terrible year going back and forth between Portugal and London. In 2020, the project with ID&T was delayed for months, and Joao and I had to keep looking for sponsors, forcing us to fall back on old routines: me finishing my Business Administration degree, and Joao working with his father in politics while collaborating with my brother in Lisbon. We needed a lot of cash that we didn’t have. The stress and the disappointment over the delay me

    (EPILOGUE - 2)."WHAT?!" I immediately brought my hands to my mouth. Stunned, I watched as the famous Portuguese singer—dressed in his usual relaxed attire, his arms covered in striking tattoos, his hair slightly long and loose—approached with a smile, guitar in hand. He pulled up a chair and settled in. Gregorio reappeared to adjust the microphone levels and place another one in front of the instrument. I looked at Maël. "You did it again." He smiled, a special gleam in his eyes. "You deserve it," he whispered in my ear. He gently cupped the back of my neck and pressed his lips to mine. "Congratulations to the happy couple," the singer said. "I’m thrilled to be here sharing this special moment in your lives. This song is called ‘Tu e Eu,’ at the request of my friend Maël." My eyes widened in disbelief, more astonished than ever, my mouth dry from hanging open. I shook my head, smiling, and grabbed my fiancé’s hand, squeezing it tightly and bringing it to my chest. "S

    Still inside me, sitting face to face. The hair on his chest, something new and spicy, nothing cumbersome or excessive, told me he was no longer the young man from those years. My fingertips traced patterns between them to the rhythm of our now-calmed breathing. His hands traveled to my hair and my face. He slowly caressed my eyelashes, my lips, and my nose with his fingers and his mouth. We gazed at each other for a long time, pressed close, saying things in silence, happy to be together. What magnificent relief, what indescribable sensation. "Did I already tell you I love you?" I whispered reverently. He smiled at my words without leaving my neck, while my hands roamed the vast valley of his strong, beautiful back. His fingers were anything but idle, tracing familiar paths along my body as if he already knew them by heart. "I love you too." His voice echoed through the corners of our intimacy. Rotation, creamy circles, the haze of love becoming our bed. I felt Maël more ex

    (MAËL 7)."Oh my God, so… that’s where Delu and you…?" "No. What happened with Delu was after that bastard proposed to her." I smiled now, not an ounce of amusement in it. "He never admitted it, but I’m sure that son of a bitch only asked her to marry him to screw up my chances with her." "And because of Belinda, I assume." "Yep." Turns out, between the two of us, I wasn’t the only one who hated. Nikko had his own special affection for me too. What my cousin never knew was that before he gave Delu that ring at a family Christmas dinner, she and I had already kissed. "What?!" "I really never told you that?" "No, never." You only mentioned Delu as an ex who left a mark, but fuck… she’s way more than that. I raised my eyebrows and nodded, leaning back in the chair again. "After that, everything got… everything was…" "When exactly was it?" "What?" "When you and Delu started." Melancholy carves holes in my psyche. "The same day Delu finally left Nikko." A silence

    (MAËL 6)I hated to admit it, but Delu was right: that lack of privacy wasn’t good. Without it, I would’ve enjoyed reading about myself on that Instagram account with a link in the bio leading to a fairly well-known website. But she was featured in that post too—worth noting (and savoring)—standing beside me with her eternal caution, fitting her point together with all its pieces. That girl wasn’t just some obsessed fan, that much was clear. And I’d made several calls to get help investigating her, only to be warned to stay away. She’d fooled us with that youthful schoolgirl complexion. Later, I was told she’d left the hotel. No, she wasn’t stupid. “But where did that woman come from?” I asked Joao over the phone. Hearing him sigh put me on edge. “You’re gonna be pissed, but don’t make a scene.” “What is it?” “Apparently, that girl used to date your cousin. Nikko.” I went silent. “You’re kidding me.” She was reappearing like Delu, but to me, Nikko was already a ghost. “

    I arrived at the apartment. Dhumas lifted his face from the laptop, saw my expression, and immediately realized something bad had happened to me. But instead of saying anything, he kept staring at his computer. The thousand breaths I took to calm myself after that encounter—and after the conversation with Sandra—weren’t enough. Not even the kilo of makeup I’d caked on to hide the redness sufficed. I dropped my bag on the small table by the door and strolled to the living room, bathing in the warmth of the heater and the smell of freshly cooked food. My husband was sitting in the middle of the three-seater sofa, leaning forward, strands of his black hair falling over his forehead, serious. He didn’t look away from the screen, not even when I stood right in front of him. It was already late afternoon, almost evening. I’d wandered aimlessly before coming here. The call with Sandra had been long, and that had eaten up the hours too. I sat beside him, and when I saw what was on his

    We sat back down, and Maël asked for more water before placing the glass in front of me. "Drink. You need it," he said seriously, then burst into laughter. "Stop joking around, Maël. Just wait until everyone’s chasing you, and you can’t even step outside your own house." He kept laughing. "Don’t exaggerate, this was pure coincidence. You have your own fans, and it’s not like they harass you, right?" He couldn’t stop laughing but then calmed down. "By the way, speaking of other things, I haven’t forgotten that thanks to you, I no longer have a house. You screwed up my purchase, Delu Vaz. I think the real estate agent was traumatized." I tried not to laugh. "We had that house locked down for a while, and then you swooped in and took it from us." "Me?!" "Yes, you!" I finally let out a laugh. "But let’s not dwell on the house issue, or we’ll end up arguing again." I pretended to brush lint off my clothes. "That’s exactly what I was telling you earlier." I subtly gestured t
