MasukHannah’s POVI sat with my uncle and Rubens in the surgical center's waiting room. The doctor had assured me it would be a very simple and quick procedure, and Rafael didn't want me to notify anyone, especially because he didn't want Giovanna at the hospital with all that chaos. While we waited, Flavian approached, accompanied by Breno and Little Renata."How are you, Hannah?" he asked gently."I'm fine, Flavian, thank you! I just needed some time after all that.""Yeah, it was pretty intense, but it happened exactly how I imagined it would; Rafael freaking out because of you, you running to take a bullet for him... that crazy woman was right when she said you two were made for each other." Flavian laughed, and I had to laugh with him, because Melissa had been absolutely right. "I heard Rafael's in surgery?""Nothing serious, just a fracture realignment." I smiled. "I'll be taking my crazy cat home today.""Oh, that's good, so he won't miss the self-defense class. Although I heard Nune
Giovanna’s POVAfter a cold and very long shower, I still felt something inside me that kept heating up from bottom to top. I knew that Anderson took cold showers to calm down and sometimes needed something else. Except I was thinking that this time I was the one who needed something else, because the shower hadn't calmed me down. Maybe I needed more making out or maybe I needed to ask someone if I could calm down another way.I sat at the table pouting; this was making me feel impatient and a little nervous. Anderson sat next to me and we opened our books, started studying, but I found everything very difficult."Focus, little tiger! You're very scattered. I'm going to regret giving you a prize!" Anderson threatened and I huffed."You can't regret it! What's given is given! And I want it every time I get a ten..." I regretted it the moment I spoke. "Correction, I want it always!" I put the pen in my mouth and looked at him."Little tiger, you're terrible!" He was smiling, a beautiful
Flavian’s POVAs soon as I saw Breno arriving with Tutu, I breathed a sigh of relief. They were in one piece."Where is everyone? Did everything go okay upstairs?" I wanted to know."We had a hiccup, but it worked out," Breno answered and turned around. "Guys, bring those scumbags over here. Better gather everyone. We've got two of ours grazed by bullets, one dead and the other dying. Tony stayed up there waiting for backup.""Tutu, go to the last room on the other side and let the doctors know we're done here, we're just going to do a final sweep of the hospital. And ask Molina to request four stretchers for the helipad and two down here." I gave the order and the officer rushed off to carry it out, while five handcuffed men were made to sit on the floor in front of me."What a joke!" Bonfim approached with Nunes and made him sit near the others. "All cops! Dirty cops! What a disgrace! You're the plague of the force!""What did you expect, Detective?" Nunes asked with disdain. "With t
Breno’s POVI entered the elevator with Flavian knowing he trusted me to stop those criminals from escaping, even though he was worried about my condition. And although I still had stitches in my body, I wasn't in pain because I'd been medicated shortly before, which had been very convenient. I wasn't being reckless; I was just well enough not to let my team down.That's what I was thinking when I saw the video and message Renata sent to my phone, telling me about the hospital invasion and asking me to stay alert and not be an easy target. I immediately decided what to do: I'd be a harder target if I was in the field rather than in a hospital bed. I called Tutu and showed him the message. He just stared at me and nodded in agreement. It was his idea to tell the nurse I was in pain so she'd give me medication and I could move around without feeling any pain.As soon as I managed to escape from my room, we reached Flavian. Good thing Little Renata had brought my gun the day I was transfe
Renata’s POVThe detective gave me the most boring part of the job, but he definitely did it because I had been terrorizing Nicole since the day of the shootout at the prison. And since the detective left me out of the grown-up work, I was going to play with my new friend.I arrived on the floor and saw the guards outside the door in what seemed to be a discussion. Then they left the room door and walked toward the elevators. This wasn't good! I disguised myself so they wouldn't see me and then ran to Nicole's room. She was in bed, with that poor-me face."What do you want?" She got agitated as soon as she saw me. "Get out of here! I'm going to scream.""Shut up, you wretch!" I approached her and covered her mouth with my hand. She tried to fight, but I got closer. "Listen up, bitch, I'm here to save your life. Someone wants to wipe you out and it's not me. I want you nice and alive now that we're friends." Her eyes told me everything, she thought I was crazy. Maybe I was! "I'm going t
Hannah’s POVWhen I saw Frederick disfigured and unresponsive on the floor, all I could think was that he couldn't die, he had to survive! Survive to feel the same pain I felt when I woke up from anesthesia with my face completely broken. Survive to feel the same pain I felt day after day, for weeks, while my bones healed. Survive to feel firsthand the same pain he had caused me. In my mind, there was no better punishment for him.But at the same time, I realized that I had taken a fall and still didn't know the results of my pregnancy test. Then an enormous desperation hit me! What if I was pregnant and lost the baby because of that fall? A fall that would have been avoided if I had stayed put with Rubens.But when everything happened, I didn't think, I completely forgot that I could be pregnant, in an early stage of pregnancy when everything is even more delicate. What if I was pregnant and lost my baby? Rafael would never forgive me!And while I looked at that monster Frederick lyin
