LOGINDolores Ferreira travels to the countryside to reclaim the land that once belonged to her family.

But fate doesn’t seem to be on her side.

He narrowed his eyes against the cloud of dust rising from the dirt road.The pickup truck zigzagged dangerously. It burst through the open gate with a jolt, skidded on the gravel, and stopped with the bumper scraping against the wall, scratching the paint.Pâmela placed a hand over her chest, her heart racing."My God!"Rafael stepped out of the barbecue area, jaw tight and brow furrowed.The driver’s door opened with difficulty. A man climbed out, almost tripping over his own feet, the smell of burnt oil and alcohol spreading before he even began to speak. Three workers got out of the back seat, sweaty, stained with grease, laughing quietly."Thanks, guys," the driver said, patting their shoulders. "Without you I’d be sleeping on the roadside tonight."They waved, exchanging pats on the back, and headed toward the ranch hands’ h
Chapter 96After the commotion, the doctor returned to the room to check on Pâmela again. They repeated the tests, did a new CT scan, and assessed her vital signs.Rafael waited by her side, paying attention to every detail. Almost an hour later, the doctor came back with the chart in his hands.“The tests are normal. The concussion was mild, there’s no internal bleeding. She should rest and take pain medication. She’s cleared for discharge.”For Pâmela, being discharged could only mean one thing: danger.As soon as the doctor left, silence filled the room. She stared at her own hands.“I don’t know where to go.”The fragility in her voice squeezed Rafael’s chest. He thought for a few seconds.“We can go to the police station and file a report. Register everything. The threat, the break-in here at the hospital…”She shook her head.“He’ll kill me.”Rafael frowned.“He won’t.”“You don’t know him,” her voice began to tremble. “He has friends. He knows people. If I do that, he’ll finish
Chapter 95She was taken for examinations, the cut on her head was stitched, and they checked for possible fractures. Rafael waited outside, pacing back and forth, feeling guilt crush his chest.Almost an hour later, the doctor came out of the room."She is out of danger. She had a mild concussion and some bruises, but she’ll be fine. We just need to observe her for a few hours."Rafael felt his legs weaken with relief."Can I see her?""You can. But don’t stress her."He entered the room slowly. The young woman was lying down, her red hair spread across the white pillow. Even pale, there was something about her that held his gaze.He sat in the chair beside the bed. He stayed there, waiting, and two hours passed.Then, slowly, her eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes.For a few seconds, she was confused. The ceiling was not her bedroom’s. The smell was not her home’s. She frowned. She didn’t remember lying down. In fact… that was not her room.Was she dreaming?She turned her
Chapter 94In less than an hour, all the deliveries in town were completed. Boxes unloaded, receipts signed, and new orders confirmed.Rafael got into the pickup truck and started the engine. As he shifted into gear, his gaze drifted for a moment to the other side of the street.He saw Luana walking slowly along the sidewalk, holding hands with another man. It was Mr. Alexandre’s son. She was smiling at him.Rafael went still. Robson noticed the strange silence from his brother and followed his line of sight.The scene was like a punch straight to the face."We lost," Robson said.Rafael swallowed hard. His fingers tightened around the steering wheel."Yeah…" he agreed, almost in a whisper.He put the truck in gear and drove off without looking again. Because looking hurt.Silence.They made the remaining deliveries like automatons. They fulfilled every commitment. Signed papers. Collected payments.And so they continued until everything was done.
