About an hour later, she heard the garage gate open. Such intense relief flooded her that she almost cried. Moments later, Hector walked into the kitchen. He looked tired, his shoulders a little hunched, but his eyes were alert, scanning the room immediately.

"Everything all right?" he asked, his gaze instantly detecting her anguish.

"Mr. Almeida called. The police were at the hospital. They want to speak with you. Formally."

Hector's face went still, a mask of granite. He didn't seem surprised, just... resigned.

"So that's how it's going to be," he murmured. He picked up his cell phone and went straight to his office, closing the door behind him. Theresa heard the low murmur of his voice but couldn't make out the words.

When he came out half an hour later, his plan was in motion.

"I'm meeting with Almeida tomorrow morning. Then, I'll go to the station voluntarily. It's the best approach. To seem cooperative."

"But what if they... what if they arrest you?"

    About an hour later, she heard the garage gate open. Such intense relief flooded her that she almost cried. Moments later, Hector walked into the kitchen.

    Chapter 39Hector's voice echoed in the silent kitchen, a firm and unquestionable command. He placed his own cell phone on the marble table with a sharp click."Do not open the door for anyone. Not even people you know. The security system is activated."He paused, his dark eyes fixed on hers, ensuring every word was absorbed."If anything, and I mean anything, seems off to you, call me immediately. Don't think twice."Theresa nodded slowly, feeling the physical weight of that responsibility on her shoulders. The house was a modern fortress, bulletproof glass, sensors at every entrance, but at that moment, she felt as if she were on the front line, unarmed and exposed. The air conditioner whispered, but it was the only sound."Be careful," she asked, and her voice came out as little more than a stolen whisper, almost choked by the emotion insisting on rising.Hector, who had already turned to leave, stopped. For a brief and fragile moment, the mask of strategic coolness, that armor he

    Chapter 38Theresa succumbed instantly. A low, raspy moan escaped her throat—a primitive sound she didn't recognize—as her hands rose to grip his shoulders, his arms, anything to anchor her in the whirlwind. Her mouth responded with equal fervor, not a kiss but a claiming, an affirmation, her fingers digging into the thick fabric of his coat, trying to pull him closer as if to fuse their bones.He kissed her voraciously, his tongue tracing the line of her lips before invading, savoring her taste—coffee, wine, Theresa. His hands slid from her face, mapping the side of her body like a cartographer rediscovering beloved territory, skimming her waist, then settling on her thighs, fingers pressing into her flesh through the thin fabric of her dress.In one fluid motion, he lifted her into the air."Hector," she sighed, the name escaping like a fragment of a prayer.Theresa gasped a small breath of surprise against his lips, her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist, her thigh muscle

    Chapter 37Hector drove with fierce concentration, his white knuckles gripping the steering wheel. The facade of tranquility they had maintained on the beach crumbled as soon as they got into the car. Now, only the raw tension of the reality that awaited them remained."You need to go straight home," Hector said, his voice sounding strangely loud in the quiet environment of the car. "We're not going to the hospital, we're not going anywhere. Until I understand what's happening."Theresa turned her head to him, a pang of pain in her chest."But my father… I need to see him. I need to know how he is.""I know. And you will know. But not today. Today, your safety is the priority."The suggestion made Theresa shudder. She hadn't thought of it, but she agreed with a nod."And you? What are you going to do?""I'll take you home, make sure everything is safe. Then I have some things to take care of." I need to hear other versions of the story. The official police version and the real versio

    Chapter 36Theresa was speechless. The image of Johan, furious and violent, filled her mind. She looked at Hector and saw the same understanding in his eyes. This wasn't a random robbery. This was a message."Who... who did this?" Theresa asked, her voice trembling."The police don't know. There were no cameras," Albia stated.The air seemed to leave Theresa's lungs. She stammered, unable to form words.Hector, seeing her expression, extended his hand."Give me the phone."Theresa handed it to him, her hand trembling."Albia, it's Hector," her voice was calm. "What exactly is going on?"On the other end, Albia seemed to shrink back."Hector, hi... Look, I'm just repeating what I heard. The police still don't know who did this, but they have some suspects.""And who are their suspects?" Johan and you."And you believe that?" Hector's question was direct and dangerous."No! Of course not!" Albia exclaimed. "I know you're not like that. But... but people know you were angry with him. An

    Chapter 35He straightened slowly and helped her to her feet. Her legs were trembling. He grabbed a paper towel from the counter and wiped himself and her with a strange tenderness, a stark contrast to the fury of moments before.Theresa nodded, knowing it was a promise made against all odds. But at that moment, with his taste still in her mouth and his scent on her skin, she believed it."My God," Theresa gasped, her heart pounding wildly.Hector chuckled, a low, satisfied sound, and rolled to the side, pulling her against his body."Now that's an appetizer."She gave a laugh, a light, liberating sound that echoed in the kitchen. For a moment, the threat had receded.They stood up, straightened their clothes, and, with a newfound complicity, resumed preparing lunch. This time, their movements were synchronized, full of casual touches and secret smiles. Hector taught her how to make a simple yet perfect tomato sauce, his hands guiding hers over the tomatoes, his body brushing against
