2026-10-22 00:02:29— ICU? — I repeated, trying to control the nervousness that rose up my throat. — But why? I thought that… since I'm compatible…
She approached the armchair next to the bed, sitting down calmly. Her voice was firm, but there was a delicacy that I respected.— Alessandro, even in cases of high genetic compatibility, like yours, father and son, the closest p

— You can count on it. I hung up.I stayed for a few seconds staring at the car dashboard. Everything inside me was boiling. The urge was to disappear, but if I went home, I wasn't going to sleep. I was going to keep reliving everything a thousand times.I turned the key and started the car.If it was to occupy my head, then let it be by working.I drove off, leaving the hospital behind... and a piece of me too.The lights in the meeting room seemed stronger than normal. The laptop screen flickered in front of me, full of numbers and projections that I could barely focus on. The sound of voices discussing strategies, results and deadlines reached my ears muffled, as if Iwere underwater.— Mr. Alessandro? — one of the coordinators called me, noticing my silence. — Are you okay?I nodded slightly, trying to keep my posture. I needed to be there and keep everything running. Especially now, after everything. After almost losing her or almost losing them.Gabriel's words, the scene of the

But before I could complete any thought, Alessandro took a step forward. His face was closed, his eyes wet, and still there was contained anger, but cruel. As if he had taken a punch he expected, but couldn't bear.— Fine. — he said, his voice low and bitter. — I didn't expect anything else.I turned my face to him, tense, but he looked away. I saw his fists close, his shoulders tense. And then he turned his back and left, I only heard the door slam, dry, hard, cold and silence came like a wave.Gabriel shuddered slightly. And I, trying to contain everything that boiled inside me, sat on the edge of the bed and caressed his little face.— Shhh... it's okay, my love. Sleep, okay? Mommy's here.He squeezed my fingers with his, so small, so fragile. We stayed like that for a while. Until his eyes closed for good, his breathing slowed, and he finally slept.I let go of his hand carefully and adjusted the blanket. I got up slowly. Rafael had already pulled a chair next to the bed. He was q

I finished my shower and wrapped the towel around my body, already feeling the warm steam dissipate in the bathroom. I went to the bedroom and chose a light dress I liked to wear, noticing I had gained a little weight and sighed looking at myself in the mirror and then something caught my attention.There, sitting on the dresser, as if time hadn't passed, I saw my old perfume. The one I always used, before everything fell apart. I approached slowly, reaching out my hand like someone touching a memory. Maybe it was even expired by now, but I still picked up the bottle and brought it to my nose.The scent was still there. Familiar, sweet... and painful. My stomach sank immediately, as if that aroma pulled me back to a time when I still knew how to smile without effort. I took a deep breath, it was better than nothing.I sprayed a little on my neck and wrists, on autopilot, and that was when I heard the knock on the door. I got a little startled, but went to open it.It was Alessandro.H

The car drove along the silent road, but the sound of the engine seemed to scream in my ear. Diogo had stayed with Fernando, organizing the arrest of the henchmen and taking care of all the rest. I, for some reason I still don't fully understand, agreed to come with Alessandro.Maybe it was the tiredness or the relief. Maybe even I just wanted to get away from that place as fast as possible.And now we were here, with the suffocating silence between us. Until he spoke.— Larissa... — his voice came out low, kind of hesitant. — Did he hurt you? Enzo... while you were there... did he do anything to you?I looked out the window for a moment, took a deep breath and then shook my head.— No... not much. I'm okay. — I lied a little. At least physically.I saw from the corner of my eye his jaw lock. The muscle in his cheek moving, tense. But he said nothing.— It was risky — I said, almost in a whisper. — You coming after me. You had barely left the hospital...I hesitated, but continued:—

Enzo looked like a madman, his eyes lost and full of hate. Someone called my name and he turned in that direction. And that was my chance.I pulled the gun, fast enough while I screamed.— MATHEUS, GET DOWN!He dropped, and I fired.The shot hit Enzo in the belly, making him scream and try to shoot. But Alessandro was faster, emptying his gun in his direction. Enzo's body flew backward, stumbling with the impact until he fell to his knees on the ground, letting the gun drop, already out of strength, gasping for air with difficulty.— It's over — he said, panting, his face marked. — This is for you touching Larissa. Matheus threw himself to the side, staggering, and I ran to him, holding him tight.— Come on! Go!Enzo fell on his back, his eyes glazed, saying nothing more. The silence that came after was strange and suffocating.I felt my legs give out and Matheus collapsed beside me. And Alessandro... Alessandro ran to me, falling to his knees.— Are you okay? Are you okay? — he held

I helped Matheus sit down, putting his arm over my shoulders. He groaned in pain but didn't complain.— It's going to work — I whispered, more to myself than to him. — We're going to get out of here.— You should leave me, Larissa... I'll only slow you down. — his voice was weak but steady.— Stop, I'm not going to argue about this again. If I go, you go with me. He sighed and gave me a tired look but didn't insist.We left the cell carefully, leaning against the wall and trying to walk as silently as possible. The sun hadn't fully risen yet, but the sky was already starting to lighten. The shadows of the warehouse danced as if mocking our attempt to escape.Each step was slow, dragging. Matheus limped, his body weighed on mine, and I felt the tension of his muscles protesting. But I wasn't going to let go. I wasn't.We were almost at the back door when we heard the noise. Quick footsteps.— Damn. — I muttered, pulling Matheus harder. A thick voice sounded from behind the wall:— Hey!
