Benjamim made his way home, thinking about how he would tell Antonella that he would spend the night at the hospital with Helen. She would never accept such a thing—Antonella wasn’t that understanding.

What was the point of risking his marriage just to help Helen? Since when has he become so soft-hearted?

But the memories Benjamim had of Helen’s mother were still vivid in his mind. For a long time, she had acted better toward him than his mother, Carlota. It was that woman who helped him become the successful businessman he is today. Helen’s mother had taught him everything he knew.

He owed her this. Would Antonella understand? He parked the car in front of the house and leaned his head back. Antonella wouldn’t understand or accept it, and she had every reason not to.

    There was no excitement from Antonella upon hearing the lawyer. To her, it didn’t matter who Adam would be with or who would have more control over his life. Now she was married to Benjamim; they were a family. She could see her son every day; Benjamim loved her, and nothing could separate them.But Benjamim was engaged in the conversation and seemed excited about the possibility of returning custody of his son to his mother. Perhaps he didn’t understand that now, married to Antonella, it didn’t matter who had more responsibility, but Benjamim had made a promise, and he intended to keep it.“The judge has scheduled a new hearing for fifteen days from now,” the lawyer said, handing the document to Antonella. “Be prepared, Antonella.”She said nothing; she just smiled and watched him leave, but Benjamim noticed her behavior, and as they walked upstairs, he questioned her.“You don’t seem excited about getting Adam’s custody back,” he observed, and she didn’t look into his eyes.“Adam is

    Suddenly, there was silence, as if everyone at the table had been impacted by the news. Then, all eyes turned to Enrico, who, lowering his gaze, became pensive. Everyone knew that Alessia would be arrested; Enrico himself had expected it, but the reaction was inevitable. It was as if everything were over, and all his efforts to be a good father were thrown in the trash.Antonella, noticing that Enrico had become too quiet, hurried toward him, only to be stopped by his harsh, loud voice.“Don’t worry about me, Antonella,” he finally said, casting a glance at her. “I let Alessia ruin our dinner; I won’t let her ruin this lunch too. We’ll continue eating.”She paused, looking at him, as he filled his spoon with food and put it in his mouth, chewing, chewing, and no matter how hard Enrico tried, the grim look wouldn’t leave his face.She could imagine how much he was suffering, but she did as he asked. Not only that, but she sat back down beside her husband and finished her meal. But the

    “Where are we going, Daddy?” Adam asked as Benjamim fastened his seatbelt, with him sitting in the back seat.“To a place you love very much,” he said, then looked into the boy’s eyes and smiled. “Mommy is very eager to see you.”But that didn’t satisfy Adam’s boundless curiosity, and he spent the entire ride asking questions. Benjamim held back as much as he could to keep from spoiling the surprise, but as soon as the car turned onto the dirt road, Adam’s eyes widened, and with a smile, he said he knew where they were headed.They were going to Aunt Carmella’s house.It was enchanting to see how Adam behaved on the farm. He even seemed happier when he was there. It had been a long time since Benjamim had seen such a genuine smile on the boy’s face.He remembered the previous night and the emptiness he felt without Antonella by his side. It took him a long time to fall asleep. It was like a gray and silent night without her company. They texted, and he talked to her for a while. Somet

    A sharp look made Benjamim pull Helen away so quickly that she almost stumbled out of the house. Benjamim’s heart pounded uncontrollably in his chest. What could he say to Antonella? Or worse, what could Antonella be thinking at that very moment?When Helen turned her head, she finally understood the sudden reason for Benjamim’s rejection. She immediately moved closer to Antonella to apologize for the giant misunderstanding.“This was all my fault.” Her voice was shaky, and her tear-filled eyes didn’t sway Antonella. There was something about this woman that Antonella detested, though she couldn’t say exactly what it was. “I showed up unannounced and hugged him. Forgive me, Antonella.”The look grew even sharper, this time directed at Helen.Antonella swallowed her anger as she walked past the woman, who, despite appearing fragile, remained impeccably beautiful. She tried not to notice, so as not to feel like a complete failure herself. All she wanted was to go upstairs, grab some bel

    Enrico refused to return to Benjamim’s house. He preferred to remain there, with the TV tuned to the news channel, to see if Alessia would get arrested and tarnish the family’s reputation.“I need to stop Carlota from running too,” Benjamim said to Antonella, while she shared her intention to stay there with her father.“I’m so sorry for everything that’s happening.” Antonella wrapped him in her embrace, resting her head on his chest.Benjamim breathed in the sweet scent of her hair and, closing his eyes, said softly, “It wasn’t your fault.”Then they said goodbye. She sat on the couch next to Enrico and kept watching the news, waiting for any mention of Alessia’s arrest. After a few minutes, Inspector Vladir returned to Enrico’s house and questioned him again.Soon, everyone would know it was the father who turned his daughter in to the police. Now, Alessia was a fugitive from justice, accused of murder.Benjamim’s eyes turned dull when he arrived home and saw that Carlota was gone.
