FRIGIDITY, NIGHTMARES AND FEAR!Tulio left the care center two days later and to the relief of Cloe, his grandmother and her partners, he was fine.Layla didn't leave her grandson's side, bringing him yummy food twice a day, plus affection and a good dash of drama.“ Your parents must be turning in their graves, yarn, they must hate me for not taking good care of you!” She started the drama as soon as she saw him. And as always, Tulio hugged her and kissed her.“ They must be very proud of you, and there is no one who could hate you, Grandma, is there, Cloe?”Cloe joined in the hug and agreed, saying that everyone loved her.The days that Tulio stayed in treatment were tense for the girl. She had nightmares that woke her up in the middle of the night and she began to sleep with the lights on, because when she was attacked by nightmares she was absolutely sure that Cloe, or Ruben, was in her room watching her sleep and smiling in the dark. She would wake up soaked with sweat and tears

THE BANDITCloe looked nothing like the girl four years ago, nothing like the girl who joined Tulio's gang years ago. The change had been radical, and not only in her hair - at the moment it was blue, but she had changed colors so much that those who had known her for the last four years did not even know what her original color had been - but her clothes had also changed. She was no longer the insipid and timid girl who jumped at every crack of gunfire she heard, no longer the shy girl who thought before she spoke.She was addicted to exercise and ran every morning for miles to maintain her physique, she felt safer about being attacked, she acquired much more confidence now, and it wasn't only because she had more companions now, she had her own retinue of helpers, but her self-esteem had improved a lot after the mishaps she had gone through to get there.Her change obviously brought a burden to her relationship with Tulio, and it couldn't be otherwise. She loved him and felt loved b

A DIFFERENT WOMANTulio and Cloe tried not to distance themselves, each of them now had their own business, the mafia was not for those who wanted to have a quiet life. Leading so many people, taking care of so many others, obviously took its toll on their relationship. The love was the same and even seemed to increase more and more, but as he himself had once said, love alone was not enough, and it was true.She saw him looking at her when she thought she didn't notice, and the same was true for her. She liked to watch him sleep, during insomnia, her most cruel friend since Ruben's attack; sometimes she didn't even try to sleep, for fear of the nightmares that haunted her in the dream world.“ Who is Calo?” One night when she tried to sleep, she woke up with Tulio looking into her eyes very closely. She had shouted the name of the scoundrel who had raped her, and in the nightmare she called him by the name he had introduced himself to her. The nightmares were almost always the same.

MAJOR NEGOTIATIONSCloe felt strange that she was no longer sharing anything with her love. But she preferred it this way, she was no longer the innocent little girl he had known, no longer a fearful and scared little girl, Milla had said she was thick"skinned and it was true, because she, besides not sharing everything with him, not even her feelings she shared with him anymore. They were his alone. Before, she could barely stand to share anything with him, anything that happened, how much she missed her parents and her brother. Peter was now eighteen and to protect him, she didn't even have him on her social networks. Getting involved with dangerous "heavy" people, as her mother used to say, and why would she want her brother by her side, knowing about her life now, since she was no longer his delicate and calm older sister? She had lost count of how many friend requests she had received from her brother, often ignoring names and Nicks that she knew were his. That old life was behin

REMINDSEven though the idea she gave at the meeting was the best and everyone, after she left them, decided to put it into practice, Tulio was deeply annoyed with her.“ Boss, the idea is good and we should carry it out," said Gringo. “ We have at least three who come to mind now who could stand in Kobe's place and take the blame.”“ Do you think this might be possible, Valdo?” Tulio asked the lawyer.“ Yes, it is quite possible if you have someone to take the blame in his place. Everything would have to be done as quickly as possible, before the next hearing I have with the prosecutor.”And everything was settled. Tulio asked his men to make a survey and see who could come forward as soon as possible.He went to his house on his motorcycle, he loved to accelerate to the maximum when he had so many things on his mind as he did now. He went straight past his house, got on a highway and rode for more than two hours, until his body was exhausted and his ass was stiff. He didn't go home

IMPULSIVE WORDSHe told Shay that everything was fine, that he would do it for any friend."You know I stand up for my own, right?" he said as she pulled away from him with teary eyes."I know that, Boy, but, you know, I know my dad has this problem, we fight a lot because of it, but he...my dad is all I have. That's why I'm so grateful to you."Shay left, wiping her eyes, and Túlio went to the small room in his grandmother's house. After lying down, he thought not only about what the girl had said about her father being all she had, but also about the resemblance she had to Cloe. His old Cloe. This disturbed him, and before he knew it, he was grabbing his helmet and going to talk to Fat.This time the man took a while to answer. He was busy in his office and Túlio was playing ball with his grandchildren in the backyard until he was called by Estela, Fat's wife, who, unlike her husband, was immense. Her weight burdened her and she looked like a duck, waddling to the backyard and calli

NOSTALGIA"Tulio left his house again and went back to the hotel. He didn't want to go to his grandmother's house again, he wasn't in the mood to hear the whining and sermon that she would surely give him for being there again. He was riding his bike down the street and ran into Shay. He stopped the bike.'Where are you going?' he asked, pulling up next to her. Again, she reminded him of the old Cloe, he saw sweetness in her eyes.'Just taking a walk, it's too hot to sleep,' she replied with a smile. 'And you, where are you going at this hour?''Just getting some fresh air, nothing special. Actually, I was heading to a hotel where I spent last night.'Shay was then sure that he and Cloe weren't doing well, since he was going to sleep in a hotel.'Do you want to talk a little?' she asked, being careful not to show her anxiety and desire for him to say yes. 'We can go to my house, have a coffee or something stronger, and then you can go to the hotel.'She wanted to make it clear that sh

CHAOS"Before doing something he would regret later, Túlio got up from Shay's couch and left without even saying goodbye, leaving her bewildered. He couldn't go to the hotel he stayed the night before because he had overdone it with beer. He decided to face his grandmother instead.Even when turning off his motorcycle at the gate, he saw her turning on the outside light. As he leaned the motorcycle against the wall, she started speaking:"I can't believe you're coming here at this hour! Look, I'm not going to live much longer, in fact, I'm going to die soon because you're accelerating my death..."She kept talking while he undressed and entered the bathroom. She continued talking while he took a shower and even when he lay down in his little room in her backyard."Maybe I'll die well before you, grandma," he blurted out with his eyes already closed, knowing that if he said that, she would fall silent, and that's what happened."What are you trying to say?" she pushed him to sit on the
