LESSONS AND PRACTICESCloe couldn't get what she had heard out of her head. She knew she had made a decision to stay with Tulio, she loved him and couldn't imagine living away from him, but the mafia scared her. Paco and Jânio scared her and as long as she lived she would never forget the torment and tension she suffered inside Paco's office. And as much as Tulio would not share his life of crime with her, because that was how his life was. He was a criminal. She heard his conversations with Sopapo and Gringo, she knew he had killed people and would kill more, as much as he was a criminal, she felt his hand squeezing hers when Jânio had entered Paco's office. He was afraid. Gringo was too, so much so that he had told her to say nothing, to be quiet and not to interfere." What are you so thoughtful about? " Milla was sitting at the kitchen table with Ant biting the fingers of her hand." So many things, Milla, I've been thinking about so many things.” she sat down facing her friend.

VERDICTThe days passed with Cloe becoming more cautious and understanding a little more about Tulio's way of life. She knew that the pressure on him was great and that she should be careful how she acted and that he was no ordinary boyfriend like most, and that she should know her limits when referring to his choices as a gang leader, it was no joke, she couldn't get carried away by emotion.“ I'm sorry, Milla, I never imagined I would cause you problems," she apologized to her friend the next day.“ You will adapt, rest assured.” Milla placed a hand on her shoulder in a gesture that everything was fine, smiled affectionately at her. Cloe realized that she did not want to extend the subject and respected it. She feared that it would cause her even more trouble if she insisted on talking about Tulio's punishment of her friend, the aggressiveness with which he had treated her for something she had asked for. She was amazed to see that Milla would accept with her head down Tulio's punis

RETAILCloe stood all the time at Layla's gate waiting for Tulio's return.“My dear, imagine how my life has been since that boy was twelve years old!” Layla approached her at the gate, she put her hand on the young woman's shoulder, sympathetic, she understood Cloe's concern, for the girl loved her grandson as much as she did. “My grandson is like my son, and children, it's like having your heart beating outside your chest constantly, even more so with the life he has.”Cloe nodded in agreement, she imagined how easy it must not be for his grandmotherly lady.When she saw his motorcycle going up to her house and he not having warned her that he was coming, she kissed Layla on the cheek and walked up the street to her house. She was almost home when a black van sped past her, the dark windows not allowing her to see who was inside. Further ahead a thug got down from the front and opened the sliding door of the van and Sopapo, Cannibal and Gringo got out. A black sack covered the heads

A GOOD DOCTOR“You will have to go to Doctor Zaquim.” said Tulio to Cloe as they got out in front of Layla's house. Cloe was worried about his silence in the van during the trip.She could feel the throbbing on her forehead and the burning, but she didn't want to complain, since she wasn't the only one wounded at the end of the insane fight and didn't want to show weakness, but when she heard him say so, she put an index finger, also sore from the burn from earlier, on her temple and saw that besides a deep cut, a bump was beginning to grow. She nodded in agreement with him and entered the house of the old lady who came quickly to help them with concern.“My God, yarn what have you done? It's not enough for you to get involved in fights, you also have to drag the girl into it?!” Layla pulled Cloe into the backyard, where there were pots of potions with strong smells, pastes of dubious appearances, Cloe noticed that Tulio had been upset by her grandmother's comment. “Sit down there, y

RULES ARE RULESThe quiet days soon gave way to darker ones. One minute things were going well, and the next they were going badly. That's what Cloe thought about what it was like to live life in the mafia. Like what Milla was telling her:“It was Shay who poisoned me against you the first time I saw you, you know?” “No, I didn't know," answered Cloe, with full attention on her friend now. They were at Milla's house and were planting some seedlings that Layla had given to the girl. Cloe had promised to help her create a garden in her house, and was helping her with this, since she had returned from her hometown and had not yet decided whether she would stay there for good.“ Didn't you see at the farewell party for Gringo and me the way she looked at you while learning the dance steps?”“ No, I greeted her, but I didn't see her again during the party. I thought she was harsh with me, but I couldn't figure out why.”She hates you, Cloe, she envies you!”“ You can't be serious!” Cloe

WICKEDNESSDoctor Zaquim was already treating Tulio, but Clara as she entered the office and saw him lying unconscious on the stretcher, the crimson of his blood soaking the paper where he was lying, fainted.Gringo and Milla accompanied her there and were her support, one on each side so she wouldn't fall.“ Tulio…” " she moaned, her legs weakened and her friends supported her, making her sit up.She was so close to him, just a few steps away, but she couldn't reach him. Gringo was holding her tight.“ Let them take care of him," Gringo asked softly.”Flora, the nurse and wife of Dr. Zaquim, was taking care of Tulio. Cloe looked at him lying there unconscious without believing that the strong and imposing man was so fragile and at the mercy of two pairs of hands that were poking him, turning him on his side, helping him, and trying to help him.Flora spoke to the doctor in their language, and few things could be understood. The nurse followed what the doctor told her to do, and with

FIRE! Gringo arrived at the cottage with the tires of the pickup truck they had used to get there lifting gravel on the ground and didn't even turn it off as he ran down. He went back to the truck and gave an order to the three guys he had taken. - I want you to get away from here, go into the woods, walk around, but don't stay around for at least an hour! - And when one of them made mention of saying something, the three of them couldn't understand how he could want to be alone with Calo, he made a hateful face that scared them. - Go! Pulling the thirty-eight from his waistband, he didn't even hit the door, with a kick to the middle of the wood, he yanked it off the jamb, one more kick and the door was on the floor. I was going to go upstairs, but Ruben came naked down the stairs, startled by being found and the noise. A sheet tied around his waist and the shot to the knee made him scream and fall. Gringo came to her with blood in his eyes, his teeth grinding, his jaw clenched. The

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
