chapter 71

—So, I found Lidia... She healed some wounds I didn’t even know I had. He paused for a second, took a deep breath, and continued. —She made me love again, Beck.I stayed silent, digesting the weight of his words. He watched me as if expecting an immediate response, but I didn’t know what to say.—And now, look... Here I am, pouring everything out, and you’re just sitting there, not saying a single word.—You throw all this at me, Dylan, and what do you expect me to say?He looked at me with a slight expression of frustration, as if expecting me to understand something he wasn’t able to explain.—Anything. Tell me you hate me, but say something.I looked at the empty bottle and noticed he had drunk more than he was used to.—Come on, I’ll take you home. I paid the bill and helped him stand up. He was living alone now, and I noticed he could barely stay on his feet.We walked together, slowly, to his front door. As we entered, he looked at the stairs with a nostalgic gaze.—Remember whe

chapter 72

The dawn brought with it a heavy feeling. I got up, did my morning routine, and when I opened the bedroom door, I found a bouquet of red roses and a note among them. I picked it up, surprised, and read the handwritten words: "Forgive me, baby."I sighed, feeling a mix of relief and sadness. I went back to the room, placed the bouquet on the nightstand, and went downstairs to the kitchen in search of coffee to start the day. When I got there, I poured myself a cup and sat at the counter, recalling our heated argument from the night before. Bryan and I had fought, and the reason? Jealousy.As I took a sip of coffee, I felt his perfume approaching and his presence behind me.—Can we talk, baby? he asked softly.I nodded without looking directly at him. He sat in front of me, looking nervous.—I want to start by apologizing for being a complete idiot, Bryan said, but I remained silent, focused on my coffee.He continued, trying to break the wall of silence I had built.—I lost my head, we

chapter 73

We returned to the park, where I found Verônica’s phone lying on the ground. Driven by curiosity, I opened the gallery. There, I saw several photos: some of Bryan, others of Theo, and, to my surprise, even one of me. Nothing out of the ordinary beyond the photos, but I felt uneasy. What did she want with all this?Dylan suddenly appeared and reached out his hand.—Give it to me. I’ll take this to check.—What were you doing here?—It’s a long story...—I have time.He hesitated for a second, but before he could continue, Bryan approached, visibly surprised.—What are you doing here, Dylan?Little Theo ran to hug Dylan, beaming.—Uncle Dylan, you came too!—No, it was a coincidence, I’m just passing by.—A good coincidence, Bryan said, casting a suspicious glance at Dylan and then at me.—I need to go, Beck. If I find out anything, I’ll call you.He said goodbye to Theo and left. Bryan stayed by my side, trying to hide his discomfort.—Where did you go? We were looking for you.—I went

chapter 74

Beck and her father walk through the woods, the sound of footsteps on the dry ground echoing between them. After a few minutes, her father stops, and Beck, without meaning to, lets out a nervous sigh. He notices, with his experienced gaze, that something is bothering his daughter.—(placing his hand on her shoulder) What she said to you got to you, didn’t it?—(shaking her head) No, Dad, I’m fine.—(looking at her intently) Daughter, I know you. I know when something affects you.Beck avoids her father’s gaze, fiddling with the sleeves of her jacket. He sighs, with an air of understanding, but his tone is firm.—I know your personal life is your own, but I want to advise you not to have doubts about your feelings. That way, you avoid someone getting hurt.Beck nods, recognizing the wisdom in his words.—So... what will we do with Verônica? She made it clear she wants you on her side.—(frowning) I don’t trust her, Dad. I want to make her talk. But torture won’t help... maybe we can fi

chapter 75

Beck entered the office silently. The garden outside seemed to be the only thing receiving Bryan’s attention, who was turned away, observing the plants illuminated by the night lights. Beck hugged him from behind, nestling into his body and breaking the silence.—What are you doing here?—I preferred to stay away from the irritating presence of your little friend.—But what about our dinner?She tried to distract him, to ease the tension.—Didn’t you prepare dinner for me?He turned to her, letting a half-smile escape.—Okay, then let’s go.They left the office hand in hand, and Beck called out to the others.—Theo and Dylan, come eat dinner!They sat at the set table. Bryan pulled out the chair for Beck, who settled in with a grateful look. Theo soon sat beside her, while Dylan settled across from her.—Did you know, Mom, that Dad wanted to make your favorite dish? He even called Grandma!Beck looked at Bryan, surprised.—Really, love? You did that for me?—Yes.—I really hope it’s g

chapter 76

The day dawns silently at my parents' house. Everyone is still asleep when I go downstairs to the kitchen, seeking a little peace before the routine begins. I pour myself a cup of coffee and enjoy the silence until I decide to leave the house to clear my mind a bit. As I open the door, I see Diego arriving.Diego looks at me with a surprised expression.—Did you sleep here? he asks, frowning.I confirm with a nod. —Yes.He looks around, as if searching for someone. —And where are Theo and your husband?I give a half-smile, trying to hide the pain. —It’s a long story, Diego.He looks at me more intently, concerned. —Do you want to talk?I shake my head. —Better not. I pause and continue. —But can I ask you something?He nods without hesitation.—Don’t tell my parents I was here. I don’t want them to worry.Diego studies me for a moment but ends up agreeing. —Alright.I thank him with a look and get into the car. I drive straight to the place where Verônica is being held. Upon entering

chapter 77

I take a deep breath, my heart beating faster as I park the car. I feel a growing tension in my chest, but I gather my courage. I get out of the car and, with firm steps, enter the house. The silence of the house seems to swallow me, but soon I hear the sound of footsteps. When Bryan appears, he looks at me, concern etched on his face.—Baby, how are you?—We need to talk.—I know, baby.—No, no. You won’t say anything. I have something to say.I look at him, trying to gather my words. The situation is harder than I imagined, but I can’t delay it any longer.—Is Theo at home?—No, I took him to school.—Bryan, I want to apologize for yesterday.Bryan seems confused but remains silent, waiting for me to continue.—I was wrong to bring Dylan without telling you. Everything we’ve done in these last few days is just fighting and disagreeing.I pause, feeling the weight of my words. He stays silent, waiting.—Bryan, I didn’t get married to live like this. I love you, and the last thing I w

chapter 78

In the cozy restaurant, where the warm yellow lights created a welcoming atmosphere, Dylan pulled out the chair for Beck, who sat down gratefully. The place was special to her, and the coincidence of always ending up at that table made her feel at home. As soon as they placed their orders, the waiter stepped away, leaving the couple in tense silence.Dylan took the initiative:—What happened that day left me very worried, Beck.Beck stared at him, her heart heavy.—And me too, Dylan.He placed his hand over hers with a somber look.—I could have lost you.Beck sighed, pulling her hand from under his.—Dylan, you promised you wouldn’t provoke Bryan, but you never keep your promises, do you?He defended himself:—I was going to let it go, but he brought up a subject that still hurts me... me and Lidia.—I freaked out thinking you might shoot him! Beck murmured, holding her own hands to contain her anger. —And why are you carrying a gun without telling me anything?Dylan looked away befo

chapter 79

The tension in the waiting room was palpable, and anxiety was eating away at my patience. Lidia, my friend and colleague, tried to calm me down with her soft but firm tone.—Friend, calm down... they’re taking care of him.—I can’t... I need to know how he is.Ignoring common sense, I left Dr. Fernando’s room, drawing surprised looks from everyone in the reception area. Lidia was quick, taking control of the situation and dispersing the general curiosity.—Move along, people! There’s nothing to see here! She shot a reproachful look at the most curious onlookers.Turning to me, she tried another approach.—Here’s what we’ll do: you stay here, and I’ll go check on Igor.Resigned, I nodded and sat down in an armchair. My hands were shaking, and the wait seemed unbearable. After a few minutes, Lidia returned with my bag in hand.—Here are your things.—And Igor? How is he?—they took him to the operating room.—Why?—they didn’t tell me anything specific... she replied, visibly worried. —

chapter 80

Beck entered the house exhausted but with a restless mind. It had been an intense night, and all she wanted was to be there and not have to explain anything. Fortunately, Bryan didn’t ask many questions. She watched as he went upstairs, and when he went to sleep, she went to the office, where she spent the night awake, trying to come up with a plan to find the person responsible for everything.Her thoughts, however, kept intermittently returning to Igor. What Verônica had said left her with a hint of doubt, but she knew Bryan would never do anything to hurt her—even if he didn’t like Igor or Dylan. Beck took a deep breath, trying to focus. But the image of Igor, injured, kept coming back to her mind over and over.With the dawn, she didn’t even notice the time passing until the office door opened and Bryan appeared, holding a cup.—Baby, is everything okay?—Yes.He placed the cup on the table, looking at her carefully.—Beck, I know you. Since yesterday, I’ve noticed you’re not okay
