After a few minutes, they arrive at an elegant jewelry store, its illuminated display windows sparkling with dozens of luxurious pieces. Henri gets out of the car without so much as glancing back and heads straight for the entrance. Already aware that he won't bother waiting for her, Catarina quickens her pace to catch up.Every second at his side feels like another silent humiliation, and she can feel herself reaching the limit of what she can endure. Even so, she keeps going. Deep down, she knows she's only putting up with all of this for his sake because she's certain her father will never allow him to walk away without taking responsibility for her.With the impeccable manners he always displays in public, Henri greets the salesman, who already knows why he's there.“Here are the wedding bands you selected, sir,” the man says, opening the small box in front of them.Catarina steps closer to take a look. The bands are simple—almost too simple—making it painfully obvious how little

The moment Henri realizes what Catarina is about to do, he takes a step toward her to stop her.But at that very instant, headlights slice through the darkness, drawing both of their attention.The bus traveling from the capital to the village is slowly approaching.That's when Catarina snaps out of her trance and returns to reality.She steps away from the bridge railing, walks to the side of the road, and raises her arm, signaling for the bus to stop.From a distance, the driver finds the situation suspicious, wondering if it might be a robbery. But as he gets closer, he recognizes the boss's son's car and gradually slows to a stop.Without even looking at Henri, Catarina walks to the door. As soon as the driver opens it, she asks politely,“Could you take me back to the village? He forgot something in the capital and needs to go back,” she explains, trying to sound convincing.The man studies her for a few seconds, still suspicious, but eventually nods.Catarina climbs aboard, walk

When Catarina gets home, she finds her parents sitting on the living room couch, talking. The moment they see her, they notice the distant look in their daughter's eyes.“Did something happen?” Damião asks, getting to his feet.“No, nothing happened,” she replies.“Then why didn't you come home for lunch?” he presses.“I wasn't hungry... Besides, I got caught up at the house and completely lost track of time.”“But did you eat anything, sweetheart?” her mother asks worriedly.“Yes, I ate. Don't worry.”“Sweetheart... we'll be leaving early tomorrow. The wedding is set for ten in the morning.”“All right,” she replies without meeting her father's eyes.“I'm going to take a shower and get some rest,” she says as she heads down the hallway.“Aren't you staying for dinner?” Andrea asks.“I'm not hungry,” Catarina answers before firmly closing the bathroom door.Once they're alone again, Andrea looks at her husband with concern.“Something isn't right, Damião.”“I know,” he replies, his ey

When Oliver pulls up in front of the house in the village, he parks haphazardly and jumps out of the car, gripped by a terrible feeling that sends ice through his veins.The silence surrounding the place only makes his uneasiness worse.Without a second thought, he marches to the front door and pounds on it, not caring if he wakes the neighbors.“Henri!” he shouts, his voice firm despite the anxiety tightening his chest. “Open this door right now!”He bangs on it again, even harder.No answer.Only the distant whisper of the wind and the soft rattling of a poorly latched window.Oliver takes a deep breath, feeling his heart pound harder with every passing second.The silence is becoming unbearable.Just as he's about to force the door open, it suddenly swings inward.Henri stands there in a perfectly tailored dark suit, though his damp hair makes it obvious he isn't completely ready.“What is it?” he asks irritably. “Couldn't you have waited another minute?”Surprised, Oliver lets out

The silence that follows is unmistakable.Caught off guard, the judge stands frozen for several seconds, unsure whether he heard her correctly.A hushed murmur spreads through the small room as every eye turns toward her.Henri is completely motionless.He stares at Catarina without blinking, shock written all over his face, mixed with disbelief and barely restrained anger.Behind them, Andrea raises a hand to her mouth, unable to hide her astonishment, while Damião clenches his fists, struggling to contain the fury surging through him.Catarina takes a deep breath.Her legs are trembling.But she keeps her head held high.She knows that from this moment on...Nothing will ever be the same.“Miss Alves,” the judge says at last, clearly flustered, “I don't know if you realize that something like this can invalidate the marriage.”“This isn't a joke,” Catarina interrupts firmly, even though fear churns inside her.The murmuring immediately dies away.Everyone watches her intently.Takin
