Em Vale Central, Felipe Fagundes e eu éramos o casal mais comentado, e mais hostil da cidade. Ele me desprezava, dizia que eu não tinha pudor e que usei todos os meios para forçar um casamento com ele. Eu o odiava. Noite após noite, ele se continha por Mônica Pimentel, reservando toda a frieza possível para mim. Durante oito anos de casamento, a frase que ele mais repetiu foi para eu sumir da vida dele. Quando a enchente chegou, Felipe, sempre tão cruel nas palavras, abriu mão do último lugar no bote salva-vidas e o deixou para mim. Ele gritou para mim: — Não olhe para trás, vá logo! — Natália Júnior, eu não te devo mais nada. Na próxima vida, só quero ficar com a Mônica. Eu quis voltar para salvar ele, mas fui impedida. No fim, só pude ver ele ser engolido pela enchente. A equipe de resgate chegou tarde demais. O corpo dele, já em decomposição, ainda segurava com força o medalhão de jade da Mônica, impossível de tirar das mãos dele. Depois disso, vendi todos os meus bens, doei tudo para a região atingida pelo desastre e me joguei do alto de um prédio para seguir ele na morte. Quando abri os olhos novamente, tinha voltado para a noite em que Felipe foi drogado.

Seis anos depois de ter sido expulsa da família rica sob a acusação de ser uma falsa herdeira, eu sobrevivia vendendo sangue. Assim que peguei o dinheiro e me preparava para entrar em contato com o médico para conseguir meus remédios, a parte de trás do meu joelho foi violentamente chutada por um guarda-costas. Ao mesmo tempo em que os meus joelhos bateram no chão, ouvi uma senhora da alta sociedade gritar descontroladamente. — O que você ainda está fazendo aqui? Ainda quer matar a minha Patrícia? Com um forte tapa no meu rosto, finalmente consegui enxergar que, diante de mim, estava a minha mãe, Helena, à procura de doadores de sangue para Patrícia. Ao lado, Sullivan observava a minha mãe em prantos e imediatamente ordenou que os guarda-costas me jogassem para fora. Ele me olhou de cima a baixo, encarando o dinheiro nas minhas mãos, e soltou um riso frio. — Parece que esses anos não suavizaram o seu temperamento. Por meras centenas de reais, você até vende sangue. — Em quinze dias, Patrícia vai se formar e viajar para o exterior para aprofundar os estudos, e você não poderá mais maltratá-la. — Até lá, explicarei a situação aos nossos pais e te levarei de volta para casa. Você continuará sendo a princesa da família. — Voltar para casa?... Princesa?... Eu murmurei para mim mesma e, por fim, balancei a cabeça e ri em voz alta. A progressão da esclerose lateral amiotrófica era rápida demais. Eu não conseguiria aguentar nem um mês. Além disso, desde o momento em que ele deliberadamente me acusou de ser uma herdeira falsa por causa de Patrícia, eu já não tinha mais uma casa.

No dia do meu casamento, meus pais chegaram em casa com o meu noivo e uma decisão que partiu meu mundo ao meio: a noiva seria outra. — Sua irmã está morrendo. O último desejo dela é se casar com Otávio. — Disseram, com a voz firme de quem já decidiu. — Você é a irmã mais nova. Seja generosa. Faça esse sacrifício por ela. Otávio, o homem que eu amava, olhou nos meus olhos e disse com uma calma gelada: — É só um casamento simbólico. Quando ela partir, nós oficializamos o nosso. Eu disse não. E por isso, me prenderam. Com cordas e promessas vazias. — Depois da cerimônia, vamos te soltar. — Garantiram. Mas a cerimônia aconteceu. E, enquanto eles celebravam o que chamaram de amor, um estranho entrou pela porta da frente. E me matou. Sem piedade. Quando finalmente lembraram de mim, encontraram apenas o silêncio da casa e o meu corpo, já sem vida, tomado pelo tempo.
