O arquirrival do meu tio salvou minha vida duas vezes. Na primeira, foi no mar — um naufrágio, ondas violentas. Ele surgiu pilotando um jet ski e me tirou da morte certa. Na segunda, eu fui enganada. Puseram algo na minha bebida. Desesperada, dormi com o homem dez anos mais velho do que eu, o lendário herdeiro de Solmaré, Lourenço Monteblanco. Depois daquela noite intensa, o antigo mulherengo finalmente sossegou, e passou a ser só meu. Ele registrava, uma vez após a outra, meu corpo entregue ao desejo. Meu rosto queimava de vergonha, mas por dentro eu sorria — embriagada pela doçura de ser amada. Até que, do fim do corredor, vieram vozes soltas e sujas... — Lourenço, você tá se divertindo até demais, hein? — Aliás, imagina o Gilberto Marques sabendo que a sobrinha dele tá sendo comida há três anos pelo inimigo dele?

In this world, to be a guardian means to know cruelty, dirt and pain. But love will endure everything. Even those that are not able to withstand the mind.
