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?

Dos dez aos dezoito anos, meus pais me obrigaram a escrever duzentas e noventa e nove dívidas. Cada centavo que eu pedia a eles era considerado um empréstimo — algo que eu teria que pagar quando me tornasse adulta. Até que sofri um acidente de carro... Na hora de pagar a cirurgia, ainda me faltavam três mil no cartão. Sem saída, fui implorar ajuda aos meus pais. Mas eles apenas sorriram friamente: — Júlia Monforte, você já tem dezoito anos. Não temos mais obrigação nenhuma com você. Escreva uma nova dívida! Com lágrimas nos olhos, escrevi minha tricentésima dívida. Após a cirurgia, abri o Instagram e me deparei com uma publicação da minha irmã adotiva. Na foto, ela estava em um cruzeiro internacional, celebrando seu aniversário de dezoito anos como uma princesa, cercada de gente a bajulando. O presente dos meus pais para ela? Um apartamento de alto padrão no centro de São Paulo... e a chave de um Maserati. Até meu amigo de infância... olhava para ela com olhos cheios de amor. Ela agradecia: "Obrigada às pessoas que eu mais amo, por me darem o melhor que eu poderia ter." E eu, segurando aquela dívida toda amassada nas mãos, simplesmente sorri. Depois que eu quitar essa dívida... uma coisa é certa — não preciso mais de uma família assim.

Victor Santos ingeriu acidentalmente um novo tipo de alucinógeno e seu estado era crítico. Como médica da família, fui forçada a me tornar o antídoto.
