Os três irmãos Ribeiro, que sempre me trataram como a coisa mais preciosa de suas vidas, desapareceram justo quando eu estava sofrendo com um tumor cerebral maligno. A cirurgia poderia me causar amnésia, e eu não queria esquecê-los, por isso liguei pedindo ajuda. Mas, assim que atenderam, recebi uma enxurrada de repreensões: — Inácia Lima, hoje é aniversário da Paula Sousa, você pode parar de causar problemas? A dor me fez desmaiar. Quando acordei no hospital, vi uma mensagem que Paula havia me enviado. "Inácia, os irmãos me deram três amuletos da sorte para me proteger." Na foto, estavam os amuletos que eu mesma havia conseguido para os três, ajoelhada por sete horas na chuva, fazendo reverências a cada passo. Eu finalmente perdi todas as esperanças. Fui sozinha para o exterior fazer a cirurgia e esquecê-los. Até que, um dia, vi três homens estranhos ajoelhados na porta da minha casa, implorando desesperadamente pelo meu perdão.

No terceiro ano do meu casamento com Leonardo Carvalho, recebi de repente um vídeo enviado por Cristiane Carvalho, irmã adotiva dele. Quando abri, vi Leonardo usando a gravata que eu havia acabado de lhe dar para amarrar a própria irmã adotiva na cabeceira da cama. Ela estava completamente nua sob o corpo dele, gemendo sem parar e chamando-o de "meu amor". Depois, os dois ficaram abraçados, colados um ao outro. Cristiane, manhosa, enroscou os braços no pescoço dele e reclamou: — Mano, aquele anel que você me deu, eu não gostei. Leva de volta e dá para a sua esposa. Diz que é presente de aniversário da irmãzinha, tá? No dia seguinte, eu me sentei sozinha em um restaurante elegante. Fiquei encarando a cadeira vazia à minha frente, perdida em pensamentos. De repente, o assistente apareceu empurrando um bolo enorme na minha direção. — O Chefão teve um imprevisto e me mandou entregar seu presente de aniversário. Dentro da caixa estava justamente o anel que a irmã adotiva dele havia recusado. Logo depois, novas fotos chegaram ao meu celular. Leonardo estava no hospital acompanhando Cristiane, dedicado como um marido perfeito. Eu não chorei. Não fiz escândalo. Apenas assinei calmamente os papéis do divórcio e pedi que começassem a preparar um casamento. — Senhora, em nome dos noivos... Quem devo colocar? — Leonardo e Cristiane. Sete dias depois, eu faria o mundo inteiro ver o quanto o reservado e inflexível Padrinho sabia se divertir quando estava sozinho com a própria irmã.
