CHAPTER 44

HENRIQUE WAS NOT BELIEVING in what he saw.

Two years?

Either he was imagining things – which was not difficult, after having smoked the weed so much –, or daydreaming about having two women of his dreams, a terrible nightmare, since this new Ana had a cold, calculating and totally diabolical look , that girl could be anything she wanted in life, but that look without a doubt was not Ana's look.

–– How is it to know that your romance with me and my dearest sister was all a scam?

–– Me...

–– I know what exactly you are thinking – she said, interrupting him sharply - "But everything was a farce from the beginning, my sister was very well paid to go out with you, and so did I.

–– Actually – she whispered in her ear – I'm the girl I had sex with all this time, I make hot love don't you think? Ana just likes to kiss, but I...

Carol walked around him, pretending obscene caresses, trying to get something out of her grandfather, but Henrique insisted on denying knowing anything.

–– I know everything about you, Andrius Colmenaghes de Rillencourt IV, Ana listened when she told you about her life, you can fool that stupid policeman and everyone, but I, you are not mistaken, or you start to open your beak or both will pay dear for trying to make me an idiot.

Carol Bastos took a tennis racket and gave it to her on the back.

He howled in pain.

–– I liked that – said Carol sarcastically – I'm going to test it on my sister too.

Henrique hesitated until the last moment, in that moment he realized that he still desperately loved Ana, and that it was impossible to pretend that he didn't care if something happened to her.

–– No!!! Do what you want with me, but leave her alone.

Carol slowly returned to Henrique, stroking her racket like a pet and hit him again, this time on his left arm.

Henrique tried in vain to hold back the tears, but it was almost impossible, the pain burned all over his body.

Ana woke up to Henrique's screams, in a matter of seconds, she was also terrified, she didn't know if she had worked out her plan, but in this case, both of them would be spending their last moments together.

Carol was beating him mercilessly and mercilessly when she heard a shot.

–– Stop !!! Raise your hands and don't make any sudden movements, otherwise I'll shoot.

Sandro had been in the dark for a few minutes, he had intercepted Ana's call to Bernardo and had come as soon as possible, luckily, he wasn't far from the place.

The police team had detained Carol's security guards and parents.

Sandro wanted to personally arrest her.

As soon as Sandro handcuffed Carol Bastos, he went to assist Henrique and Ana.

Henrique looked as if he had been hit by a train, five teeth were missing from his mouth, in addition to numerous abrasions. Ana in turn was in complete shock.

–– Are you alright? – Asked Henrique.

Ana was completely paralyzed by the terror she had experienced, in addition to the nightmare of being about to lose the great love of her life.

Henrique hugged her and they were both silent for a few minutes, some first aid workers waited patiently for that moment to pass, before being attended to.

–– I... – said Ana trying to say something.

–– I know, dear, be at peace.

Henrique was seen and then released to Sandro's custody.
