CHAPTER 98

NEMESIS DIARY

The bastard ALMOST KILLED HER that day for no reason, after all, if she cheated on him it's because he's been cheating on her for a long time, mainly for a reason as futile as his career.

If I hadn't been there, without a doubt I would have killed her, but I'm guilty of her carrying such a burden, after all, if I had killed her everything would have ended there, now she's sterile, I say that because the child's father was a murderer.

Estefânia invested in me, sponsored my studies and gave me everything she couldn't give her son.

But I went further.

I started my research and discovered interesting things, such as the case of Gabriel and Jean, who coincidentally was the real father of Estefânia's child.

EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT for that night and the bastard was going to die the same way he'd killed his old partner.

The plan was right, but Jean was smarter than I thought.

— It may appear — he said grimly — I know it's there.

Come out of the shadows.

— Who are you?

As fast as my movement could have been against him, the damn thing predicted every thrust like a pro and with a single blow had me passing out.

THE VOICES WERE FAR AWAY, but I managed to gradually recover my senses and finally I opened my eyes, I was punched that almost made me faint again, instinctively made me wake up for good, predicting that if I hadn't done that, I would surely die.

I couldn't die... not there... not then...

I squinted around me and saw several very successful people doing a kind of cheerleading, and I found myself in the center of a ring. I noticed that Jean Desjardin was looking at me with immense curiosity in his eyes.

My opponent attacked me again, but this time it was different and the despair of dying without having my revenge gave me the strength to make him fall stunned with two blows and the third killed him instantly.

The crowd was euphoric.

Jean came close to me and said:

— I will make you immortal.

He saw the fury in my eyes.

— Don't be angry, you should love me, just like Estefânia loves me.

— I will kill him.

He laughed.

— Did you hear that? — He said to the small crowd around him.

He turned to me with that smile, but I didn't wait for the call, and it caught him off guard.

Jean got on her knees and ran her hand over her mouth and saw a trickle of blood coming out and licked the blood off her hand and smiled.

His attack was quick, I managed to dodge it, but contrary to what they say, the hate didn't blind me, it made me stronger.

I came out of that fight with three broken ribs, but everyone mistakenly thought I had already lost, I managed to hit Jean's weak point.

— Do you beat a woman out of the greatest desire to be one? — Why the affair with Gabriel Castàn?

For the first time he wiped the smile off his face and the hatred was real, but I dodged it at the last moment and invested everything in that blow, which by sheer luck hit the back of his head and passed out.

Everyone in the audience made the characteristic thumbs-down sign.

My heart sped up frantically, I didn't know how it was going to be, at that moment came the hatred I felt for my father.

Someone threw a knife near me and I felt for the first time the power of life and death in my hands that began to tingle with excitement.

Jean slowly opened her eyes and whispered.

— Do it quickly.

The blow was accurate.
