Weeks had passed, but upon seeing Bruno standing in front of her, the sensation was as if it were yesterday. Her heart involuntarily raced, and Helena had to make an effort not to show the surprise and emotion she felt. Those familiar eyes, that smile that used to brighten her days, everything was there before her.Leandro looked from Helena to Bruno, clearly confused by the situation. He stood up, his demeanor shifting from confidence to uncertainty. Helena felt her stomach tighten, her mind spinning to comprehend what was happening. Helena's ex-fiancé, sensing the tension in the air, stood up and cleared his throat gently, bringing Helena's attention back to reality. She stared at him for a moment before recomposing her expression, trying to understand what was going on."Hi, Bruno," she finally managed to say, her voice trembling. "What are you doing here?""Hi, Helena," Bruno said, his voice sounding somewhat nervous. "I was passing by, and... well, I decided to deliver this packa

Helena returned with her head down, her mind swirling around the enigma that the package represented. She stared at the printed address on the package, and a chill ran down her spine when she realized it was her home address, not the office address she had planned. A wave of confusion engulfed her, her memories colliding with what lay before her. She was sure she had put the office address, and she hadn't mailed the package because she had met Leandro that day. A mixture of despair and restlessness grew within her.An idea began to form in her mind, an idea that seemed absurd at first but gained strength with each passing second. Maybe Leandro had found the package and, in an attempt to help her or even protect her, had returned it in her place. The possibility of this altruistic act made her eyes widen in the face of a possible reality. Anger took over her gaze, mixing with confusion and a sense of betrayal.Without thinking twice, Helena headed toward Leandro, who was leaning agains

The soft twilight light bathed the interior of the vehicle, illuminating Bruno's face as he sat by the window, lost in his own thoughts.While he observed the vegetation-covered mountains, Bruno tried to align his mind and heart. The internal conflict that had consumed him since he left Helena was an unrelenting storm, a battle between his rational decisions and his deepest desires. The wind whispered against the glass as if attempting to bring him some consolation or answers.He clutched the bus ticket in his hands, feeling the crumpled paper between his fingers. With a sigh, he took a pen from his backpack and began scribbling on the back, listing the pros and cons of his decision.

Helena lifted her left hand, displaying the engagement ring, while Leandro held her other hand."Surprise, Mom," Helena said with a nervous smile.Regina let out a joyful and surprised scream, quickly getting up from the couch and rushing toward the couple.

The sky was still draped in dark shades of the night when Bruno opened the door of the sports equipment store, Nilton's Bike. It was a new day, but for Bruno, it seemed to carry the weight of the choices he had made. He wanted to lose himself in his work, immerse himself in every task that needed to be done, a way to find focus and purpose amidst the confusing emotions that plagued him.He began cleaning the store, organizing shelves, checking stocks, and ensuring everything was perfect for another day of business. The occupation gave him a sense of normalcy, a feeling of control over something in his life that he felt he had lost.Nearly two hours later, his friends and coworkers, Gabriel, Lucas, and Jonathan, arrived at the store. They watched Bruno with looks that denoted concern and curiosity. It was clear that something was happening, something they hadn't been informed about.Lucas was the first to approach, greeting Bruno with a nod. "Hey, Bruno, everything okay?"Bruno averted

On the beach's edge, the gentle breeze and the sound of waves created an atmosphere of tranquility as Gabriel, Lucas, and Jonathan conversed. The concerned glances exchanged between them revealed that Bruno's situation was weighing on their hearts.Jonathan looked at his friends and sighed. "We need to do something about this, guys. I've never seen Bruno so down."Gabriel nodded, agreeing with his friend. "It's true. He's going through a tough time."Lucas nodded, his brows furrowing in agreement. "I agree. He's shutting himself off, and that's not good."Gabriel furrowed his brow, lost in thought. "But what can we do? Bruno clearly said it was his choice not to be with Helena, and she also seems to have accepted it."Jonathan pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed on the horizon. "I get his point, but what he didn't tell Helena is about the prophecy. If she knew about that, I think their decision might have been different."The other two friends turned to him, surprised. Lucas tilted

CHAPTER 37

Helena stared at Bruno's friends, trying to grasp the meaning behind Lucas's words. Her heart raced as questions piled up in her mind. Bruno didn't stay with her because he was going to die? The idea seemed absurd, but there was something in the seriousness of the three guys' eyes that made her question even more. How could Bruno be so sure about this? And what was the meaning behind this prophecy? The questions multiplied, and Helena was determined to uncover the answers.Sensing Helena's discomfort, Lúcia suggested they go to a nearby bar for a more relaxed conversation. The five friends walked to the place in silence, their expressions reflecting the seriousness of the matter at hand. When they arrived, Helena looked at the three guys and finally broke the silence."Okay, can someone explain what's going on? Why are you talking about prophecies and death? This doesn't make any sense."Pedro sighed and turned to Helena, determined to tell the whole story. "Some time ago, we crossed

CHAPTER 38

While Jonathan, Gabriel, and Lucas conversed along the way about lost time and how everything could have been avoided, they turned the corner and came face-to-face with a familiar figure. Bruno stood in front of the store, arms crossed and a serious expression on his face. He watched them approaching, and the friends exchanged nervous glances among themselves.Bruno walked up to them, his gaze fixed on the three with an intensity that conveyed seriousness. "Where were you guys yesterday?" he asked directly.Gabriel tried to deflect, smiling nervously. "Oh, you know how it is, Bruno, we thought it was a holiday..."Lucas chimed in, supporting Gabriel's attempt. "Yeah, exactly! We swore it was a holiday."Jonathan also confirmed, trying to follow the invented story. "That's right, it seemed like a holiday."However, Bruno wasn't willing to accept the excuse. He looked at the three with narrowed eyes, suspicious. "The three of you know very well that yesterday wasn't a holiday. From your

Bruno was lying in his bed, staring at the ceiling as the early morning slowly gave way to dawn. The pale light that began to seep through the cracks in the curtains gently illuminated the room, but his thoughts were immersed in tumultuous darkness. It was Helena's wedding day, the day she was about to unite her destiny with Leandro's.He tried to convince himself that this was best for both of them. Helena deserved happiness, and if that happiness was with Leandro, he should accept it. But his heart seemed to rebel, clenching in his chest like an implacable fist. He closed his eyes tightly as if he could contain the torrent of emotions that threatened to overflow.With a deep sigh, Bruno got out of bed, his legs feeling as heavy as lead. He made his way to the bathroom, letting the shower water fall over him. The hope was that the water could wash away the memories of Helena from his mind. He closed his eyes, tilting his head under the flow of water, but instead of dissipating the me

Moments Before...Helena felt as if the ground had been pulled from under her feet. Marcelo's words echoed in her mind, revealing a reality she hadn't foreseen. The veil covering her face seemed symbolically representative of the veil that had kept her away from the truth for so long. With accelerated breathing, she stared at her mother, seeking confirmation of Marcelo's words in her eyes.Regina avoided Helena's gaze for a moment, but then, realizing she couldn't escape the situation, she sighed and finally confirmed, searching for words to explain herself. "Helena, I wanted... I just thought I was doing what was best for you. I wanted you to have a secure future, to be happy."Her mother's words echoed in the room, but Helena was still struggling to assimilate the impact of what she had heard. She turned to Marcelo, her eyes moist with emotion. "So, is this the truth? Leandro... he's marrying me because of this agreement?"Marcelo nodded solemnly, observing the distress in his siste
