REVENGE AND BLOODSHEDChloe's scream must have been heard throughout the neighborhood, and Tulio was quick as always. Within seconds, he was on the stairs, with a perfect and precise aim, and the shot he fired hit the hooded man right in the middle of the forehead.Chloe had stood up from the step and was almost knocked down by Gringo in his haste to pass.The sight he saw of Milla lying at an abnormal angle instantly turned him green and shocked.Chloe only noticed that she was still screaming when Tulio slapped her hard, bringing her back to reality."It's okay, love," he kept repeating, hugging her and trying to cover up the lifeless body of her best friend so she wouldn't see it. Chloe felt his tremble.Tulio took her slowly to the car parked at the door, and she looked back before getting into the car and saw Gringo with Milla in his arms sobbing. The girl's head was hanging in his arms, and he looked up at the sky in despair.Chloe's teeth were chattering loudly. Tulio was about

LATE GRANDMOTHER BEATING.Tulio turned in his chair and looked at Shay. She really looked like Cloe and what she was saying to him was filling him with panic. Why did they have to look so similar, why did she remind him of a younger Cloe, despite being so problematic?Cloe came from a peaceful family, had loving and caring parents, whereas Shay's family was broken, her family was problematic and the girl was there, willing to have sex with him. It wasn't the first time she had harassed him, she wouldn't give up. She had come to the hotel looking for him and now she had driven there and wanted him.Shay seemed to see a break in his demeanor, he was weakening and looking at her. She thought and stood up, facing him. Shay smiled at him and took off her blouse, leaving only her bra."I'm here, Tulio, and I desire you, unlike her. Where is she? Why isn't she here with you in your moment of despair?" She seductively ran her hands over her bra. "You can have me here and now. I want to feel y

LOSSES AND DAMAGESGringo did show up, as Túlio had heard, but he didn't look for him. The loss of Milla was still an open wound in his heart. Gringo had come to the hill house to suffer alone and in peace, but when he saw Túlio's car there, he gave up on entering and left. He didn't know who to blame and blamed everyone at the same time. He just didn't blame Ant, knowing she was the target and the man had made a mistake and killed Milla, his best friend and companion. He loved her. He felt a great affection for her and they were partners. They made love, went for walks together, understood each other, and Milla never demanded that he stop loving Ant too. She understood him.He seemed to sustain himself on revenge. He hadn't gotten to the main one yet, the one who ordered the hit, but he had already killed six and was going one by one, looking for the mastermind, the one who ordered Ant's murder and killed Milla. Revenge was what eased his pain a little, and no one, not even Túlio, co

MACHIAVELLIAN MINDS WORKING TOGETHER.Shay had never been so humiliated in her life. She thought Tulio's punishment and rejection this time were cruel. She had been humiliated more than once by him, had ended up in the hospital and had been unable to speak for days, fearing that he had damaged her throat and she would never speak again after the night they slept together. Now, being dragged out of his room by one of his men, naked no less, was the worst humiliation for her. She felt the old wretch's eyes on her as she was taken away. She hated the damn old woman. Even in the dark, she noticed that the old woman was laughing and mocking her. She was as evil as her grandson.She saw Layla looking at her when she was there, and her gaze was always one of disgust, and now she would sleep happily knowing that her grandson had chased her away. Naked!Her face burned when Sopapo pushed her through the gate with force, throwing her into the middle of the street. Few people saw her there on th

IT'S JUST DREAMING AND DREAMING DOESN'T PAY ANYTHING!"I want to repeat a few more times how much I love you," Túlio said as Cloe rested on his chest after they had made love again and the early morning was already high. She smiled and looked at him."Know that I will never tire of hearing that.""Neither will I of repeating it.""I love you too, love, very much.""But I need to be honest with you," he sat up in bed, leaning his back against the headboard and his expression suddenly becoming serious. Cloe knew they had to talk about it, as much as it would hurt her. They had to start over with an open game, they couldn't pretend and ignore everything that had happened. Their relationship wouldn't sustain if they swept under the rug what had happened. "When I found out what happened to you, I went insane and instead of supporting you, I ran away. I ran away like a damn coward! I spent a few days getting drunk in a hotel and Shay, I still don't know how, showed up at the hotel and I was
