They knock on the indicated door, and after a few seconds, a tall man with an athletic build, a neatly trimmed beard, and a serious expression opens it.“Are you the ones looking for a missing passenger in São Paulo?” he asks bluntly.“That's right,” Noah replies, urgency in his voice.“Come in.”The couple steps into a dark room filled with monitors, control panels covered in buttons, and cables scattered everywhere. Five other security officers are stationed there, watching surveillance feeds and communicating through radios.“My name is Geraldo. I'm the head of security. Follow me,” the man says, already turning toward a side hallway.They follow him down a narrow corridor to an even more isolated room, where monitors cover an entire wall. Geraldo sits in front of a control station and points to two chairs.“You can sit down.”Elisa and Noah obey in silence, paying close attention to every movement the security supervisor makes.“I was able to access footage of the passengers who g

At her grandparents' house, Eloá grabs her laptop and starts researching colleges abroad. She is about to finish high school and plans to major in Accounting in Brazil, hoping to help her family manage their businesses in the future. But after the disappointment of seeing Henri with another woman, she realizes that staying there, so close to all of it, will only hurt her more with each passing day.She knows that when she tells her parents about her decision to study abroad, they will be deeply saddened, and so will her sister. But at that moment, it seems like the only way out. She needs to put an ocean between herself and everything that is causing her pain. Only then, perhaps, will she be able to tear Henri out of her heart.“That's what I'm hoping for,” she whispers to herself as she begins filling out applications and sending her information to foreign universities.Her fingers tremble slightly over the keyboard, but she doesn't stop. Her chest tightens with every click, as thoug

As she settles into one of the restaurant's chairs, the place nearly empty at that hour of the night, Eloá steals a discreet glance at Henri, who is studying the menu with full attention.His slightly furrowed brow, focused eyes, and perfectly shaped mouth held in a straight line form, in her eyes, a vision of paradise. Maybe it is love speaking louder than reason—or maybe loneliness—but at that moment, Henri seems like the most perfect man on earth.And as funny as it is, even though he has an identical twin brother, Eloá has never been able to see the same beauty in Gael that she sees in Henri. There is something unique about him, something impossible to explain.“I love you,” she murmurs, not realizing the thought has slipped past her lips.Henri lifts his eyes from the menu, surprised.“What did you say?”Freezing for a second, Eloá feels her heart leap into overdrive. Realizing her mistake, she quickly straightens in her chair and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, trying to

In the capital, Oliver is giving his statement to the police while Noah and Saulo wait outside in the station's silent reception area. The atmosphere is tense, weighed down by a suffocating sense of anticipation that makes the air feel heavier with every passing minute.As soon as the report is filed, the search for Túlio begins immediately. The police discover that he rented a house in a neighborhood on the outskirts of the city, far from downtown. However, when officers arrive at the address, they are informed that he moved out two weeks earlier without leaving a trace.Noah's anguish only grows as he stares at the walls of the police station. But nothing disturbs him more than seeing Luana's mother's name lighting up his phone screen over and over again. He knows she needs answers, but he doesn't have the courage to answer. He doesn't know what to say. He doesn't even know what to feel.“That's Luana's mother, isn't it?” Saulo asks when he notices his son-in-law's distressed gaze f

The cold hospital lights seem to make everything darker. Nurses rush through the hallways while Noah remains seated in the waiting room, his elbows resting on his knees and his gaze fixed on the floor. Luana has been taken straight into emergency care, but so far, no one has given him a clear update on her condition.The waiting is eating him alive.Saulo and Oliver are at the police station, trying to get information from the officers handling the case. Noah, on the other hand, can't bring himself to leave. His heart feels heavy, his stomach is in knots, and a crushing sense of guilt follows him like a shadow.Then the reception doors burst open.“Where is my daughter?!” Marta's voice echoes through the room, filled with pure desperation.She storms inside with hurried, unsteady steps, her hair disheveled and her face swollen from crying. The moment she locks eyes with Noah, she heads straight for him.“Where is my daughter?!” she repeats, grabbing his arm tightly. “Where is she, Noa
