From that night on Sophia finished her chores at the restaurant and went straight to the bar. He was going to meet Marcelo, then they slept together in an inn. Luiza continued to date Eduardo, but now she was burning with jealousy when she thought that his wife might at that moment be giving herself to someone else, which in fact happened.

 The two women continued to live together in the same house, but sleeping in separate rooms and talking little. As if they were strange people who had never met before. At first this happened without too many problems, but then things started to get complicated. Because, unlike Sophia, she was extremely possessive and exploded in fury when she arrived every night from work and no longer met her at home.

 That Friday, he had a bad day at work, argued with his boyfriend and on top of that his head was bursting with pain. Upon entering and facing the immense loneliness that awaited him tirelessly in that room, decorated with flowered papers on the wall. The pattern of which was beautiful red roses, the floor with fine carpets and high-value furniture from ancient times, when the first owners were still young and everything was new. He throws the bag to one side and settles on the other, lying down looking at the ceiling, feeling like a drug. At first, he found his relationship with Eduardo pleasant and believed that passion could take a serious turn, but it became a routine and lost its grace.

Worst of all was to realize that his old partner seemed to no longer love her, he was going through another phase in his life, looking more fulfilled, happier, as for her what was left was to change places. To, leave the position of those who humiliate to be humiliated, of those who despised them to the place of contempt. Sophia has a great night's sleep and wakes up very early to go to the restaurant, passed by in a hurry, but still noticed the other one who slept on the sofa in the living room. This reminded her of the times when she did the same, while bitterly jealous of betrayal.

As always, at the end of the afternoon she went for a cold beer at the bar where Marcelo worked and there, they talked about a proposal she wanted to make, she invited him to help her manage the restaurant, as she had in mind to open another in the center. The city of Valence, in the state of Piaui, has always been a peaceful place, with few inhabitants. With a small population that survived from trade and agriculture.

But it had a great development with the arrival of small companies that generated new jobs and income for its residents. Especially the chains of motels, hotels and restaurants that infested everywhere, there have never been so many developments there, as was seen in those days. The branch was opened some, time later and Sophia hands management over to her boyfriend, causing a revolt in Luiza, who was unhappy with the whole situation.

The company where he worked ended mining activities in the locality and laid off all employees. Among them she, who thereafter was without work. Using the companion in the hope of being able to help her again in the management of the restaurants. However, he did not find support, given that Marcelo assumed this role alongside her.

And after that there is no longer any need for someone else to take up that position. Realizing that his wife was determined to give up the relationship and move on to another, definitively joining her new love, Luiza was filled with resentment. From then on, the climate between them could not have gotten worse, there were constant fights.

 Harmonious coexistence within the house where they lived was no longer possible and Sophia made the decision to leave. He went to live in an apartment in one of the noblest neighborhoods in the city. Alone and bitter, Luiza returns to her parents' house and seeks refuge with those who ignored the advice, but her father did not want to help her. The mother was a submissive type to her husband and did nothing in her favor, even though she loved him very much, as she saw how much the daughter embarrassed the family name, joining another woman in a promiscuous life.

 Without any support she returns and lives alone where she was happy one day with the one who loved her so much. But he did not know how to give it due value and now he would have to see it being fully realized in the arms of another. Bitterly, she separated from her lover and started to go out at night, drinking, smoking and prostituting herself with anyone she liked, she became a bitch without any shame. Sophia heard about all her insanities, but remained silent.

He said nothing for or against, he just led a new life and his business in order to only improve day after day. On one occasion the three met on one of the city streets. Seeing the one she slept with until recently, and in the same bed, holding hands with another, burned his blood in his veins and made his jealousy bitter in his heart. They had no chance to make any presentation, because Sophia strategically led the way.

 Taking her boyfriend unaware of what had happened. More and more it went down to the bottom of the well. To try to fill the huge void inside his chest he made new friends in the wrong places, with undue people, and ended up losing himself in addictions. She became addicted to marijuana, then cocaine and crack, she survived on the savings saved in the days of fat cows.

When I worked at the mining company, however, it was almost over, as I made large withdrawals every day to keep the damn addiction. Gradually destroying herself, more and more enslaved to drugs, she moved away from family, friends and society as a whole. She started to walk among other addicts, became a beggar, living under bridges, in the open air and wearing dirty clothes and broken clothes.

Her intellect stopped, was destroyed by crack and other chemical mixtures that she used as a way to escape the horrendous reality that she herself created with her irresponsible deeds. Their nights and days were similar, because there was only darkness in them. Following that path from hell to try to escape the guilt that silently punished her heavy conscience for having caused the dissolution of a union that had everything to work out caused her to distance herself from Sophia, the end of a story that started with a beautiful friendship.

There sitting in that gutter, looking almost without noticing the people who passed in front of him and moved like figures almost imperceptible to his confused look. Due to the large amount, of drugs taken since the previous day. She hardly ate, nor slept for several nights, she was supported by the damn paste she smoked or the powder she smelled. That night would be like so many others if it weren't for the evil plot of fate to once again punish him with great rigor. While asleep on that cold and damp sidewalk because of the slightly falling serene, some criminals passed by the place.

 And out of malice decided to set fire to some drug addicts who slept there. They were young middle-class offenders who detested the poor devils and planned to kill them in protest to their existence on the streets, many of whom were seriously injured among them was Luiza. She who was still rescued by the popular and taken, along with other homeless people, to a public hospital.

 Where they were given first aid. As soon as Sophia became aware of what happened to the beggars living on the outskirts, she immediately remembered her. He left the hospitals looking for her until he found her. His condition was serious and needed urgent care. Because he suffered deep burns in some parts of the body, requiring an emergency surgical intervention, he had to be transferred to the Hospital G. Vargas, in the Capital.

Plastic surgery was necessary to reconstruct areas damaged by the fire set by the vandals, while sleeping on the streets. The price was absurd like everything in this country, but Sophia was doing well financially and didn't even feel the burden of expenses, she did everything willingly, without thinking of rewards or future thanks, as she knew it was her duty to reach out to those who need help.

However, even after helping her, he asked the hospital administration to keep complete secrecy about what he had just done. In a few days Luiza recovered from the incident and returned home, where she was cared for by her mother. This is because her father had already passed away a few months ago and she, keeping her distance was not even warned, being prevented from saying goodbye to him despite her regrets. Now that only she is left and her mother returns to her old life routine. Fully recovered from chemical dependence and ready to start from scratch. She paid a visit to the old friend she married and thanks for the strength.

Together, apologizing for the harm you have done to everyone and to yourself. Finally, he had the opportunity to get to know Marcelo better and understand that Sophia would have been the best choice. Move on after overcoming the loss of the woman you loved, after realizing it too late. The months passed quietly in their lives, when the unexpected appears.

With the approach of Luiza and Marcelo and the great friendship that ended up emerging between them, little by little Sophia started to stay in the corner of the relationship and again left behind. On weekends the two no longer go out alone, without her presence, as he insisted on being able to count on his new friend on the tours.

Sophia was a beautiful and interesting woman, but Luiza, besides being beautiful, was much younger, and for men it counts a lot. Without his girlfriend knowing, Marcelo invited his friend for a conversation in a private place, claiming that the matter was important. They met at a restaurant outside the city, where no one knew them, and there he went straight to declaring his interest in her:

   — I can't believe what I just heard, are you telling me that you fell in love with me?

   — Okay, sorry, but the heart is like someone who falls in love without considering the consequences

   — Not the heart, but we must consider things! Sophia firmly believes in the sincerity of love that says feeling, what do you think she will feel when she discovers this betrayal?

   — I know that, but how do I stay in this story? Should I think about the pain she will feel or my happiness?

   — Speaking like that, you seem very insensitive very selfish!

   — Maybe, but I learned that in life to be happy, we must sometimes act with a certain amount of exclusivity, put ourselves first and leave others in the background, for example: Look at what she did to you, even though she swore eternal love she gave up trying to win you back. And left for another one by my side, did you happen to take into account how you still felt about her?

  — Calm down, but I deserved it, because I was the first to cheat

  — But if the love you said you felt were really true, it would have forgiven you and given you a second chance in the relationship, she was selfish, thinking only of herself and the pain she felt when she discovered the betrayal, not understanding her weakness!

Marcelo statements led Luiza to reflect better and see that in certain points he was right, and from that day on he started to have meetings in the same place to talk about various subjects, they acted as good friends, but she was always aware of the true his interest in leaving his girlfriend to be by his side. There was something different about this man that she had not encountered before in any other, he was extremely charismatic. Attentive and ready to hear more than talk, which in a relationship is fundamental. In most cases, the end of a relationship is due to the absence of dialogue and understanding.

 When one of the partners does not know how to listen to the other's outburst or is willing to give opinions that help him solve his personal problems, he just wants to receive attention and live the pleasure of the moment, acting selfishly, thinking only of himself.  But he was the opposite of that, he knew how to listen and give advice, and that made him a lot more special. Gradually she started to admire him more and more, and this is the magic formula to win the heart of a woman captivating her complete admiration. It did not take long for her to be completely enveloped by her charms, being dominated by the heart and enveloped by the soul that longed to be loved.

 Desired and received affection that she had not had for a long time. That's because she is thrown into the drug world. Luiza was enveloped in the captivating way of that different and strangely spectacular man who held her with such immense strength, similar to a serpent's snare next to his manly body. He was a vital male. This was in an inexplicable way that she couldn't get out of. The end of it all was the bed, without the strength to continue avoiding the strong desire I felt for him.

He ended up giving in to his successive appeals and gave himself up as he had never done before, only to soon discover that, in addition to being extremely gentle and polite, he was also an excellent lover. At the time of sex, the pleasure he received from him was divine. The light touch of his hands that slid down her body, the dozens of kisses given from the mouth to the private parts ... In addition to the way his thick fingers invaded her moist vagina by the strong ecstasy felt, they went crazy and, when he entered inside her made her almost pass out.

Marcelo was perfect in the way of loving a woman, he knew how to make her fall apart in his arms, he came to innovate his way of seeking pleasure, everything was unusual, modern, different. At every moment she understood even more why she had been exchanged for him, not far from understanding so many sexual techniques and how a lover had a lot to learn from him, and she was doing just that at that moment.

After fulfilling all the sexual fantasies, they envisioned doing together. Each returned to his home and, meanwhile, Sophia devoted herself to the maximum in running her restaurant, believing that her boyfriend was doing the same. Because he came from a mediocre background, he lived all the time in search of more money that would provide him with an increasingly wealthy and comfortable life. For when he remembered how bitter the first days of his life were, he felt even more driven to fight for this ideal. Unfortunately, with no luck in love, all the people with whom she has been involved up to the present have not known how to recognize her worth as a woman who gave her all in the battle for survival. Before they betrayed and hurt his already suffering heart.

 She had barely managed to recover from the pain she felt at losing Luiza and another huge disappointment awaited her. Her bad luck of losing everyone she loved had gone back to acting and would lose the only man she really felt lost in passion with, and it would be her biggest rival who would get him out of her. Trapped in his innocent way of looking at reality, always trusting the people with whom he related. She remained in body and soul at work, while she was betrayed again. It was Marcelo who started to manage the restaurant that would have opened in the capital.

While the girlfriend stayed all week in the city of Valence, a few kilometers away. The distance between the two made it very easy for him to meet Luiza. That because she was blinded by passion, she no longer worried about what she might feel when she discovered the case between the two. They spent the week together in a luxury hotel, all paid for with the balance of the establishment's billing. In fact, it was Sophia who played the very betrayal she was going through. Teresina was the metropolis.

 A beautiful city, and she rarely had the chance to enjoy the wonders of that place. Now she was working like a convict, to play the naughtiness of a couple of idiots who had no regard for her. They enjoyed themselves as much as they could and in the most varied ways, spending a lot of money and snubbing lust, were two strayers. Enjoying the sweat spilled on the face of that woman who came out of nowhere. And tried to build a small business that would prevent her from being a victim of misery again. The same one in which she lived most of her life, she was simply terrified of poverty. The case between the two infidels lasted for many months without being noticed. However, nothing in this life remains hidden for long, not forever, and the hour of revelation comes unexpectedly. One day of the week, when

 Marcelo did not expect, his girlfriend arrives at the restaurant by surprise and does not find him assuming his responsibilities, one of the employees told him what usually happened. About his sudden exits from the place and his return just days later. He also warned her about the tall, dark girl who accompanied him, spending most of his time by his side. Sophia shivered at the base when she realized that she was once again the victim of betrayal by someone in whom she placed her trust. She didn't feel her feet on the floor, her heart was on fire in her chest.

She was not even able to know what she really felt. Whether hate, revolt or thirst for revenge. After identifying the place where they were, he went there, confident that they would find them in the practice of infidelity. And there was nothing else, things really happened as expected. Upon arriving at the very thin roof they were on he was faced with a terrible scene, the kind a woman would never want to see, her man making out with his mistress.

Their lack of concern was such that they didn't even lock the door. And it was easy for her to sneak in, catching cruel infidelity. A thousand excuses were made, but none of them were enough to appease the anger that burned inside him. And possessed of rage, she broke everything around her, he went after the boyfriend's lover and beat her with deadly hatred, there were so many blows to the rival with his hands, feet and everything he could use as a weapon.

 That he left her collapsed on the floor. Even with the traitor trying to stop her from committing such barbarity. But she was not yet satisfied and, after throwing herself on the other, she went violently to her boyfriend armed from a chair and dealt several blows on him. Despite being a man of great physical size and able to defend herself against such attacks, the aggressor was also of great stature and the anger that dominated her became much more dangerous. Not to mention that he would avoid attacking his aggressor, as he was a woman and recognized his mistake.

 Sophia beat them both with the fury of a woman upset by the betrayal she suffered, but she was aware of their attitudes and would not escape the deserved punishment. Before returning, he made sure that the infidel was prevented from continuing to run his business, appointing another employee in his place. Completely desolate she returns to her city and seeks refuge within the four walls of her room, beside the loneliness that insisted on participating in her pains whenever she fell out of favor. Lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling lined with hardwood paneling, she seeks answers to confused questions that wander through her tormented mind, wandering between the present and the past, as if trying to find a logical explanation for so many failures in love. He couldn't be happy with the miserable family he was born into.

Not one of the few friends he made in the long journey he took until the change that took place in his life after he was adopted. But even after she changed her financial condition and started living in a better world, she could not be loved. Everyone to whom she gave her heart betrayed her, lied, deceived her. At first, she learned not to trust men because one of them raped her and stole her honor.

Then she tried to live a great love with another woman, believing that she would be understood. That she would finally be loved by someone of the same sex, who understood feminine feelings, her way of giving herself and her most intimate needs, however, the disappointment that came over her was just as painful. Then a man appears who was apparently different from the others he met in the past, educated, attentive and gentleman.

Besides a great lover. He surrendered himself to his charms and lost himself in them with the pleasure he received from him. He was no longer afraid of pain or betrayal, for he was sure that he had finally found the love of his life. And now, perhaps due to the irony of fate or pure luck, everything is repeated again and is stabbed again in the back.

 The beating that gave them was still little compared to what they deserved, but it took the fountain that poured money into the traitor's pockets and, knowing Luiza well, who liked the good comfort more than his lovers. Soon, she would let him see ships, and hopefully he wouldn't dare knock on her door with apologies, as he would pour hot water on the bastard. She was reclusive in the huge house where she lived in the company of her faithful friend Chico, a cat that she bought on the trip she made to Rio de Janeiro, when she married Luiza. And the old memories of Dona Ana that were scattered everywhere. From the old furniture to the countless plants she cultivated in the spacious garden in front of the property.

The neighbors commented on the situation in which that poor woman lived, alone and unhappy. Despite the wealth he possessed, he carried the stretchers of suffering in his face. Days later he took courage and decided to resume his business, using the little strength he still had. The ability to recover from the disappointments that life had in store for her was admirable.

His falls and stumbles were momentary, he rose suddenly, his emotional wounds soon healed and he turned around, revitalized and ready for a fresh start. She recovered and the infidels received their wages for their betrayals, Marcelo became unemployed. The money he diverted from restaurants spent almost everything on his lover.

 He was economically broken and, in this situation, he was dismissed by her who left in search of a new passion, as his feelings were driven by greed for power. Sophia knew that. As predicted, he returned after a while looking for her in search of reconciliation. But he received nothing from her except contempt, due to the great harm he had caused in the past.

 Suffering and disappointments made her a resentful woman. His good feelings turned to bitterness and he stopped pitying his fellow men, considering them all unjust and unworthy of mercy. After Marcelo infidelity, he didn't go into depression, as it did in André's case, nor did he crawl after him, as he did with Luiza. Of course, it hurt, he felt the bitterness of deception in his mouth once again. However, he knew how to use all his emotional forces, beat the dust. Rising and transforming that shame into another experience for his maturity, he moved forward with long strides. However, he did not fail to create a protective wall within himself to avoid further disappointments. Protection made of pure selfishness and indifference.

His dreams and future projects no longer contain plans that include the idea of ​​helping others. Now, according to his new way of thinking, his only goal would be to seek his own happiness. Being an insensitive woman, Luiza was self-serving and her attraction to someone was directly linked to the financial conditions she came to have.

And as the lover went down in status, she immediately gave him the deserved contempt. Her interest in her friend's boyfriend occurred for three reasons: First, because she was sexually attracted to him. Second, because the boy would be able to provide him with luxury and comfort. Besides being determined to separate him from his former wife.

And in fact, he achieved these purposes, because he ended up enjoying moments of luxury and in the end seeing them apart. Third, to win back Sophia, for she was not the type to passively accept defeat. For days he tried hard to get a chance to approach her, to apologize and ask for her forgiveness, but he did nothing.

 Finally, realizing that Sofia was adamant about accepting the friendship that once united them again, she left for a more direct confrontation and paid a visit at the restaurant, in order to have a frank conversation with her. At first Sophia, bitterly hurt by the betrayal, thought of not answering, but out of curiosity she chose to listen to her:

 — Thank you for having me

 — I did it because of the friendship we once had for each other, but please be brief!

 — Okay. I came here to admit my mistakes and ask you to forgive me

 — You can't, you went too far!

 — Don't be adamant!  We all made mistakes and I acknowledge that I slipped again with you, but I regret it and I'm here trying to make amends, accept my apologies and give me one more chance to fix things between us

— I gave you the chance to be my wife, one day, and what did you do? You left me for the first one that appeared in front of you! Then, not satisfied, it destroys my relationship with the man I learned to love. And is there still the cynicism that I came here to apologize, after hurting me so much? Good God, do you have no idea of ​​the harm you did to me? If I am still standing, it is because life has taught me to be strong and it is not just any blow that keeps me on the ground, however, the marks of the wounds remain and bother me. So, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pretend I forgot everything and accept you again in my life as if nothing had happened. Do me a favor, go away and do not look for me again, because next time I will not be as friendly with you as now!

When speaking these things, she gets up, leaving her alone at the table, and no longer returns to assist her. Disappointed by the failed attempt to regain it, Luiza left in humiliation. Sofia future was gloomy, with no good or bad prospects, however she persevered in search of happiness, as she already had enough money to not wake up every day worried about what to eat, as happened in the poor childhood she had. On a brief trip to the capital, he met Brenda, a twenty-five-year-old girl. She was tall, blonde, blue-eyed and a teacher at a gym located next to the Avenida restaurant, owned by her. It was during lunch that the two talked for the first time.

 And created a strong bond of friendship there that led them to a more intimate relationship. After the new friend turned out to be homosexual and be interested in her to live a romance. Coming from frustrated experiences with men and women, Sophia showed no immediate interest in accepting such a proposal. The last disappointment suffered by Marcelo left her unmotivated by any kind of relationship of that type.

 He came to see love and passion within a sphere similar to what Lucia, his mother, used to describe. She always warned you, saying that these feelings are for people who are weak in spirit. And those who love or fall in love only serve as idiots. However, he could not deny Brenda's extreme beauty, besides being pleasant to be with her.

As the gym was located next to the restaurant, Brenda made her daily meals on the spot and, with that, they saw each other constantly. This resulted in even greater intimacy, not least because the businesswoman regularly did her exercises at the gym every evening, after working hours. It was a Saturday, it was a beautiful and starry night, the full moon seemed so big it touched the ground.

 They stopped the car on the banks of the Parnaiba River, under the bridge that connects the two states, Maranhão and Piaui. In an area where an avenue was located that connected the two ends of the capital in the East and West directions, where many people were dating and enjoying the moonlight. With the vehicle parked close to the muddy waters of the wide river that almost overflowed, remaining inside the vehicle with tinted windows. They talked and little by little, with strong encouragement from Brenda, the two began to exchange caresses and kissed fervently. Starting from that moment on a serious involvement that would bring tragic results for both parties.

Once again Sophia found herself involved in an intimate relationship with another person of the same sex, it was the second attempt to be fully happy. Perhaps it was worth it, even though the means used were completely wrong in the moral and spiritual sense, because I knew how abominable that union was in the eyes of the Creator. But, due to the failed attempts to find the sentimental fulfillment that he tirelessly pursued until that day.

 And, having tried to fulfill himself alongside two men in a frustrating way, he again appealed for a relationship with another woman. Brenda was a single, middle-class young woman, elegant and very thin socially, but overly possessive. And that possessiveness started to cause serious problems between them.

 Because even friendship with other people Sophia could have without any hassles. Every now and then the two women were arguing about it and little by little freedom was prevented from being established in the relationship, Brenda was dominant and jealous to the extreme. Their case was a mixture of passion and aggression that created some tension. And in fact, it doesn't go well with Sophia's plans to find true happiness.

So, she decided to end this, announcing the separation. It so happened that when Brenda was notified that the relationship would end, she became even more aggressive and started to physically attack, beating her girlfriend and accusing her of betrayal. He claimed that his withdrawal was due to the reason for having another person, who was ruled out by his partner. But the ex-girlfriend persisted in the prosecution. It seemed that the luck of the businesswoman was really not having peace in her relationships, everyone was equally troubled. Sophia filed complaints against Brenda at the woman's police station and was supported by the law, she had to pay compensation for moral damages.

 Due to the aggressions, she was responding to a process in freedom, the justice ordered her to stay away from the victim. And not to approach within a hundred meters. This decision made by the delegate was to avoid other possible physical aggressions. The gym was located next to the restaurant, it would be almost impossible for the two women not to see each other from time to time, but they avoided exchanging looks, compliments and any other form of contact.

 But Brenda did not intend to give up on the passion she still felt. He was always watching Sofia's routine from a distance. His comings and goings from home to work, walks, environments he frequented alone. Sometimes, also in the company of someone, waiting for the right moment to act if he saw her having an intimate affair with a man or another woman. Until then he only saw her with friends or accompanied by employees, everything was fine. However, one night she decided to escape the routine and went to a disco to have fun and met Lana there.

 A beautiful brunette, young, attractive and very feminine. With whom he spent the whole night dancing and drinking a very fine French drink. The other watched everything from a distance, like a ferocious animal that waits for the best time to attack its prey. At dawn he followed them in the hope of discovering what they intended to do. he feared they were going to a motel or something, he certainly wasn't going to allow that to happen.

But to their relief, each of them drove in their vehicles to their homes. It seemed that there was only friendship between them. At least until that moment, but in the future everything could change. In the days that followed Brenda began to dedicate herself less to the administration of the academy and became more following in Sophia's footsteps. While she, innocent about it, quietly lived her daily routines without imagining that she was being followed.

Observed by the one with whom she had a brief affair, but very explosive by the way. Unaware of the type of person he had been involved with, he was little concerned about a possible rematch or something. He was confident that the determinations of justice would be fulfilled, in which they would keep their distance from each other.

In this way, she was reassured and did not remain attentive to what might be happening in this regard. That Friday, as usual, she and her new friend went out to have fun in one of the many nightclubs in town and chose the very famous Studio 51. The atmosphere was quite frequented by the elite, it was customary to have big shows and the presence of the young class was guaranteed, allowing for more hype in the place. Lana and Sophia danced all night and made new friends.

 The next morning, they received an invitation. They were invited to participate in a lunch at Fernanda's residence, one of the many girls they met that night. Saturday was very lively and at dusk Brenda proposes to spend the night together in her apartment, at the Jockey Club, one of the noblest neighborhoods in the capital. The invitation was gladly accepted by the businesswoman.

 It had been agreed to watch movies eating popcorn and soft drinks. What she loved, because it reminded her of her childhood times that, even though they suffered, marked her life a lot. The atmosphere was beautiful and comfortable, the walls lined with soft colored paper, details on the plaster-based ceiling and a floor prepared in whimsy coated with black porcelain tiles. Highlighting the wine-colored furniture present in most of the place. Everything there combined with admirable perfection. But it could not be otherwise, after all, the owner was an excellent and renowned decorator of environments. While they were having fun watching an old comedy.

 They were down there, with their car parked on the side of the street under the shadows cast by the branches of trees planted along the length of G. Vargas Avenue, Brenda impatiently awaited Sophia's departure. Without realizing that she would not return home that same night. It was after two in the morning, when he got tired of the surveillance and decided to leave, bitterly jealous and planning to take urgent measures and at any cost, to end that relationship.

Meanwhile, the two women remained awake and revealing their confidences, Sophia felt a strong attraction for her friend, but when she heard that she was heterosexual, she just kept it a secret. He hid the truth about his feelings. After watching several films and having a pleasant conversation, they went to sleep together in the same room, but in separate beds.

At dawn they said goodbye and Sofia returned home, feeling happy and at peace with herself, however, little did she know that fate was plotting yet another very strong storm to torment her. In the following weeks, the friends, meetings and outings continued to happen. Always closely monitored by Brenda, who, burning with jealousy, stopped even working to watch Sophia's steps.

 For it was his goal to be aware of all his movements and the places where he walked. What the other did and who she would be with became her obsession. Two months after the separation she was still closely following the one she once decided to beat up. And now he tried to prevent at any cost the right for her to live in freedom. Brenda was an emotionally out of control woman, living all her childhood and youth in total contempt. Because her parents devoted themselves more to business and money than to giving attention to the only daughter they had at home. Without a mother present and a father uncommitted to the family, I never knew what it was like to be truly loved.

As a teenager he discovered his interest in people of the same sex and at fifteen he had his first experience with another girl. When she fell in love for the first time, she was betrayed and humiliated, starting to live only on loving adventures without giving her heart until the day she met Sophia, she fell in love again. And for fear of losing it, he ended up acting impulsively, completely destroying the relationship that united them.

After he physically assaulted her and was responding to a lawsuit for bodily injuries violently applied to those he claimed to love. He runs out of time to try to win her back, but it seemed too late. While she felt the loneliness, jealousy and anguish of the immense emptiness she felt, Sophia and her newest friend were enjoying themselves through the nights.

It was early morning from Saturday to Sunday, the two women were returning from a party at a well-known club in the city. They were going home after saying goodbye to other friends. Lana exaggerated the drink and it was Sophia who, although also a little tipsy, drove the car very carefully, trying to avoid accidents. Before the intersection of two lanes, there was a three-time traffic light that took considerable time to clear traffic.

When parking the vehicle, waiting to be released to continue the journey, he realizes to stop beside another black car. The window goes down and she sees the driver with a gun drawn in her direction. Despite the poor visibility, both because of the moonless night and the low light inside the vehicle, regardless of being drunk, it was almost impossible to identify who was threatening her. The traffic light opened and the black car started at high speed, leaving them behind. Even, trying as hard as he could to write down the plaque was not possible. Not having found at that moment the vision necessary to understand what he saw.
