Luana
- Caetano, you need to let go, listen to me, what happened between us started out wrong, there was no way it could work out then or now. There is still time to make it right with me. I am pregnant and Leandra is with me, she is just a little girl who is scared. Please, set us free!
Caetano is totally out of his mind, even knowing the consequences of what he is doing, he doesn't seem to be afraid. I know that sooner or later we will be found, it's just a matter of time, but I still fear for me and Leandra.
- I can't do that, I want you to understand, Blondie, that your place is on my side. I've waited for this moment for a long time, I've been looking for you for years, I know you wouldn't have become a junkie if it wasn't for me, I did everything wrong, I thought I could fix things by making a commitment to you but your damn brother took you away from me. I'll make it up to you, you'll see, now eat!
Caetano held out a plate of food for me but I do not trust him, he may well have put some kind of medicine to make me sleep so he can abuse me, I know well that he has no scruples even with a child here would have the courage to rape me, Leandra was on my lap and began to pull my blouse, I know that when he does this is because he is hungry.
- I'm not hungry, Caetano, you can take the food!
I took the breast out and soon Leandra lined up in my arms putting her little mouth on my breast to be able to feed, as long as I have milk to feed my little one I do not mind eating even though I'm feeling very hungry. Caetano remained silent watching my gesture of giving milk to my little one.
- When he saw you and Leandra like that, he thought of everything that the bastard half-breed took from me, especially for having had everything that should be mine!
- Caetano, I'm not yours, never have been and never will be! You may have been my first man but my heart was never yours, I remember well how you used me and how you destroyed my life, killed an innocent just to hurt me and still wanted to make up for it by marrying me without even caring what I wanted. Know that the only man you loved is Romeo, you can take me to the end of the world and nothing will change this, you can beat me up like in the past and even kill me but nothing will change what I feel for my Romeo!
Caetano approached me with hatred in his eyes I know he's dying to show me what a monster he is but he looked at Leandra in my lap while her eyes were closed and stepped back, he took the plate of food smiling devilishly.
- Since you intend to face me you won't eat until you apologize to me, and think of a very convincing way to have my forgiveness because after having confessed your love to that damned half-breed bastard I don't see any other way than by returning to be mine.
The bastard left the room slamming the door hard and locking it soon after, he knows that soon I will succumb to hunger and thirst because I'm breastfeeding I feel more hunger and I need to replenish my strength even so I will not give in to his will.
I'd rather die than have his disgusting hands on me, I remember that inside Leandra's purse there are some packages of cookies, apples and a bottle of water. I take advantage that he left the bag here and take a packet of cookies and drink some water, I need to ration food because I do not know how long I will be here, I lay Leandra in my arms thanking him that although scared, she is calm and not crying.
The room where I am is large and has a bathroom and a spacious double bed, Caetano wants to lie down with me but is holding back for some reason, perhaps because he wants the initiative to come from me, I am aware that he is crazy so I need to act with caution.
I spent the whole night watching over my little one's sleep and thinking of some way to escape, I can't just attack Caetano, he is a trained man yet I have an advantage in my favor, I am also trained and I can use the fact that he is obsessed with me. Unfortunately I have no choice but to make him believe that I am receptive to him in order to escape.
- Mama will find a way out of here, my love!
I kissed the small face of my little girl who had already woken up in gratitude I received a sweet smile from her, to save Leandra I am capable of anything even let Caetano think that he has won and that he will have me in his arms again.
Romeo
- Nothing yet, some of my contacts have contacted their acquaintances but no one has been able to say anything, Bernardino. I am so sorry!
I was sleepless hoping to get some information about Luana and my daughter but could not find anything, Miguel kept asking about his mother and sister, I had to lie to him saying that they went on a quick trip even though my son was still worried because he knows that Luana would never travel without him and me.
Mama Emilia is under the effect of tranquilizers, she couldn't hide what happened but as soon as she found out she had a drop in pressure. Now she is under Conceição's care resting, it is better that she remains like this, I understand that it is not easy for her so I asked the family doctor to keep her sedated.
- All right, Camilo, thank you for your help. Let's keep looking, I'm sure we'll find him, it's just a matter of time.
We hear knocking at the door and I ask to enter, it's Saul accompanied by two men, a young man apparently about 20 years old and an older man who is certainly the father of the younger man, you can see the resemblance between the two.
- Bernardino, good morning! Dario has asked me to come here to help him with whatever is necessary until he arrives with Cecilia and the children. This is Luigi Barone and his son Igor Barone, we are at your disposal to help you in whatever you need.
- I just need to know where Caetano might be, although my sister believes in her brother I still have my doubts about it. Tell me, how can I believe that Dario Albertini has nothing to do with this?
Suddenly the office door is opened, Dario entered the room together with Cecilia, it's clear how upset my sister is, he took care of her yet I could notice her closed and cold expression.
- You must believe me first because I love your sister and I would never do anything to harm the one my Cecilia loves, second because my loyalty is to the Albertini Mafia not to men and third but not least, I am your Don, I know you have never agreed with me or been your target of admiration yet I remain the leader of this family. I can guarantee that your wife will be safe along with your youngest daughter but for that you need to trust me, I understand that my record is not the best especially for what I did with your sister but allow me to prove that I am a different man.
Dario at no time diverted his gaze from mine, it's hard for me to have to trust this blue blood but if Cecilia trusts I can do the same, I know how my sister is smart and astute would not be fooled by empty words coming from Dario.
- Don Albertini, the Bernardino house trusts your leadership, if my sister believes in you I won't be the one not to do the same, but bring back my Moon and Leandra, that's all I ask!
- Don't worry, your wife and daughter will be here by the end of the day, that's a promise!
Dario extended his hand expecting a greeting from me to seal his word with me, I shook his hand showing that I trusted him and his word to bring my daughter and wife back, I just ask God that Dario Albertini can rescue Luana and Leandra.
