Julian

Eloise was the only thing I had in my miserable fucking life, incredibly beautiful, and very sweet in every way.

After leaving her house the night she gave herself body and soul to me and I owned every piece of her beautiful, fragile little body.

A car stopped me when I was about to get into mine and go to my house, I was happy, for the first time I felt really happy, when I looked at Eloise, my heart was racing in a way that I thought could have a heart attack at any time. Despite being an experienced man and having had all kinds of women in my company and in my bed, with her my hands were sweating and I had an extreme need to please her.

That's when I saw Brenda get out of that car, my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing in front of me. Yes, my girl had already told me that Harry's parents were called Brenda and Antônio, I already knew he was alive, but she, for me she had died in that damn fire.

I was so angry, she wasn't much different from years ago, her superior-to-others pose was still there, as well as her turned-up nose and disgusted face. She was to blame for everything! Shit, she knew I was innocent and left me there. Why? What harm had I done to her?

"There you are, the runaway maniac..." she said with a mocking air.

"You know damn well I didn't kill a fucking family! What do you want?" I asked directly.

"I already know where you are hiding Julian. The only one who doesn't is my husband, Antonio, but he will know..." She said approaching me.

"See my scared face?" I asked her making her inhale with anger.

"Why did you run away? You should be in jail! You bastard!" She exclaimed and came at me with punches. "You killed my baby, it was all your fault!" I realized that the only crazy one there was her.

It was true that after her baby died, she didn't want to take care of the other one that was left, even though it was the day before all the shit happened in my life, I saw her reject him.

"It wasn't me! You're crazy Brenda! You know your motherfucking husband did this! He killed your son! He raped my sister and all those girls! He set my house on fire and killed my wife! My family! Damn , you were supposed to be locked up in a madhouse, not me! Shit!" I screamed and saw his eyes widen.

"It's not true... It was you... It was you... Antonio said it was you, Julian, it was you!" She whispered to herself very softly. Maybe it was just me, but she was the one who looked crazy. "I know about you, I know where you hide, and there's also your little princess that you visit, if you don't disappear or surrender, I'll finish her off, understand? I'll finish off that stupid little girl! Leave her to my son." Demanded.

I was a self assured man, I could take care of myself and send that bitch to hell. But what about my girl? I still couldn't protect her, I knew that one day that would end up happening, I knew they could use her to blackmail me, it was a bit cliché that shit that was happening, but what could I do if I was accused of being a maniac when the real ones were on the loose and could do whatever they wanted to my girl?

Especially since she insisted on being friends with that boy, the son of my worst enemies. It was so easy for them to get what they wanted, the fear was greater than anything else, the fear of losing her, the fear that they could hurt her like they had done to other girls in the past.

I couldn't let it, if my Eloíse was going to be safe, I would walk away, I knew it would be painful for her, she didn't deserve it, but it was necessary, I would disappear. But not for long. I would go back with everything, as soon as I had conclusive proof that I was wrongly framed, that Brenda was alive and had faked death to frame me for yet another crime, that Antonio was the one who killed the baby and that he was also the one who set my life on fire. home with my family inside. But before, everything pointed to me, and I couldn't do anything, for now.

I would go back and wipe them out, with the influential family legacy, with all the accusations against me. And so my little girl would be out of danger for us to be together in peace, I could protect her from all harm, even if for that I had to make her shed a few tears for a short period of time.

I wouldn't be any different, I would suffer like hell away from her, even more so after having tasted her delicious body, I was just starting with her, I would teach her so many things, make her experience so many things, make her happy. And mine forever.

But for every victory, before there is a test. And I would pass, for both of us.

My heart was broken for having to do that to her, just thinking about having to stay away from the most beautiful thing that ever happened in my life, from the light of my days, from my purest and most intense dreams. But it was for her, I would do anything, anything without exception, for her to be safe and well.

"Okay. I'm leaving. But you have to promise not to let anyone lay a finger on her. Not even your fucking son!" I exclaimed with hate running through my veins.

"Okay. I never want to see you around here again!" She said and got into her car.

That day, which was supposed to be the best night of my life in years, became my worst punishment, being without her, without touching her no matter how long, would be torturous. What if in that time she was interested in someone else?

I took my car as it was and drove to one of my properties in the south of the country, it was a long drive but it would be worth it if it was safe.

Two days later I got a call from Agnelo, he wanted to meet me as soon as possible. Anxious and already anticipating good news, I told him where I was and asked him to approach me cautiously so that he would not be followed, even if no one suspected that I had a private investigator.

When he arrived, he tried to tell me everything about Eloíse's life, everything she did and who she talked to, I was far away, but there was someone watching over her for me. He even told me about a party she was invited to, maybe, just maybe I wouldn't mind if she went, unless the fucking party was Barierre's birthday!

"Calm down! I also have good news." He said trying to calm me down.

"Then speak!" I exclaimed walking from one side to the other, corroding myself with rage at the thought that she would go to that kid's party.

"I spoke to some of my contacts at the FBI, they've been after Antônio Barierre for four years, when they found out that he could be the leader of a strong group of drug dealers in the country, they were just suspicious, but Antonio's trip to Florida in last week, he made the police put the pieces of the puzzle together, he is the leader of the faction.So, I filed a lawsuit to put together the crime he incriminated you for, I asked them to investigate again , but at no time did I mention that I knew where you were." He explained and I felt immense relief.

"I'm partially okay with that. The big problem is, he's still on the loose, damn Brenda is on the loose and threatening my little redhead." Told him when her safety was far more important to me than proving my innocence.

"I'm not done yet! You can at least sit down! I'm getting nervous!" He was angry and I realized that I really was a bag.

"OK, go on." Ordered and sat down.

"I ended up getting involved a little more than I should have, when I talked to my friends at the FBI, we put together a plan to discover that family's hoax, Antônio and Brenda's names were even involved in an alleged scandal with the governor of the country, but that doesn't suit us." He said and paused.

"The plan was as follows: I would have to get involved with Brenda, as my name is not on the FBI's payroll, I work outside, I could do that. So I've been getting involved with Brenda for a few days now, I turned your lover, so very soon I will have a taped confession and many clues about what really happened that day." Completed. And I almost hugged him with such genius.

"Dude! You are a true friend! Thank you so much, I hope from the bottom of my heart and soul that this works out, I can't stand having my picture in the papers and being accused of something I didn't do , I want to be free, take my girl for a walk, meet her grandmother, pick her up from school, and then marry her!" I exclaimed happy with everything he had told me.

Agnelo was a good friend, good person is very reliable. I knew I could count on his secrecy and help to protect Eloise.

For the next four days I couldn't take my phone off my phone, every message was torture, she was looking for me and I couldn't even tell her what was going on, the less she knew the better it was for her safety .

That's when Angelo came back with more news, very good news by the way.

"We got Esguerra!" He exclaimed smiling.

"I can't even believe this!" I said excited.

"One night she got drunk and started telling how she hated her life, how she always wanted to blame Julian Vicenzo to live a luxurious life next to Antônio, when he couldn't even satisfy her as a woman anymore, he just used objects in her, which she no longer felt anything. She confessed! She said that Antonio was to blame for everything, that the day he killed her baby they agreed to catch you and take revenge, but since you weren't in the house, he set fire to it with your family inside and that way you would suffer.But the detail was: it was not in the plans to put you in the asylum, that was because inside the house you burned down, the Barierre house, Antônio's brother was sleeping ."

That was a blow to me, I didn't know, I swear I didn't know, I checked if the house was empty or not, I was a real murderer, there I was, I killed two people, but the first one I didn't know, it was a fatality. I tried to hold back the shock as he finished telling me.

He also told me that there was an arrest warrant being drawn up for Antônio Barierre, but that was secrecy of justice, and that from Brenda's audio, they would call her to testify and confront her, but that everything was already under control, that I could go back soon and be with my girl.

When it was a week, seven days exactly that I was away, I received a call from Agnelo again, Brenda confessed about pressure, everything indicated that she was under the effect of medication for depression, Antônio suspected that he was being followed and started with dirty schemes to escape the ship country.

But I don't know what the fuck happened that they didn't arrest the damn woman. A great relief went through my soul when I heard from his mouth: you can go back to your house.

I hung up the phone and hit the road immediately, maybe I left the lights on and the doors open, I didn't care.

When I arrived in town, the first person I went to look for was her, but she wasn't at home, I called several times and the cell phone turned off, I was already desperate, when I remembered the damn party. I ran to my house where the biggest mess was going on, young people drinking, taking drugs, dancing and some even doing explicit things, I didn't want to see Eloíse in that kind of place.

Fuck, they knew about her, they were mad at me for falling into the investigators' trap, I tried to talk to her, I tried to warn her, but she was mad at me, very hurt and rightfully so.

It was all my fault once again. If something happened to her, I would never forgive myself.
