The man who received those who arrived there was an elderly man of about sixty years. He was inexperienced and was deluded that she was a lawyer. Providing you with all the information you needed and gave you permission to enter. Roberto and Lana were dating lying in bed, when they knock on the door. She is the one who answers, and when she opens yellow when she comes face to face with her mother. Due to the silence in the room, Roberto will see what happened and soon realize the difficult situation:

 — So, it is here, with this tramp that you spend most of your time, while you fool me into thinking you were doing some activity in college?

 — Mother, please avoid scandals. Come in, let's talk like civilized people

— Ah, are you worried about scandals? Soon you, who are scandalizing the good name of our family?

— Please, mother, come in!

 — Okay, let's get this over with right away. Start by explaining to me what it all means what do you think you are doing with your life?

 — Mom, first I want to introduce you to my boyfriend, this is Roberto

 — I didn't come here to meet the man who made you commit such madness, but for me to explain why you did it?

 — Mom, we love each other!

 — Don't give me that kind of girlishness that decided to fall in love, you barely stopped playing with dolls!

 — You know what, you don't always hear anyone's explanations…

You are the owner of reason, everyone around you is wrong!

 — And are your attitudes correct? Do you really think that after all the education we gave you and the status you inherited from me and your father, it is right to end up in that end of the world and go to bed with a Zé nobody like that?

 — Wait a minute, see how you say, you are inside my house!

 — Calm down, love, let me handle this

 — It doesn't matter to me if I'm in that shack you call home, boy, remember that despite everything I'm still being very generous with you, my daughter is a minor and I could very well report you for pedophilia and put you behind bars. Thank your girlfriend for my generosity, it is for her that I am trying to be cautious!

  — You are more worried about not getting the good name of your family dirty, mistress, that's it!

  — Insolent, how dare you still face me?

  — Look here, you two, enough, stop acting like two children! Mother, let's go home, there we talk

 — It's really good!

 — Enough, Roberto, please!

The two left in silence and returned home. During the whole trip Marta screams and Lana just listens quietly, knows the seriousness of what he has done and that it can seriously complicate Roberto's situation, especially if his mother finds out that he was previously called Pedro. He was one of the kidnappers and is using a false identity, which consists of ideological falsehood. A full plate to denounce him and go to great lengths to see him forever in prison. In addition, now it has an aggravating factor, that of pedophilia. Lana is only eighteen and her boyfriend is over twenty.

The statute of the minor and adolescent considers this type of intimate involvement to be a serious crime and he would certainly be framed in yet another offense. It turns out that, apparently, neither Marta accepted her son-in-law nor he to her, creating a visible conflict between the two and that worried Lana. That he saw a future ahead full of many complications for his love life. Knowing her mother well, she knows that she will never agree to that union. Since it does not take into account the type of feeling that exists between two people, but only the social status.

Her father only won her over because, when she met him, he already held a high position in the government, if he still lived in the country, she wouldn't even accept him as a friend. Marta is cold, oblivious to love and never knew what passion is. Of humble origin and having lived a painful childhood, full of poverty and misery, she did not want any of her children to live the same poverty, as she lived until she reached adulthood.

Period when he left the drought in the interior of Northeast and went to live in Rio, where he worked as a domestic worker, studied at night and with great effort graduated in law. Today, at forty, she is one of the renowned criminal lawyers in her region. Of course, taking this into account, Lana fully understands her mother's concern about wanting to protect her.

However, she disagrees with the visible prejudice of those with humble origins without first considering that she came from there and won. She has conquered her space others can also do the same. She just reflects on these details, says nothing throughout the journey. The mother, at the wheel, continues to give the deserved scolding, but she hardly listens, because she lost herself in her thoughts.

Only when approaching the traffic light with the red alert does she come back to herself and look at the newsstand while the car remains stationary for a minute, and remembers the time when Roberto. When she was still called Pedro, and she was just a student with no idea of ​​what would happen to her in the future. At that time, she watched him every morning, reading that newspaper, cracked in the news finally at home the two, take care to take a cold shower and then are talking again, now in the teenager's room:

  — I know you disapprove of all the care I have ever had for your future, my daughter, but as your mother it is my duty to always want the best for your life

  — Spare me from your artificial comments, Mom, I know you well to know the real reasons for so much concern. What you don't want is for your important friends to know that the daughter of the illustrious lawyer Marta Santana Albuquerque is dating a pizza delivery man who lives on the outskirts!

 — Wow, a pizza delivery man?

 — Yes, mom, a decent and honest job like any other

 — Value the social environment that your family and you belong to!

 — You know what, I feel disgusted with all this social label that we are part of, for me it would be better to be born there on the outskirts and have normal parents, mutual friends and be able to date a pizza delivery man without my mother coming to rant in my ear that I'm committing the worst crime in the world!

 — So, you despise the luck you have to belong to an important family like yours? Well know that your father and I fought like two condemned to get out of those two filthy holes, where we were born, to get here and build everything we have and are today, so that we can give you and your brother the good life that have, and now tell me that you get sick of what we have become?

 — Mom, I'm sorry for the sincerity, but your dreams and goals are not similar to mine, if you and Dad were looking for wealth and status, then there you have it. But I don't look for these things for myself, I just want to be happy. It doesn't matter who. Whether it will be next to a diplomat or a mere pizza delivery man. Look at you, you have a lot of money, fame are important people in society, however I do not see any trace of happiness in either. They live like two lost souls just working and gaining a social position without experiencing the pleasure of fully living true love. In fact, Mrs. Marta, did you ever know love or fall madly in love with someone?

— I never had time to waste with petty feelings, my daughter, since early I tried to reach the top of life. My only goal was to free myself from the poverty and misery I was born into. In my opinion, loving and falling in love are things of weak people, without personality

— No, Doctor. Marta, loving is something for those who want to be happy, to live life within its highest limits. For those who understand that our passage through this world is too short a time to lose it with superfluous, fleeting things that it will not be possible to take them with us, when the time comes to make that great journey into the unknown, where one day we will all go, rich or not

— Our concepts of happiness are completely opposite to each other, my daughter, you feel fulfilled with a simple pizza, people like me and your father need much more than that

— And what do you get out of this, this yellowish little life? Mother, I turned eighteen and I never saw a single expression of affection between you and Dad, they look like two zombies, walking around the house, by chance have you ever stopped to think if my father is really done beside you, feeling complete, or is always looking for that in other women out there?

 — But what disrespect is this towards your father, girl, are you by any chance implying that he has lovers on the street?

 — No, but my father is a beautiful man, educated, of great importance and rich. What would prevent a woman younger than you from being interested in him and being reciprocated, when your sentimental life is in chaos? Mom, wake up, the world has not stopped under your feet!

Lana observation led Marta to reflect a little more on her relationship with Carlos, she started to ask herself if her daughter was right in what she said. He spends most of his time traveling, and when he's at home she treats him coldly, there is no longer any affinity between the two.

 Even in bed there are disagreements, because she sees sex as a conjugal duty and not a search for pleasure. Marta wanted to teach her daughter a moral lesson and ended up receiving a great rebuke from her, she made him rethink his concepts, his conduct and the type of behavior he would be having. And the risk that this could bring to your marriage. But this moment of reflection did not change his prejudiced opinion in relation to his daughter's courtship with the pizza delivery man.

— You were thoughtful, my mother, do you realize that I'm right?

— We are not dealing with my intimacies with your father

— Interesting how the doctor descends from high social posture, when she is angry, and pronounces foul words, isn't she, Mom? Where are those expressions full of ethics and techniques that lawyers and people from high society love to use in front of the laity?

 — Girl, you respect me! And don't even try to change the direction of our conversation

 — I'm not changing the course of anything, I just tried to make you understand that you can't control people's lives at your pleasure. And if you try to do that, you'll end up forgetting to look at important details of your own life. While worrying about preserving the happiness of his children, he forgets that his relationship with Dad is in bad shape and could lose him overnight.

  — Let me take care of that, now tell me how long have you been together with this boy and what have you been up to all this time?

   — Are you worried about being the grandmother of a bastard grandson?

Don't worry, they know my nature and I will never go to bed with any man, even if I love him with all my heart, before being taken before an altar

   — And do you really want me to believe in the possibility that you've been a virgin all this time that you've been visiting that ogre's house?

   — Well, know that it is, and don't be fooled into thinking it was in consideration of you, but because I consider marriage something serious, in my view, every woman should marry pure, without ever being sexually possessed by any man.

   — Interesting that reasoning, coming from those who acted as an inconsequential

   — I know it seems absurd, because today sex has become commonplace, girls my age have already gone to bed with their boyfriend, others are even single mothers. However, I disagree with this modernity, where ethical and moral principles were taken to the background of people's lives.

   — Very well, if that's the case, it reassured me, because worse than knowing that my daughter is dealing with a starving man is to learn that she is expecting a bastard child.

   — Well, don't worry, that's not part of my plans

Marta gave the impression that this conversation would be forgotten, but she is tireless in her purposes, it was not for nothing that she got everything she has in life. Knew that Lana was equally persistent in her goals and would never give up on living this absurd romance. With, the arrival of Carlos Eduardo, she gave him the latest news.

 Encouraging him to take serious steps to put an end to that relationship with no future. And he himself takes sides against his daughter's courtship, since he is jealous of her. The most viable solution at the moment would be to send her to complete her studies abroad. As a diplomat it would be easy to get a place in the United States or any other college in Europe to get an immediate start. The biggest difficulty was in choosing the course, because I wanted to specialize in Brazilian Literature, which would not be possible abroad.

 So, if sending a daughter abroad was not a viable option, for this factor, what to do? Marta was the mind and Carlos the executor, given the danger of seeing his daughter with a destroyed future, they would not go to great lengths to avoid such a tragedy, even if it meant going beyond the limits.

Trying to persuade her to give up would be a waste of time, because her mother had already tried to change her state or city and it just didn't work. The way was to try to solve the problem directly with the boy, try to make him give up. Understand that that union would not work and that he tried to get involved with a girl of the same level and social class. The question would be, "Will he agree to walk away from her in the face of such an argument? Of course not!

 And Marta immediately made this very clear to her husband because, from the little she observed her daughter's boyfriend, he is the tough guy in the fall. Arrogant and arrogant, who does not surrender easily to appeals or threats. For the little contact they had she knew how to evaluate the future son-in-law very well, because he was exactly as she described. Even so, Lana father remained confident in his ability to persuade. And decided to look for him. In the company of some men, he goes to the boy's workplace and identifies himself as Lana father.

 He asks that he receive it so that they can talk amicably. In order to try to reach an agreement. After asking the boss to release him, in a restaurant nearby the two men start a long conversation. And this conversation ends without any benefit, because Roberto is an irreducible type, he does not accept any kind of offer, proposal or benefits to give up his great love.

 And that sealed their destiny, because if the impasse was not resolved for good, it would be for bad. Upon returning and explaining to the wife the position taken by the young man of not accepting the proposed agreements to get rid of his girlfriend, she was forced to take drastic measures to contain what she saw as a "serious adolescent madness".

The worst thing about all this is that even though he was coerced to keep that diplomat's approach secret, Roberto opened the game for Lana, who, indignant at his father's attitude, arrives home angry and taking satisfaction:

— Dad, you didn't have the right to go to my boyfriend's workplace to try to convince him to give up on me, that's ridiculous!

— Ridiculous is that you hide from your parents that you are dating, after all we are your family and not your enemies, my daughter!

 — I know how your prejudiced mind works, you never agreed that I was interested in someone who was not part of the social elite of Rio de Janeiro!

 — You wouldn't need to be from Rio, it would be enough to be of high society, your level, because that's where you belong!

 — You are just two prejudiced people, full of ambition and aiming only at people's social status, I feel ashamed of you!

 — Pronounced these harsh words in front of her parents, she retires to her room

 — Lana, come back here! - A loud knock on the bedroom door is the only answer that Carlos and Marta receive from the furious teenager

 — That bastard, I warned him that it would have serious consequences if he revealed our daughter about the conversation, we had

 — I admire you, Carlos, still believe in the description of a type of people like that

 — But let it be, there will be change!

 — I would like you to be a more friendly husband, more present and ready to interact with me on other occasions as I see you doing these hours. It's really amazing how you defend that girl tooth and nail!

 — I defend any of you, in this house, Marta, because you are my family

 — Stop cynicism, how many times I needed to have you by my side at a decisive time and you were not present, and our son, who never had a father around to help him solve a school issue, go with him to school. football, swimming, at a school meeting. Only I have spent all these years taking on my professional life and the education of these children, because his claim is that he is too busy a man to give us any attention. Now it's there, we failed our daughter and lost her!

 — Don't talk nonsense, you know how busy I am, I don't have time for these things! But nothing is lost, I will take this scoundrel out of Lana life, even if it is the last thing I do!

 Carlos was a calm man, dominated by the woman and completely passive in face of the decisions taken by her. But get serious when it came to Lana. Everyone was at the table for dinner and waited for their eldest daughter, as usual, the meal would not start without everyone being present. That night she refused to participate, despite the appeals made, and this caused irritation in Carlos who went personally to invite her to come and meet with his family.

He slams the door several times and is not answered, being a man of great physical size and strong to the satisfaction, gave a violent kick and put the door down. Causing, with such an attitude, astonishment in all those present and filling the teenager with terror who jumped out of bed shaking, terrified with such violence, because it was the first time, she saw her father in that state of anger.

— We are half an hour late for dinner, I hope that now, without the door, nothing else will prevent you from joining us!

She slowly leaves the corner, where she hid, and goes to the living room, Marta is amazed at her husband's posture, he had never acted as a man should, showing authority in front of his children. Finally, a praiseworthy attitude, despite the damage to the door. Dinner was served by the maid who had worked with them for many years, helped raise the boys, but she had also never seen the boss so possessed. After dinner he calls her for a definitive conversation about that unresolved issue:

— Let's settle all these matters once and for all, I will give you an ultimatum: Either you turn away from this individual for good, or I will take extreme measures against this boy, whether or not he will suffer serious damage because of his insistence only depends from you!

— Dad, this is blackmail!

— See it as you see fit, but it's my final word!

— This is very serious, you are threatening my boyfriend

— I will not discuss this with you anymore, make up your mind!

Due to the great knowledge he has, it is easy to hire good professionals to do any type of service, and people connected with him were tasked with providing whatever was necessary to permanently remove Lana from the pizza delivery man, and this should happen as soon as possible.

That same night she informs Roberto about what she heard from her father and made it clear to her boyfriend that she made the decision to flee from there to somewhere else. She was sure of what she wanted and if he accepted, he would sell the apartment and they would disappear around the world.

 He, then, blinded by love. He immediately called someone who could help him put the plan into action, and explain to Devil Vulture what was going on and the threats he suffered. He received quick support and an invitation to take refuge in the kerosene hill, there they could buy a comfortable house and live without worrying about being disturbed.

A neighbor had been insisting on buying the property for some time, but he refused to accept it, however, given the current situation he decided to close the deal in a hurry and left losing with it. In less than a week he resolved all pending issues.

Meanwhile, Lana went to college and, after making some arrangements with her boyfriend, from there she went to a meeting point from where they left on a motorcycle towards the kerosene hill in the lowlands of Rio de Janeiro.

That was where the chief drug trafficker was waiting for them and had already provided a new home. The hours pass and she does not return home, that same day Carlos traveled. Marta had to meet an appointment. Urgent, which made it much easier for the escape plan to work.

At night, when she arrived and was told that her daughter had not returned home until that very moment, the lawyer wastes no time and communicates the fact to Carlos who advises him to sue the police. That done and going over the precise information of where the teenager could be, providing useful details that they could identify the miscreant, the police followed to clarify the report of the abduction of the child.

However, when they arrived at the place indicated, the suspect and the teenager were no longer there and were informed that they would have left for an unknown place. Because the property where they lived had been sold and now owned by another owner. Informed of these things.

Marta goes into despair and once again tells Carlos that he returns to Rio as soon as possible, taking the flight that same day. As a government employee, you have a jet at your disposal to cover such emergencies. Together, they try to understand what is actually happening and reach the only logical conclusion: Lana ran away from home with her boyfriend.

 Carlos again contacts the secretary of public security, who is a great friend from his college days. And he asks for help to further elucidate this serious problem, involving his daughter. Being promptly attended to, he looks forward to the results, next to his wife.

On the hill of kerosene, being together, Roberto and Lana see in the news if something is said about the disappearance of the diplomat's daughter, but nothing is reported. However, she knows that her parents will not cross their arms and will be tireless until they find her. But no one enters to take it away, guaranteed Devil Vulture, who was the biggest supporter and defender of the cause.

 And he knew of the immense love that united the two, as he considered too much, the friend bought the fight, helping them to be together at any price., the civil and military police, special forces, tactics, intelligence and the BOPE itself, all crime-fighting forces in Rio de Janeiro have joined together in order to find the fugitive couple. Arrest the kidnapper's kidnapper and return her to her parents. Roberto does not stop going to work because he will lose his job, but he was always smart for any surprise.

Whenever he is in the pizzeria, he closely observes the movement and makes sure that there are no police investigating the place, but deep down he knows that it will happen soon. In Lana opinion he should resign and leave there as soon as possible, the friend also thinks in a similar way, but he remains firm in the decision to remain in the place.

She, however, drops out of college because she understands that there would be the first place where they would look for her. And as for this possibility, I was not wrong. The police checked her daily to see if she was attending classes. Entering any of the hills in the lowlands of Rio becomes complicated if the person is not a resident or belongs to the police.

There is an almost insurmountable defense wall in this region, where not even the best armed teams can cross without suffering many losses. Whenever special forces try to invade one of these hills, where the dominant power of drug trafficking prevails.

They are greeted with a shower of bullets. Knowing this, in these particular cases of kidnappings, when the mission is to locate and rescue the victim alive, they act through military intelligence.

 Using information obtained from their informants infiltrated in the middle of the banditry. And that was the tactic used to try to identify the exact location where the two were. Used cunningly and sent one of his agents to inform them of details of the location where the couple would be. After locating them, the entire military force prepared to invade the hill, surrounding all entrances and exits, forming a true circle around them.

Preventing any possibility of escape, however, the command order was so that they would not fire. So, they did in order to preserve the physical integrity of the child, again the same dilemma was repeated. Criminals could fire their weapons at military police. But the police should follow the protocol and do nothing but wait inert.

 And take the risk of being shot deadly in order to defend the daughter of a stranger. From the neighboring hill, being informed of the military siege to capture his friend and girlfriend, the black drug dealer authorizes all members of his factions to prevent the military from entering the area, exactly where the couple were.

Order given and armored hill by the trafficking forces which, as is known, are better armed and willing to do anything to defend their territories. There are dozens of men, carrying large caliber weapons, scattered around each alley in those narrow, dark alleys. Whoever dares to enter there without being duly authorized will be immediately executed, without the least pity. That Saturday morning Marta and Carlos woke up with a loud knock on the door. It was the maid, terrified, who spoke to them about the news on television with information about the siege of the police on the hill of kerosene.

Where the girl Lana would be hiding with the pizza delivery man, still drowsy, they watched the police operation with live images and feared for their daughter's life. They knew that the complaint they made was what caused all that trouble. But it had been the only solution found to free the daughter from the offender's hands and bring her home.

Lana and Roberto are protected in the new house, well-armed men surround the place and guarantee their safety. But he started to have great tension among the military after one of the traffickers fired a shot and killed one of his partners in uniform, and the others decided to fight back. The continuous exchange of fire between the special forces and the bandits began, putting the lives of innocent people at risk.

The military command condemns the attitude taken by the troops and determines an immediate end to the exchange of fire. But the order is not obeyed, the revolt takes over the platoons that act in the action and a real war begins. Where death started to make its victims. Roberto realizes that he ended up putting his girlfriend in danger and starts to regret the decision he made, however.

She comforts him by saying that he was not to blame for anything, as she was the one who chose to give up everything to follow him wherever he went. The trafficker calls some of the neighboring factions, they who at other times would be seen as enemies, but now that the war is waging the military, they unite and, thus, he asks for reinforcements, being answered as soon as possible.

About a hundred men belonging to other criminal factions, directly linked to drug trafficking, were present in neighboring communities, advancing towards the kerosene hill and the police retreated.

Stopping the clash that leaves several dead and wounded, considering that the loss of men on both sides was immense the command withdraws military troops from the area. Collecting the bodies of his men who lost their lives in combat, the other factions return to their places of origin and on the hill where Lana and Roberto are hidden, silence reigns again, at least until firearms are no longer heard.

 And the cries of those who die in vain are echoed. The war between the traffic and the police is common there, so the residents of those locations were already used to such violence. Children grow up under constant bullet rains and learn early on how to deal with trafficking. It would be correct to say that about ninety percent of the inhabitants of Rio's favelas, hills and lowlands have some direct or indirect connection with drug trafficking.

That goes from a simple user to the product's distributor among consumers of different social classes, from the bricklayer to the politician, from the businessman to the famous artist. After the failed attempt by the police to try to invade the community and rescue the diplomat's daughter, with a toll of several dead.

It was decided to avoid another confrontation with the traffickers and Carlos had to take new measures to recover Lana. He used political influence to receive help in this regard. An old friend referred him to a group of men who in the past belonged to an extinct elite squad that, after being disbanded, act as mercenaries, providing all kinds of service to customers, everything in complete secrecy.

 Carlos saw no other alternative and hired the professionals for a rescue mission. The determining order was to bring the young woman home alive and, if possible, keep the miscreant alive and make him suffer harsh penalties to pay the affront against that family. The mercenaries' actions do not consist of a direct attack against the men of the trade, but by negotiation, the team leader is directly linked to them, in fact, he was the one who guaranteed the security of the entry.

And exit of drugs and armaments at the borders, in other words, they worked together with traffickers and had free access in the communities. They knew the exact location where the couple was and went in the dead of night, while they slept, and surprised them. Without any chance of defense, they were dominated and Roberto handcuffed, even in the face of Lana pleas.

She was driven home with part of the team and he was driven in an unknown direction in a black car. From then on, his future was uncertain. The separation of the two is done abruptly and under many tears, Lana is taken to one side and Roberto to the other in the company of four hooded men.

 It was not possible to see their faces. The place they take him to is a short distance from where they were, they throw him into a dark room and lock him up. A few hours later, you can hear voices and footsteps approaching, a voice that was far away known, tells you to take it out of the hole without light and when you are among the visitors take off the blindfold that covered your eyes.

 To his surprise, he came across that same man with whom he had talked in the pizzeria where he worked about his relationship with Lana, it was Carlos Eduardo, the father of his girlfriend who had demanded secrecy about the conversation they had:

—You bastard, didn't you tell me to keep a secret about what we talked about?"

— I have no secrets with Lana

— Not really, you useless bastard? Say this by beating him

— It is very easy for a coward to beat someone immobilized!

— You messed with the wrong family, boy. Now you will pay dearly for what you did! Give him a concealer!

 Roberto was tied with strong ropes to an, pillar that served as a support column in the old wooden shack, where they imprisoned him and started to beat him violently. They hit him so much that blood drips from his mouth, all over his body there were bruises and dark spots appeared around his eyes, due to the many punches thrown at them.

Carlos, not satisfied, pulled his hair and beat him several times on the face. He kicked him, punching him in the stomach ... The poor guy was hit by a series of blows that knock him out. The diplomat told him to wake him up, one of the men poured cold water on him, who soon wakes up. After being stunned, confused, his attacker again speaks to him and makes threats. Roberto was stubborn, as Marta observed, the tough guy in the fall, he didn't give in easily or he would give up easily.

He remained steadfast in his decision to continue his courtship with Lana, should he get out of there alive, and that irritated his executioner who ordered the henchmen to untie him. And then they took him to a water tank. Holding him by the hair and with both hands handcuffed behind him, they drowned him and then removed him repeatedly. Asking him if he still intended to insist on that idea, and the answer was always the same. The, man whose public role was diplomacy, now resolved a family issue based on threats and beatings. And yet he was not able to convince his opponent to obey his demands.

After much insistence and no results obtained, he ordered them to take him back inside and gave carte blanche to anyone who wanted to force him to change his mind. The mercenaries are good at this pressure business and they tie him to a chair, he looks horrible, his face is almost unrecognizable from being beaten. One of them throws him cold water to wake him up. They want you to be well aware so that your martyrdom is felt in full.

 Another lights an improvised fire and places the tip of a knife to heat it, being very red they take it to him and bring it close to his chest. They threaten to make a mark on the hot iron if you don't agree to leave forever and forget about the girl. But he persists in replying that he prefers death to having to forget it.

Carlos could have already killed him, but he did not want to be responsible for the death of that mangy dog, he knew that Lana would not forgive him, so he hoped that he would finally surrender and give up on her, leave and never come back, but let her leave before. aware that you would have given up fighting for your love. It was a simple proposal, he called, said goodbye and disappeared forever, but he was stubborn in saying that he would never do that. The executioner leans the smoking knife against his chest and a cry of pain and despair is heard from him that would move any good person.

Everything is filmed through a cell phone and the intention will be to send the video to Lana, with the intention that she can be moved by the suffering of her boyfriend and decide to give up that relationship to free him from such punishment. That would be the second option used by Carlos if what they were doing to him didn’t persuade him to give up first, and they did not succeed, faced with the difficulty in making the bastard go back.

 Giving up his feelings, they tie him by the feet. Then they hang him upside down, with his hands still handcuffed behind him. In that position it would not last long alive, as the blood present in the body goes down to the head in at least four hours. And with the brain flooded with blood there is instant death. This is the time that Lana will have to give up that madness. Carlos handed his son-in-law into the hands of the murderers and returned home, upon arriving he gathers his wife and daughter to explain the situation.

 Lana is distressed without hearing news of Roberto and asks her father for an answer, she wants to know what they did to him. Acting coolly, Carlos warns her that she must make a serious decision. Either give up that useless one permanently or he will pay with his life for his stubbornness. He explains that the boy is handed over to very bad people and that if she does not agree with the proposal and the executioners do not receive a position he will be killed.

It did not help indignation, revolt, accusing her father of being a criminal or a criminal, it was done and it was up to her to decide whether Roberto lived or died. Marta was neutral, did not choose to agree or disagree with the actions taken by her husband. She knows about the affection he feels for his daughter and that he does everything for love, thinking about her happiness.

 Without the support of the mother, being told all the time that the boyfriend she loves so much will die if she insists on being together, but on the other hand she knows that if she gives up on him she will be being a coward, after all, he did not give up the love he feels for her , despite the persecution suffered.

She finds herself in a labyrinth, undecided, lost and wondering which way to go, to continue fighting for that love or giving up to avoid further pain and suffering? The answer came the moment the video arrives on your cell phone. It was sent by the mercenaries, in it she can watch all the martyrdom that Roberto is going through, in the smallest details.

  From the living room, where they talked and waited for their daughter's final decision as to what they were going to do, they heard Lana scream for terror at the scenes seen in the images, her great love being tortured and branded for her sake. Worried everyone runs towards her, she angrily cursed her father and mother for what they are doing to Roberto. When watching the macabre scenes until Marta is moved and asks her husband why he went so far, his response is cold:

— It's like I said, that bastard's life is in your hands!

  Lana starts to hate them with all the strength of her heart, all the good feeling she always had for the two of them died there, along with the decision she would have to make.

— Okay, if the price to save Roberto's life was to swear to give up his love and never look for him again, or accept him in his life any more, if he ever looked for her again. In the name of everything I felt for him and for his life to be spared.

She vowed to comply with this requirement, but that they should be made aware that the two of them were also dead to her from that day forward. As soon as he decided to give in to his parents' whims, the order was given to stop the torture session and release him. Roberto was thrown completely naked in one of the alleys of the kerosene hill, where he lived. He was rescued by popular people who knew him and taken home, being taken care of by Mrs. Carolina.

A good neighbor. It took a whole month to recover from the beating, in the meantime he tries several times to keep in touch with his girlfriend by phone. But it is in vain, it gives voicemail. Later, he only receives a message, warning that the number no longer exists. The same goes for the old friend, the guy is gone and the phone is dead, he doesn't understand anything else. And they all disappeared, it seems they abandoned him, but wait, he thought:

 — Why would my best friend just disappear when I need him most? And where was it, when they took me? Did you put your men to protect me? Were they, where when the mercenaries invaded my house and separate Lana from me? And she ended up giving in to her parents' blackmail and decided to give up everything?

Roberto's doubts would be clarified soon. It would happen when little by little everything was revealed. As for Lana, she remained locked in her room for days. She would not want to see anyone she was hateful and despised her parents. Only the housekeeper, who was seen by her as a second mother, who had free access to the room.

 The friend Lorena spent time in New York and did not speak for a year, now that she returned, she went looking for her and could not have arrived at a better time. The two talked a lot and Lorena is aware of everything that the friend went through during her absence, deeply regretting her loss. During those six months that pass she remains isolated from her family and does not attend the college she chose to lock the enrollment until she was in emotional and psychological conditions to continue her studies.

On the other hand, tremendous was the pain and suffering she felt at being forced to give up her great love. She thought about him all the time, she didn't forget him for a second, she greatly regrets the nonsense of having refused to have sex with him, due to her silly pretense of going to the virgin altar, before she had accepted, they slept together so many times and let it pass. countless opportunities. Now her lover was far away, sleeping alone in a cold bed. Without the heat of her body, what was left was only loneliness and the unbearable longing that killed her day after day.

Roberto, after trying several times to contact Lana to be able to understand the reasons that led her to suddenly disappear from her life, hovering on her motorcycle around the college and passing on the avenue where she lives, visiting nearby places and using every possible strategy, but without any success, decided to stop and go on his way.

  Even if it doesn't mean he gave up on his love, however, respect for the decision she made. One Sunday afternoon, while watching a game of his favorite team in the living room, his cell phone rings. When answering, he is surprised by the person who identifies himself on the other end of the line, he is Bola, a friend he met in Santos.

  And he also came to live in Rio and started working in the drug trade with his help, since he was a very needy young man, the only one who knew about the identity change, as well as a friend he made there in the hills, and looks for him to count the news and reveal something surprising:
