The next morning she took the necessary steps to locate the animal pens, as her friend had asked, so that the two could meet soon after dawn. Having done this and choosing the exact place where he should have been at the moment of the escape, the ideal now would be to return to the house and wait for the right time to escape from there without anyone noticing and hiding until Ruth went to meet him.
However, the disgusting Noemia was attentive to the girl's movements and found her interest in walking near the stables where the horses were kept strange. Still in the house, she remained in the kitchen, helping Rosa prepare food for lunch in the same way she did in the early evening during dinner.
In the meantime, Ruth limited herself to not having any contact with the girl in order not to raise any suspicion in relation to the plan outlined by the two. It was midnight on Saturday and the brothel was always crowded with people. Men and women came from everywhere. T
The next morning they left in the hope of reaching their destination before noon, but João Miro changed his plans and warned the two passengers that he should first deliver the cargo he was carrying in the truck to a nearby farm and only then would they continue their journey. Without distrusting the evil intentions of the infamous traitor, they fully agreed with the driver's decision, after all, it would have been a great kindness to give them a ride without asking for anything in return. In fact, they hardly knew what their enemies planned. Arriving at this farm, they were received by several men, all very well armed, and taken into a large and luxurious house. The women were suspicious of the way the reception was given, because what they knew was that they were there to leave a load. And not to be received that way, on the premises of the huge mansion there were several pieces of furniture made of hardwood all of the highest quality and well polished on the ceiling
After the terrible episode, where she was forced to witness the cowardly death of her only friend and after a few days of tolerance given by Santiago to recover from what happened, she was given permission to walk freely around the house without very orthodox surveillance. However, under the watchful eye of the woman with the appearance of a man who followed in his footsteps from afar, without suffocating her. A sad face hung over her face and the dull look or any emotion made it clear to anyone who watched her that she was inwardly out. Like a living dead, she lacked the motivation to enjoy living. For many months she was sexually abused by the insensitive Colonel, who had the power to do whatever he wanted, since he was an extremely wealthy man and no one would be stupid to contradict his decisions. His youngest son, Carlos Eduardo, raised in one of several broken relationships was different from his father, but his cowardice prevented him from contradicting his at
That same night the two met at that location on the property, exactly as they had agreed, at the time when the farm employees' dinner was taking place. As the house was spacious and full of rooms, it was easy to hide in it without anyone noticing its absence, in addition to the fact that it was customary not to go down to any of the rooms if the Colonel was traveling on business and his observers relaxed in surveillance. They believed that at night, the girl would not dare try to escape in that darkness without knowing the region well. That was the exact moment to try to escape, counting on the partnership of Carlos Eduardo who, even a coward, would be of great value, since he grew up in those lands and knew them very well. Showing himself competent, the fearful boy provided two mounts to escape, which were hidden at least a kilometer from where they were. After making sure that the way would really be free to continue their journey, they left as soon as possib
And help him to endure the martyrdom he would certainly be experiencing. She felt the main culprit for his suffering, because it was, she who encouraged him to accompany her in that failed attempt at escape. Deep down he did not believe he could escape unscathed from that hell where he was, but he saw a certain amount of hope in him, for he was a strong young man, knowledgeable of the region and the son of a man feared by all. He thought that at his side no one would dare lay hands on him. But his thoughts were wrong, his biggest mistake was not paying attention to the fact that he was not recognized abroad as the Colonel's son and would never receive different treatment. Now, back in captivity, he found himself powerless to provide any help. In that anguish, he wondered about the possibility that his friend was still alive, and if he did, what state would he be in? Because, knowing the intensity of the evil with which Santiago was acting against those who affronted
While all the other boys took pleasure in following in the bloodstained steps and tainted by the corruption of their parents, he felt ashamed of the corrupt origin of his origin. And despite being obliged to be there, participating in what he considered infamous, he remained level with his concept of dignity. And, when all eyes were on the birthday girl's entrance at the party, her eyes return to the same brightness as before, full of hope, when she saw her. He contemplated its extraordinary beauty that remained almost always overshadowed. For the sadness of the evil world in which he lived. His glare before, finally got sparkling. Full of life and enchanted with such beauty. Being a rich and important man in the society of the time, he was surrounded by people interested in winning him, it was easy to get involved with the most interesting women in the rich environments where he used to frequent. But that young woman who appeared there, right in front of her, was un
On some occasions the desire to see her again was so great that she even wanted to create situations that would allow her to return to the place where she met her just so that she could resume the conversation they had to interrupt during the first meeting. Antônio was a great friend of Mauricio, coming from a humble family, but faithful confidante, who always reserved most of his time to listen to his outbursts. Especially when dealing with the various problems arising from the bad relationship between him and his father, lover of bohemia and debauchery. United, the two friends devised a plan so that Mauricio could see the girl who had so impressed him. The best way was to have a big party at his house and invite Colonel Santiago. When he came, he would certainly bring his supposed niece and there would be a second chance to get to know her better. And so they did, since their father would have cared little for any festive event he did, as he loved these occasions to
While the other party went to the orchard of fruits of the region to rescue the young woman who should be waiting for them at the exact moment the fire started. But, in order for the whole plan to work and not happen, a messenger should take the news to her, through Adalgisa, her guardian, who was collaborating with everything. And so it was done without wasting time, one of the gunmen who knew the place well went there with a message from Mauricio. He used the excuse that he was there looking for work. It was customary for those who sought to provide services on farms in the region to be received by those who were there. Then they were taken to eat something, before going on their journey, if they were not accepted by the foreman. And, in the case of Eurico, who had previously worked on that property and left without any disagreement with his boss. It was easy to be welcomed by his old friends and in the middle of the brief interaction he passed Adalgisa the note. I
The main objective was to make sure that the young woman was indeed the fugitive and after confirming this, they left in return to Santa Maria farm, bringing the news to the ferocious Colonel. The foreman took the suit to Santiago: — Good morning Colonel, I bring news about the investigation that you recommended to be carried out in Marajo, regarding the girl Walquíria — Then go on talking, man, stop beating around the bush! — We found the fugitive, Colonel. She is on a big buffalo farm a few kilometers from the village of Soure. And worst of all I haven't even told you yet ... — So, say it, Juarez, don't make me more anxious than I already am! — We have also found out who was the one who had the courage to invade their lands, set fire to their rice and corn fields, so that during the confusion they could take the girl — What the hell, man, will make me lose my temper, stop suspense and sa
