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
The return trip was tiring and the only satisfaction he had in his soul was that he would get home, be able to hug his son, kiss his beloved and rest beside him as he always did when he returned from a business trip. But what really awaited him were moments of complete despair and anguish. Several times Walquíria had portents that one day Santiago would invade that farm and destroy the peace they had created for them and their son together, but he never believed his warnings. Because of the economic power she had, she was untouchable, but she knew that evil does not measure limits and, when she decides to act, no matter how strong the barriers of defenses that are created to avoid it. Because of his disbelief he would now return home and find his lands invaded and his wife missing. Upon arriving at his property, he was appalled by what he found, and demanded explanations from his foreman. He wanted to know where his missing wife and son were. The prisoner
Mauricio faithful friend, who had been suffering serious threats from Santiago, when he was trying to discover the whereabouts of Walquíria. The humiliated Colonel was again placed in front of the woman who for a long time treated her like a sex slave. So that before his former subordinates he would hear the death sentence she had in store for him. Beside the avenger was her husband and all the other men who served her on the five farms that she owned in Marajo as cowboys or foremen. Also, those who, after the invasion that resulted in the arrest of Santiago and the death of their thugs, decided to stay there. Only silence could be heard in that moment of profound suspense, she headed towards the place where she once saw Eduardo's body, totally devoured by the rodents that infested the old basement of the house, where the colonists' working tools were once kept. Gallons of flammable products, such as diesel oil and gasoline, were there in large quantities. But
After finally winning and destroying the evil that haunted them, the two could finally resume the happiness that was abruptly interrupted by the arrival of their enemies. For four years they lived there in complete peace. The son, Felipe, grew up extremely fast and became more and more identical to his father. But there was still a reckoning between Walquíria and the justice, for the crime committed against Damasio. She had murdered her adoptive father, because she seriously detested assaulting her mother, which resulted in her death. Aluísio, a respected and efficient civil police investigator in the capital, had been investigating that unsolved crime for many years and tried to find the murderer so that she could be tried according to the law. It was a hot summer afternoon, when the couple returned home from a quick survey of the farm, after learning that some buffaloes were suffering from some serious illness and a certain number of them were already dead, with th
Such was the revolt of the other women. His visit to the cafeteria and other facilities lacked permanent surveillance, due to the constant death threats he received. Negra Buba, who for his absurd size and strength was the one who led the others, and also the one who most learned to hate the newcomer. He was always criticizing and showing an intense desire to take the life of the helpless girl, who defended herself as she could in that hostile and trapped environment.The management of the place was changed a month after his arrival, the former director was replaced by a woman of few scruples, the type who did not like the prisoners and sold himself easily. Negra Buba met with the new head of the house, in the company of twenty other women, and put in their hands a certain amount of money acquired from the sale of drugs that took place inside the penal house, coming from outside and that was brought by relatives during constant visits, swearing total loyalty.
